This thread is so that we can keep all the discussion in one place.

This topic is for a friendly discussion of ideas and suggestions for Fallout 4. 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 freely. 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.

A sprinting mechanic damnit

Was waiting on the new thread to post some things, so here we go:

- As much weapon variety as New Vegas. Fallout 3 suffers from having too few weapons, especially compounded by the bullet sponges that Broken Steel has.

- AK is all the gun you need. I really missed the Chinese Assault Rifles from Fallout 3 in New Vegas, and although today the modding community has picked up that loss by putting in new AKs aswell as reimplementing the Chinese AR, I would love to have a good AK-47 to fight with in Fallout 4 from day one.

- I'd also like the player character's background be a fair bit unknown so that we can make up our own backgrounds. New Vegas was pretty good in that regard, and I really disliked my background being dictated to me in Fallout 3.

I think the reason there was no chinese assault rifle is because there was really no use for it with all the other weapons. It was really recoil-ly and just kind of spray and pray like in Fallout 3 which I didn't like at all.

Yeah, I hated the way Fallout 3 handled assault rifles. One of the first mods I downloaded was one to rebalance those things to act more like a actual assault rifle.

New Vegas was a good model on how to handle those things, so I hope it persists into Fallout 4.
