This topic is for a friendly discussion of ideas and suggestions for Fallout 4. This thread is so that we can keep all the discussion in one place. We all have opinions about what the next game should have and should not have, each of us has the right to express that opinion. There are points we agree on and points we do not agree on. This means that people are going to disagree with you on some things. Accept that and move on. No need to beat your point so far into the ground that no one wants to look at it any more.

At moderator discretion, threads about specific and distinct topics as they relate to FO4 and the rest of the Fallout series may be acceptable in the Fallout Series forum. General idea/suggestion topics for a future Fallout game will either be closed, or moved to this one.

This thread should be used to discuss items you'd like to see in a future game, gameplay tweaks, quest ideas, things you hope are not in the next game and so on. If you want to discuss major issues, use a separate topic - such as the discussion about adding multi-player or co-op play, which already has a thread. Please search first to see if there is an active/recent thread on a particular topic.

Something to note. Discussions of Child Killing is not allowed on these boards. Don't even bring it up in this thread. It won't happen in any future game from Bethesda, so there is no reason to even discuss it. If you post about this subject, you may be Warned and or Banned from the boards for doing so.

This is also not a thread to discuss current or past Fallout Games, other than to mention an aspect of the game you want to see included, or not included, in a future Fallout game.

WHat Guns do you guys think need to make reapperences in Fo4? I think about every gun from New Vegas, (about every gun..not all) and from Fo3 I wanna see the Assault rifle and Chinese assault rifle and infiltrator make a reapperence.

Well then, I would like see more fighting arena's in poor areas of the game.

The wasteland needs entertainment and since gambling and beating the [censored] out of people is easy to do I think fight clubs of the sorts fit.

Every

Single

One

And for the Higher class areas there should be Safaris similar to pliks at PL except I envious slavers selling people to the wealthy and then the let thm go and hunt them.

I mean even the varmit rifle?

Yes. Variety is what counts.

But the could fill that spot with a different better gun, they should bring in an M1 Carbine or and M14!!!

It think an arena would be a great idea or in places with slaves an amphitheater where you could bet on fights.

I would like the return of the gambling skill and a mafia like underground faction that you could work for. Really if people think the mafia has been done too much it could just be an underground criminal faction.

I think the maintaining and cleaning of weapons should be held to the respective skill, if I have an 100 in a weapon skill(I consider skills proficiency and knowledge of said category) then why don't I know how to clean my weapon. This is exclusively for firearms because it wouldn't make much sense for melee weapons.

Please Bethesda don't recycle factions for the next game and just create new ones.

I would also like caravan guard jobs like the ones in the originals for a few extra caps.

Also, I forget who said this awhile ago I think it was Gabriel77Dan but please include all weapons from all fallouts just do we don't have continuity problems. Why different regions of the same country have completely different weapons confuse me.

i think an m14 would work better than the m1 carbine personally, I just don't see an m1 fitting the design of all the other weapons( I know there was a Garand but I think that fits into the style).

I think there should be a town that you live in that you are able too create/upgrade. meaning the people that live there, the defenses of said town. The shops and stores, clinics, bars, and its allegiances/alliance with whom ever. anything as far as revenue to defending the town from enemies. anything from building a safe haven too a slave haven, or some what in between. having the civilians geared up too defend the town or have guards, or both. having something you want too protect and build from the dangers of the waste gives you motivation too go out and do something. its evident that people who play these games love building something unique too them, something different than everybody else. and this a great way too achieve that while allowing people too immerse themselves greatly.

more guns and apparel means more variety. you can never go wrong with having more. as long as each weapon, armor or cloth has its own style and something special/unique.

An Arena. you know the people want on. come on just give it too us

Most everything that I would like to see has been said. But I would like to see two things that I have yet to see.

1. For a lack of a better term, "upgrading the wasteland". So many times in Fallout 3 I would want to go and fix things so that DC can become a better place to look at. Example, getting rid of trash and cluder from fallen buildings, fixing light poles, stuff like that. You could have NPCs that can go around and do that, as long as you are able to keep the super mutants and raiders away. It would make me feel a sense of accomplishment, that all my work to save the wasteland was for nothing.

