Hahaha no no it makes sense don't worry.

I mean if a film, games, book, TV show, whatever binds its story to a specific setting and then has a what if scenarios like a post nuclear society trying to rebuild itself then sure it can matter to the potential audience. Though it's more to do with how well incorporated those elements are and how key the might be to the characters motivations. Mad Max for example kind of runs with where we are now rather than where we have been and what has happened. Miller could throw some token winks and nudges to the audience to try and place the setting but would it really add to the setting? Probably not but it's hard to say when an attachment to the series has already been formed.

I get what you're saying regards to games and those using the setting for world building purposes. An AssCreed would just not be the same if it was set in a generick, no name european city. The history, the landmarks, the architecture all of these are kind of like characters in thier own right. You could and you can do a post apocalyptic setting in a generalised setting but the idea of my hypothetical questions I threw out there is that it can work either way (based on a generalised setting or a historical one) but you have to make it matter and not just for set dressing.

oh yea you're absolutely right about that, tho i think it pretty much always matters, to different degrees.

fallout has always been a post-post-apoc setting in that it's not about surviving the apocalypse, it's about the rebuilding that happens much later on, which is ppl in fallout 1, 2 and new vegas don't talk like they're from the 50s. they're not talking of the reds or thinking the war is still going on, they're just living their own life a million years after the bombs.

but it's still important to fallout's identity to be set in america, it's one of the reasons slavery and expansionism are such big themes in the series

To be honest it is not impossible. People are rebuilding society based on period they lived previously. It would take years until all major damages to heal (nuclear winter, ozone layer to heal...) so if first people go back to surface after 150 years for example world state when payer comes out would be more-less like it is presented in Fallout.

the problem is that the bombs in the fallout universe weren't dropped in the 50s. bombs were dropped in freaking 2077, for as much beth wants you to believe that the world stuck in time statis for 200 years and then had nukes dropped and waited 200 years and rebuilt in the exact same way that's just unimaginative and dumb

It was just Shower with your dad Simulator 2015.

I really did it because I wanted it gone and because everyone would just say it's Bad Rats and be completely wrong.

I just wanted to do a giveaway for once. Sorry for the chaos that ensued by others.

I dislike the premise of mystery giveaways.

I can't enter them because I don't know if I already have the game, thereby stealing it from someone who deserves it, or it might be a game I wouldn't like, thereby stealing it from someone who appreciates it more.

I apologize. I would have done a normal giveaway but, I don't think anyone would have taken it otherwise. Just wanted the first giveaway I ever to do to be a little fun, I wasn't expecting this though.
