The rumored Fallout 3 remake gave me a great opportunity to dive deep into Interplay Van Buren's canceled project, the Fallout 3 that never was.

Why Steph's Canadian identity matters in Fallout Season 2

One of the biggest twists Fallout The 2nd season so far came at the end of the 4th episode. As the new warden of Vault 32, Steph's behavior towards her partner Chet has changed drastically since Season 1, with Chet raising Steph's son almost entirely on his own. During Steph's tense discussion with Vault 32 resident Woody, Chet takes the opportunity to do some snooping and finds Steph's pre-war ID in her drawer. This ID not only proves that she was born before the war, but that she was a natural born Canadian citizen before she came to the US and joined Vault-Tec.

Canada did not play a major role in this Fallout TV show or any of the main games to date, but she's quietly been a key player in the larger lore of the franchise. The US began the process of annexing Canada in 2059 to protect the natural resources it contained during the resource wars, bringing it fully under US control in 2072. With Canada in control, the US was able to establish Anchorage, Alaska as a key forward position for Canadian territory.

The Canadian setting would be the first series for Fallout

Despite Canada's importance to the Great War timeline and the dropping of bombs, this location has never appeared in any Fallout game or TV show. as such Fallout 5 taking place in Canada would be a major first for the series, especially since the franchise has never ventured outside of its original US territory. However, with a key character like Vault 32's Steph Fallout A TV show with ties to Canada may be set for another video game entry to finally bring the territory into the fold.

The most likely Canadian setting for Fallout 5

• Ontario

• British Columbia/Yukon Territory

Although Canada is geographically larger than the US, there are really only two locations that would make sense Fallout settings. The first would be Ontario, around the Great Lakes Wasteland, as Toronto is Canada's largest city and would probably have the most interesting environmental features between the city and nearby Lakes Ontario, Erie and Niagra Falls. The larger Great Lakes Wasteland could even represent the Canadian capital of Ottawa, which would be a strategic location for an invading American force to take over during annexation.

Another potential setting would be on the western side of Canada, which could include both British Columbia and the Yukon Territory. Vancouver is Canada's other major city, and the Yukon Territory connects British Columbia to Alaska, making the area a hotbed of destruction caused by FalloutSino-American War. No matter where in Canada and Fallout As the game unfolds, Bethesda will have the opportunity to create a much more lush, snowy forest environment that hasn't actually appeared on any of the franchise's main maps.
