Title: Bully's Setting
Post by: Unknownsoldier on July 07, 2015, 12:59:54 AM
I believe the setting takes place somewhere in Connecticut. I've heard one of the preps or greasers talking about it, and the game DOES say it takes place in a New England boarding school. After all, the state of Connecticut is indeed located in the U.S. New England region.

I picked Rhode Island for the story (next to Connecticut) , specifically a spot along the Narraganset Bay, for the sole reason that the out-flowing river between New Coventry / Blue Skies runs East in that direction.

Good point. And it does sound pretty reasonable.

I studied a lotta maps around Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, & Maine before I picked that spot.
Maine was too far North for the mild Winter depicted in the game....New Hampshire has very little coastline....Massachusetts too crowded....Connecticut has all it's coastline to the South....So I finally settled on a spot in Rhode Island, around coordinates 41.60000, -71.41888.  Wasn't perfect, but it would do.  In actuality, there is a Golf Course and Airport there.

Shame they couldn't have made it a little more obvious, like some of the GTA locations.
What would have been far better is to have had an actual coastline....Or make the spot where the School was located like a tiny island, with the sea to the South.

You seriously thought of everything when you wrote the story!
Like Gary,you planned every single gear to fit correctly.

Well....I kinda had to do some research, yeah.
