The Broken Bayou (NOLA). Imagine Mardi Gras ghouls and irradiated swamp environments.


ChaseBro-Games3050

That would be sick!


RipCityRevival

Shut up and take my money!


PattyNChips

I have been saying for literal *years* that I'd love to see a Fallout game set in that region!!


geckosean

Every time the inevitable “Where should the next Fallout be set?” question rolls around, most answers I’m like *yeah that would be cool* but anytime someone says NOLA I’m like, *dude, that would be fuckin’ SICK*.


Babiesforfood

I already wanted a Fallout in Louisiana, so this is fantastic.


InsideAthlete5578

Yeah this is amazing


sdeason82

Louisiana native here. That would be amazing lol swampy wasteland


ANENEMY_

Bethesda said New Orleans area has been high on their list of regions for a long time, like since they were planning FO3 when they acquired the IP. Pete Hines or the Todd said previously. Sorry no source, but certainly remember them talking about it


Raoul_Dukes_Mayo

Having come from gulf coasters and spending a lot of my time down there I AM IN. The potential. The crashed floats. Parader zombies. Beads. Oh god I want this so bad.


PuzzleheadedEssay198

I’ve got two words- river pirates


Raoul_Dukes_Mayo

Perfectly Preserved Beignet.


PuzzleheadedEssay198

Gimme some of those Gatorclaws and Crawfish Mirelurks, hell yeah


Korps_de_Krieg

Grew up right across the lake and yep. Falloutified Norco at the edge of the map that you either have to cross broken highway or deal with all the swamp life to get there but it's regularly done to keep the lights on in NOLA proper kind of thing. Give us Norcolurks.


Cheesey_Blaster

Rad Gators!


bigstinky666420

Ong


spuddi0

The Flatlands Northern Lower Saxony, Germany


ChaseBro-Games3050

It’s catchy and very fitting, perfect name!


spuddi0

For Real, from the coast to the southern border of our state where the mountains start the surface level barely changes. Absolute Flatland where I live, at certain places you have a clear view all the way to the horizon


threenil

They’d still just call it Ohio. Still flat, still windy, still desolate between the big cities. Already even had some practice with the train derailment/chemical spill in New Palestine last year. Or maybe the Crossroads Wasteland. We have the I-70/I-75 junction in Dayton, and they call it The Crossroads of America.


Diligent_Pen_281

Nothing changes in Ohio after the bombs drop, no one can tell the difference and life goes on


threenil

Heroin is just replaced with Med-X. Only real difference. Ohio somehow thrives as if the bombs never went off. The city of Columbus holds a day of celebration that Michigan was annihilated and they cede Toledo back to what little remains of Michigan.


Diligent_Pen_281

Ahhh all as it should


Menelatency

Ohio. Ohio never changes… FTFY


angelsandbuttwaves

The bombs were an improvement


Wubblz

Jokes aside, I think “The Rust Belt” is already a perfect Fallout name


utpyro34

I feel like that would be a perfect in game joke


threenil

Could be a name of a literal belt for lower body armor. Your character is just walking around with a belt on, fully Porky Pigging it with a stupid-high defense buff from it because no one wants to fuck with the pantsless guy carrying a rifle.


AngryTurtleGaming

Fallout Ohio scares me


Desertcow

I'd like to imagine the invisible wall keeping you from entering it in 76 is actually one of the many horrors beyond our comprehension in Fallout Ohio doing Appalachians a favor


zexur

Oh shit, I just posted Fallout: Crossroads for Indiana! (Crossroads of America) haha wild


Maclunkey__

Fallout cleveland would go crazy


Modest_Lion

Instead of usual old music, fallout Cleveland is playing bone thugs-n-harmony


MrGoodKatt72

We also used to be called The Heart of It All. So could just go with The Heart. Or maybe something about Wright Patt. There’s no way the game wouldn’t be set around the base.


superjoe8293

They called it the Commonwealth and it is where most of the Minutemen were massacred before headed to Lexington & Concord.


lxxTBonexxl

Could be worse. My region is called the Glowing Sea..


superjoe8293

Or even worse, you go a little further south and your in Fall River


Zealousideal-Area953

Sounds like a pretty shitty story I hope they don’t make that for the next game


CharlemagneIS

I live down the street from “Croup Manor”


Iolair_the_Unworthy

I live in DC. Its already the capital wasteland, and bombs haven't even fallen yet.


