Beginning of the game “Take him to Detroit” “NOOO, NO NOT DETROIT”

I don’t think anything would change, just a average Tuesday afternoon.

As someone from Flint, I think the ghoulification from the water is just brilliant and even funny

What you missed: - Motor City, not Motor Town - Detroit's Highways are sunk into the ground, a unique design you don't see in many areas of the US. - The Diego Rivera Murals are located in a massive art museum which could be used as a citidel or a stronghold for this religion. - Greektown, not Greek street - Zug Island could play a part for a rader stronghold or some sort of legendary creature due to it's history of being a very polluted site. - You mention Cedar Point, but their was a much closer amusement park called "Bobilo Island" adjacent to Annesburg Ontario. This was actually on an island in the Detroit River just a bit north of Lake Erie called Bois Blanc Island. - University of Michigan is just University of Michigan, Ann Arbor is just the city it's located in. - Mackinac Island and the nearby Mackinac Bridge would be a great DLC spot. The bridge Specifically would make an excellent location to visit and an excellent stronghold as well as the Grand Hotel in the Island. - Battle Creek was home to a sanatarium which was founded by the founder of Kellogg's cereal. This place was active till the 1940's and while it never had any major scandals (as far as I'm aware) you could twist this location's history.

As far as the lack of iconic landmarks, I think it'd be funny to see a raider faction who turned the "Fist of Joe Louis" Monument into a large battering ram.

We definitely wouldn't have gotten a post-collapse Detroit that was hit by the bombs. The fallout universe hit its peak contemporary to Detroit. Detroit in the fallout universe would not have fallen to the same ruin as it did in our timeline because of the direction the economy and geopolitics went. It would have remained a crucial industrial artery for the country.

As a michigander there is so much potential for a fallout in Detroit. It really just comes down to how creative the writers are.

Alaska would be interesting location for a Fallout game, its would be a completely new climate, it would allow for pre-war lore relating to the Anchorage Campaign and the annexation of Canada to be explored more directly and the location would perfectly justify DLCs that takes us into British Columbia - Canada, and Chukotka - Russia allowing us to explore post-war regions outside of the USA.

Considering that Detroit has historically been an industrial juggernaut especially during wartime, imagine what it could be leading up to the great war. You could even completely reverse its reputation and turn it into a successful post war city state with industrial themes and mechanized warfare. A potential contender alongside the NCR, New Vegas, BoS, Enclave, and the Institute.

Detroit has a lot of advantages. Heavily industrialized, lots of landmarks. Good opportunity for lore. Better yet, it's a bridge and tunnel away from Windsor, Canada, and with the Fallout lore annexation of Canada, a great chance to deep dive into the story there. Also, having a raider style bridge fortress on the bridge would be awesome.

Your idea of Viking pirates got me thinking of the Minnesota football team - and the fact that the Great Lakes all connect to each other. A forward base by people using Viking gear from the football team mixed with historical viking gear, using Boblo (bois blanc) island as a staging area would be fantastic. Even more amusing would be a confusion between "Viking" and "Biking" - that they showed up with a grudge against automobiles.

Even though Detroit gets clowned on nowadays, I still think it would be dope as hell to have a Fallout game take place in Detroit, mostly because I live in Michigan and I've walked around in a lot of downtown Detroit, specifically the center but also Mexican Town

A note about the sports teams in Detroit: All of the major sports teams currently have their sports arenas inside the city limits. Lions at Ford Field, Tigers at Comerica Park, and the Red Wings and Pistons at the Little Caesar's Arena. I'm pretty sure they're all within a mile of each other. They're all pretty big, and are all covered in the iconography of their respective teams. These could each be faction hubs, or specific raider headquarters.

Detroit gets a bad wrap. Hell, all Rust Belt cities do. I'm from Buffalo and I'm seeing a pattern with Rust Belt cities lately. They seem to be recovering from the economic collapse of the 70s and 80s. I've seen the Detroit revitalization project and they're doing a great job. Same thing with Buffalo.

Note from a local on the Canadian side. Bell island had a Nike ajak missle site with the control and radar sites on the Detroit water front. This area was heavily defend in the 50s and up until the 70s when Icmb became a threat over bombers. Must have bell island missle base included.

