Yall gonna crucify me like the degenerate I am but... GET THE HELL OUT OF THE U.S.

Et-hnm Literally go anywhere else, I know we have more of the U.S. to cover (geographicly) but I'd like to see how other communities are doing, also even if you leave English as the language CHANGE IT SOME.

They've had the same general dialect since wastelands, I mean yeah we hear different accents but the general verbiage and stuff has always been far too accessible in my opinion. Language changes with situation and culture. I'd imagine having a nuclear apocalypse would cause more variation but alas no such luck.

And make it so different communities refer to the critters differently, why does everyone call deathclaw deathclaw, mole rats, rad-roach.... give us unique variations. Make us afraid of El Demonios Gris. But again I want a build up to it like in the isometric fallouts.

What do yall think is this too much of a pipe dream?

The bombs aren’t important what makes fallout Fallout is the struggles to rebuild

The whole theme is how nobody wins in war. There can’t really be any rebuilding in south america (which is what you argue for because you live there) because there were no bombs. The interesting technology core to the series like fusion wouldn’t even take place in SA due to lack of american militarism.

Countries not Canada/USA were:

Not bombed during the great war Not in an arms race leading to development of fusion tech They have no power armor, mutants, or recognizable villains No reason to rebuild other than scarcity (excluding europe and middle east)

In an earlier comment you described south/latin america as possibly an NCR trade route. I believe FO4 source code has unused data for a mutant whale, implying the existence of mutated sea creatures. It would take several centuries for the NCR to build a nation large enough to have international trade.