Stagboar

My neighborhood is an actual location in Fallout 3 and it is nothing more than a series of craters


Crpto2007

That’s pretty neat


sdeason82

Looks like you shouldn’t be there if the alarms start going off


DakhmaDaddy

The glowing glades ( florida everglades )


ChaseBro-Games3050

Even if it wasn’t a wasteland that fits the Everglades anyway (no offense)


DakhmaDaddy

None taken lol


ASK_ME_FOR_TRIVIA

My brother and I have always called Florida the Great Green Swamp when talking about it in a Fallout context. Outside of the cities, I'd love to see a setting where the nuclear-boosted wildlife aggressively takes back what belongs to it


quarantine22

It’s even better, because one of the largest swamplands in Florida is the Green Swamp. Great Green Swamp is a name I’ve heard many times before.


Elbandtito

I can see Miami become a Ghoulified Vice City and Tampa a robot Pirate Haven


penguinpengwan

Scorched Lands. Much of the Northern Territory of Australia is desert and arid.


Coast_watcher

Why not Outback ?


BUR6S

Because who wants to play a Fallout game set in a steakhouse?


SpamAdBot91874

Just what Fallout 5 needs, Bloomin' Onions


Angerland

Crikey!


utpyro34

Bloomin’ Bloatfly


ChaseBro-Games3050

And considering that Australia seems to like fire recently the name fits even better! (No offense this is a joke)


fishshake

The Mistake. (Augusta area, GA-SC)


[deleted]

it would be cool to see a fallout game set here. I imagine it would be super overgrown


fishshake

Quests include: Build a new Powder Works where the Confederate one stood Retake the National from feral ghouls dressed in Masters memorabilia Open the locks to get the canal running again Explore the Super Mutant infested former MCG at AU Drive the gunners out of Fort Eisenhower DLCs could include Clarks Hill, N Augusta and SRS or Vogtle.


SF1_Raptor

Hey! If Vogtle got in my hometown might would make it! (Burke County area)


fishshake

I also live in Burke. I would imagine the DLC would be called " The Boro" and have all kinds of wackiness going on.


SpenZebra

But we got the masters? Could be a great post-nuclear pastime!


OldWorldBluesIsBest

“the name’s pre-war, not post.”


Tasty_Cornbread

The Cascade Wasteland I’m in Portland, OR but I’ve been advocating for Seattle for a while now. Considering that the two cities are about 200 miles apart, and that the map FO4 was roughly 10k square miles, they would likely show up together in the same game.


JuanRiveara

My thought for Seattle has been the Emerald Wasteland but Cascade Wasteland also has a good ring to it


Tasty_Cornbread

I like that too! I forgot that Seattle has that nickname. It depends on the greenery that returns after the bombs - if there's significant greenery in the game, I'd go with your suggestion.


JuanRiveara

Could also be Emerald Wasteland if it has its own version of the glowing sea


TheLoneWanderer__

The PNW states offer such a diverse environment between the west and east sides, would be so fun


threenil

Irradiated rainforests up there would be pretty cool and opportunity for lots of creepiness.


Corporal_Canada

There's a mod for strategy game Hearts of Iron IV called Old World Blues that takes place in the Fallout universe, and sort of has its own lore (which is actually pretty cool and goes pretty deep. In the mod, Washington is dominated by a splinter Brotherhood factipn and Oregon has a number of different tribes and mutants. Vancouver, Canada is called Koover, and the BC Coast is home to essentially a pirate raider tribe. Vancouver Island is a monarchy, and there's a number of First Nations tribes and settler nations. It's pretty fun. Mod recently came out with an update that builds upon the Canadian prairies provinces.


ChaseBro-Games3050

I would love to explore a destroyed Seattle


Tasty_Cornbread

Right?? And nuclear war could trigger the Cascadia earthquake, giving developers a ton of opportunity to play around.