I think Marquette or Houghton in the upper peninsula would be interesting DLC locations. If there were any post war industry, they would probably try to revive old copper and iron mines. There is even the Quincy Mine that is preserved as a museum.

As someone who lives near and works in Detroit I think it’d be an awesome spot for a Fallout game and the best part is the dev team wouldn’t have to make it look any worse than it already is

Michigan native, with some additions: For unique demographics/cultures, Dearborn (just west of Detroit) has a huge Arabic population. Some of that could play to the unfortunate stereotype, with others just trying for a "normal" life. Dearborn is also Ford's global HQ, and has a couple points of interest in the Henry Ford museum and Fair Lane, the Fords' home turned museum. Depending on the size of the map, you could include Toledo to the south. I could very easily imagine people in Fallout times misinterpreting some old documents or monuments, and carrying on the Michigan/Ohio border war from the 1830's. In modern Detroit, those sports arenas are in VERY close proximity. Literal neighbors, in some cases. Though that is a somewhat recent development. Going with the 50s/60s aesthetic might put them in different places, including out in the suburbs. Considering the amount of wartime production that came out of Detroit, I imagine it would have remained a large and important city in the Fallout timeline. I could easily see military remnant factions present. One addition to the Windsor/Detroit interaction: There is another way to cross the river. In winter, it can freeze over. In the prohibition era, this was a MAJOR bootlegging thoroughfare. Perhaps they could add seasons to the game, making it easier to access the Canadian part of the map at times.

As someone whos actually from Michigan this video was absolutely AMAZING and ive been preaching for detroit as a fallout game for ages!!! thanks for making this i loved it im now off to make sure my porch doesnt get stolen😂

I also really want to see New York City in Fallout also where there is also a good Mafia and Noir background alongside with the music and massive skyscrapers all knocked down and half standing. Not to even mention there are 3 major airports around the city. I know rendering an entire city let alone 3 airports also is a lot but I'd love to see an Enclave base at LaGuardia Airport or something like that. New York City could also be a good place for either the Lone Wanderer or the Sole Survivor to reside.

I always thought New Orleans would make a great fallout. There are lots of new good crafting recipes with Cajun food, some casinos, and a lot of landmarks. And the massive potential of the bayou and a water-based transportation system for settlements and connections. I'd love an analysis like this on the possibility

I feel like it would be Mad Max heaven. You could mod and "pimp" your ride. Have Twisted Metal style battles with raiders. Roleplay Carnegie and found an empire of steel in the Detroit forges and factories. Maybe join a pure water cult trying to return the Great Lakes. Lots of possibilities.

I think Chicago would be really cool, and that could be a good way to explore all the other locations in the Midwest and Canada and the Great Lakes; Chicago is a way bigger prize to control for any factions, and there’s also history of the Manhattan Project being active there for some extra lore

As a person in Minneapolis I'd like to see one set here just because of the twin cities I feel like that could create some good stories maybe two vaults who want control something like the ncr but on a much smaller scale and with the Mississippi having the potential for power it could be a good parallel

I bet you would find a pipegun with a switch on it lmao

A note about the highways in Detroit: None of them are currently elevated. All of them are channels cut into the ground. A potential interesting way to take the Detroit cityscape would be flooded freeways and boats with recycled automotive motors. This could also lead to an avenue to Canada, as the Ambassador Bridge, Detroit River Tunnel, and Gordie Howe Bridge (currently under construction) would likely be defunct after a couple hundred years.

The Highway act is an exceptional point that I’ve yet to hear anyone bring up, and it would be a perfect fit for the Fallout world. On top of that, though this is more on brand for the Obsidian team than the Bethesda team, Fallout has a history of referencing the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and seeing as a pretty important thing that happens in that book is the protagonist’s house being demolished to put in a new highway, and Earth being demolished to build a new space highway, that’s just ripe for fun references.

Literally had this idea. With the antagonists being decendents of survivors of the naval base near there trying to reclaim an automotive factory that was converted to power armor production.

