It would be a good satire of capitalist "human nature" arguments and American individualism

Okay, so, for one of my capstones back in college (Yes, i have a degree in game writing, among other things) I did a design Bible for my vision for a Fallout game called Fallout: Great Midwest

One of the factions was the Union of Atomic Workers local 158, who've basically been keeping the majority of southeast Wisconsin up and running with power, clean water and working industry

Just a bunch of blue collar Joe's who watch out for each other and keep everything running

that's awesome, now I'm thinking Appalachia could be a great setting as well, with the climax being the second battle of Blair Mountain

Fallout 76 is set in Appalachia and the story has some decent beats. A conflict between miners and the company that ends with violent suppression of labor features in one plot line, for instance. I think it was handled by a different branch of Beth than the mainline games.

oh wow, I didn't know that! I never played 76

I guess now the only thing that's left is to release a good Fallout game set in Appalachia lol