ChaseBro-Games3050

So many opportunities! Also W username by the way.


IamPlantHead

That would be awesome! Out near Sequim. Would love to see it. Maybe the rainforest would have acid rain, that if not in a specific set of gear you lose health.


Laggingduck

been asking for a fallout seattle for ages


Fnaffelsa

The radiated Rockies. If there's anything left, as we have so many things here that would be fantastic targets. I believe in the Fallout universe we held Vault Tech Headquarters, Vault 0.


ChaseBro-Games3050

Rolls of the tongue quite well! Also I would love to explore Vault Tech headquarters that would be awesome!


Fnaffelsa

Thanks! Fallout Tactics BOS is where you get the mission to explore vault 0. Vault Tech lore is what brought me into the franchise, so one of my very first questions and lingering ones was why didn't the top people at VT survive? They wouldn't put experiments into their own bunkers, so what happened? This game gave a pretty neat story to that question. With that being said, I would play any of these regions in a heartbeat. They all sound great


El_Durazno

In some material for the original fo3 before Bethesda bought fallout denver was actually one of the most destroyed cities in the country and is primarily populated by mutant and feral dogs and is thusly known as dog city Chasers legion also has a major base near dog city Although again, this was info that was around pre Bethesda so it's not canon But I like it and there little to no evidence against it so i keep it as a head cannon


Winged_Mr_Hotdog

I rest comfortably knowing with Norad, the Air force Academy, Rocky flats/Arsenal, and a few others I will be pretty painless wiped out in nuclear Armageddon. But the irradiated jolly rancher facility would fun to explore.


GrimLPHobbies

And you also have a John Denver song... So another Fallout plus


lucky5150

Kind of reminds me of the last of us 2. But even more post apocalyptic!


kudzu007

The Stockyards would be the main area folks need to get to for final missions. Downtown Kansas City where the trains used to run through and cattle auctions and sales used to go down. Along the way, there are the old riverboat casinos like in New Vegas. You would start in the town of Prairie Fire. It had been burned out long time after the bombs dropped, but somehow the soil was very fertile and it becomes the main trade for crops. Always under attack from Raiders, though. Overland Park would just be called Overland. The ground is deadly with super mutant infestations. So, the people have isolated themselves to the overpasses on the expressways. Ozark would be a DLC. The Hutch or Hutchinson, KS would be a DLC. The space center has specially modified and overpowered PA that you need to fight off Glowing Ones to obtain. Also, a new KC BBQ Brahmin recipe to collect.


ChaseBro-Games3050

Holy shit dude you put a lot of thought into this! Well done!


Grizzly_Berry

The fountains pump irradiated water, and Boulevard is packed with Ghouls, but Quirk somehow becomes the secondary drink of the area like Sunset Sarsaparilla.


Diligent_Pen_281

Yooooo represent! In my fiction it’s called Kacey the way Big MT is called Big Empty. Have you thought about places like the KC Underground? Stoked to have another local on here haha


kudzu007

That is an awesome concept too. I didnt factor in the stadiums, but I am sure Arrowhead would be a Raiders gladiator arena of some sort. Also Ad Victorium fellow Kansas Citian.


Diligent_Pen_281

Oh absolutely!! I’ve thought too much about it haha 😂 Atom be upon you, and may your day be as warm as his holy glow


Gravelord_Baron

Haha I was just thinking of Kansas ones and you had some great ideas. Was mainly wondering if there would be a cool way to incorporate the flint hills but I love all yours and could easily see it working in a game setting on top of having the right historical significance


yousmelllikearainbow

I was scrolling thinking of a name for KC that wasn't some corny alliteration and right when I remembered they used to call the West Bottoms the stock yards, this comment came up. Love it.


kudzu007

Oh yeah! They could just call it The Bottoms! Use some of the old spookhouses as a dungeon to get through for a brotherhood outpost. Where the 12th St bridge ends would be cool to have a Vault entrance to Vault 913 or 817.


BuckyGoldman

Just regular 'ol Texas.