I've got to say, I'd love to see you turn this into a potential series, going over various different possible locations for the next Fallout game. With so much time between now and the eventual release, there's so much room and potential for speculation

A note about potential nearby locations that would have been affected by the war/post war: Dearborn. It's the current headquarters of the Ford Motor Company. It houses major manufacturing, engineering, testing, and housing for the automotive industry, so it would possibly be a target of nuclear strikes. It has two local landmarks, the Henry Ford Museum, and Greenfield Village. The Henry Ford museum is a massive sprawling monument to the early 1900's and the expansion of industrialization and assembly line technology. Greenfield Village is a period park of the early 1900's, and could potentially be populated by neo-amish individuals using the park as a blueprint to build their way of life on. Another odd note about Dearborn, it has the highest Arab population density outside of the Middle East. Not sure how that could affect a post-war fallout world, but it could certainly add a little spice.

I think Detroit presents a lot of opportunities for series firsts. You mentioned cars, which would be cool. You also mentioned snow, which I would absolutely love. I could see there being a DLC location deep into the UP that has been plunged into a never ending winter (insert nuclear winter jokes here) and it requires you to either upgrade your existing armor, or get new locally sourced armor that protects you from the cold and snow blindness ect. With how crazy the weather is in Michigan though, they could just make snow one of the weather events. The temperature sweeps this time of year can result in snowfall overnight followed by short sleeve temps in the afternoon lol. Having actual changing seasons in a main game would be kinda cool to see as well though. Another good oportunity I think Detroit provides is a more realistic scale. Any game that takes place in massive spraling cities is always drastically and noticeably downscailed. But Detroit isn't that big. You said it yourself, there's only a few sky scrapers. So depending when this game came out and the hardware it has to work with, they could probably get the scale of the city pretty accurate. Lastly, you mentioned Selfridge briefly, but honestly I think that would be a bigger target than the manufacturing facilities. I'd imagine in game it would be a massive strategic bomber air base. I feel like if there was going to be a part of the map that is a glowing sea style crater, it would probably be Selfridge, which would work since it's not exactly close to Detroit. There is still the DTW Airport if you wanted to include that kind of landmark too though. Oh, and having a location where the 2 waring factions are based around Kelloggs and Post would be absolutely hilarious. It could be either full on cults who misunderstood what the companies were pre-war, or less silly that could still be manufacturing dry goods and are fighting the be the dominant supplier to the area.

I always thought that the big colleges would make good raiding factions. The wolverines vs Spartans. Spartans wear green and white colored armor while the wolverines wear blue and yellow (maybe vault tech inspired). I also Personally saw the upper peninsula as a glowing sea location that might house bosses on a similar level to the scorched queen.

I love how much research you've done on Detroit and SE Michigan for this video. As a Michigander, I approve.

The Motor City would be interesting because I don't think the motor companies would have left

It would be interesting to see different factions try to maintain control of the 'highway system', similar to Hoover Dam

I commend you on the research, although can' t wait for more of these location dives.

Definitely make this an ongoing series. I'd love to see your take on New Orleans as a future fallout location. Beautiful city with a long history and massive potential for dlc locations nearby.

A potential location of interest in a Cleveland DLC would be the Cargill Salt Mine. Massive mine about 1700 ft. beneath Lake Erie just off of downtown Cleveland. Could make for a perilous dungeon crawl through the rooms of the mine and flooded corridors. Perhaps fluff it as one of Dunwich Borers many enterprises, and lean heavily into the Lovecraftian influences. Salt itself also reacts strongly to radiation and Lake Erie is well known for its shipwrecks, ghosts, and ufo sightings, all things Fallout enjoys playing with.

This was an awesome video! Plz make it an ongoing series. It would be cool to see places like Chicago, Houston or Seattle furthered in the next fallout game.

Okay, you've convinced me. The Joe Louis Arena, Ford Field, and Comerica Park would be awesome settings in a Fallout game. Thing is, you'd have to get into the suburbs for most of the good stuff. You'd need a DLC in Windsor, for instance. The boss would have to be based out of Dearborn, or possibly Auburn Hills or Pontiac for the sake of the Palace and the Silverdome. There is no way that the Brotherhood of Steel would allow the River Rouge plant to stand alone, for instance.

