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.
Fallout 4 hopes and dreams?

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.Jovip said:

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 matterJovip said:
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.

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.

Going far, far away from the NCR. Being caught in the middle of the whole manifest destiny style eastward expansion felt less like a post apocalyptic environment and more like living in a rural area IRL shortly before wal-marts started popping up everywhere.
Not trolling bud. technical aptitude wise, new Vegas is better then 3. but a story about being some tough individual bad ass ruling a massive dessert with boring people? that's an American fantasy. wheres the humor of the fallout series. the actually well written not Americanized everything revolves around money and power bullshit. How about survival, the constant knowledge that war never ends, the sub text to human nature? it was all thrown away in new Vegas for a cheap side game. sure, theirs ads mode now. big fucking whoop. it has to much structure. there's no hopeless, no horrible onslaught of shit. really the world seems like a badly designed desert game with rpg aspects tacked on.linkvegeta said:
look at fallout 3's megaton. crazy city built around a bomb. someone wants to blow it up because he can. humans with souls live there. most developed and amazing part of new Vegas? new fucking Vegas. wow. congrats America. can't shove your unsustainable city down the rest of the worlds throats any harder can you. really just stupid idea there.
and while i'm at it, don't let obsidian make any more knock offs of good games. please. it's just stupid. fucked up kotor 2, screwed up new vegas. adding new features does not justify taking away the soul of the game.
hmmmm my quickest idea would be set on the west coast(maybe towards mexican border)where a beatup aircraft carrier lands on the shore along with a medium-large (idk yet) militarized Chinese occupying force, you escape/negotiate and travel to the north to either warn/destroy/spy on the NCR of/for the Chinese force. and fill the journey with tonnes of obsticals, factions and stuff.
A Fallout game set in Australia could act as a deep reflection of the multiculturalism in Australia. I would think a lot of people in Fallout would be travelling to Australia to get away from the radiation and mutated wildlife because, as you said, we wouldn't have been directly nuked. This could lead to all sorts of racial dilemmas for the character. Of course, there'd be plenty of other Fallout-related stuff in there, but I think the idea has merit. Or not. Whatever. Also, they could have a nice little in-joke about the banning of medicine by whatever qualifies for a post-apocalyptic government in Australia.xXxJessicaxXx said:
Personally, I'm just waiting for someone in the games to actually acknowledge our existance.
You do realize that a good sequel is exactly that right? taking good parts of the previous game, then putting it in a new environment and situation to see the differences and contrasts? if we kept with the same stuff it would get boring and stupid. fallout 3 changed things up with themes of the past. new Vegas tried to make homages to the past games. but just couldn't hold up. Sure it has some old factions, smart mutants. but that stuff was boring in the first few games. why bring it back. cut the fat. always makes for a better meal.ChupathingyX said:
I want another one set in the capital waste (or somewhere near it). The brotherhood's increased power along with increased violence and backlash with PP could created a rather Fallout 2 like experience. Which would be very good in my book.
I think Fallout could go this way pretty easily as they already have the ghoul and mutant prejudice issue.Andronicus said:
They could make it a metaphor for the problems in Australia.
It's been said before, but a different setting would be great. I'd love it if developers could break the mould and allow other countries to have a slice of their games industry. A Fallout: Moscow would really set them apart from the huge majority of games.
But, realistically, that's not going to happen. Publishers always assume that Americans are all so arrogant and annoyingly patriotic that they won't play a game that forces them to acknowledge the existence of other nations, so unless it's a Call of Duty game, publishers prefer to just assume that anything beyond the Florida coast is just an empty black void which Russians, Chinese and Arabs come from.
A smoother engine would be nice, as would some better voice acting and an overhaul of the NPC interface. Dyes wouldn't go amiss either.

Fallout 3 wasn't a direct sequel at all you realize that right? It was a completely different story taking place in the same universe. Change the name and a few small names and it could have easily been it's own franchise. The fact that it is set in the fallout universe gives it a chance to fill out more of the world and give more possibilities for stories in the future. New Vegas was a direct sequel taking place in direct conjunction with the story of the first 2 games, which a lot of people wanted. Not just "big stupid American people", fans of the franchises roots everywhere, I found the factions and references smart and well-placed. New Vegas in no way leaned on the first two games for anything, all of the factions have expanded or been destroyed, all of the returning characters have changed and grown. The NCR was a collection of fledgling collection of towns in 2, and now it's one of the greatest powers in the wasteland. New Vegas preserved the old games fantastic setting and factions and brought them back in a way that while being familiar, was totally different.Jovip said:
