MOD Request: Rise of the Aussies

[PoppaSmirk]

Okay, this is what I wonder. If there is a massive East/West exchange of nuclear weapons as depicted in Fallout; that doesn't real mean that the rest of the world is in the same shape. Sure, I can see that Russia might get involved in a nuclear exchange involving China and the USA, they could have been at least diplomatically allied with one side or the other. Same goes for the other major powers such as Britain, Japan, Germany, etc.... but, I think that several areas of the globe , while still messed up by the massive global catastrophe, would emerge after a few decades as moving back toward the path of "business as usual"

 

Places such as Australia, Spain, Brazil, Greenland, South Africa are all separated enough by geography from the major powers that they might have a chance to come out with little actual physical damage after the Great War; yet advanced enough that they could survive the meltdown of the worldwide economic system with a semblance of society and civilization.

 

So lets say that nobody outside of the USA really wants to mess with a landmass that glows from orbit. The other nations that survive and pull out of the economic and physical results of the war might declare North America an "out of bounds' zone for a certain period of time. Lets say that the new members of the Post War 'World Council' might set a time frame of 200 years before anyone could go in and 'lay claim' to any of the land and resource assets in North America.

 

That 200 year limit could now have expired and other nations might be gearing up to launch expeditions to come to North America and "grab some land"

 

Just for my opinion, I think that if the Australians survived the global nuclear war without direct attacks of nuclear weapons striking their lands, that they would become a major force in Post War politics, and that the Aussies would be among the first to come claim some territory. I think Brasilians would be my second vote for factions that would come in to grab some land. Spain third, as I think they would have joined with the Mexicans to establish a sort of rescue effort as the Mexican people could have suffered much from Great War fallout, but had little to deal with in terms of direct strikes.

 

I think a great mod would be to have the introduction of the AEF; aka "AussieX" faction, the Australian Expedition Force. Armed with cutting edge tech and troops that have been augmented by chemical means to be resistant to radiation from birth and rowdy as hell, on and off the battlefield. They could come into the Commonwealth and politely explain to the natives that they have bought this piece of territory, and although they don't really wish anybody any harm, they just really aren't interested in propagating with any gene damaged savages. lol.

 

It would be interesting to see the Minutemen have to decide if they are going to fight again for the idea of a democratic United States; and the Gunner faction of the game could actually become mercenaries for once. The Aussies would probably love to hire the Gunners for ...*laughing* bottlecaps, in lieu of what the rest of the world is using for currency. The BoS would have to deal with culture shock in that their efforts to secure high tech from the 'world' is pretty much a hopeless cause, once the BoS sees the advanced tech that the Aussies apparently have in abundance. The Vault Dweller would have to decide if He/She wanted to unite the people of the Commonwealth into a fighting force to push the AEF out, by making it too expensive in personnel and gear to keep trying to take over the northeast USA.

 

People of the Wasteland would have to suddenly deal with the mental idea that they are now seen as "less than human' by many of the worlds surviving societies, and also held in contempt by many of those same societies as the people that caused the billions of deaths that occurred when the bombs fell.

 

I think it could be an EPIC mod.

wholy s#*! ur creative

[PoppaSmirk]

wholy s*** ur creative

uhh, thank you. I just get inspired by what I play and keep imagining how things would be better.

 

I was kind of let down by the gaps and holes in some of the FO4 storyline, but great MODS have always improved the story and playability for Bethesda games. I don't think the series would be half as successful now if it wasn't for Modders (and the G.E.C.K.)

So you just want to retcon the entire Fallout world and make it seem like everything we have done from Fallout 1, 2, 3, 4, New Vegas, and Tactics means nothing...

 

As much as I like quest mods, I like Fallout more. I would have to pass on such a mod.

oh no. Not at all. I enjoy the Fallout world. There is just a lot that seems to still be untouched in regards to ....what is going on with the rest of the world. Of course I might be missing some things since I never played the Anchorage DLC for Fallout 3. I might need to dip into lore more to see what has been covered as to the "State of the Fallout World circa 2288'. It has bothered me a bit that there has never been any mention of what the fate of the rest of the world is, and I keep hearing Curie ask me time and time again .. what I think of the rest of the worlds circumstances...are they more severe, the same or less. I guess that started the idea train to rolling. :)

But if the rest of the world is soooooooo much more advanced than anything the Enclave or Brotherhood of Steel or NCR has, then everything in the Fallout series is made irrelevant and minuscule.

 

I like mods, especially quest mods, but I can't justify one single mod that makes 6 games seem like they no longer matter.

As a Fallout fan, I could never support a mod like this.

Europe basically was a Wasteland BEFORE the bombs dropped,and one nuke in say,Germany would be enough to lay waste to parts of Poland.Basically,EVERYTHING got nuked,and America is the only thing known thus far that built Vaults.Alistair Tenpenny traveled from the UK to America as well,so that says a lot about the state Europe is in.And Australia would basically be Mad Max without the cars.

I know that China is mentioned in...well every Fallout game, but rarely are any other nations mentioned, and if the Wasteland is slowly coming back to life...and the bombs fell here in the USA, then other nations should have been doing better.... sooner.

 

Nuclear Fallout follows (supposedly) a wind pattern that carries it not too far (on a global scale). Its heavier than air, so it will drop to the ground within a couple hundred miles of the source, although it seems the Chinese got ahold of a LOT of nukes...as its stated in FONV that 77 nukes were aimed at the Vegas area alone. That number of bombs makes me wonder how many hit New York...and D.C, and Boston seemed to get enough to create the glowing sea area. But, there must have been many bombs aimed at places on the west coast of the USA,(Hollywood, maybe up to Washington state for the Fallout version of Microsoft Headquarters --- but wait, Robert House is probably the Bill Gates of the Fallout universe, lol).. but the NCR has slowly risen to reclaim some form of society in the west and slowly moving to the mid-west.

 

I am of the opinion that Britain and Germany would be in bad shape too, which is why I considered Spain a likely 'survivor' of the worst of the troubles caused by the Great War. Its an advanced nation but slightly off the target of the higher profile nations like the UK , France, and Germany.

Its an idea, and certainly no idea captures everybodys tastes, but I'd love to see a more international feel in the fallout games. So far its just aimed at a parallel version of the United States alone, and it is a fun bubble universe, but for heavens sake, they don't even mention Canada except once....and thats to say it was annexed by the USA a few years before the bombs fell. I guess the "trapped in the 50's" motif only works if they stay in the United States boundaries :)

How often does anyone in the United States talk about Canada anyways? I don't see that as any different than the modern world, the only time I ever think about Canada is when I need some maple syrup.

 

China would have bombed Spain and Australia just for the hell of doing it.
