☣ Setting FAQ ☣

Looking for more detail on Fallout? Try the Fallout Wiki for the games first! Questions specifically for this forum's setting need to be asked here.

Q: Can I join if I don't know much about Fallout?
A: Of course you can! This game is basically just post-apocalyptic, which won't require any special knowledge. The monsters in the Wasteland will be the most similar to Fallout; you can find information on those creatures in the Fallout wiki linked above, or check out this post about them here.

Q: Will we be following the Fallout storyline?
A: No. Instead of that, we're taking Hetalia and adding Fallout elements to the post-apocalyptic world. That means that the technology and plot will be different, but the creatures, plants, some types of food, and the general living conditions are all as they are in the Fallout games. If in doubt, feel free to ask us.

Q: Why is the technology different? I want nuclear-powered robots!
A: This is because Fallout canon diverges from the real world in terms of how technology evolved. Instead of focusing on miniaturization, Fallout focused on nuclear power and creating that crazy 50s sci-fi tech. Sorry, you can probably have one or two robots, but they won't be everywhere.

Q: Do the same locations and factions that exist in the Fallout series also exist here?
A: Only if the players want them to! Since the Fallout games took place primarily within America, whether or not the DC Wasteland, New Vegas, and other locations exist will be up to our America player. However, if there's a forum subsection for it, then it does exist.

You can find information on the various factions created for this game here. The factions are mod-established, but all other nations are also welcome to make up towns and smaller factions.

(The other questions asked in the original FAQ never really reached a general consensus, so if/when they get sorted out, I'll add them to this post.)