As a born Yooper(someone from the Upper Peninsula) I do enjoy the call out. There are a couple of things that I had thought of. The Mackinaw straight as a DLC location. Once again calling heavy on the water as a means of transportation. Mackinaw Island with all the famous locations there(the Fort and the Grand Hotel to name a few) You also have the Mackinaw Bridge there as well having been completed in 57, one of the longest suspension bridges in the world. Another thing to consider in there is the "animosity" between Yoopers and Trolls(those Michiganders who live below the bridge). While today this is more akin to Far Harbors view of Mainlanders, it could be much more hostile in the future. There have been on several occasions a movement, including legislation, for the U.P. to become a separate state edit: Also being up north would make the possibility of snow littered map, Similar to parts of Skyrim

I LOVE the idea of having a quest that unlocks more songs! What a great idea

I love how everyone is chipping in on what neat locations would make for a good world space and potential DLC areas. Devs need to take note on community discussions like this, it's a treasure trove of good ideas that can be forged into a solid core.

You should totally do this for a Toronto (or Ronto) stand-alone fallout game. Has a lot of big landmarks like the CN tower, Rogars Center, Saint Lawrence markets, Casa Loma and more. As a big bonus we got the Toronto islands which has an small airport so could lend to some interesting factions. Also not forgetting Pearson International. Could lead to some interesting pre war lore as Ronto would have been one of the first places the U.S. would invade during the annexation due to being the largest city in Canada so could have similar plot points to Windsor. In terms of DLC could lend to similar idea like Niagara Falls, but could also explore Ottawa and maybe even a DLC where you travel up the St Lawrence river stoping in places like Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City with Quebec City having a great setpiece with the massive Fairmont Le Château Frontenac acting as a great operating base for a faction due to its history of being very defendable. Just a few idea and if you haven’t caught on I may be a resident of Toronto

I’m actually working on my own Fallout setting to take place in my home state of Colorado, which I’ll be making into a series of videos as my own theoretical Fallout game. Colorado has a ludicrous amount of military bases, forts, and other government facilities, including Cheyenne Mountain (which houses NORAD), the Air Force Academy, and so much more. The potential for military secrets, special weapons, and more is off the charts. Nikola Tesla used to live in Colorado Springs, which still houses the Tesla museum. The potential of a secret Tesla lab for some crazy SCIENCE!!! shenanigans is very high. Denver canonically was the research capital of the country regarding the New Plague and developed the early designs of what would eventually become FEV before that research was moved to WestTek and Mariposa in California. Denver and Boulder were given huge facilities by the government in the last decade before the Great War. Denver also invented cyberdogs, and has a lot of technology fabrication in universe! Portions of Colorado were under Legion rule prior to the second Battle of Hoover Dam. We could see how the Legion has fractured since the loss of Caesar and Legate Lanius to keep them in line. In fact one of their tribes, the Hangdogs, originally hailed from Denver! There’s a lot more but I don’t want to tip my hand. I think there’s a LOT of potential for Colorado and I’d enjoy seeing RadKing’s own research and take on the area for game viability.

Love the video. As for what cities /state you should do videos on next I will list the following. -Indianapolis -Chicago -Alaska -North Dakota (A third of the worlds nuclear weapons are stored at Minot airforce base North Dakota it would also be nice to see some airforce bases) -New York -Pennsylvania (Raven Rock Mountain is in Pennsylvania and is called the underground pentagon) -Colorado (would provide a lot of information on the Great War as NORAD is based there)

This is a great series!! Thank you for this.

I definitely want to explore the map you have created! This sounds awesome

Definitely make this a series. A one set in Texas would be great

Also, FYI they are undoing the highways here, 375 is already in the process of being destroyed to reconnect those old ghettos. Also there is the Detroit arsenal for the military stuff. The biggest issue though is that Detroit is heavily boarded by farmland so the map would be extremely empty unless your limit it to Detroit itself or expanded to go as far as Selfridge or camp grayling. We don’t have hills so they can’t rely on vertical mapping.

