Seeing my Hometown (Toronto) included is cool, but you have to explain why its a frozen wasteland, because Toronto is a relativly hot city, we have had temperatures in excess of 100 Fahrenheit in the summer. Also, do you plan to make a full toronto? because this city is huge! and dont forget to include World War 2 British weapons, there are huge stockpiles in toronto of Stens, Bren Guns and Enfields
Yeah the frozen wasteland idea is related to a Weather Control Lab. It would be run by rogue remnants of the Midwest BoS. They used the blizzard to conceal their base originally, but the device malfunctioned somehow and won't shut off. One of the quests would have you repairing the device. It think it would be a cool way to implement some kind of weather control device like the Nevada Skies mod adds.
It would be more likely that Toronto would be mentioned and referenced heavily, but not a location you could visit. You would probably visit the surrounding areas close to Toronto (relativity close anyway). The Devil's Brigade would have a presence in the area with plans of eradicating the last vestiges of BoS, and claiming the Weather Control Facility as their own.
It is also more of a rough guideline/brainstorm rather than being set in stone.
Well should it be included, the city's subway system would be fun to explore, as would its vast areas, Scarborough, East York, North York Etobicoke and of course Old Toronto. Hell, it could be a game in itself its so big! I would love to see my area falloutized!
everything starts out as a rough guideline/brainstorm
That's really why it would be mentioned but not a location you could visit. It would make for a full game itself. The city doubles for New York quite a bit in the movies. This would leave the next game wide open for a To(Ronto) based game that would tie up a few story hooks from Motor City.
Edit: Here is a very generalized and rough guideline of a working timeline. I haven't put too much time into this idea recently due to other pressing matters, but I hope to have more stuff to post soon.
2053
The Weather Research Facility is constructed by Poseidon.
2060
Traffic on the streets of the world stops moving. Fuel becomes too precious to waste on automobiles, so alternatives are explored. Massive layoffs and strikes take place in Detroit. This hurts the automobile industry in Detroit immensely.
2061
American Auto-industry begins to put massive amounts of money into researching new tech for automobiles.
2066
Food Riots cause even more trouble in Detroit. This leads to over 1000 deaths in a heavily televised uprising by several anarchist groups. Martial Law is declared for several months.
2068
Detroit begins to recover with thousands of additional jobs opening up at factories all over the US.
2070
The first of the Chryslus Motors fusion-driven cars are developed in Auburn Hills, Michigan near Detroit. Many Chryslus plants have long since been converted into making military ordinance with the factories in Detroit producing most of the nation’s ammunition at this time. The new fusion driven cars are a hit.
2076 – Food and energy riots begin again in major cities throughout the United States. Military units begin to be deployed in cities within the United States to contain rioters, and many temporary prisons are constructed. A state of emergency is declared, and martial law soon follows. Detroit is so overrun with crime and the New Plague that it is quarantined from the rest of the US.
2077
January 22: The first domestic use of power armor within the United States for crowd and quarantine control. Units originally serving in China and the Anchorage Front Line find themselves fighting Americans at home. Food riots increase, and many civilians are killed. Several soldiers defect from the military both in Canada and the United States.
October 23, 2077: "The Great War"
After decades of feuding over the world's resources, the breaking point is finally reached. No one knows who the first one was to press the button, but in the space of roughly two hours on October 23, 2077, nuclear arsenals across the world are emptied as nations effectively destroy one another in a single, collaborative action. The long years of needless death and destruction in a fight to control Earth's resources are made futile as society comes crashing down in less time than it takes to watch the average movie. The survivors refer to this man-made apocalypse as "The Great War."
The Burning Times begin as fires spread throughout the area. A few of the remaining oil fields in Detroit burn for several years afterwards.
2079
The Jitterbug virus first appears in the aftermath of the apocalypse . It is primarily transferred through bite wounds or exposure to contaminated blood.
2099
The Naval survivors based near Chicago emerge from their Bunker to a new world. The GLC is formed, and Great Lake City follows soon after.
2103
The GLC (in cooperation with local militias) heavily patrols the regions around Great Lake City, exterminating groups of raiders, Buggies, critters, and Ghouls in the process. Several FOB’s are formed in the surrounding areas. People are recruited from the local populace to fill the GLC ranks.
2105
The GLC manages to reignite the pre-war industry sector of Detroit known as Automation alley.
2117
A large gang of raiders known as the Cougars begin to cause problems for the area. They launch a campaign of looting and pillaging the outlying areas around the Great Lakes Wastes. The local militias prove unsuccessful against the Cougars, so they request support from GLC. The GLC engages many of the enemy, but they prove to be very elusive; using guerilla tactics, and human shields as defense. The Cougars are driven from the Detroit area, but the GLC loses many soldiers.
2119
Due to persistent efforts by the GLC and local populace, the Cougars are finally wiped out due primarily to starvation.
2130
The Great Winter begins. Many bunkered down in Vaults or other suitable shelters. The Great Lakes Wastes are stuck in a perpetual snowstorm for many months. Thousands died of exposure, disease, or famine.
2135
The Great Lakes Wastes begins to recover from the Great Winter. GLC begins to establish trade routes to better equip themselves and re-establish contact with the rest of the country.
2161
Moses (Working name) was one of the leaders of the faction of super mutants who fled to the East after the death of the Master and the destruction of Mariposa Military Base.
2161 Fallout Begins
2167
GLC repairs the equipment in the Detroit Salt Mines. The Salt Mines are reopened shortly after. The Great Lakes Wastes begins to prosper.
2162
Moses leads mutants on a trek for 20 years through the wastes. Their tales would make for interesting conversation. They could talk about many areas that would be from the previous games like Vegas, the Hub, The Glow, etc….
2197 Fallout Tactics begins.
2198
The few mutants that remain in the area stumble across a pre-war vault near Detroit. A Mutant/Ghoul community is founded there called ( Untitled). They start their own religion maybe? They use a Geck to build a utopia underground. A cache of historical books is discovered in the vault. Moses stumbles upon the location where he meets a smart Mutant named Erkal . They work together on a cure for mutant sterility. So members from Masters Army, Nightkin, and remnants form Gammorins Army have all come together to gather their forces. A new religion is founded with Moses being the God.
2207
The Mutants of Utopia begin to start experimenting with FEV obtained from scouting expeditions. They are attempting to perfect upon Masters research. One of the Mutants knew the Master and saw some of his research first hand. He has a photographic memory so he was able to recreate some of the work.
2241 Fallout 2 begins
2277 Fallout 3 begins
* Once again, a very rough template I am working with so far. More to follow soon hopefully...
