Where you want the next fallout setting?

In the real world? In an Obsidian Studio.
In game, I would either enjoy the heck out of:
A port town on the Great Lakes or even just a normal town near them. Sault Saint Marie, Duluth/Superior, or even Mackinaw. The frigid weathers would finally mean a nuclear winter setting, replacing the desert thing they have been doing since game 1 with something new. Creatures such as mutated fish, moose, and wolves would be awesome, with a focus on more hunting gameplay at times (The creatures hunting you for instance). More hunting and civilian weaponry then military, with a lot more scarcity. Huge industrial districts, worn out and half sunk freighters, and the fact there would be tons of vertical gameplay since they all take place on hilled cities.
Or perhaps Washington (the state). Wild woods of the area overgrown for centuries. Human contact limited at times. Imagine a part of the Fallout world nature has almost fully reclaimed, and seems empty and desolate in a new way. Vines and trees jutting out of buildings, tiny towns being eaten up by the mutant force of nature. Constant Radioactive/Acid rain would force most humans underground or in cover, making nature itself a constant threat and gameplay element. Perhaps Fallout Seattle would be a huge hub of skyscrapers and tech as well.

More seriously, I'd put it in western Canada, in the Yukon. You've got Canadians who don't particularly care for the Americans who annexed them so long ago (so if the NCR is in the game, they can be an outright enemy); the Brotherhood of Steel doesn't exist, instead replaced by some remnant of the occupying force; and across the Alaskan border, you've possibly got hostile Chinese.
And no. F***ing. Rad. Scorpions.
But mutant moose. [http://orig15.deviantart.net/b7eb/f/2005/009/9/5/moose.jpg]
Somewhere out West (Western U.S., that is). I really enjoyed New Vegas. But I'm also somewhat of a "desert rat". The wide open prairie appeals to me more than urban sprawl decay.
California would be interesting since it's the NCR stomping ground. Arizona or New Mexico might be fun too.
But I was thinking Texas (and not just because I live here). The terrain itself varies from green grass to sandy beaches to desert mesas. And it already has its own bizarre culture that's ripe for Fallout-style parody!

I am hoping (but not expecting) the next Fallout to be Fallout: New Canaan. Some Utah, some Salt Lake City and a healthy sprinkling of post apocalyptic Mormons. Ever since New Canaan was brought up in New Vegas I've been hoping the setting will get its' own franchise entry.
First and foremost I want it to be set outside of Bethesda. Those people don't seem to care anymore. Fallout 4 feels like an early access title.
Texas, or possibly Florida. Or hell, how about everybody's favorite Wild Wasteland locale: Fort Knox, Kentucky?
A combination of a couple suggestions
as much as Detroit made me laugh)
Chicago, it's a Midwest setting with great architecture and an interesting environment. It's on a Great Lake and if you could set the game in the winter you could still have a "frozen north" setting.
Of course if you did that, the way the game clock progresses there would be a point where it's July and everything is frozen, unless you tried to BS some kind of nuclear winter "only in the north" explanation. Lol.

A non-USA place would be quite interesting to see how everyone else has fared. Canada, perhaps, as it was annexed (according to FO3 load screens) could be an option.
For FO4, I'd like to see a pure new Vault area. Vault Zero. Where the CEOs and all those doods who created and designed the vaults remain. Ancestors and their long-term survivors. Hear and learn about what they really wanted to accomplish. Maybe find out they orchestrated the bombs being dropped to get people to rush into the vaults. Maybe they managed to create some super human (Green skinned Human which they are neither ghoul nor super mutant. Immortal and radioactive immunity. No alteration to sanity (or plenty of it goes unnoticed).
Otherwise one might just pick any interestingly large locations to create the next world around. Hollywood?

One thing I liked about Fallout 3 was seeing famous landmarks. I only remember the Alexander garden (and the walls of the Kremlin) and Lenins tomb in Metro Last light. It might because I dont know Moscow's landmarks thoughCharcharo said:
I say,Ronto. In The Pitt,Ashur mentions that the Pitt's military strength is the envy of Ronto,suggesting that Ronto is a significant military power in the Post-War northeastern United States. I wanna look at that a little more closely. Who knows,it might even be Toronto.
London - Just for something different. Can add British stuff to it like Mod and Rocker gangs. Punks etc. I know Fallout has Americana but if they called it Fallout: London they could create whole new lore and interesting game play and characters. After Fallout 4 they could have a reverse colonial story, a group traveling from Boston to the UK. Whatever they chose i will play the game.
You just reminded that I really wanted the next GTA to be set in London, as the only part of GTA V I really enjoyed was the really British pedestrians that popped up every now and then.Silentpony said:
As for the thread topic, I'd like to see something more along the lines of New Vegas. Use a city that has it's own character to it. I'd appreciate somewhere in the South since the cities I've been to down there definitely have their own distinct characteristics.
If I'm to appease those who can't get out of the past, Alaska or Florida. Alaska just for the frozen environment and the site of a massive war. Florida for the Disney, swamps, and gators.
For those who don't mind games evolving, Canada and China. Canada due to its annexation and China because it will be as screwed up as the U.S.

A new engine. I managed to enjoy Fallout 4, but it took a lot of work, and a lot of time spent ignoring obvious cut corners and missed opportunities. Gamebryo has outlived its usefulness, so as long as they use a new engine, they can set it anywhere. If they don't, then honestly I'll just be playing Fallout 4 modded, which by then will be much better than Fallout 5 new.
