wont be much of a game if its set in china, because they would have unfucked themselves by now and rebuilt society, it would be kinda boring if nothing goes wrong
Fallout could be one of the best series ever made if it wasn't handled by Bethesda.
There are so many unique things to do with the strange reto-futuristic cold war hysteria.
New Vegas is such a good example of what it could be.
And a game in China! It'd be so neat! I wish a mod team would do it but it's likely a very large endeavor
I'd love if there were an explicitly socialist main faction in a Fallout game for once, as opposed to relative nobodies like the Followers of the Apocalypse or "socialist-y" factions with vague politics like the Minutemen. It kind of makes sense that there would be very few such organizations in America, given that the pre-war US was a quasi-fascist dictatorship which literally burned any "seditious" political theory (though I doubt vault dwellers would try to maintain/revive capitalism no matter how indoctrinated they were), but China is another story entirely so I'd be down for a game set there.
Playing Fallout London and, while I'm not an anarchist, it was refreshing that we got just that with the Pistols. Even if they aren't one of the "big three" factions.
OH I completely forgot about Fallout London its out right ? How is it ? (Need to mark down to play that sometime this year )
If you have a good-ish rig (as it's poorly optimized) and the patience for some annoying bugs, it's very good. The devs poured their everything into making London feel like a varied and dense place with its own identity separate from the Commonwealth, some underlying similarities notwithstanding (eg. no FEV means no supermutants but you still have loads of ghouls and ~~raiders~~ hooligans to kill), and it expands on visual story-telling that Beth Fallout games are actually good at. Aside from that, the quests are better (even if they sometimes fall into the vanilla shoot-n-loot formula), there are a lot of skill/perk checks in dialogue and I also quite like the companion roster and their unique quests. YMMV on some of the goofier factions (one of them are raiders who LARP as 18th century British sailors) but I personally like Fallout when it embraces some absurdity.
That being said, I wouldn't quite say it's Fallout 4's New Vegas like some have. It still has some fundamental flaws, some of which are actually worse than vanilla F4, like the main quest's handling of the faction conflict. Also the settlement system is still an unfinished mess and some of the original game bleeds through there.
There are planned updates which will include stuff for the main quest and even some "DLC" so who knows how much better it will get?
Well that does sound like its worth at least 1 maybe 2 playthroughs. Thank you for your input.

holy shit this looks sick, I'd play the hell out of a Fallout game set in China
Fallout china is "evul maoist cultural revolution never ended" - I doubt that bethesda wouldnt do brainworms when they create such a game.
yeah, this would absolutely need to be a modder team like the people who did FO: London
Tbf, isn’t all info we get about China filtered through US propaganda?
No in the fallout universe dengism never happened and the cultural revolution never stopped, and instead the soviet union took the place of irl china. Despite this china became the other superpower.
Does the universe say anything about the actual Cultural Revolution? Because I have my doubts China would still be the same state as in the 60s and 70s if it's in a position to invade Alaska. For all we're concerned, China could have been an actual lower-stage communist society pre-war.
No we do basically know nothing about China, it is sufficiently advanced but that is it. We know that they vaguely invaded their neighbors and the us and China fought in the Philippines, Alaska and then on the chinese mainland.
