Poll: What's next for Fallout?

[ThePizzaGuy556]

I think it should die. New Vegas already wasn't needed. Fallout 3 shouldve been the end cause at this rate fallout won't be remembered as being kick ass in a high quality package

 

[Vankraken]

I personally would love a back story of the main character as growing up in a raider and gaining a pip-boy from looting a vault dweller.
For location i would suggest Atlanta because you can go with the whole southern angle and a confederate faction clashing with the Enclave or the Brotherhood (or both).

My first vote would go to a fallout game set in the commonwealth or central Canada (Same are? I'm not sure where the commonwealth is located according to fallout lore). I think a fallout set in China could be interesting, but it wouldn't really fit into fallout lore that well as all of the established canon is all based around events that take place on the west coast or in other ares of the continental united states. Vault-Tec in particular was a strictly US based company that built Vaults to protect US citizens. It could have an interesting premise though. Imagine an isolated cell composed of the decendants of US military and intellignece personel living in a 200 year old bomb proof bunker that was built in the heart of enemy territory as a joint venture by Vault Tec and the US government. When the protagonist ventures out of this safe haven they encounter Chinese tribals, maybe Korean tribals, some looking for nothing more than peaceful coexistance and others out for blood. They could also encounter enclave remnants that set out before the main enclave base at the oil rig was destroyed or the remains of a chinese government set up a la the NCR. It wouldn't be easy but done right it could be a fantastic way to present the other side of the story.

While a Fallout: London doesn't sound bad, I don't think that the UK (or anywhere else in Europe) was hit that bad by the Nukes. If anything it'd be in the same condition as Las Vegas. But then again I haven't really looked up much about the Fallout universe other than the stuff that happens in the games so I'm probably wrong.

Well, at least you admit your lack of knowledge. Canonically, Britain and the rest of Europe were annihilated in the Fallout universe; real life concerns of the European nations having far denser target grids than the United States come into play as well. In reality, Britain would be one of the hardest-hit nations, if not the hardest-hit, pound-for-pound, in a full-scale nuclear war, and Fallout's "Science!" wouldn't do much to prevent that.

Now we know!

I want to see Fallout: NY... Love to wander the Manhattan Boneyard...

Or take it back to its roots in California...

 

[Sejs Cube]

It won't be anywhere outside of (North) America.

Fallout is a game based on 20s - 50s Americana. You can't transplant that into somewhere like Europe or China without breaking that aesthetic clean in half. Sorry.

Anyway, next setting? I could definitely see something set in the Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Great Lakes region. That has some potential.

You guys are all missing the point. You don't understand. You weren't there at the beginning. Fallout is about one place. It has only ever been about one place. It is the STORY of that ONE PLACE. And that place is California and the areas around it. Every time they start to stray from California, the games suck. (The exception being Fallout 3, which gets a pass)

Fallout 2 is to this day still the greatest game ever made, if for no other reason then these three words. Lesbian Shotgun Wedding. At that point, fallout 2 won video game design for all time. Both 1 and 2 had something special going for them. A wicked sense of humor combined with very self-aware satire.

For the first time in 13 years, fallout is back in the hands of its creators. Feargus Urquhart, and Chris Avellone. Tim Cain is unfortunately doing his own thing, but Black Isle studios was, hands down, the best development team ever. And most of them are at obsidian. Now Bethesda I will give credit to for resurrecting fallout. And they were then smart enough to hand it off to its parents. Bethesda/Obsidian have a LOT of potential. More so even than squeenix. To those of you suggesting that Fallout should die with dignity... you first.

There have been 4 fallout games that matter. 1, 2, 3 and vegas. The rest never happened. Now the only piece missing is Tim Cain's warped sense of humor. But there are a lot of people with warped senses of humor.

So, tl;dr

Keep fallout in California where it freaking belongs. If you MUST switch location, do like vegas did and keep it close, and LET US GO BACK THERE. Klamath has gotten huge since fallout 1. I wanna see the new metropolis.

Bullshit to this.
Fallout is wherever the game decides to take place.
You can limit yourself if you'd like, I'd prefer to see something new, different and inspiring.

i say louisiana so you could battle mutated rednecks and mutant alligators, snakes , bears,and deer.and you could have like a bow or bowie knife. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!

[BlumiereBleck]

Goodness.....this is just silly. I'll leave it to the fallout wiki. The next Fallout will take place in the Mojave Wasteland anyway.

[dls182]

I want to see the next Fallout game start on the day the bombs drop. Then you head into one of the vaults that was set to open after 10 years. being one of the Vault pioneers could be interesting

 

[shnickerman]

why fix something that's not broken. keep it in america

 

[GrizzlerBorno]

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_series

What? No! I loved the Mojave (more so than DC anyway) but that would suck! From the discussion of this thread, the results I gleaned were specifically:
1. Massachusetts (the commonwaelth)
2. Britain
3. America on the day/month the bombs fell.

 

[harmypants]

Would anyone else like to play as a ghoul, but during the transformation. Like the ghoul in 3 that ran the shop in underworld.
That could make for a pretty interesting game...

 

[Kinguendo]

I want Fallout somewhere new and interesting in the US like Honolulu or New York.

New York would be interesting.

Although OP, I think before the war and Europe would be the same. Thats where things were happening before the war, Europe and the Middle-East were beating the shite out of each other and eventually caused each other to collapse and then some time after came the America-China war. Like I said to the above guy New York would be interesting but I would also like to see my homeland, Britain, in a Fallout Game. Their civilization had collapsed long before America so they would have progressed further and be coping better, OR you could throw that logic out of the window and have crazy bastards who think they are Sherlock Holmes running around slapping everyone who he thinks is a criminal and shouting "ELEMENTARY!" before being mauled by the Hound of the Baskervilles... of course you wouldnt see that, you would just see him running around New London like a nutter and later on find his mauled corpse and take his hat, pipe and jacket! Then you get a mission to find out what happened to Sherlock where you must use your powers of deduction to discover what happened... culminating in you finding a giant, mutated dog with bleeding eyes and having to beat that motha down! And that would just be one side quest!

Also, you could have Jack the Ripper murdering ladies of the night and being generally unpleasant. All kinds fo things, Britain has a very rich history and stuff.

EDIT: And as it is Britain, I guess you could probably get away with a kind of steampunk setting.

 

[Light 086]

A big city would be nice, once I saw the wasteland in the 3rd I knew what New Vegas's desert would be like. I'm also interested in what's going on in the rest of the world. The whole Enclave/Brotherhood thing got old, the NCR/Legion conflict was a nice change of pace but it started to wear thin after a while.

BTW I like SimuLord's idea, the commonwealth intrigued me when I heard about androids in the 3rd game.

 

[kuyo]

I could go for a Chinese Fallout. They were the opposing force in the war after all. Plus it'd mean seeing a bombed out Tiananmen square.

 

[Cogwheel]

Fallout: Eastern Europe.

Oh, wait.

 

[CoonCon09]

Nobody has said a place further up the coast from the commonwealth, like say what remains of Maine. The City of Bath is one of the major producers of warships, maybe BIW (the company that makes the ships) went unharmed. Or maybe the nuclear winter is still so harsh that through the centuries after the war the Acadians have evolved into snow people adapted to survive by an L.L. Bean code or something IDK all sort of stupid funny ideas.

 

[EcHoFiiVe]

I would want New York. I am from New York so that would be great fun. The L train might actually have a reason for being delayed with ghouls running around all over the subway system. I am hoping SOMEONE here gets that.
