A fallout game with no vaults with NPC's that say "OI BRUV" and using shillings instead of bottle caps sounds weird.
According to the lore wouldn't there be no nukes or irradiated monsters there? Seems like a strange place to set a fallout game, Europe has a lot of implied lore like losing the energy wars and basically going back to the dark ages

Why would there be no nukes? there are nukes in the UK.
Euro-Middle Eastern War Main article: Euro-Middle Eastern War
The European Commonwealth followed the United States' example when it replied to price hikes by oil exporters in the Middle East with military action. Long dependent on oil imports, European military units deployed to the Middle East in April 2052, starting an almost decade-long war for control over the region's oil deposits. The war caused oil prices to skyrocket, bankrupting many smaller nations, and caused the United Nations to implode just three months after the European Commonwealth declared war on the Middle East.[Non-game 3][Non-game 4]
The war would rage on for the next years, with nuclear exchanges that occurred in the Middle East after Tel Aviv's destruction in December 2053 provoking a global nuclear scare and raising fears of global thermonuclear war. The United States government initiated Project Safehouse in order to construct great underground Vaults to protect its population, although the project was rife with embezzlement, corruption, and mismanagement, starting with the method of financing them (junk bonds) and ending with the number of Vaults constructed (just 122, capable of protecting less than a tenth of a percent of the United States' government).[Non-game 5]
The War would come to an end in 2060 when the Middle Eastern oil fields ran dry.[Non-game 6] Both sides were reduced to ruin, with the Commonwealth fragmenting into bickering nation-states, fighting over what resources remained within its reach
