I dont believe Interplay, or anybody else has specified where or when Fallout III will be set. So could someone answer me on this?
 
I dunno, but it's a good guess it might be in good ol' California. I wasn't really surprised when I learned Fallout Two's setting was in California. But of course, the developers might shy away from the original storyline and it could take place somewhere else. Hopefully, they won't change too much.

Besides, I like it in California. It had a more "wasteland in the desert" setting.
 
I think a more northern, bitter area would be better. It would capture the whole 'Nuclear Holocaust' feel to it.
 
Northern from California, as in Oregon? So instead of a rugged desert landscape, we'll have trees and lumberjacks? Will that fulfill the "Nuclear Holocaust" vibe?

I am, of course, just playing. Just got back from Oregon and I'm renewed with a greater appreciation for sunny Cal-for-ni-a (remember the Beach Boys: "Two girls for every boy").
 
No, I'm talking about about a radiated Tundra and shit. There'd be no trees, and definately no lumberjacks.
 
Hm. I read in another thread that Fallout 3 will be set in and around Denver. Is that in California? Or Colorado?
 
Denver's in Colorado,...I think. I wish they would visit the east-coast, like Washington or maybe New York and Chicago.
 
I'd like to see the game's setting move down south to Mexico or Central America. Those areas might not have been so badly damaged by the nuclear holocaust, and who knows, SOMETHING might have survived by hiding in some old Mayan pyramids....?

Just a thought.

I don't think they will get all the way to the East Coast. If my guess is right, they will somehow want to tie the game to its origins in California. So even though you're character will not be a vault dweller or descendent of him, he may have some kind of connection to the west. That way they can still give you an update on whats going on back in the region (hell, i wanna know what all my old friends are doing... NCR, Vault City, Arroyo), but still have the game new and fresh. So I think the East Coast would probably be out but it could very easily be Denver as the pictures hint or Mexico (though the pyramids are probably out... they are at the way bottom of Mexico if I remember and that would be a bit far from the setting).
 
I prefer good old california. I'm too attached to the good old wastes i guess. But imagine vault city, reding, san, klamath, reno - with new shiny appearance :lol: ! That's something i'd like to see. I vote for California. Most of us have too many memories from there to resettle in some crappy tundra :evil: :evil: :evil: .

Yes, it would also completly ruin the setting, but who cares about that?
 
Yeah, I think we all agree on the fact that Fallout should be set in America, ie Canada or the US of A.. Since the whole setting is from that place, but I do agree that it would be fun to learn more about the other world.
 
Eourope would be a fresh change. if they run out of ideas for America the can always start fresh somewhere else. there they could have everything different. the gouls could be smellier and they could make whole new mutants or something like that
 
Erm the ghouls could be smellier? and that would change the gameplay how ?

Vault Dweller III: "Ghouls!"
Ghouls: "Est-ce que tu te connais la demagogue?"
Vault Dweller's NPC: "They're French!"
Evil Ghoul Leader: "Stinky pits and all, baby!"
 
hah, they could get stereotypes into it and all :). Enter France and the ghouls automatically surrender to your party on sight...

I definitely agree though... keep fallout in america, but shed some light on the rest of the world. And when we get tired of fallout, milk the cow by moving it across the oceans.
 
Hey, if you want to play Fallout in Europe wait for the Fallout: Yurop mod - Fallout.kelocnet.cz. Fallout3 belongs to California :x .
 
I wonder, why would it ruin the setting to put it in Europe? Europe is pretty diverse, and would allow for some interesting things, to see how the world affected Europe etc.

However, I would still like to keep it around the original places, just to see what happened afterwards.
I would like something fresh, as well, though. They did a relatively good job for the placing of Fallout 2, it was new, but had some old places as well.
