Yes!!! Someone else who understands that more than anything we need to figure out 'when' as well as where.Elcarsh said:
On the subject, Alaska might be a cool idea if done properly but I think it should be set in some smalltown America with suburbs and white picket fences and all the hallmarks of the 50's culture with a great big bomb dropped on it. Have suburbs around a built up town full of mutants, ghouls, mercenaries and different groups of survivors fighting for survival/supremacy. The player decides who to side with (if anyone) and shapes the conflict that may seem small in the grand scheme of things but to the game its all encompassing.
I don't think it should be another desert game, we had that in New Vegas. I think London would be a good idea, but only if they got the tube right. I doubt it would have been hit by that many bombs, as china would mostly have ignored europe, but maybe they could have their own sort of mini-muclear war in Europe?
I believe they had according to the lore. China and the United States launched their missiles more or less at the same time at October 23'd, but Europe had already torn itself apart in their own resource-war, no doubt with some limited nuclear exchange of their own (My personal theory is that they emptied their stockpiles completly out of panic when the US and China went at it, however).Sigma Castell said:
I think London would have had its fair share of devastation, not only from the war with the middle east for control of the oil wells, but also when Europe collapsed into bickering nations, not to mention Doomsday itself. But I don't think it'd be as concentrated as what poor old D.C. or Los Angeles got.
If they do the tube right, make the story engaging (as well as providing an American link to make sure things remain Fallout in spirit) and do the most out of the location, it could be wonderful. Perhaps we might see more of good ol' Desmond?
I guess GTA: London, 1969 and GTA: London, 1961 snuck by under your radar, then.Combine Rustler said:
Not that I disagree too much; Fallout's 'thing' is 50s Americana. I'm not sure that 50s Britain would work quite as well as a post-apocalyptic world cultural backdrop; though a ruined London would be kinda cool, for much the same reasons that the vista of the bomb-blasted Washington Monument, Capitol Hill et al in FO3 was.
A Fallout in Russia could actually work really well, though, since there's a wealth of Mother Russia cliche and Stalinist-esque propaganda to played off of in much the same way that Reds and McCarthyism are the basis for a lot of dark humour in the series already. Ditto China, and perhaps especially so because of the tie-in to the actual FO canon that Red China has. If you were to take FO out of America, that's where I'd go; though you'd have to make sure that a FO in Russia wasn't just treading over the well-worn ground that Ess Tee Ay Ell Kay Ee Arr and Metro 2033 have already covered.
Staying on the American continent: I'm actually in favour of the idea of going back to D.C and having a game whose story explores the "What Happened Next" factors. I like it when games try to maintain a sense of setting and continuation over finding a new setting.
I'm afraid the Fallout series is long-dead for you, then.Anthraxus said:
OT: New York. Because the idea of a huge destroyed city is interesting, and is a nice break from the usual desert-y Fallout stuff. And also because skyscrapers.
Sounds like someone didn't play New Vegas. And better Bethesda than Interplay running it to the ground.Anthraxus said:
I'm pretty much fine with any major American city. I don't really much like the idea of setting Fallout anywhere outside the States because that's where the heart of the series is. It'd be like setting Independence Day in China.
That'd be interesting. Say for instance that you're heading to Manhattan at one point, but the bridges have collapsed and the tunnels that aren't flooded are home to... Less than wholesome things. Thankfully, a skyscraper has partly toppled over the river and leans drunkenly against a ruin on the opposite bank, forming a rickety, creaking bridge for you to pass. Little things like that.GameMaNiAC said:
And once again on the subject of the tube; one thing that would make subway tunnels more interesting would be a status upgrade for the lowly radroaches. In the dark, dank tunnels, the little critters should actually be a threat. First of all, give 'em a loud hiss and a creepy clittering movement soundeffect. Then, make them actually swarm you when you're away from a bright lightsource. Give some weight behind the words "...but in a den of darkness, the swarm will trample you under foot". They should be rather harmless out in the sun or in a well-lit enviroment, but once the lights are out...
*Ticklitickliticklitickli Hiiiiiiiiss!!*
Ive always loved the idea of fallout 4, and ive always the oepning being with this song! but instead of that intro i just imagine it zooming from a radio and two ghouls dancing together and you see the destroyed city. I mean i would absolutely love exploring the tall buildings, and the statue of liberty would be awesome too. I can imagine a mission where you have to help rebuild it...but unfortunatly im preety sure that new york would have been completely eradicated by the bombsMelon Hunter said:
OT: it should NEVER leave america, where do i want it to be? New york but as im preety sure thats imbossible my dreams are crushed
but where do i THINK it will be? California...there was way too much focus on the NCR in new vegas and a lot of focus on locations in california for them to NOT continue on with that. plus id love to see the places from fallout 1 and 2 in the first persion view with great graphics.
MY BIN that's where the third one is
Cardiff (resident) would be funny or New Castle or some other scummy British city.

