I understand that, but why do the Mexicans speak Spanish, yet the Americans speak Russian?

probably because the southern regions are supposed to feel foreign to the player as the main character comes from the north. english is substituted with russian and spanish remains spanish. something similiar was done in original war
i like that cool-badassery touch like in the first falloutFallout: Sonora Art

A developer from Russia, and speak Russian. When you have such a game will make, the NPC will speak English
There's not much Spanish, you don't have to worry)))

that's the point. if a german version comes out, there will be german in place of russian and spanish will still be spanish

Maybe I should rephrase my question like this... If they have the language skills to write dialogue in Spanish, why don't they make it English by default, instead of Russian, so that it wouldn't require translation?
Throwing in a random spanish word here and there hardly counts as "having the language skills", camarada.

That's right, it could be a Russian to Spanish Google translation.
Yeah, mixing a few words into your native language doesn't take a lot of finesse with the language. Writing half the game in Spanish probably would. I know you're not mistaken when it comes to why it's half Spanish but your comments made me think of something. Games are translated to your native language so you understand the characters until they run into a language that isn't "common" to you (as a general basis). The base language should always be your native one so you understand the words and the foreign aspects made foreign to you unless you know other languages.
My question is, does anyone think the idea of this being translated for a Spanish speaker would create a different experience?
My point is that if the idea that the people in the southern parts of the game speak the language that would be spoken there and your game is made in Spanish because that's what you speak it kinda takes away from the moments that you run into Spanish speakers in the game because everyone is just speaking the language already in game. Just some food for thought.

Still Mildly Glowing
I have a question about this picture: is this an accurate representation of the map’s size, more or less?
Also, I see that the Sonoran desert doesn’t end that far from San Diego. Is there a chance that we’ll see Dayglow/The Glow in this game? Are there any plans for returning locations from other games (even Nevada,) or is it all new?

Use precise idioms and dialects, but for that you really need to know that language and area or even better be from there and/or study the region intensively (and no, Movies and stereotypes don't count as studying).
Or have a linguistic diploma for the all around grasp of a language family. But even then you need to study the more precise region, or everyone from there can tell you that while you utilise the regional language, you still don't grasp the local idioms, styles and uniqueness (And yes, that goes for speaking AND writing, even if writing has quite some leeway sometimes

I guess one way of looking at it, is that character is bilingual and decides to translate in his mind all the English into Spanish when he hears/reads it.

No detailed details. Just to say that there will be a Phoenix and Tucson.
Peculiar properties:
- Brand new plot
- New world map (11 large and 5 small points on the world map)
- The game is based on the story and the role play
- High degree of authenticity of locations
Lmao, I guess that works. Just a thought I had while reading this thread though. Something I never really considered and could vastly change a player's experience in my opinion.I guess one way of looking at it, is that character is bilingual and decides to translate in his mind all the English into Spanish when he hears/reads it.
It took ages to translate Nevada, and as far as I an aware, it isn't even finished yet... so I wouldn't think much about this ones translation yet. :>
It's 2019 how are things going?

wouldn't count on it until at least the third quarter of 2019, big fanmade mods always tend to underestimate
