I've just booked for Nukacon in November!

A UK based Fallout Convention! One that I can get to! Woohoo!

I plan on cosplaying as my Vault 33 OC, Blossom, a kindergarten teacher who finds herself occassionally, strangely, outside of the vault.

Are there any other UK based Fallout fans here?

The poll is finished! Now for the infodump

Fallout AU Infodump Pt. 1

==Pt. 2 coming soon==

Jekyll was born and raised in the rural Scottish wasteland, bright eyed and intensely curious about the world around him. His talents in science were apparent from a young age and when a passing merchant mentioned an open vault that offered education to those that qualified the opportunity was quickly taken.

(Due to the fact that Fallout lore is primarily focused on the goings on in America and it’s themes around it being uniquely catered to its culture a lot of this will be my personal interpretations and hcs, it is subject to change)

Society in U.K. in the post nuclear apocalypse is somewhat intact, given its old but enduring infrastructure there’s a few settlements active in the area. London itself still remains as a city, albeit one with pockets of deadly radiation containing mutated rats, pigeons, insects, you name it. Due to the initial societal collapse at the end of the Great War and now the lack of fossil fuels the current culture of London has gone back in time to the Victorian era…with an apocalyptic twist of course. Streets lined with gas lamps now contain candles or certain glowing radioactive materials, markets now sell mutfruits, tatos, mole rat meat, you name it. But one of the important aspects of the city keeping it together is it’s open vault nestled in the upper class neighborhoods (a gift from the U.S. government to the British government) with its stable infrastructure, education, and resources. With something as valuable as this those who stepped foot in the vault were vetted before they could enter and those permitted to live there permanently even more-so.

Robert Hastie was a hard working wastelander, working his way to becoming a prolific merchant and eventually earning a place within a vault and starting a family. His son Lanyon was born and raised in the vault, living a quite literal sheltered life with privileges that those who lived outside could only dream of. He expected to coast through life as a doctor (a highly valued profession in such a place) and thinking that his classes would be a breeze. It was not. And that’s when he bumped into a rather roguishly handsome young man by the name of Henry Jekyll. Henry was granted temporary visitation in order to learn everything that he could about science with a hungry mind, utterly captivated by the well maintained prewar relic he was studying in.

In exchange for tutoring Lanyon Jekyll would hear many stories from him of what life was like the vault and even some information and stories he’s heard about what it was like before the war. Lanyon taught him how to speak in a proper British accent, how to dress well, how to use his charm, and they would grow closer and closer. A relationship like theirs was not meant to be in the vault, nor was it looked upon favorably in the city outside, so it was kept behind closed doors and lingering looks and late nights together…until it all came crashing down.

“I would love to see Fallout in the UK.

Swords, armor, weird science, atomic sorcery, FEV that DOESN’T create Super Mutants but wiry quasi-Elves… and maybe Bruce Campbell voicing a major character along side of Patrick Stewart.“

Wandering a different type of landscape ✨

I love collecting pictures over here in the UK of what could be plucked straight from Fallout, just with moss instead of sand 💕

I was talking with my husband and he said that the most likely thing would be that the devs would one day maybe create a small DLC like 'go to London, get something, come back' and if that was popular would maybe create a game. But even that is unlikely as their focus right now is the US. But you know, if the franchise keeps going, eventually they're going to run out of America, and then we might get our chance. I might be 90 years old and half-senile, but if it ever happens I will be first in the queue!

  edit - the inner-city London council estates could be the homes of two warring groups - poor people trying to survive facing against a group of raiders and slavers, and you could try and intercede. The small villages could have, occasionally an Andale thing with cannibals, or just be full of strangely sweet old biddys. You could even have some nods to classic english things, like a Miss Marple style murder mystery or a 'time traveller' showing up.

I just have this thing for the post-apocalyptic in general, so it would be great to see something set in my home country. Yeah, that’d be really good! I mean, the UK has a lot of variety for scenery, so it would be pretty cool.

I know, right? And, visually, it wouldn't be the desert-type stuff we've had in the last two games. Overgrowth! Buildings beaing slowly eaten by irradiated, mutated trees! Small communities huddling out their lives in ruined red-brick streets. All those ancient churches now harbouring enemies. The unique enemies there could be in all the new locations.