Detroiter here, don't forget the salt mines, the Train station, the Greyhound complex, COBO Hall, and the adjoining Joe Louis Arena, the DIA, Hart Plaza, and besides Motown, Detroit is the birthplace of Techno and is a mainstay in the electronic music scene.

Highways in Detroit are dug into the ground and are basically waterless canals if the they were to be used they would be a way to break up the map and raider gangs would likely control the crossing points because the pits are filled with toxic sludge or basically a kill zone for anyone trying to cross

I would really love a Fallout: Lake Erie. That’s split between Buffalo, Cleveland, and Detroit. And islands out in the lake off Sandusky or something. All connected from some steel monorail built by settlers post war

The area around the Mackinac brigade would make a great location DLC with it there being several famous landmarks around that area such as The before mentioned Mackinac brigade, Mackinac Island, and Colonial Michilimackinac just to name a few.

Such great work like always man, I love your videos. It would be cool to see a video on my home town, Phoenix, Arizona. I th8nk it would be similar to new Vegas, but way different.

First time commenting, I've been listening to your videos for almost a month now and I have to say your videos are very informative and I like listening to what all you find and everything. As far as a new place what about Chicago? It's a huge transportation hub and has several places you could use for different things. Also the historical aspect of the city is another aspect you could use. There are several museums you could explore and different neighborhoods as well, it would also be heavily nuked because of the importance of the city to the lakes and transportation with all the trains and subways the city has. I live 6 hours south and visit quite often so I have lots of ideas also there is a place that several people I know have gone to and it's the blind school there so it could be remade as teaching life skills to ghouls or something. Thanks for reading this far if you have!

I always thought Denver as a sequel to FNV in collapsing legion territory would be cool, but Detroit does sound like a cool idea.

I kinda of want to see a fallout take place in Denver and use some of the info from Van Buren

We really need more of this. Please!

Cleveland's DLC can have a mission to set the river on fire and iinclude music-based weapons. There's also a national park right there, the metro area is actually still heavily wooded.

There could be really interesting biomes and creatures in Hawaii. You could have boats and sailing like in The Wing Waker. Lots of interesting locations like Pearl Harbor, sunken ships, hotels, and oil rigs. You could use criuse liners and transport ships as explorable ghost ships or mobile towns. You could have underwater exploration with dive bells and dive suits, even underground exploration in the volcanic cave networks under the islands acting like the subways in Fallout 3. Plenty of interesting factions from the military to natives, decendents of Chinese deserters, shipwrecked communities, and plenty more.

The Raftors- a series of towns along the skyways (lol) that make up one larger society. The skyways go through some buildings (like the one that goes through that hospital in Boston) and the towns are incorporated into there as well. The streets below could be full of rats and raiders as modern day detroit is ofc.

Something that just dawned on me is hockey is SUPER popular in Michigan, which could also lead to implementing hockey sticks as a weapon type and hockey pads as a basis for armor. Vernor's (arguably the first pop) was also invented here, as was the first breakfast cereal via Kellogg's corn flakes, so analogues to those could be implemented there in an interesting way (even though neither was invented in Detroit specifically). Detroit is also the birthplace of Little Caesar's Pizza, which could likewise be used in a ton of interesting ways. A DLC could also have you travel to the Upper Peninsula (or U.P. as we always refer to it here), maybe Marquette as it's the biggest city up there. I mainly think that would be interesting for a few reasons; one: there's notably larger wildlife up there, such as moose, black bears, pikes, salmon, even mountain lions--all of which could make for interesting mutated animals; two: lake superior is so cold that the bodies of people who've died there never surface, which is BEGGING for a Fallout twist--come on, cold, sunken mutants or some sort of lovecraftian prescience there would be amazing; three: it would be the first location in a Fallout game that would lend itself well to an implementation of Sasquatch, who's typically associated with the Pacific Northwest but has a strong cultural prescience in Michigan as well--especially farther north. And since Fallout loves referencing horror movie franchises, Evil Dead is set in Michigan, which is a reference that basically writes itself.

