Where do you want the next Fallout to be set?

[Muspelheim]

Fallout is dead to me if it's in Bethesda's hands now.

I'm afraid the Fallout series is long-dead for you, then.

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.

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.

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!!*

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: New York, so the teaser trailer and main opening cinematic can open to this:


So, imagine the song beginning and zooming out of the PipBoy of a dead Vault Dweller: "Start spreadin' the news, I'm leavin' today..." A tour around the ruined rooms showing the quintessential Fallout-era posters, before zooming out to show a decayed Statue of Liberty, as "New York, New York..." fades into the howling wind, to be replaced by a foreboding orchestral track, and a chap in power armour.

Fade to black... 'Fallout 4' appears.

Yeah.

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 bombs

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.

I vote for upper Mid West.

 

[verdant monkai]

MY BIN that's where the third one is

Cardiff (resident) would be funny or New Castle or some other scummy British city.

 

[silent-treatment]

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.

 

[Emiscary]

The Moon. And yes, I'm being serious.

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.

 

[Impluse_101]

Fallout Soviet Russia.
The warmest nuclear winer hotspot.

 

[albear]

Fallout: England

Wales and Scotland could be Expansions

 

[GundamSentinel]

Russia, the UK (not necessarily London), Australia or China would seem great to me. Another USA title could be okay, but not really imaginitive. The rest of the world existed during the 50s as well.

 

[kgpspyguy]

The Canadian border would work, after all the U.S had just annexed Canada before the bombs fell.

 

[odanhammer]

Actually rather then a joke this time , i imagine the next game would work well with the commonwealth .
You start out much like Fallout 3 , but rather your an android being built and taught things , however your progammer added a few extra codes which over time starter to make you question things. When the time is right you are taken away from the commonwealther via the railroad.
Thats were things start ... and you decide which side to fight for.

 

[Marcus Kehoe]

Fallout South America, I want some radioactive tigers.

 

[RustlessPotato]

Fallout Belgium !!!! xD

Land of Beer, Chocolate and Child Molesters ! And we only improved chocolate to get to the children !

 

[Headsprouter]

New York would be cool. For all those saying Alaska, it would be boring as shit in Alaska actually some kind of mutated Caribou would be pretty cool.

To expand on the anti-Alaska argument, I think we saw enough snow in Skyrim....

I don't know much about the states of America, so I'm gonna say Australia.

If Fallout 4 is set there, everyone is gonna die. Mutant dingos, crocodiles (maybe a combo....DINGODILE!!), kangaroos and emus.

 

[Headsprouter]

Fallout: England

Wales and Scotland could be Expansions

What about Northern Ireland? We count, too! Sorta.....

 

[Durgiun]

Fallout: Brazil.

Admit it, you'd love to explore the favelas of a ruined Rio de Janero.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Maybe Fallout Texas. It would be like a post-apocalypic western! Herding brahmin across the toxic Rio Grande, having settlements built around oil derricks, getting invaded by Mexico, holding out in the Alamo against mad patriotic hillbillies, fighting giant mutated crocodiles in the swamps, (they could be standins for deathclaws!) Awesome.

You'd also have the Nasa headquarters in Houston, which could be used to form the main plotline about the space programme the government had established, and it's exact relation to the vaults.

So, basically no change to how Texas is now, then? That might even make it nicer.

I kid, I love my state. Though, that would be an annoyingly massive game world. The Capitol and New Vegas were all single large metropolitan areas, and Texas kind of lacks a single cohesive one, spreading ours out to far. Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas/Fort Worth, El Paso, Lubbock, each with at least about a hundred miles inbetween. Bit large, really.

I like this idea of New York, New York, though. Yeah, the city is overdone, but the already-destroyed city, with recovering skyline, would be interesting to see, roam about, and get ribboned by deathclaws.