Some where with multiple sets of islands, like Hawaii or Japan. I think it would be cool to add a little bit of Waterworld (terrible movie I know, but the point stands) into the Fallout formula.
Anywhere not in mainland USA would work for me I guess, let someone else's 50's aesthetic get wastelanded a little to shake things up a bit.

Seeing as the first fallout was in D.C and one of the DLC's suggested that north of the area was a group of people that had a lot of tech and were still working on it. I imagine i would love to see Fallout New York or Fallout Boston or Fallout Eastern Seaboard , heck i'd take Fallout Toronto, Canada just for some kicks .
I could see Fallout Toronto actually.
During the Invasion of Canada , the lead battles took place in southern Ontario , in which the USA quickly took over the captial of Canada , Toronto ( a joke based on many American's believing that the captial of Canada is Toronto rather then ottawa)
As many people in southern Ontario are considered Americans by most of the rest of the country , it quickly accepted its new leaders and a few shelters were built in the area.
After the great war , the canadian shelters took less nuclear blasting , which was also the reason the american's had built most of its research buildings in the area , you have left the shelter and are in need of pancakes with maple syrup.... and some hockey .. and a beer.

How about somewhere in South America or Southern North America? (South of the USA.)
You could move the story line along to say that the Legion has beaten the NCR and are now invading California. Your character is a refugee fleeing the Legion and heading south into Mexico and onto South America. Your objective is to get away from the Legion and set up a defensive line to hold them at bay. (I dont know enough about the geography of Mexico to have any ideas where.)
This would give you a story line, and it would keep the feeling of being on the frontier. It would also make the massive amount of guns plausable.
Now that i've had a bit of a look at Google Maps, Panama would be a good choice too. The land gets thinner in the middle, and, you have the Panama Canal which could act like the Hoover Dam did in New Vegas.
Colombia would work too. It's got some Jungles which would be a nice change of scenery.
I think a change of scenery is definately needed. The Capitol Wasteland and the Mojave were good, but something different needs to be done. But I wouldnt go with Alaska or Canada. Whilst the idea of a snow covered wilderness is cool, it will look too much like Skyrim. We dont need that because we've already seen that.
London would be cool, but there wouldnt be enough open space. It would be too cramped. (And I wouldnt be able to snipe everything that moved.) And the lack of guns wouldnt make it believable.
Australia would be good. You could have a story line that your character is heading south to get away from the fallout from the north. Or trying to cross the Nullarbor heading east to get away from the fallout brought in from the Roaring Forties. The further east you travel, the more chance you have to run into a mutated funnel web. (Now that would scare me more than any Deathclaw ever could!) Plus, survivors would be believable as there is a LOT of vacant land out there. No nuke could ever cover the whole of Australia.
The only problem with Australia is our lack of guns. We dont need them now, so there wouldnt be many lying around after a nuclear war.
