I love how everyone in this forum is bashing Fallout 3, my game of the year and my favorite Fallout (yes, I have played the original and I was bored by them!).
How, really, would a Fallout clone have worked for Fallout 3? The 2d isometric RPG has gone the way of the dodo, and its sad, it really is. But its gone. Its not coming back. And ok, some of what Bethseda did was a bit on the crummy side, but on balance Fallout 3 was a dam good game, whilst maintaining a relatively large amount of the feel of the first couple. Ok, there were some issues, but still..
How about we work in a Brotherhood of Steel expedition to Europe? Now that would be interesting...daviejjd said:

How about Fallout 4 : The Sanctuary. Where you live on an untouched tropical paradise that was left untouched by the nuclear holocaust and you are surrounded by clean food an other people that are just as insanely attractive as yourself.
No?
No?

If you've seen anything about New Vegas, it says that the bombs didn't actaully HIT Las Vegas, but the surrounding area, so the strip shouldn't be destroyed, but it will still be a Fallout in that there is mutation, radiation, and everything else. But New Vegas is supposed to be a still thriving city...RyQ_TMC said:
@orangebandguy: I'm not a Brit, but you've got a point for more reason than one. For instance, I know Liam Neeson's a great actor with an awesome voice and they must've paid a wad to get him, but 200 years after England has probably ceased to exist, and with no trans-Atlantic flights going on as far as I know, how does your character's Dad in Fallout 3 get an English accent? I want to see THAT explained.
My idea is more plot than gameplay oriented:
Martians.
I had a really far out idea for the plot written in a DToid blog that appears to have been deleted. I always wondered if the space race had even happened in the Fallout-verse. Nuclear-propelled rockets would be much faster than chemically propelled ones, and I can't imagine ANY of the powers in the Fallout world signing the test-ban treaties (or having the moral and environmental qualms) that prevented real-world governments from using them. A nuke-powered space fleet would've gotten humans to Mars and beyond a lot faster than we're getting there now. My idea was that the Martians (descendants of my imagined space colonists, not the easter-eggy aliens you encounter scattered throughout the games) return to earth to get nuclear fuel (which, let's assume, Mars lacks). Sort of a takeoff on the "Mars Attacks" theme that was big in the Fifties (which never ended in Fallout). Who knows where a real writer could take the premise?
There'd be some interesting possibilities with this plot point. Might be able to tie in with the Hubologists and their crazy spaceship plan from Fallout 2. And though all contact (or maybe not all, for a late-game twist) would have cut off between Earth and space when the war broke out, from an extraterrestrial vantage point, they would at least be able to tell who shot first, which was (as far as I know) an unknown in Fallout 3.

I'd say no to the hunger thing, considering how fast time goes in that game, as well as the fact that if you have enough food to last the amount of time, you'll be doing a quest you can't fast-travel from (E.G. - Broken Steel DLC quests are very lengthy, and don't let you fast travel, because they all take place in a small area seperated from the rest of the map)and most likely end up overencumbered, or be stuck leaving some heavy, yet phat loots.Exictednuke said:

IMO: What Bethesda failed at doing was realizing that Fallout 3 was not in the TES series.Parallel Streaks said:
Looking back at Oblivion and Morrowind, I can honestly say I believe them to be two of the games with the best in-game lore ever; the gameplay was fitted to them.
But Fallout 3 had the same TES-ish gameplay brought to an environment in which it had no place in. FPS games should feel dynamic, whereas Fallout 3 feels very linear.
I'd like to see what the world is like fifty years after the original fallout. It'd be interesting to see how humanity was faring in the aftermath of a nuclear war.
Yes, because the rest of the world went on to live perfectly normal existances, free of ANY effects of a nuclear war. The buildings would be more intact, but nuclear winter would have screwed with the ecosystems and I'm fairly certain that most of the planet had picked a side by the point the war started, which would have plunged the rest of the planet into world war 3 which, if America is anything to go by, has left the planet unable to make long range radio transmissions...deathsong17 said:
