    Can we expand on this? I like it as a start.

    Also, something needs to be done with the Underground (something better than "lol feral ghouls everywhere). Like, some kind of mutant fungus has acquired sentience and spreads throughout the Underground, enslaving (or perhaps just eating) anything that stays underground for too long.
    But then the fungus gets sick and it needs to negotiate with the adventurer(s) for a cure. Do you let the Fungus die, knowing that the ever-present mutants of London will take the sewers for their own? Or do you save it, knowing that it will return to preying on surviving Londoners?

    Crap as in boring. All the cool stuff would be buried under water or blown up, there would be very little reason for anyone to be in London after the great war.

    I think the first step to making Fallout:England would be choosing a city (or county\region if you want to do that) which would make for a viable and interesting adventure. London, all the problems I've mentioned aside, is bloody cliche. It's like setting every fallout game in New York.

    During the 50s England was flooded with unregulated guns as soldiers sold theirs to the blackmarket or took them home as souvenirs from the war. Not just American and British guns, French, Russian and German as well. Anything that would make for a good story to tell the grandkids or would make a few bob.

    If I recall Europe TO WAAARed itself to death with the midleeast.. Not too much radiation.

    though the main plot should be, you are a young boy who is separated from his family. having only the hell of the wastes to greet you, you must defeat great enemies and monsters created from the fallout from the greatwar reaching the shores of your nation, whichever it might be. You'll get involved in many tribes and factions that war, and you help them to power, defeating their enemies and yours. But then out of FUCKING NO WHERE the Enclave shows up IN EUROPE and begins wrecking shit, or at least they LOOK like the Enclave. The game goes on and in the climatic final battle you end up having to kill a few deathclaws with your hands. This is when you hear, almost Etherialy " You have passed" Then BAM a GIANT armored wearing behemoth steps outof no where and says " You have proven yourself to be a viable candidate for the chapter"

    A Fallout style Britain including London, would be awesome.

    London, would be semi-submerged, a watery ghost city, ruins slowly crumbling into the radioactive waters, apart from the few government bunkers still being kept dry and clean by old clanking old machinery.

    The fens of east-anglia would return, an enormous waste of marshland and waterways, patrolled by roving bands of inbred cannibals.

    The proper forests would return, overtaking the south in tangled wildwoods.

    Here and there, the occasional castle might be rebuilt and refortified providing a bit of security and comfort for britain's survivors, and a part return to feudalism as our natural subservience to our social 'betters' returns, the new knights the tattered remnants of the old armed forces.

    In the north the old industrial cities, still are centres of production, the old industries still putting out the occassional bit of engineering, hellish messes of ruins, smog and coal dust as the People's Republic of Yorkshire resumes and age old feud with the Mercian City States and the Manchester Confederacy,

    The desolate moors, rad blasted wilds, empty of life apart from hill sheep and the mutated predators that feed on them.

    The great wall, rebuilt, refounded, repaired. Manned by group know only as the Order, keeping the long watch on the raiders and savages of the Scots.

    The lack of firearms in general circulation would mean that melee weapons would be much more in evidence, giving a whole general medieval feel to the settings than US fallout.

    For fuck sake guys castles are hundreds of years out of date by the 1950s, if America is caught up in that kind of social and cultural cul-de-sac England would be as well. Never mind the extra 70 years on top of that you'd have in this timeline.

    After the great war americans don't automatically start dressing up like goddamn pilgrims and ignore hundreds of years of history, why would England?

    Besides which building a castle is a huge investment in time and resources, both of which will be utterly wasted when someone digs up an old artillery piece and shoots the fuck out of your home.

    I know it. They hint at it in FO1 and 2. But the way they played it is fucking stupid. Human experiments don't work like that - you can't just have a control group and say "this is the standard of behavior against which all other vaults will be compared." And the exaggerated nature of the experiments means that you can't really glean ANYTHING from them.If I were to test the effects of heat on a bacteria, I wouldn't start with a fucking blast furnace. I'd start with an incubator.

    tl;dr vault-tec experiments were retarded and need to be toned back in-fluff.

    Yeah, vibes. Not the dominant characteristic that over shadows everything else, not the first idea they came up with then slowly refined into Fallout. Vibes.

    There's nothing wrong with any such idea being used in moderation but half the people in this thread are basically going

    England = Knights and gentlemanz.

    And if you're just after a shallow, mess around with rocket powered lances and robo-steeds kind of setting that's all you'll need. But how about we attempt to produce something with integrity and some actual thought behind it instead?

    Fallout isn't just the wild west with ray guns, it's a post apocalyptic sci fi adventure with 1950s trappings and style with a freedom that evokes images of the wildwest. There's room for both Redding and Vault City in Fallout 2, so why does england have to be nothing but castles and london?

    I don't know why people think it would be 'ye olde england' that the english would revert to, and not the more recent Imperial smash and grabs that they still pine for in their right wing politics? Though whatever sinks the boat, I would like to see some sort of 'red coat' faction appearing probably the English version of the Enclave.

    Remember that in the 1950s England was at the cutting edge of technology, we had just captured a bunch of nazi shit after all and were doing all sorts of exciting things with computers, communications and nuclear power in those days. On a few small islands around the southcoast, near where I live, there were rocket testing bases for an English space program using the hydrogen peroxide propulsion systems used in the V2 rockets, obviously it wasn't a great success but it helped make a lot of discoveries in terms of rocketry.

    In Cornwall you have the world's first trans Atlantic communication cable that travels all the way across the ocean AND the world's first commercial satellite communications hub. During the 50s England had highly advanced (for the time) technology for telecommunications via satellite and would have dominated such sciences for years to come if it wasn't for the fact some wanker in the government didn't see it as an economically viable technology.

    There's England's ancient history as seafarers, traders and explorers. There's the channel tunnel, a train system that runs under the English sea.


    There's a fuck load to work with here. England could be a land of nuclear powered castles over looking thriving port towns, it could be the RAF in leather bomber jackets and goggles using jetpacks to defend the giant radio dishes from marauding punk raiders.

    Better yet it can be all this and more at once. Why not?

    Not UK specifically, but they really need to start branching out to areas other than America. The only really interesting time range is from just after the Vault's "all-clear" signal (i.e., the time period where FO3 should have stayed) and a century or two after that. Any earlier and you're either stuck in a vault/melting as soon as you step outside, or civilization has properly re-established itself and it doesn't feel properly post-apocalyptic. And since there's no real way to set any more games in the US without potential fluff conflicts against previous games, it's time to branch out.

    Idea: "Fallout - Middle East". It was already a theocratic third-world hellhole before the bombs fell, and now it's even worse. Israel no longer has US support and gets wiped off the map as soon as their Vault-equivalents open, Islamic sects fracture even further than they already have, a pilgrimage to Mecca is even more dangerous than usual now that the Ka'bah is radioactive, et cetera.

    Or you could do "Fallout - Somalia": nothing changes.

    The government does have a tendency towards incredibly obvious questions, though. I recently finished working for the FDA on a twenty-year study of whether giving flu inoculations would reduce the incidence of people getting the flu. (SPOILER: Yes.)

    Of course, now that the study's over they'll stop handing out free shots and the flu rate will go right back to what it was. But hey, whatever.

    That's a very important question to ask, actually, and even more important to quantify. Vaccines aren't guaranteed to be "worth it," and time spent determining that now will prevent a lot of needless bitching later down the road.

    Takes place somewhere north of London where some vault placed beneath a castle has opened, the castle was sealed along with the vault and now acts like a part of the vault. The former overseer equivelant of the vault now rules large part of the castles sorroundings as self entitled lord and provides security for a few small towns sorrounding the area.

