Perhaps a Hardcore mode that removes Fast Travel

I've never used the fast travel. I got fallout new vegas a few days ago, been playing it alot. but i've NEVER used the fast travel. I know i can, and i know how to, i just never think about using it...

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?
...New Vegas was more a Fallout game than Fallout 3 was, it had people actually familiar with the other Fallout games making it, even having more and similar systems from the first Fallout games. I liked the terrain and story alot better in New Vegas, Fallout 3 had very booring enviroments and the main story was... well shit IMO, what I liked in Fallout 3 was the side missions, so I'm just saying I disagree with your statement, Fallout 3 is the game which I wouldn't consider a Fallout game. Even if bugs and glitches are more present in New Vegas...
I agree man Vegas was Fallout 3 in my opinion, it even continues a lot of threads from Fallout 2 with Marcus and even little things like Cassidy being the daughter of the old Cassidy. Fallout 3 was a great game but it was a bit too grey and depressing for me to be a proper sequel, Fallout always had a sense of humour which 3 sadly lacked for me.

Just to nerd out a bit more for a minute I think it'd be cool if they implemented the travel system of 1 and 2 for a change. Imagine a mix between Bioware and Fallout 3, you'd have a home hub (maybe a caravan you act as a guard set up like Dragoss Effectn Age Origins camp or maybe a Rangers base) and as soon as you leave you can pick a map location maybe in between you get attacked by raiders or whatever.

I love Bethesda open worlds but in my opinion they're getting too samey, seen one and you've seen them all. Now if you cut out some of that open world stuff they could spend time making settlements and cities much more interesting and unique. Not to rag on Bethesda but they have a tendancy to cut and paste items and even buildings, now I understand for time and size etc but imo Fallout wasn't about quantity it was always a treat visiting new towns because they all had a different character to them imagine Shady Sands and Vault City in a Bethesda game they'd be the same, I know Fallout 1 and 2 reused stuff but they weren't as blatant as Bethesda.

Thinking about it Dragon Age Origins owes a lot to Fallout for it's travel system, oh now I wish Bioware would get the Fallout licence.

Since it's going to run on Skyrim engine, I hope dual wielding will finally make it's way into the Fallout universe, and I hope it'll make a grand entrance by letting you mix melee and guns.

My greatest wish would however be for SPECIAL core attributes to finally be meaningful again. What I hated about F3 and F:NV was how little of a difference it made to have certain stats at 1 or 10.

Also, the usual improvements to graphics and A.I., cause those are always welcome, and maybe it's time to finally let us mix and match different articles and layers of our armors... Homage was paid in F3/F:NV, time for upgrades.

Honestly I'd want a prequel to all the games, it never made sense to have games set after Fallout 2 (regardless of their quality), simply because by that point in the story, humanity had pretty much pulled themselves from the ashes and successfully started anew.

I want a game in the bad years, the years immediately after the first vaults open with people who could remember pre-war society struggling to surivive in a cruel and brutal world. There's no safe cities, no uniform currency (even if it's just bottlecaps), new species of mutant animals are flourishing and everything is bleak.

This is what i would like

Improved Engine,
Less Load Time
More Weapons lots more
More Enemies like 'Android's' 'Birds/Flying Enemies'
A Choice of Race 'Ghoul' 'Human' 'Android' 'Super Mutant' with origin stories
HUGE world hopefully one of these
Austin/West Elizabeth/Mexico all in one yes like RDR
New York City and it's Outskirt's
Companions will talk to you as you walk around the world [yes like Dragon age Origins]
More Gore
A ZOO imagine fighting a Radiated Tiger/Monkey's and Rob Schiender
No Spider's
Buyable Mount's like riding Giant Ant's or a Yaoi Guai
LOTS of Music and i mean LOTS and when you complete missions you get more music.
Play your own music while playing the game, imagine listening to 'Won't Back Down' charging into the Enclave with your Sledgehammer
Lots of Custom Weapons to Build
BOAT's i swear there is like 1 Boat in Fallout that has significance
EVEN MORE WEAPONS
Hybrid Enemies [i don't know where i was going with that]
MUSIC did i mention it?
Lots of customizable features while makeing your chacrter eg Piercing,Tattoo's
When you get hurt you can get Scar's


Yeah thats about it

Pffft, tell that to the people of the Capital Wasteland who don't even know how to build a well.

i think they need to move fallout north a bit. out of the desert and more into an area that might snow. like washington or something.

maybe actually have weather and seasons so if you play for enoguh ingame days you get a full year. or maybe split the game up into 4 sections for the seasons. cause im sure that depending o nthe seasons your survivial skills would be tested differently. like water harder to find in summer cause the lakes dry up and winter has some days where its really cold so gun jam more and you need shelter for the night.

also i want them to make hardcore mod actually hard. like make it so food is scarce so you get to eat like one meal a day and are nearly always suffering from starvation or thirst to some degree.

That actually why it's quite jarring in Fallout 3, that they're still using bottle caps and living in ruins. In Fallout 2 there was possibly four advanced societies functioning by the end of it, the NCR, Vault city, San Francisco under the Shi Empire and the Vault13/Arroyo city.

