I'm still waiting for Radiation Suit Larry, the spin-off where you try to pick up prostitutes in New Reno only to fail miserably just as you thought you were about to score.

Honestly now, I'm all for this sequel. Let's just shoot the dog already.

When I heard the title of the game I literally just said to myself "oh jesus no."

Very much so. BoS is an uncreative solution to every problem - guys with lots of technology that goes boom, who can be used both as big bads and the ultimate do-gooders.
You need to give the player a motivation? BoS sent you on a mission!
Want the player to have a formidable enemy? BoS is pissed!
BoS and the Super Mutants are overused, because they're the easy way out when plotting quests.
It was a smart decision not to use them too much in FO2, although the Enclave was pretty much BoS after FO1's evil ending.
I do find the ideas for enemies and locations intriguing, though.

I wouldn't mind a Fallout that took place outside the US. My Canadian heart always wanted to have a Fallout game where you got to play in Canada, trying to overthrow the American invaders after the bombs fall. Also, it could be set in winter so the colour pallette could have been expanded past brown.
Fallout eXtreme (I always hated the late 90s obsession with "EXTREME!!") sounds brutal, though.

I agree. As strange it sounds but I would not mind in a Fallout game to see the world of what China was or is in the world of Fallout 200 years after and before the great war. I mean what kind of ideas had China about the future in the 50s and 60s ? I think there is a lot of potential. To visit such a location in Fallout might be eventualy to much but maybe hiden messages, pictures, videos.Tagaziel said:

Why would that be relevant? Fallout is US retro-50s, not "retro-50s specifically adapted per country". It's why it can only really be set in the US.

This FOX thing's not going to catch on, man. Give in!
Here's the gameplay information:

Some of it was actually pretty cool.
That's mainly because we've only seen the US side of things. But I don't think making e.g. Russia based on Soviet 1950s retrofuturism would be out of place in the setting. And it's not as if there was one unified vision of the future in the US and one unified vision of the future in the Soviet Union etc. and they did not influence each other in any way.
That said, I doubt that the makers of FOX even thought about making it retrofuturistic.

Within the backstory the war was international, but almost everything about the setting is grounded in '50s Americana. If you start exploring other nations then you lose that feel and you lose something that was a big part of Fallout.jero cvmi said:
