What are your wishes for Fallout 4?

Edit: and make everyone killable with it altering the plot/story if they die instead of them being invincible.

This. I tried being evil, but my evil character can hardly reach his full potential if people will just get back up and talk to me as if I hadn't just sent them flying from a Gauss round to the head.

Also? More of those locations like Vaults 92 and 108, in which there's clearly some rich and interesting backstory that you can uncover by looking at old terminals and exploring the areas. Those two locations scared the shit out of me, and I can only attribute that to the whole aura of mystery thing that they had going.
So yeah, more backstory, less plot. And, if there must be a main quest that every player is meant to complete, it'd be nice if Bethesda could do the ending right on their first try.

To not have it in forced Third-Person or with an isometric view.

Because if anyone says that watching everything from overhead is more immersive than being down there in first person, they're lying. It's not immersive if you can SEE the Super Mutant walking around the other side of the building towards you.

 

[Irridium]

what about those of us who got it for the xbox 360?

um... Shit outta luck then I guess...

I will just get it out of the way:
-more character customization (mainly body, the face is fine)
-more quests (compared to oblivion, this is severely lacking)
-larger area

Now, to argue against other people: you can no longer kill children in games due to current legislation, I'm sorry. And, the brown and gray have to stay: even the first two games were nothing but brown and gray.

What legislation is this? I'd like to see it.

Ammo, stims and the like weighed something, I have over 200 stim packs and carry any ammo I find so I've got like 12 mininukes that should weight a 40+ pounds in reality.

The other thing is the movement, the movement has always looked poor jumping and what not. Updated it make it look more natural. After playing Red Faction and going back to Fallout you notice even how you run is just, well bad to put it bluntly. The dialogue I didn't mind so much because I'm a big fan of written RPG dialogue so I can get past the okay voice acting and how many professional voice actors can you hire before you blow your budget?

A setting somewhere other than America.

Maybe England? *Cough cough*

Be turned into a super mutant if you stay in radiation too long.

You turn into a Ghoul if you are radiated too long, you turn into a super mutant if dumped in HEV. xD I'm such a nerd.

 

[DemonI81]

My wishes are that it's not made.

Bethesda proved over and over again with Fallout 3 that they don't care about major bugs and glitches, they just care about getting more content out and making more money.
They also proved how well their copy/paste skill are, since every subway, every "dungeon" type area underground looked exactly the same.
The gameplay was so repetitive, it was worse than Assassin's Creed for repetitiveness.

 

[Remleiz]

Be turned into a super mutant if you stay in radiation too long.

don't you meal a ghoul?
[super mutants were created by the F.E.V]

 

[socialtangent]

I'd like to be able to play in nuked-out China or Russia. Imagine how the radiation mutated the Pandas, or Siberian Tigers and Bears...

 

[Julianking93]

A setting somewhere other than America.

Maybe England? *Cough cough*

Yeah, I'm a little tired of almost all games taking place in America. I'd like to see a Fallout game set in England too. All the historical landmarks are perfect.

Better yet, why don't they have any games that take place in Canada?

 

[TheLefty]

A more interesting game. Bethesda doesn't seem to have the right formula to make a game interesting to me, so it's unlikely that I'll buy it, except if it starts to lean more towards Mass Effect, which I found a much more compelling game.

For me it was exactly the opposite. I bought them both at the same time with my christmas money and didn't play Mass Effect seriously until I got to level 20 in Fallout.

Anyway, I want better graphics and more quests. Something to do once you hit 30 or to keep you entertain until 30. seriously I got bored at 28 and forced myself to play to 30.

Also better music. I didn't mind because I zone out while I play and don't really hear the music until I stop to eat or go to the bathroom or something but my sister and mom were so annoying with "I'M A MIGHTY MIGHTY MAN AND I'M YOUNG AND I'M MY PRIME! YAY!"

1)NO V.A.T.S or just let me aim differently .
2) different art style-I don’t expect it to be pink but I didn’t like the art style at all.
3)more or less hummer-I didn’t know if to take huff of the game seriously. is it trying to be funny or not?
4)better story -I really don’t know story was quite boring for me.
5)if you are going to have a leveling system make some items have a level requirement.
6) more mature content - no I don’t mean sex and stuff but all the did is say fuck a lot .
7)a lot less subway stations I was getting really annoying. and it seemed that they just copy pasted all of them.
8) les suck it was an ok game but I got myself to hyped for it.

1) you can just NOT use vats and aim manually, like any other shooter - I do most of my shots this way actually
2) You've got no chance, Uncanny Valley is Bethesta's choice and they're sticking to it
3) *Humour. The fallout franchise is known for its dark humour. Fallout 3 was perhaps the most serious one, though with some lovely moments of hilarity I must say. More humour is the direction we want.
4) It beats the previous Fallout stories by a long shot. Fallout 1 can be summed up as "we need a water chip, hey, that head has tenticles on it" and Fallout 2 can be summed up as "who gives a fuck about the plot, I can be a porn star"
5) Meh, fine, if you really want. I personally would find it a stretch to see a level 2 in Power Armour so it never struck me as an issue.
6) All the violence, prostitutes, liberal swearing and the general theme of apocalypse not mature enough for you?
7) Would anyone even be referencing copy pasted subways if Yahtzee hadn't said it? Seems not. Also, they're subways how unique can they possibly be?
8) Less suck eh? Nice, very nice suggestion there. If you got overhyped that's your own business, you can't really go and expect every game to fulfill every last one of your insane imaginings.

Anyway, now that I'm done trolling this guy. I'd like to add my own suggestion - More varied voice actors... yeah I know it's been said already but I agree with it. Hearing every ghoul have the exact same voice was kinda jarring, and Mr. Burke, didn't I last see you in Cyrodil, arresting me for punching a beggar in the face?

Customizable Armor
The ability to actually pick a house to live in.
The ability to join factions.
Co-op!
Love Interests, alot of them.
Customizable Weapons, I have yet to see a game that lets you have etchings on your weapon.
CO-OP!!

 

[McNinja]

A good, well-written ending that doesn't any plot holes, i.e

Spoiler

the radiation proof mutant not being able to go into the radiation forcing you to needlessly kill yourself "because it's your destiny"

and that makes you feel like you actually did something worthwhile.

also larger area, more quests, more weapons and armor. More customizing options.

 

[rickthetrick]

I say take the story back to the west coast. San francisco would be awesome. I do agree that it needs more open endedness, but I don't necessarilly think that we need to take it all the way back to the original gameplay. I say improve on what there is, and don't take a step back out of nostalgia.

Well, this is at least what I've heard from discussing it. I'm sorry that I do not have a source. Hell, I could just be talking out my ass, but still I think that killing kids would not go over well with the media here, and that's another reason they won't do it.

Sorry, wish I could provide you with a source though, since I would love to kill the kids.