In particular the Shi empire was actually reverse engineering pre-war tech like power armour and vertibirds (if you got them the schematics), that's how advanced they were.

But it does make sense that the Capital would suffer far greater nuclear attack and therefore slower re-building.

That it runs on a new engine. The scenery and characters in Fallout 3/New Vegas look like it was all moulded from cottage cheese.
Hmm...should make hardcore mode easier. Om nom nom
It would if I liked cottage cheese -.-

As a long-standing fan of the series from when BlackIsle were the developers I found that Las Vegas was more in keeping with the feel of the first two games, while the third was more along the lines of a shooter with roleplay elements. However I enjoyed them both thoroughly.
My first hope for Fallout 4 would be one that runs more smoothly, with less glitches, crashes, freezes and shorter load times. I would like to finally see what is happening with the rest of the world, how about setting it in a different country? Europe for example, or South America would be cool, fighting your way through the radiation-mutated Amazonian rainforests. Coming across remnants of Aztec ruins that are inhabited by strange post apocolyptic survivor cults. Bethesda could explore how other countries prepared for the inevitable nuclear war.
Also, this new area would mean that it wouldn't have to chronologically follow on from some point after 3 or Las Vegas, how about turning the date back to some time around Fall Out 1. We can then follow how the other countries try to rebuild civilization. We can also see their versions of organisations such as the Brotherhood and Enclave.
I'd like it to have the feel of Las Vegas as apposoed to 4 because Fallout was originally an RPG not a shooter. Just with a better engine.

I think they might have trouble thinking up dangerous animals for England.
Fallout : Australia.

Everything fucking kills you here. Having said that, I wouldn't want to go up against a radioactive badger.
Imagine Deathkicks, the radiated version of the kangaroo...

Yeah, I'd love a serious AAA game attempting to imagine a post-nuclear apocalypse Australia. (Especially a city area - obviously the place already looks desolate BEFORE the fallout so you'd want at least some urban sections. Or you could just set the whole thing in the East Coast around rainforests etc, that'd make for a surprise to those who are like "OMG OUTBACK? LOL BORING".)

But sadly, Bethesda would never take such a huge marketing risk as to set Fallout totally outside of America for the entirety of the game.

The majority of potential consumers of such a game are American, and of course, the rest of the world is very much a subject of "Thar be dragyns" thinking in the minds of the lowest common denominator there (as it is everywhere).

I would like there to be dual wielding certain melee weapons and handguns. Also being able to be ghoulified. That is all I can think of.
Ghoulification sounds, heh, rad! I never really noticed radiation that much- it was just a number I had to keep down by using RadAway.

If radiation corresponded with visible ghoulification over time, with the effects (partially?) reversible by use of Chems, it would give the world that extra layer of passive interactivity, and have radiation become- visually, at least- that much more potent.

Don't laugh. It might look a little like this:
plus, you could fit the whole country in, instead of having a naff invisible wall.

I would like Fallout 4 to take place in NY, New Jersey, Europe, Russia or China. It'd be a different perspective and might add more to the story of the apocalyptic war.

2 things I want changed. Get rid of that awful chance shooter b.s. I don't think anyone has the time to stop and think about what body part they can hit most effectively and most likely... not too mention how aggravating it is when you miss and you just spent half your day zooming in while time stopped in order to give you statistical analysis of what you should do in, what would usually be, a split second. It's so boring and unrealistic to reaction time that my eyes want to scream at me for torturing them. I know you don't have to use it, and I don't, but the game seems centered around it.

Secondly I would like to think that a point blank shotgun blast to someone's cerebral membrane renders them with an incurable case of death and not just a critical wound. I mean, most of the time I'm running backwards from a guy who's head is "critically damaged" and yet he's still chasing me at full speed, keeping balance and managing to fight back quite effectively. I understand that, say, mutants might take one more case of lead to the head but shooting a human in the head 7 or 8 times renders false. It reminds me of that hilarious part in Me, Myself and Irene where J.C. has to kill a cow... it's hilarious because it's so unrealistic! If the guy I shoot is wearing an armored mask, at least make it so that he's in shock or wounded. A face full of shrapnel is not the same as grazing your knee (unless you're 3, in which case every pain you feel is accompanied by a large whine until you're given ice-cream). This is a post-apocalyptic world, they don't have ice-cream. They just have brown, destroyed scenery, immortal men and useless guns!

I liked Fallout New Vegas and i have been lucky not to have to many bugs.

I would like to see hardcore mode devloped into something more in depth, something where you need to camp every night, or you have a kit etc. not sure if this would be to in depth but it would be cool at least for a bit.
I would like to see the mid west or something like chicago and in the mid west.
less loading screens FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!
deffinatly a place to stay early in the game like in Fallout 3 that was a boon
def vehicles, maybe it can be a fetch quest or something you need to fix up.
Co-op would be nice as well

You are a ninja.
There would be a fallout shelter in the GPO, and mutants in the old army barracks. It would be awesome. I would help to fund this project.

All I ever wanted, was for NPCs to stop staring at me. And have a nicer dialogue.

A sprint function would be bloody nice too.
