Fallout 4 hopes and dreams?

[Halceon]

I hope it doesn't get made. The tale's been told, there's not much to add. Bethesda has already reduced the two greatest powers in the wasteland to gibbering morons, VaultTec has been revealed as way more sinister than we thought, the super mutants have become mindless barbarians. New Vegas did things more right by not using any major factions from previous titles except a small NCR presence.

Don't go anywhere near the bunnies though. Bunnies are scary enough as it is.

The scariest bunnies come from England for sure.

Stay away Bethesda, stay away.

Fallout three continued the general storyline of the first and second one.
mainly coming from the vault and that stuff. But new Vegas was an entirely pointless money maker. had no real story in it, just big stupid American city people want. who cares. fallout 1,2,3 had substance and something deeper then a kiddie pool. nothing in new Vegas mattered to the general universe.
the Mojave wasteland was bland and boring also, capital wasteland, or vault city. great areas, immersed you onto the world of fallout. a big desert with bandits and big bugs? that's not a nuclear fallout in post apocalyptic status. it's Texas on acid...

Why do you think I'm scared of them ;_; They hold us to ransom I tells you.

alright, I'm a big follower if the fallout series, since the first one.
but i enjoy Bethesda's version as well. (i don't consider new vegas a game in the fallout series, because i hated it so much)

But is anyone else excited for fallout 4? i know it will run on the same engine that skyrim is being developed on. but even then, if the developers completely leave that stupid barren piece of shit Mojave wasteland and get back to big city's, a well developed story. plus a chance at bug-less game play. well it's something to be excited about. what do you guys think?

umm, doesn't Fallout New Vegas count as fallout 4? What do you mean? the Mojave wasteland was epically better then the capital wastelands. Also while it would be nice I hope they don't make a new one so soon. if they did it would only turn out for the worst. Good games need a lot of development and if they were to throw a new fallout every few years they would degrade and become a cash cow. Bethesda isnt like that....yet.

It would be nice to have the old fallout 1 & 2 way to move between places back (on a map)
then we could have a great story that's not just tied to one city again

but what I'd like most is if story and the way to influence the world go back to fallout 2 which had done these 2 things sublimely

 

[Lost In The Void]

My one hope and dream for Fallout 4 is for it to be developed by Obsidian. Fallout 3 was equal parts short, easy, and unengaging.

Yes we all remember how well Obsidian did with New Vegas......

Quite well indeed, having just finished my 5th playthrough. I'm glad we agree.

 

[The Mehster]

I think we should have a choice between human & ghoul. It'd be interesting.

What the holy, god-only-knows fuck are you talking about?

Fallout: New Vegas was a direct sequel to Fallout 2. It was set closer to the west coast and had the NCR in it. Not to mention it had intelligent super mutants from the original Fallouts and there were plenty of references to characters, places and encounters from the original Fallouts.

Fallout had almost nothing to do with Fallout 1 or 2, it was on the other side of America and just took factions and ideas from the first two and plunked them in DC.

Whatever you're sniffing I don't want it.

 

[Helios_(DEL)]

Have they announced it yet?

Honestly, New Vegas was fucking GREAT. Learn from the positives, mix them in, make a few gameplay and graphical tweaks and there's a fucking perfect game right there.

I completely agree, i had one glitch happen to me that didnt effect the game at all.It was like a side game not a direct sequel, but you know what? it was fun!it was good and does have replayability.

 

[Vault101]

New engine makes things a little more cinematic and Its all good (I like both 3 and NV)

 

[pwned123456]

I have high hopes for Fallout 4. Theory I've been cooking up; It's suggested that both China and America have been nuked to every last bit of their soil, but it doesn't say too much about every other country. I can imagine the story being a crashed plane from England or something landing in the nuclear ruins of America.

Eh pulled this from the vault wiki
"Allistair Tenpenny came to the Capital Wasteland from Great Britain to seek his fortune, so that alone tells you that the U.K. was also hit in the war. And if he came to U.S. to succeed, that says a lot about how screwed up Europe must be. So we just allude, a little bit, to the state of the rest of the world. We like to leave a lot to the players' imaginations, and somebody like Tenpenny serves as a catalyst for those thoughts." - Emil Pagliarulo[1]

Yeah the European Commonwealth was locked in a bitter inter-war with itself. And once the US and the Reds launched, the Soviets would of too, mutual assured destruction you know. And the rest of the world would of launched as well. I would like to see Canada, due to the following:

-The US Annexation, I would love to see that expanded upon
-It's post-Great War state, Ashur in The Pitt refers to a "Ronto" being a great military power, possibly referring to Toronto, Ontario
-A Vault-Tec letter found in FO3 suggests that either Vaults were constructed in Canada or it is so low priority that it may have been largely overlooked by the Reds

now add some rebuilt cars(not to fast though that would make it too easy) to make travel time less and get rid of some glitches I have noticed

My fallout 4 hopes and dreams? To crush everyone elses hopes and dreams...cause hey, i was an evil fucking bastard in fallout 3, why change my tune now? xD

 

[Adventurer2626]

I think I'd like to see Europe. Part of me wants it to go to the midwest for a story arc involving the great lakes but I think fallout needs a change of scenery. There's so much unexplored culture there to tap into. Hell, I might even learn something, hailing from the elephant in the room.

Billy D Williams as the DJ.

I would preorder the game just so I could give Bethesda more money.

Fallout New Vegas followed the story just as much as fallout 3. Fallout new vegas had a much more immersive story. you got to play for yourself and it was way more immersive than fallout 3. Capital wastelands were a mostly copy paste type of land scape while New Vegas had a pile of different colorful environments that were fun to play in. New Vegas had better weapons, more variety, they brought back game play elements to fallout from the first 2.


here i Was about to argue with you when I realized that you must be a troll. Nobody is that arrogant while making claims with nothing to back them up. bye.

technically nv was fallout 4 but it was a side game with nods to the first two and second the worst thing about new vegas is not being able to continue after the final battle it was a little buggy but still amazing clearly better than fallout three but they are so similare it almost doesnt matter

 

[Shadeovblack]

What I'm hoping for is a long succession of fallout: (insert) titles, such as Fallout: New Vegas. Each one set in a different location with the same engine.

BTW I thought New vegas was far superior to fallout 3, though I wish they'd have fixed some of the more heavily modded things such as being able to continue after the end of the main quest, higher levels, and skills above 100. Hardcore mode was awesome though.

 

[Marcotic]

Warning- Text Wall.

Just a few things. Like others have said, remove invisible walls. Period. I am perfectly fine with the "You cannot go in this direction any further" line.

Introduce rock climbing or don't have inaccessible areas show on the map. I hated being right next to new location (that's what I like to do in that game, discover locations) and having to squirrel around a rock formation.

Add a mini map. The Pip Boy is awesome, but c'mon. Even if that tech doesn't exist in game it could easily represent all the information that someone would glean if they were in the game world.

Better AI/ engine.

Being able to use cover a la Mass Effect or even Red Dead would be nice. Sans cover the game never really seemed like a shooting game to me.

Vehicles but only if you can explain them without ruining the verisimilitude. Maybe if the setting was days after the Great War it could work.

Undo the progress- as others have said things are going too well Again backing up the timeline may help, though I would prefer the series continues forward.

A settlement creator system would be cool to. Set up your own shack. Set up a shop, gather building materials and make your own settlement! What a cool thing to do even if it didn't help you out very much.

Bigger maps, more people, more believable world economy/resource allocation.

I like the midwest/ central US idea, maybe around the great lakes. Call it Frostburn or the Frozen Wastes or some such. Nuclear winter and all that jazz.
