I'm not sure it would be a 'Fallout' game if that were to happen. The fiction is rather intimately tied to U.S. cultural idioms and themes.ANON88UK said:

from my extensive experience watching third party companies utilize flagship franchises, I guess that if the decision from the recent court case versus Interplay lets Bethesda keep Fallout, Fallout 4 would be developed internally (Bethesda Softworks) using the Skyrim engine and would be officially announced at the earliest E3 or Quakecon this year.
Britain might work as we had a similar culture at that point.AdeptaSororitas said:
I think you are kind of right though I can't see it working well elsewhere. Obsidian have kind of written Beth into a corner though with the couriers decisions and they can't use the warp in the west excuse this time.
What this guy said - Fallout 3 and New Vegas are probably my two most beloved games of this console generation; I'm still playing New Vegas, even though I have Skyrim, Uncharted 3, AC: Revelations, and Battlefield 3 all waiting for me. The day Fallout 4 is released is going to be a very happy day for me.kman123 said:
Another developer is making Dishonoured, Bethestda are only doing publishing duties for it.trollnystan said:
So Bethesda's development team is most likely working on Fallout 4 and Skyrim DLC at this moment.
OT: Skyim's skill level system, keep that.
And make most buildings searchable.
I recently installed the DC Interiors mod on my FO3 for PC, and it is amazing.
Seriously, the fact that most of the buildings were initially boarded up pissed me off.
Other than that, I generally can't think of much to improve, apart from the AI.
Again with the mod references, Mart's Mutants randomly generates enemies, so a pack of Mole Rats won't all be clones of each other again. They are different sizes, colours, and they even have different stats and personalities. You might encounter 2, and one is small and will run away when it is near death, the other is large and strong, and will fight aggressively.
This is the same for every enemy in the game, except of course robots as they actually are all identical due to production lines and what not.
So yeah, that mod alone would generally make everything more varied, make every encounter unique and unpredictable, and add many layers to the combat of the game.
Am I insulated from F:NV's bugs since I played it long after the patches? I certainly had issues with it crashing when going through doors sometimes, but another patch fixed that.
I played it on a friend's 360 so I'm note sure if that affects it - I heard the PC version was more glitchy.
Still an outstanding game.

the sign of a good game mechanic, is that its hard to master at lower levels, in my opinion, and therefore Skyrim/FA:NV lock picking, in my opinion, is inferior to oblivion. i just enjoyed the system of lock picking in oblivion more, so i wish they will go back to that one, as opposed to spinning shitSmeggs said:
(and when you think about it, oblivion's system is more realistic)
I think NV did alot of things MUCH better than Fallout 3 (but I prefered FO3's atmosphere and setting)
so I'm not too disapointed it will be bethedesa (even though skyrim and oblivion shit me to no end)
just the Idea of fallout..with that kind of graphical polish...NERDGASM!

I think the glitch thing is somtimes luck of the drawjoe-h2o said:
I got fallout NV..on launch day, on a computer which is "ok" at best and while I had a few glitches nothing that "broke" the game
I fully expected it to be a glitch-fest anyway
A Fallout game set in London would really work quite well with all the interesting landmarks and bridges, I could imagine it being fun.
Or they could leap back in time so it's not 200 years after the war but more like 60 or something.
But imagine if the entire world outside the USA had rebuilt and were functioning fine but they didn't send help to the USA cos they were sick of the US bullshit.
But seeing as Skyrim did mountains so well, a game in Canada or the North of the USA in the rockies could be likely.

Agreed, I would also add that the TES skill style also removes the old "I killed 30 bad guys, now I can pick locks better" thing. Or the "I picked 200 locks so now I can cast fireball better" sort of thing you get. However, the bits I don't like in Skyrim are 1) No stats, just skills. 2) One perk per level? come on guys, you can be a bit more generous than that.Smeggs said:
I hated Oblivion for the adjusting difficulty, it totally wrecked the game for me. FO3 was better. Skyrim was same. What they need to do is widen the variation more. I want to see a level 1 fool I can one shot, and more guys that I have to think to fight that aren't bosses.
Captcha: edgetsym i's histo WTF?
Let's just hope that Bethesda has no part in making it. For a good change to a year, let's hope their Bethesda has no part in any of their other successful franchises. All of their projects and resources should get outsourced to development teams with talent, coupled with a publishing group with a genuine love for games. Ahaha what am I saying, there's no way that would ever happen.
It wouldn't matter either way, because the majority of gamers, namely their target audience are so low-maintenance that they wouldn't be able to tell the difference. Sad, but true.

yes, other nations were all on the sidelines. nations like Germany, Greece, Korea, China, Cuba and Vietnam hardly had anything to do with the cold war at all....Bvenged said:
Seriously, look up sattelite states and say that again.
OT: whil i agree it might be difficult to retain the fallout feel somewhere else in the world, i'd like to see some more actual postapocalyptic civilisations. new vegas had the legion but they were just'the evil faction'. it'd be great if they introduced some factions with more interesting conflicts than evil slavers/fascists vs. NCR/brotherhood
Oh come on, this is just pedantry.bat_trapper said:
The title would be less succinct if it had to be "Fallout 4/5, the one after New Vegas we mean".
Everyone understands what is meant by Fallout 4 I think - the next instalment in the series.
I think either way I will be picking it up - New Vegas left a good impression on me.
Well, I just bought the GOTY Edition of Fallout 3, so I'll see how I feel after I play it. Then I'll see whether or not I will be looking forward to FO4.
Look at other series, GTA, Resident Evil, and Halo, just to name a few.
A game that comes after a numbered game and doesn't have a number in it's name, isn't counted in the numbering when the next game comes out that the company decides to give a number.
That would be so if game numbering worked that way in the games industry.bat_trapper said:
