I just finished a 3 week Fallout 3 binge, and it's just as I remembered: much better than NV. I recall how everyone was going apeshit because "It's like Las Vegas, but in a wasteland!" I GOT NEWS FOR YOU: Have you even been to Vegas? It's ALREADY in a wasteland: no apocalypse required!

F3 is quite a bit more open and free roaming and had far more urban combat than NV, so definitely that. New game engine is a given. Public domain exists for a reason, so take advantage of it and load up on free music.

Going outside the US would be a cool thing (not necessary), but could require more research.

I want a better setting. Fallout 3 had this mostly right because it was atmospheric and got across the desolation of the wasteland, but it was incredibly boring to look at by my third playthrough. New Vegas couldn't have gotten this more wrong. I realize that Nevada is supposed to have become more developed than the Capital Wasteland, but there was no atmosphere to convey this. One thing that both games got wrong was that there wasn't a speck of scenic variety to be found. It was just dirt and weeds; or in New Vegas' case, sand and weeds.

I also hope that the shooting mechanics will get better. Firing a weapon that isn't a sniper rifle feels clunky beyond belief, even with a skill level of 100 in guns.

Oh, and if they could work on the load times, that would be great.

plenty of side quests like in FO3 that don't link to the main quests,as well as a larger soundtrack so we aren't hearing the same song twice in 3 minutes.i guess a different engine would be nice if only because it would make things more interesting to look at.and a wide selection of weapons like in NV.FO3's selection was so small,but i don't know about any of the other Fallout games.also,boss fights (that's one thing i DO know about the older Fallout titles,they had boss fights).and i guess that's all i need to be happy

Time for a long list.

Dual Wielding weapons. Small arms and melee. I really want to use a shishkebab with a machete or a 9mm, or even two other guns, probably as a perk that lets you do this.

An area with weather, they showed they can do it in Honest Hearts.

A pet creature that is not a dog. I WANT A FUCKING PET NIGHTSTALKER DAMMIT.

More higher level perks. They cap out at 30 in New Vegas, but I don't want anything like the Nuke perk in 3.

Companions for more than one faction. There are no real characters that I know of in New Vegas that are accepting of being on the Legions side.

Even more awesome DLC. They did a great job with all of the New Vegas ones.

A character more like the Lone Wanderer, as in one that is a completely blank slate, or someone with set past and has some people who are friends with him. I do hate how the Courier has a past that doesn't even come up. Sure you can say that he doesn't remember them because the hold bullet in head-itis, but still the fact that no one from your past shows up, when you probably lived in the Mojave, and no one but Ulysses has any connection to you and he is going to be in DLC only, kinda irks me.

The ability to be ghoulified or start as a ghoul.

There, that is all I can think of right now.

EDIT: I thought of another one. More morally gray quests.

Less clunky shooting. Whenever i hit the Shoot button, i want bullets to come out immediatly. Alor of the time, it lags.

For weather, get a mod. Easy as that. I want vehicles, destroyable environments, better gunplay, and it to be not at all like FNV.

More holotapes. I'm extremely fascinated by the Fallout universe's history and would love to hear different stories of people during that time period.

Also; a main character who is more personally connected to the storyline and has a past. Fallout 3 did this well, but NV's protagonist was incredibly flat and unmotivated. Why should I want revenge? I honestly did not care about the whole shooting me in the head thing, they never gave me a reason to. I love that the courier is getting more of a background story with the add-ons, but all of it feels as if it should have been the focus of the main game from the get-go.

Eh, who am I kidding? I'm going to play the hell out of any new Fallout game that comes out, even if it doesn't have exactly what I want in it. I am a love-struck fool for this universe.

Better Engine, Durp
A London Setting or a Paris setting, that would be interesting to go to places around there.
Better Moral meter, no Reputation meter
A faster way of transport, besides fast-travel. Like a mount, horse, radscorpion, death claw.
A better Introduction, New Vegas' sucked

Yeah, not much to ask for really if you think about it. It all exists just needs application. Well except the awesome Settings.

To all those suggesting a setting outside of the U.S., no it's NEVER going to happen. Never. If you'd know anything about the lore you'd know why. I honestly cannot fathom how idiotic that would be.

On-Topic: Obsidian Entertainment. They know how to actually make a good Fallout game, unlike Bethesda.

Ditch the karma meter in favor of reputations. It's a much better system and the karma meter seemed tacks on to give the ending minor changes.

Have Fallout 3's level of interesting and fun exploration and New Vegas level of interesting and compelling story.

Have more unique weapons.

Ditch Gamebryo. The creation engine looks far better.

Free-roam after the ending. There really was no reason they couldn't add a post-game.

Ability to play as a ghoul or super mutant'd be cool, but not something I'd be clamoring for.
