Since its inception, the Fallout franchise has been synonymous with retro-futurist Americana from the mid-20th century. But modders like the talented team behind Fallout: Nuevo Mexico are changing that. 🌮🎉

In addition to the highly anticipated Fallout 4 mod, Fallout: London, which will transport players across the pond, Nuevo Mexico takes the familiar imagery of Ghouls and Mutants to the American Southwest and Mexico. Let’s dive deeper into why setting the game in this unique location brings a refreshing twist to the franchise. 💥

Creating Mexico in Fallout: Embracing the Border Wastes

The name Nuevo Mexico carries a deeper meaning, as the game explores the Four Corners Commonwealth, including the state of New Mexico, in Fallout’s future. However, it also delves into the story of post-Great War Mexico, just as New Vegas examined the ruins of Las Vegas. Although there isn’t much existing lore about Mexico in the Fallout universe, the team behind Nuevo Mexico managed to find inspiration in various sources.💡

One of the primary sources of knowledge about Mexico in the Fallout universe comes from Raul the Ghoul, a beloved character from Fallout: New Vegas. Raul’s backstory largely takes place in Mexico, describing Mexico City as an irradiated ruin. But the team also drew inspiration from the Van Buren lore and the Fallout Bible, which, while not canonical, provide deeper insights into the Fallout universe. It is believed that the US invaded Mexico during the Resource Wars, with the objective of securing oil reserves. Incorporating this historical event into the game’s narrative creates a fascinating connection between Nuevo Mexico and Fallout lore. 🌎

The Challenges of Mexico Lore in Fallout: Viva La Cartel!

While the team had some ideas about what post-war Mexico might look like, they had to consider the influence of American culture on Mexican society. It is only natural that iconic Fallout products like Nuka-Cola would have a global presence, but what about other lesser-known products and companies? Would they thrive in the American Southwest and Mexico? The answer, as Montana points out, lies in the present-day state of northern Mexico. 🍻

For instance, the team introduces a cartel faction, a major player in the border wastes. However, Montana is tight-lipped about the details to avoid spoilers. The presence of cartels not only adds a layer of realism to the game but also shapes its tone. With a strong cartel leader, players are in for an intense journey through post-apocalypse Mexico. 🌵💣

Creating Mexico in Fallout also presents unique challenges for the modding team. Apart from the scarcity of modders working on assets for Fallout: New Vegas compared to Fallout 4, the team had to ensure authenticity when representing Mexico through art assets. To tackle this obstacle, they collaborated with BDoodles, a talented art director of Mexican descent who has professional industry credits on games like Wasteland 3. Through her expertise, the team managed to capture the unique look and feel of Mexico, immersing players in an authentic Bethesda-like experience. 🎨👩‍🎨

Exciting developments await fans of Fallout: Nuevo Mexico. The team plans to release new story details and trailers throughout 2024, keeping players on the edge of their seats. 🎮📆
