      Coastal elite neo-Marxists refuse to represent the heartland in my bibeo game!

      do nukes even drop there in the lore? if its destroyed why would China waste their nukes there? it would be really cool to have a game set in an area without nuclear fallout (maybe Oklahoma) but is being conquered by the NCR which has become increasingly fascist after spreading east and colonizing. and you can side with the locals for liberation from the NCR

        the lore is like, uninterrupted nuclear expansion & armament until 2077, like every inch of the US/China/Russia are saturated with nukes. that's why its 100+ years before the first confederation of villages is created

        like Europe wasn't terribly involved buts that's because they had their own nuclear war & collapse with the middle east iirc

          oh damn. well in that case i want a fallout game set in the ruins of Prague or Guangzhou. ik "americana" is important for fallout's aesthetic but it would be cool

            well going anywhere in the world you get slices of americana so it could probably be interesting to see it interfacing with other cultures many years on from the apocalypse. of course the only people who understand fallout in the slightest are the level designers at bethesda so we can safely say nothing of the sort will ever come about.
