KennethKarl Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 That would be odd if say Australia and New Zealand were untouched by the war. Sure they would suffer a serious economic breakdown after being cut off from the rest of the world. But after 200 years I'm sure they would be able to even themselves out and be self-sufficient.

roboroller Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 No one knows how China or pretty much everywhere besides the USA is. You can assume parts of Europe are screwed up, but a bit better then the USA. I remember a NPC who moved from Europe to the USA after the bombs fell. I think the NPC you're talking about is Moriarty. If I remember correctly he came to America from Ireland with his father when he was a child. They never explain how he and his father made it over from Europe, but I imagine it can't be too hard.

Nethriel Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Wasn't Tenpenny english? From the indications on the wiki developers have said they've deliberately left the fate of the rest of the world blank so we could have fun with it but there is a quote on the wiki from a dev saying "Allistair Tenpenny came to the Capital Wasteland from Great Britain to seek his fortune, so that alone tells you that the U.K. was also hit in the war. And if he came to U.S. to succeed, that says a lot about how screwed up Europe must be. So we just allude, a little bit, to the state of the rest of the world. We like to leave a lot to the players' imaginations, and somebody like Tenpenny serves as a catalyst for those thoughts." - Emil Pagliarulo. Plus if you think about it, with the focus on nuclear power/weapons in america and no real indication that treaties were signed to keep nukes restricted that nearly everywhere had their own supply, plus that the EC (fallout's more powerful and unified EU) and the arab nations had a 'limited' nuclear exchange before the great war, whatever limited means, and that tel aviv (the israeli capital) was hit by a terrorist nuke. That leads me to think there were nukes everywhere and from then on its really how you think countries would react to seeing the two most powerful countries nuking each other, and possibly others too as im not sure the anti-communist USA wouldnt want to take the other commies down too, do they nuke their enemies or hope that no one hits them? But from the fallout games so far it seems fair to say that no country has survived to be powerful enough or willing to take over areas formerly owned and part of america so makes me think they were all hit to some degree and are all too concerned with their own internal problems to be messing around elsewhere.

kelticpete Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 My take on the retro theme is simple: Suspension of disbelief. When film/ books did the future in 1950s it looked a certain way. To us that look is basically a retro version of the future. The game is an homage or tip of the hat to the golden age of science fiction. Did that make sense? It is not that the 1950s lasted until 2077. It is a 1950s rendering of what "the future" would be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTox23 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yes it makes sense. So what you think will we see the rest of the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
