Fallout fans divided over Fallout 5's rumoured setting

Fallout fans have a mixed opinion on where Fallout 5 should be set, believing the Fallout TV series has been teasing it all along.

Bethesda is currently hard at work on The Elder Scrolls VI, which will likely be one of the developer's biggest games yet and finally the sequel to Skyrim we’ve been waiting for.

Take a look at the teaser trailer for The Elder Scrolls VI below

After that though, Fallout 5 is next on the release schedule, and while little is known about the project, fans already have their ideas and theories.

The biggest one by far though is that Fallout 5 will do everything in its power to capitalise on the success of Amazon’s live-action Fallout series, starting with setting the game in California just like the show.

I’m sure Fallout: New Vegas fans just woke up at the thought of California returning, but I still wouldn’t get your hopes up for a Fallout: New Vegas 2, never say never though.

In a Reddit thread by QuicklyCat, it was theorised that the nuking of the capital of the New California Republic in the Fallout series was done in an effort to make a game set there more plausible. After all, a Fallout game set in a reasonably managed society could be “too good” and “could get boring”.

The post went on to explain that the NCR is too big to be wiped out from losing its capital so the game could feature them as a faction as they attempt to rebuild.

Whether this is the plan or not, fans aren’t thrilled with it, with one saying the show’s NCR connections would make for a “worse” setting for Fallout 5, going on to add that “actively showing the fall of the NCR would of been a better setting for a game", as it "would of had far more emotion with it”.

Whether Fallout 5 is set in California or somewhere completely different, what we do know is it’s not coming out anytime soon.
