Could Fallout survive an urban transition?

What do you guys think? Can Fallout survive going beyond post-apocalyptica, or would it turn into a train wreck? Or are they just going to artificially stretch the next 200 years of game canon into people still rising out of rubble?
 
Well, it wouldn't be Fallout anymore, wouldn't it.
I mean, "Post apocalyptic Role Playing Game", that's what it is.
What would be interesting about the Fallout-world in the year 2400 or something?
The war is gone, the world is being rebuilt, and the "world of tomorrow" look will most likely be gone, too.
/edit: In most parts of the Fallout world, society will collapse into a medieval state. Without knowledge and technology, the still existing technology will fail before people relearn how to maintain, use and produce it.
There might be places of preserved technology, but the rural areas are fucked.
Maybe the Fallout world in 2400 will look like the Lambert version of Beowulf.
Which is actually kinda cool.
 
Yes, Fallout should stay as fallout, it just wouldn't be the same if the game was too much about something else.

I think you're already seeing it with New Vegas, and to some degree there was that in Fallout 2, although it still begs the question why nobody has bothered to clean up any of those old buildings. Bethesda largely brought the crapsack world back with Fallout 3 in the most illogical way imaginable, and frankly I don't know if they'd have the sense to ever progress from that point. For Bethesda, "ruined world" is basically Fallout in a nutshell.

Well the D.C. area was the hardest, so it'll take longer for them to form some sort of Gov't like NCR and set up and form connections between settlements and towns. most of the west coast was desert and barren so not hit as hard
 
Civilization might spread in D.C if there's enough water to go around. True, raiders will be raiders and steal from every other caravan, but if the brotherhood gets more recruits than raiders won't be too much of a problem, clean water spreads, and people can focus a little less on survival and a little more on reconstruction, and people will form settlements in these reconsturcted areas, and since bos controls the water, elder lyons might be recognized as leader of dc. He signs some bills on the destruction of raiders, feral ghouls, super mutants, enclave remnants, etc. and there you go, civilized D.C.

I think that, now with Bethesda owning the Franchise, will just pull the (literal) lorebomb at sometime when they decide that it's not "true grim" anymore. "Hey, wouldnt it be cool if we would have another full scale nuclear war? C'mon, the world gets rebuilt, that gets boring!11"

I fear that that will be the case.
Something like BOMB001 firing, or loads of those satellites from Broken Steel, destroying settlements again.
 
I think a gunsling-esque scenario would be the best: A frontier-style world with remnants of the old world rotting away. Like it seems western with small farming villages using their own hand-built tools. But you'll also find relics such as a robot or instead of filling a bandit full of holes with your relvor, you disintegrate him with a plasma weapon you found in an ancient ruin.
 
Oh, come on. I'm sure when you started out you posted a lot too.
 
Well, if i'm becoming a burden, i guess I could cut back on posting,
 
Oh, wow. I didn't even notice those 7 posts. That would explain why my computer errored.