I liked that you included the Fermi plant in Monroe. Some other interesting tidbits in the area that could be interesting locations are the General Custer statue (it was his hometown) and the River Raisin War of 1812 Battlefield. So, there's potential for some historical reenactor types or a Custer's Last Stand situation for some minor group around the actual Custer statue. There's also the old Nike Missile Base just outside of Monroe. There's also the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village just outside of Detroit which is like a recreation of a late 19th century town. The island of Grosse Ille has a reputation as a rich person's place to live, so there's some interesting storylines that could be extrapolated from that. The John K King Rare and Used Book Store could be a quest location. I have to say though that instead of Cleveland, Toledo could be a good alternative for an area to expand into or for DLC.

Back to Tactics? Most of Tactics is in Detroit. Cars? Yep. Scoutcar, schwimmenwagen, hummer, APC, nuke carrier, tank. Also there was gonna be a bus, but it was cancelled. Other vehicles: bicycle, Hellion fighter jet, helicopters (not functional) trucks and cars (not functional) a lot of robots (functional and angry) Unique factions: Reavers, essentially a raider version of the BoS. The BoS has a section of the map under their control. Unique geography: there's snow!

I'm telling you: a Fallout Hawaii game based on the island of Oahu would be the best possible location from every perspective you've listed and even ones you haven't. It's the best happy medium between the familiar and the exotic with plenty of potential to cater to both camps and even combine the two to create something truly unique. I'd love to see you do a deep dive into the concept after doing more research into the Hawaiian islands and the main population center that is Oahu, but in the mean time, where sports are concerned, the football team for Hawaii is literally called the Hawaiian Raiders. I'm telling you, it's a gift wrapped location literally screaming 'Make Me Incredible! Make Me Incredible!'

I absolutely love these videos, and would be thrilled to see you do a take on Fallout: Commonwealths. Each Commonwealth, as described in the canon, and how they'd degenerate. What the interactions would be between the differently focused Commonwealths (or Technats). Stay well and healthy!

DLC Idea: after the main game you and/or the faction you sided with lose a big fight with another major faction and are forced to leave detroit so the dlc centers on the remnants of your faction getting on boats and looking for someone new to live and you end up hopping from city to city all the while losing more and more people and you explore small sections of toledo then cleaveland then erie then up to buffalo and maybe finally finding salvation(with very few survivors) in toronto, i think for once it would be good to actually kind of "lose" the game

This should be a series! I love this idea and you should talk about the advantages and lore for certain cities people talk about. Notable, New Orleans is one people talk about all the time. My personal favorite location would be Saint Louis, but I am admittedly biased

You forgot about one key aspect of fallout games the creatures. What animals are unique or prominent in Detroit/surrounding areas and how if they survived appear/behave? Would they be mutated severely or just enough to become a new species?

I think it would be an interesting idea to allow your character to go over the Niagara Falls in a barrel, perhaps taking pot shots at enemies and wildlife while you flow down into the Falls

I’d love to see this become a series. I’d like to see your take on Denver, Austin or Dallas, and Miami. Denver I think would be most interest. They could do some very fun stuff with the Denver airport and all its conspiracies

Someone who lives in Michigan here: to put Detroit in fallout not much would need to be changed, like seriously

The real question is, how would it improve?

Please continue this series. Very cool

Northeast Ohio had a ton of manufacturing, like Youngstown was one of the biggest cities for steel behind Pittsburgh, and it had a massive mafia presence so it would hit quite a few points that you mentioned being interested in in the video.

Your inventory would be perpetually empty, for as we all know, you can’t have sh*t in Detroit Edit: I see you had to do it to ‘em as well

I'd love Detroit. Might help me not get lost IRL xD Would love to see how Faygo vs Nuka Cola

Man I'd eat iguana bits to see Saint Louis, Missouri in a Fallout game. We've got so many iconic locations from the Gateway Arch, to the Cathedral Basilica, Busch Stadium, the Science Center, the City Museum, Forest Park and all its attractions, Union Station with its massive aquarium, and many more. Not to mention the legacy of classic rock and blues we've got here, having been home to people like Chuck Berry, Tina Turner, and others

I'm from Alaska. The sheer size of this place allows for several distinct biomes. You could have a muskeg area that has some old trapper cabins to loot, maybe do a note based environmental quest about a dog musher who was out in the middle of nowhere on a race when the bombs fell. There are also huge mountains, old military bases/silos dotting the woods also that could easily be vaults. You could also have a in the "Bush" (remote parts of the state that can only be reached by boat or air...sometimes. You could maybe unlock a small bush plane to transport yourself out to the dlc oil field or village.

