What do you want in the next fallout?

[sarge1942]

maybe some co-op and maybe for those wanting to know what happened with the takeover of canada, set it in near Niagra Falls, what better place to show the tensions than where there is literally just fast moving water seperating them, they did it in New Vegas so why not, except there would be a bit more decision making when it comes to who to side with (at least for me i could find very few reasons to ever side with the legion) as a player from the USA playing the game might on one hand want to help their country, but on the other hand they might agree with the Canadians, or something like that, Europe would be interesting too just because of all the different coutries so close together over 100 years the cultures might blend together or get really distorted (and also castles!)

Fallout 3's level scaling to return. Railroading the player for the first 10-15 hours is not good game design in an open world, Obsidian.

I know we've discussed this over Twitter but again I'd like to get in this debate where more people can get in on this.

I disagree with the idea of level scaling in any game and I loved the work that New Vegas did in eliminating that. It gave you something to work towards rather than just seeing your work only making normal enemies stronger. It just made everything seem pointless.

Yes the railroading may seem off in an open world but to me it makes more sense than having the same creatures magically getting stronger as you are.

Less children.

However this I can get behind

an isometric view and turn based combat

No, 50's themes! Thats all I want. It's takes place in the future, so make it a future setting please!

I hear Bethesda has a fancy new engine stashed away, that'd be nice. (I can already hear the shrill bitching though of people saying its not 'fallout' enough).

Also, I think some people might have missed how Fallout is partially at its core a satire of America and moving it somewhere else would kind of make that not work and thus erode the foundation on which the game was built (and create even more fanboy tears). You know what, what I really want is mass gagging of the fanbase that keeps complaining that only the first two were good. That's not constructive and its not doing anything, and it's making me mad.

Stability, more radio stations, more songs on said radio stations, and fix the radio spoiling the story occasionally. This was problem with Fallout 3, I had a bug where Three Dog would do the "Two Weeks" Dialog even while I was fresh out of the vault.

Fallout: Japan.

Before you kill me with pitchforks, think about how it could tell the brave story of someone who was there when shit went down.

 

[Synyster]

A more urban environment, like the main parts of the Capital Wasteland, I would like to see a big city like New York, I would also like to see new species opposed to the same species with new skins and names

 

[Synyster]

Ridable vehicles, readable books, more humour, and bring back the talking deathclaws.

I agree with everything said in this post

 

[Synyster]

Fallout set in Australia! Be like a more insane version of Mad Max, with mutated kangaroos and wombats.

like a normal day in Australia ok that would be fun

Yeh I have to agree, there's not enough interesting things close enough together to make a game,

 

[health-bar]

Fallout 4 should include a button in the first 10 copies made that when any one is pressed, they launch all the worlds nuclear arsenal.

Then the REAL Fallout begins.

I'd love it if the next game took place in the Commonwealth (Massachusetts). I think there's a good shot at that.

Florida also sounds great, with a Fallout-style spaceport and mutated tropical plants and wildlife.

 

[burhanr]

Less crashing to desktop.

Also, augmentation. For example: instead of a forearm, i want a built in CHAINGUN, and LIGHTSABER! and my character is a GRIZZLY BEAR! and its set in SPACE!

There was something in Fallout Tactics 2 that said there was a lot of alligators in Florida due to a GECK but this may or may not be actually canon.

Pretty much, its like having the best Fallout 3 DLC turn into a full fledged awesome game.

Interplay Entertainment, Only this and nothing more.quote]

Oh dear, you don't want that...

*ahem*

Bethesda at least tried to not screw the lore and style over, Interplay made Fallout a brainless shoot'em up. Bethesda treated Interplays franchise better than Interplay did.

OT: A more interesting setting, Vegas is kind of dull and the wasteland is rather static and boring. It's a post apocolyptic game, stop having places that didn't get nuked as the setting.

Also a return to the east coast would be cool, so much untapped potential there.

Texas or the Southeast. The series has dropped a few bits about how rough things are in the South, could be fun. I wouldn't mind seeing the areas of 1 & 2 again, but I guess the NCR runs it all by the time of 3/NV. Maybe set it before FO1.

 

[Nomanslander]

Does there really HAVE to be another Fallout?

Yes, now that Elder Scrolls got a new face lift, I'm sure many of us are waiting for Fallout's turn.

 

[kouriichi]

The only thing i want is a new engine.
They could cut and paste F03 onto a new engine, and id be the happiest man on the planet.

 

[Arina Love]

NOT Gamebryo engine this horrible thing must go!

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

A character creation system like that of Gamma-World! That would be UBER-bitchin'.