2. Being able to have relationships with NPCs. Relationships that could range from a simple friend, to a wife/husband. I would think that adding a system like that would be able to expand more on character development, to make him/her more of who you want to be in the game.

Arenas and boxing rings would be spectacular. Also the upgrading of towns would work. It reminds me of the solar panels you repair for the boomers.

I don't think All of the weapons need to come back. In regards to the infiltrator, i think weapon mods will take care of that. A silencer on a Chinese rifle would work wonderfully.

Hopefully there wont be GRA weapons So I don't have to waste tons of currency before I realize that i cant use my expensive new mod on my overpriced incompatible weapon.

the thing about relationships though are that Bethesda doesn't have good enough writing to pull them off and in the end it's just a really poor and cheap concept. Also, your guy is supposed to be a wanderer who has to complete his mission and shouldn't have time to settle down.

I really liked how obsidian pulled off the wasteland in terms of progress, in fallout three it didn't look like the wasteland has progressed all that much in 200 years.

Not saying your wrong by any means just what happens when your mission is over. i loved the fact that in fallout 3 i was able to continue playing and do everything else the game had to offer after the main story line. same with Skyrim and Oblivion. I just believe in the fact that everything should be open to everyone's place style.

But, isn't that your chose? To be good, to be evil, to continue the life you know, or to try a new life. There are so many ways to play fallout, that there is not just one way. And that is what I love about fallout. So, adding more options to play is a great thing for me.

Thats true because they would have to bring in an all new cliber , but for the M14 they can just use .308, kinda like they did with the M1 garand ( FONV Name for it : This machine , and the generic one :battle rifle) aand I generally like the M14 better , then the ould add in game gun modifactions you could buy like syntheric stock , scope , uhhh supressor maybe?

Speaking of arenas....Maybe get something like from the pitt? if it is set in boston with the andriod idea maybe g=have androids fight each other for freedom?

and people. more emotion in it, good for the crowd

Just like the slaves were for the Pitt maybe a bit cruel, but ya know, haha whoopsieeee, you should also be able to place bet if your not the one fighting.

Okay first I want to say that I don't think post-ending gameplay isn't a good idea, not that it could never work but I don't think Bethesda could make your choices matter at the end of the game and actually show what your choices have had on the game world and they would also have to write new dialogue for each different ending, if I thought they could pull it off I would have no problem with it I just don't think they can.

The Pitt is forever a favorite location of mine. I'd love for some sort of arena area where they easter egg the famous thunder dome phrase from mad max.."two men enter, one man leaves!"

I could see a droid being the undisputed champ. Until of course the unarmed specialist boxes the droids head in or till the science buff turns it off or reprograms it to fight its way out. Ahh, droid companion!

I alwAys love to participate in arena fights, but then I always run out of opponents to fight and then I can't fight anymore. If they could make an arena with either more then three people to face or an unlimited amount of opponents I would love that, I would still love an arena in there weren't many opponents though.

One can always be a slaver. You can mez characters and make them fight in the arena.

For me personally, I'd love to see more of the reconstruction of the world. It has been a wasteland long enough, so why not show a little green on your travels? Maybe show the reconstruction and growth of the government and the economy around you. Maybe focus on the people of the world, and not so much just a single person's adventures and personal gains.

However, I do love the idea of choices. Fallout is notorious for having a wide array of choices(with karma, of course). Full customization for your character, your house, your life as a whole, and so forth. With this, I think maybe the ultimate goal should becoming the new leader of the Wasteland/world. No more robot presidents, or Enclave getting in the way.

DLC's could include being the president and choosing what to do with your military, and what treaties to approve, or laws for the Wasteland. This could be rather boring, but that's what makes Fallout such a great franchise; choices. It's all up to you how you play and what you do. Maybe you become a criminal, and plot the downfall of the uprising government. Maybe you become president(as I've stated). Maybe you just settle down with Dogmeat and just enjoy your life collecting bobbleheads of our favourite video game icon. It's all up to the player.

These are just some things that came to mind.