Rad you already know how I feel about a Detroit fallout, you even mentioned some locations I didn't consider like the historical factories and a dlc breakfast cereal conflict that I thought were perfect. I like the format of the video and dig the idea of it becoming a series. Detroit is my number one pick, but I have some runners up locations that could be fun.

As another DLC idea i feel like it would be cool to go to Chicago, we know it has connections to the midwest brotherhood and has at least one enclave base, while it's not in super close proximity it's not super far either, also as you mention if there's going to be any land vehicles in fallout, Detroit would be a great area to implement it. I could see a scenario where you navigate the ruined roads on some mad max-esque vehicle to get to Chicago, it would be an excellent opportunity to learn more about other enclave sects, the midwestern brotherhood of steel outside fallout tactics and generally know more about the midwest.

Detroit being a nasty road warrior setting with a fallout coat of paint could be really interesting. I really want to see something in the South East, I think a game set along the mississippi river and focusing on a partially sunken New Orleans would be awesome!

There was a proposed Fallout project several years ago for the Pacific Northwest, with locations such as Mount Saint Helens and the city of Seattle. I would love to see Portland or Seattle get some Fallout love. Seattle has iconic landmarks (such as the Space Needle), and a famous "underground city", and it is relatively near the border for the Canadian points in your Detroit video. Plus a waterway that would be perfect for your Viking-style pirate raiders. And a vault built into the Mount Saint Helens volcano could be a good DLC idea. Imagine a Vault-Tec experiment of life inside a (semi)active volcano.

This was so much more in-depth than I expected anyone to go into, I'm sure you've already looked at NYC based on the already-known lore, but what about Baltimore? I know we already had some of MD in FO3, so they would probably would try to spread out a bit more, but what do you think?

Imo, a dense urban environment has still yet to be done properly in Fallout. Detroit, New Orleans, and Texas sound great in concept, but my issue is that Bethesda nor Obsidian have yet to get a good version of a city. 4 was super dense, but barely felt like a city, and more like a dungeon with a sky box. 3 was a joke, with just a bunch of loading screens leading to small cells. And finally FNV had the Strip, and nothing else. Outer Vegas barely felt like anybody actually ever lived there, at any point. I think the best environment for the next Fallout would be New Orleans. It has a lot of culture and is a bit more homey than the monstrous skyscrapers of 4, probably a but less destroyed than 3 and hopefully denser and more detailed than FNV.

In my own fanfiction I always imagined detroit like the more "civilised" brother of the Pitt. In my mind its called Troi (and obv the lads living there are Troians why not) and the city its a cross between New Vegas In the concept art wich all those gigantic concrete walls, mega city 01 and warhammer hive cities, or necromunda direclty and also the industrial london of the 1800. And the idea there to myself its the fact that the old motor and industry families some had their own súper bunkers and after the war they emerge creating a more or less peaceful city state post war fortified settlement (we have to remember that hoover dam had anti air and anti torpedo netting) so maybe the city was fortified the same way before the war. And the idea is that the industries reproduce pre war tech from simple electic bulbs to sherman tanks to nuclear powered battleships (maybe in really less ammount) and it would be a cool mechanic to have something like expeditions to a procedural generated wasteland with only sand and a few buildings here and there and find an almost intact pre war car or tank (maybe even something soviet or chinese) or going to a war museum and give that thech to one of the families in Troi to do reverse engeniering and reproduce that. Would be cool something like Oh is that a soviet IS 3 tank? You: yep Oh ok come back in one week and we will began to reproduce this beauty and you can buy it with a discount of course. And that would be cool for small scale in your settlements but my idea was that The Pitt produce mad max type of tech for raiders or solos while Troi produce military or civilian hardware trough contracts..... and contracts with troi are sacred and its not a good idea to piss them. And would be a cool thing to see on a computer terminal that 400 super shermans are gonna be shipped to shady sands trough armored train (would be nice to see all of this functional and also railroad its basically the history of America). And in resume all of this shit I made on my head its because im tired of always in fallout being on a nuked city then is the scrap made settlement and then there are the baddies, this for example in new vegas doesn't happen and that was my idea. A walled city with the asthetic of the gothic dieselpunk of the classic games where people can have a more or less normal life but everything its covered in smoke and rain, in wich detective roleplaying could happen and also you could discover cool things on the society of the post war.... like for example: Ok those 400 shermans are going to the shady sands so that is ncr, those re engeniered IS 3 to someone called BoS on this contract, 1000 microwaves for the children of atom..... and for some reason this encprited data says that 5 k of X01 helmets and those 2k frames of vb 02 vertibirds for a contractor only called Ms E on Colorado to a place called Cheyenne...... And in resume I always wanted to drive things in fallout and instead of transforming a beautiful car on scrapp metal to carry it to a place that repairs to me or a place in wich will be reproduced and see it working trought the wasteland. Sorry for the ultra long essay as always !