    A small coal industry has started again and and is powered by one major coal mine populated by miners with bulbous eyes and milky skin whose ancestors hid in the mines.

    Two hooligan groups representing each of their long gone football clubs fight each other from their fortress stadiums, none of them remember exactly what football was, but they remember that the other group is a bunch of cunts.

    A mysterious faction coming from London claims to represent the true British government is trying to take over the place and are fighting the new lord for it.

    If we're sticking to canon for this ...

    There are no 'Vaults' anywhere else in the world apart from America. So I propose something quite radical; total and utter isolation. The rest of the world is covered in the hell fires of post atomic warfare but for whatever mad reasons Britain is unscathed. Perhaps RAF pilots managed to take down the atomic bombers, perhaps missiles were launched at Britain from the Middle East and Russia but simply did not reach their target due to central European intervention.

    Whatever the reasons Britain is very abruptly and completely cut off from the world and their troops in the Middle East. Nervously they play the waiting game, maybe something has gone wrong with the systems on their end? They wait several weeks before sending out steamboats over to France and Germany, but hear nothing back. Britain beings to slowly wither due to lack of food supplies and goods from America and Europe. Riots start to break out and order begins to fall as people storm military foodstocks out of desperation. Then their ironclads return and the crew have been replaced and the flag that flies atop the mast is not the Jack but a Gallic one. French ghouls storm the English shores and the Home Guard scramble to the defence of Britain against these monstrous invaders. The battle rages on, the Ironclads ferrying more and more of the nightmarish creatures to Britain, their forces pushing up through the weary veterans of the great war and claiming London of their own. With the nations capital seized in a sudden blitz Britain officially collapses, the various counties withdraw and plot their revenge (Or other side quests)

    Factions:
    Gallic Ghouls, based in France-occupied London and the respective south.
    Home Guard, a ragtag band of war veterens and soldiers whom were too young to serve.
    County Guardsmen, the various men and women who defend the county they reside in
    Royal Scots Guard, largely unaffected scotsmen who have decided to temporarily put aside their differences with the English to help them in the defence of Britain (they will likely of attempted to reconstruct and fortify Hadrian's Wall)
    Irish, according to scrambled signals from Dublin Ireland is under the same siege Britain is but on a slightly smaller scale. Dublin for the time being is under Irish control.

    Players could be from either Scotland, Wales/England, Ireland or even be a part of the Gallic horde.
    I liked the idea of London being flooded, perhaps the actual game could be set several years after the invasion and the London underground has begun to flood. Birmingham city would be a nice setting as well, considering it's heavy industry could make for some pretty interesting mutant fights.

    I'll add more to this if i think of anything else, good thread guys.

    Alright guys, I seem to be a bit behind the arguments about what a post-apocalyptic Britain would look like. Still, I can contribute this, which everyone should download and read.

    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QLDA9C2C

    It's Hot War. An indie RPG set in post-apocalyptic London after the Cuban Missile Crisis started a shooting war with the Russians. Except this time both sides used "Twisted Technology", occult and eldritch science stolen from the ruins of Nazi Germany: portals to other dimensions, horrible monsters, reanimated corpses.

    London is mostly spared and the players are members of the Special Situations Group, set up by the British Government in a desperate attempt to keep control of the population and deal with the horrible threats that lurk out in the countryside. Of course, the SSG is riven with factionalism as domestic terrorists, the various branches of the Armed Forces and government and others struggle to come out on top.

    Obviously, it's far grimmer than a Fallout game would be, but it's definitely worth a look at what a more realistic post-apocalypse Britain would be like, before you Yanks start hurf-durfing about castles and gentlemen and tea (which we'd very quickly run out of, since most of it's imported).

    Also, have Cold City, the prequel to Hot War, which is about the Underground War in post-war Berlin, as agents of the occupying powers squabble with each other to steal Twisted Technology as well as dealing with the remnants of it.