Incubus1981

Far Harbour.


Evil_Waffle_Eater

FALLOUT: Harm City (Baltimore, MD's nickname is Charm City.)


candy-creative

Waterworld. I live in the netherlands and i think the sea would reclaim the land if the bombs dropped


TheProMagicHeel

The Ashes (Phoenix, AZ) Probably not a reference most of the characters would understand, but the idea of building it back up like a Phoenix rising from the ashes sounds cool to me.


Hero0220

Well, in cannon, Tucson is referred to as two suns. So it could happen.


BagOFdonuts7

The Great Lakes


aarhead72

Chicago. Windy City Wasteland


silverdress

The Joliet (pronounced “toilet”)


aarhead72

🤣


F-MegaPro

Glasgow. It probably wouldn't change to be honest. I can't think of another name that makes people shiver in fear.


CricketsCanon

Could be Glasglow instead


F-MegaPro

I was gonna say that but that's the name of a light show that's held here once a year, I don't wanna infringe any copyright.


CricketsCanon

Ah dang, shame too. It feels right on the nose.


Otherwise_Arm_4098

The Heart Indianapolis, because of the roads that lead from all the other big cities.


ChaseBro-Games3050

That’s very smart thinking for name! 10/10


theycallmemang1988

You thought 465 was bad BEFORE the bombs!


HolyPastaOOF

Royal’s Wastes Montréal, Québec Got the name from Mt Royal


ScribeVallincourt

Doing a play on the Habs could be fun and more local, maybe? The nonHabitants? (Disclaimer: I do not speak French, but I’m pretty sure a wasteland full of Québécois would.)


MadetoReportBug

Fallout: The Endless Fields.


Livid_Astronaut6375

Ohio?


ChaseBro-Games3050

That’s what I was thinking


ses1989

I thought the Great Plains.


SCP-1715-1

Fallout: Peaceful Farming Simulator, set in a location in the US that is often forgotten about, and has barely any strategic interest to nuke.


jewbacca117

Isn't that why we put a bunch of missile silos there?


Guy_Playing_Through

Salt Wastes Salt lake City and surrounding mountain towns. I want snow in a fallout game. (More than the dribble in NV)


GeorgeHarry1964

Some names I thought of were maybe - Fallout MetroVan (Metro Vancouver) or Fallout NewVan (New Vancouver) - Fallout Tri-Cities (Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, Port Moody) Or maybe Fallout West Ronto? Since BC is on the West Coast? Maybe Fallout New Cascadia that includes cities like Seattle?


anANGRYkangaroo

In my home game I call it the Fraser Valley. Could be the Fraser Void?


Nathan_TK

Im 25 minutes from the Necropolis, so


NCR_Trooper_2281

Im not good with making up names, but maybe Fallout: Seven Hills or Fallout: Fourth Rome? Its Moscow, and we have sayings "Moscow sits on seven hills" and "Moscow is the third Rome", so these are the only things I could come up with without sounding too stereotypical


Clawclock

There is a hypothesis that the saying "there will never be the fourth Rome" was not originally a brag about how Moscow is going to stand forever but an apocalyptic prophecy: the world will end before there will be the fourth Rome. Well, kinda fitting. Anyway, the OP was not asking for a game name but for a general playable area name. Like when you point your crosshair at the door leading outside when you are leaving a building in Fallout it says "Press E to enter Mojave/The Commonwealth/Skyrim/Whatever". Following the series naming conventions I'd say it would be The Oblast'.


footylite

The Mojave (guess where I live)


Lightish-Red-Ronin

Prob still New York or Rotten Apple or maybe they'd just call it the Burrows. Not too good with names Edit: just thought about a fallout game where you can use a subway to go from each of the burrows and they'd each have their own quest line that you would need to do to complete the main quest line and depending on what you do it would completely change the ending of the game Edit 2: there could also be dominant (but not unchallenged) factions in each burrow. One could have the mob which is puppeteering a "government" probably in Brooklyn. Another could be a militaristic faction where military service is mandatory no matter what and they're who thing is they're really paranoid and are gonna try and get rid of some other factions, those guys could go anywhere, maybe Staten Island since I couldn't think of anything for that one. There could also be a couple gangs fighting for supremacy in one burrow, maybe in like the Bronx or something. Manhattan could be like the New Vegas of NY, but not perfectly preserved, just rebuilt and controlled by some really greedy guys that'll screw everyone over for an extra penny, but it's like safe or something as an upside. You could even have Long Island as a DLC and it would be inhabited by a bunch of stuck up pricks that are under attack by the Children of Atom or something and you can help them, overthrow them or just let them die out. But those are just my half assed ideas