As a native Michigander, I would love this If Ann Arbor is included, I'd imagine my homeland of Monroe would be included with Fermi II, as that's where it is. Maybee too, perhaps. Just because of the name it would be amazing. I would love a stable republic there, even one with, as it makes total sense. The whole county of Monroe is so ignored by Toledo to the south and Detroit to the north, it wouldn't be nuked. We could possibly see proper post-war flora, not just spore creatures and dead trees that just so happen to have leaves. Monroe country, or perhaps the Republic of Monroe, would be such a bountiful society. It would be cool to see pre-war naval ships used by them to fight off pirates and vikings. Additionally, in Mothership Zeta the giant lazer hit nearby Detroit in Canada. This would be the perfect reference.

It’d be awesome if you could do something like this for Baltimore. As a Maryland resident, I’ve always felt super cheated by FO3 sending you to Pittsburg (hundreds of miles from DC) instead of Baltimore (like a 30 minute drive away).

You should do St. Louis next. It would be interesting to see how important it would be as a port for the Missouri and Mississippi River and how large factions from around would fight for control

I love these kinds of videos! Maybe Salt Lake City or El Paso?

This was an extremely well thought out exploration of what a Fallout: Detroit could be. It would be nice to see RadKing's vision realized as an actual game. I hope he does more videos like this featuring locations in the U.S.A. as well as other countries. My suggestions would be for Fallout: Mexico City or Fallout: Orlando.

As a Michigander, specifically from Flint I love this! I feel like someone like Charles Stewart Mott could be a cool character, like he's preserved similar to Mr. House. Is it in Fallout lore that our water is contaminated too or was that a dig to us lol? Also, Mackinac Island would be perfect for a DLC, there's forts and not to mention the Grand Hotel that would make awesome settlements!

Being in Michigan could also be an opportunity to bring the midwestern chapter of the BOS back into the canon and fix some of the lore issues from tactics!

Detroit would be an interesting location. If factories were still intact on any level, I could see them being modified by groups like the BoS, Enclave, and maybe some raider gangs, to make cars and "tanks" like the old mafia cars back in the day. A set of groups who are trying to get boats or planes back online. Trying to reclaim various factories or the like. The islands could be used as defensive locations for mutants or make them valuable for everyone due to resources that could be there. The great lakes having a massive waterworld feel to it would be AMAZING, and we could see pre war water vehicles that were being made to fight against the "Ghost Fleet". With a legendary beast that is a prewar robot set to combat mode, but badly malfunctioning so it doesn't appear too often.

Please make more videos like this. Very interesting

There's a massive salt mine under Detroit that could make for some interesting gameplay options

Hawaii will always be my first choice for a NEW Fallout game. Would be absolutely amazing, like the Morrowind of the franchise. Would love to see a similar video on Hawaii.

we need a series of this please do somewhere in the south next

I think this location has a lot of potential. Plus, RIP to Flint. Lastly, if I were born as a raider in Battle Creek, I'd hope my mother named me Flakes.
