Middle EastThe Middle East is rather enigmatic in the Fallout Universe. All we know is that there was a war between the Middle East and European Commonwealth which ended when the Middle East ran out of oil. Although it would be cool to see cities like Cairo and Dubhai get the post apocalyptic treatment, what I really want is the Arabian desert milieu. I don't think we see the desert enough in video games in it's most extreme form. Of course, New Vegas and other Western-influenced games have deserts, but those are nothing compared to the vast and undulating hills of sand in the Middle East. One can argue that the Arabian desert is too empty; therefore game developers cannot procure a lot of material from that setting. What if all the people in the cities evacuated and fled to the deserts because of the nukes? I can already imagine the return to nomadism by the people, bereft of their technology, bringing about an epoch of Bedouin life once more. There will be wandering bandits, odd and mutated desert creatures (here's where radscorpions will shine), countless tent settlements and lots of camels. The Arabian desert may seem far-fetched since the series has solely remained in America, but if Bethesda truly wanted to catch us off guard, I think it would a terrific location.