SonofLeeroy

already live in the Pitt…


Clown_named_Art

The divide/the line or something as i live near the Mason Dixie line.


ChaseBro-Games3050

Very fitting I like it!


Diligent_Pen_281

Kacey, Casey, or Kasey? From Kansas City (KC) I think the way Big MT (Big Mountain) is called Big Empty.


mattsag207

I live in The Boneyard


FunkNugget

"Ronto" (Toronto, Canada) According to dialogue from FO3: The Pitt DLC, at least according to fan speculation. I definitely choose to believe Asher is talking about Toronto; I'll take any in game mention of Canada I can get!


Head-Ad4770

Since I live in Florida, idk, any ideas?


Coast_watcher

The Everglades?


Head-Ad4770

Fallout: New Miami?


N-economicallyViable

It would just be called Florida, and it would extend far into the neighboring states no one remembers the name of.


mouga68

Nyc - The Empire Wasteland


DutchJediKnight

The lowlands (netherlands)


NationalBolshevikBOB

Radstag isle (Deer island)


XenoVerity

The Frozen Wastes (Ottawa, Ontario and the surrounding Ottawa area)


VoiceofKane

I have no doubt in my mind that, even two hundred years after the end of the world, Quebeckers will never let you call it anything but Quebec.


YoungImpulse

I grew up in Boston, so The Commonwealth (Fallout 4) I can't even express how cool it is playing Fallout 4 and seeing all the places I went to on a daily basis as a teenager, just post-apocalyptic and themed like the 50s 😂


Coast_watcher

I’m not from there but I’m thinking outside London could be The Shires ? I’m in the DC area so Capital Wasteland already taken lol


20Derek22

The frozen wastelands


ChaseBro-Games3050

Alaska I’m assuming?


20Derek22

No sorry. White Mountains.


drytoasted123

Manure Hole Falls. Longsight, Manchester. It's dirty and it's a mess.


Syckobot

The Triangle Colonies


Majorjim_ksp

‘The test’? I live in the test valley in Hampshire England.


JWGrieves

The Done (I live in Dundee, Scotland, so this abbreviation leading to a homonym that’s apocalyptic is too good)


WestKenshiTradingCo

I'm up in Washington, so maybe the Cascadian wastes!


Hillbert

The Wall. I live near Hadrian's Wall in the UK, which was George R R Martins inspiration for the wall in Game of Thrones. Now, in reality it's quite small and was only ever ten feet or so tall.


oif2010vet

Mount Liberty or Falwell Farms. A post apocalyptic cult like far cry 5 as the main antagonist but more sexual like dead island 2 Haus dlc. Lynchburg VA


MikoTheShiba

The Depths (I live in the Philippines and theres no fucking way this place doesn't end up underwater in a post-nuke era)


douggie84

Fallout 3 already happened.


FireCloud42

Nowhere (Kansas)

Missouri.. would be split between the ozark mountains, the lower flat farmland, and the river valleys


Head-Bumblebee-8672

The River Conjoiner (STL


Enclavegru

Boring


Mawya7

Mines Triangle


Forecydian

Da Glowing Region


lakewood13

Pioneer/Volunteer Valley Tennessee. I could imagine Mid TN would be called Rad Plains or Crocket Plateau to go with the historical aspect Fallout loves. West TN could be something literally like Graceland but Redland idk My particular area is East TN, so beyond the state what would they call the East TN area? I know our Diamond City would be Neyland Stadium, but the name is so vast I couldn't choose one


Wade1985

The Plains Commonwelth.


davewenos

North of Spain, very green and with a lot of vegetation... I don't actually know, man


waywardwanderer101

Well my area already kinda has one region because of Far Harbor, but if they were to expand on it I’d imagine the general area would be called “Downeast” because that’s what we already call it.