    >Yanks start hurf-durfing about castles
    As a Brit, I can promise you I was supporting the castle idea.

    Well, there are a load of castles in Britain, but I don't see them still standing in the post-apocalyptic era.

    Well not all obviously, some would though in more remote areas.

    That sounds like a pretty good phrase for a mob to shout when they charge at the PC.

    "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

    Well, obviously castles in remote areas would become important strongholds. But they won't be nearly as important as I think some people would want them to be. Especially since the modern explosive weapons that reduced castle's effectiveness are still around and going strong.

    Don't forget the other thing that defines Britain - the good old BBC. Lots of broadcasting power and variety, from local stations all the way up to the World Service.

    "Temporarily Unavailable" right?

    Damn. That's a nice start to my career in megaupload file-sharing. Apparently, since it's temporary, they'll eventually come back. And I can still download them.

    So. Yeah.

    Indeed, hopefully, and most likely. Thanks for sharing it though.

    To be fair, it doesn't indicate if it's worse or better or the same than the state America is in only that it's bad enough to want to leave. I imagine the voyage would be damn hard, so a voyage back would probably be out of the question.

    Surprised, but pleased, that this thread still lives.

    Things I like from this thread:
    Castles
    British Royal Guards (or whatever they're called) have been Ghouled but still maintain their positions in London, standing stock-still until someone comes to relieve them, which is probably NEVAH!
    London has survived, at least in part.
    Some kind of Royal Family tomfaggotry, whether they be ghouls, FEV-style mutants, or maybe even Deathclaws!
    Chavs (the guys I love to hate)
    Neo-pagan druids and/or fair folk
    Permanent Punk Rock culture in England
    Viking raiders!
    >>8726557 this post
    Though there are no Vaults, I have to imagine that the Brits had some way of surviving (Tenpenny is proof, if nothing else...) so we'll need a clash of postwar surfacers against people who survived however else. Hell, maybe the British government converted their castles into fallout shelters, which combines nicely with my desire for castles
    Blackadder
    Hot Fuzz
    RAF officers still kicking ass
    And most importantly: exploding hedgehogs!!!

    Things I don't like in this thread:
    faggotry
    arguing about whether or not castles are good
    faggotry

    Would the wildlife and environment be irradiated in the UK? Wonder what mutated foxes would look like. Or badgers. Badgers are already mean fuckers.

    I imagine rodents would become serious threats, just like they are in FO1 and 2. ESPECIALLY badgers the size of dogs... oh god...

    in all probability, yes. but again, the UK and Europe wore themselves into a post-apocalypse-like state long before the nukes fell, and that was mostly an exchange between China and the US. FEV wouldn't have anywhere near the effect it would around its centre of distribution, namely southern California.
    >> Anonymous 03/22/10(Mon)17:43 No.8727778
    >>8727728
    But it's been established that, especially with the nuking of The Glow (I think it was The Glow), FEV got spread all throughout the atmosphere, and is now fookin everywhere. Especially because it's a virus, and viruses will outlast us all.

    According to http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Vaults

    "Information on whether Vault-Tec was an international corporation and were there vaults made by them in other parts of the world, or were they strictly U.S. based, cannot be released due to Vault-Tec and US Government regulations."

    I guess it could be possible for there to be several vaults in the UK, but I think there should be far less than in the US.
    (Still, can't have Fallout without Vaults, amirite?)

    I would actually really like for the UK to have been stuck mostly in a 70's punk era before the bombings, with small areas evolving into other eras.

    One town could be Victorian era while another could be the modern security camera state. Then a castle or two could have a medieval aesthetic going on.

    Really, a lot of you need to lighten up. When you say that there's more to England than knights and monocles, sure that's true.
    But Fallout in the US is an absurd and stereotyped portrayal of America, so of course there won't be a realistic portrayal of England.
    (I wouldn't be surprised if giant mutated swallows that carried around coconuts were included.)