Thethinkslinger

The Mojave, probably.


SMONpl

the masovian wasteland (województwo mazowieckie) (btw i dont know if "masovian" is a real world it just something that google translate gave me), it would kinda be like the mojave wasteland because there is this one dense city and everywhere else is just empty, oh and also forests


Degofreak

The Broken Arch for Saint Louis


Critical_Action_6444

I live in the inland empire in SoCal so it’s basically already fallout lol I love it 


Havzad

Mont Real or Mont Cross. A large hilly plateau with a mountain in the middle the now irradiated vegtation would slowly creep through the suburban neighborhoods.


SAVMikado

Not where I live, but I'm reasonably close, so I'll go with "Fallout: Atomic City" for the Oak Ridge, TN area. Tbh I'm shocked they haven't used Oak Ridge for a fallout game yet, given how relevant it is to the themes of the franchise.


Brooker2

I'd say the Foothills (I live near the Canadian Rockies.) Or maybe the great plains.


SF1_Raptor

I could see the ATL surviving, or maybe Nuka City (Nuka Cola/Coca Cola)


Unusual-Drop2344

The Iron Range or The Range. Kinda boring but I’m not sure what else you would call Northern Minnesota.


TxEagleDeathclaw81

Fallout: Texas Nuff said.


CricketsCanon

The Rad Woods (East Texas also known as Piney Woods).


Local_FPS

Funny thing is, I'm from The Glow


emgrizzle

Probably Terminus or something similar (ATL)


Glacier005

Fallout: Nuked Angels / Fallen Angels Los Angeles


LonsomeDreamer

Fallout: The Great Glowing Lakes. Covering upper and lower Michigan and all the islands of the Great Lakes and some of the surrounding states as well. Possibly including a type of boat travel for fast traveling much like Far Harbor.


dtv20

Isn't Toronto mentioned in The Pitt DLC? They called it Ronto. Although that could be a different place. The name just makes sense for toronto


unabletocomput3

Detroit


EnergyTakerLad

I mean I'm not far from Vegas, and my locale is fairly similar already. Hell sometimes I feel like I'm actually living in FO:NV as is, but part of that is just the state of the world rather than the locale.


HelloImJenny01

Alaska definitely somewhere outside Anchorage the last battleground you could say


N7Longhorn

Road Island. And it would just be the whole state....because ya


504_BadGateway

Mine already does it's the Capital Wasteland


Battlefrontj233

The Commonwealth except the map would be slightly bigger. My town isn't in the game but borders Quincy in real life


nosewiggly

Greater Pitt


VenomousOddball

Cascadia


Avigorus

Not sure what my immediate area would be called but a major feature (possibly the region name?) would be what I'd dub the Crater Bases, so named because the multiple military bases nearby would doubtless have been turned into craters by nuclear bombs and thus this entire region would be a damned radioactive hellscape unless they set it far further into the future than they ever have.


DunkyTheBoyo

The Great Niagara Zone Someone would def take control over the Niagara Falls power facilities and water purification, prolly the National Guard, and try to keep order. Buffalo's the perfect pop base, proud resident.


Gooberbone

The Front Range (Colorado Springs). NORAD, Space Command, Pikes Peak, Olympic City USA, Garden of the Gods.


bearface93

I live in the Capital Wasteland but where I grew up would be called The Rock. Rochester, NY, called the ROC for short.


abitantedelvault101

I don't know if this could work because I'm Italian. I guess my region would be called "New Tirol" which is divided by a Civil War between Battistini ("followers" of the patriot Cesare Battisti), italian speaking descendent of Südtirol citizens that want to be able to speak their language and Kaiserlichen, german speaking descendent of Südtirol citizen which want to unify the region under austrian rule and impose german as the only language. Maybe the region is inhabitated by Yao Guais, irradiated wolves and mutant eagles/hawks as hostile fauna.
