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.

I feel like difficulty and challenge are two things that are very different, and get confused a lot. Perhaps this is not the textbook definition, but I feel like difficulty is simply tedium, length, quantity of work reqired. Challenge is skill. That's what I want. There should be 3 difficulty levels: Casual, Normal, Realistic. In realistic the health of enemies should not go up at all. But the damage should. As should yours. That's what makes requiem great, as well as games like Red Orchestra, Dark Souls etc. You should be able to kill a regular mook quite easily, but get overrun by them and the tension quickly rises. You have to think quick and be on your toes.

Other than that:
-[censored] LEVEL SCALING

-Better quests

-Don't overdo it on the avatar strength

-Respect the fallout lore ffs

-Learn from Obsidian

-Your art is good, keep it up

-No more filler! No more pointless metro tunnels!

-Give your factions and characters even an ounce of character, man.

-No more hand holding and forced story in the main quest please.

Could not agree more with your definition and your idea. This is exactly what FWE did and it is much more fun than vanilla on Hard. Pretty sure I shot a raider in the head a dozen times on hard.

Just an idea, Please don't massacre me. It would be nice to see a Fallout 3 GOTY for the new consoles with 4 ish good size DLC's to purchase that would tie your character into the new Fallout 4. A kinda ME game save transfer idea. It could have a whole new trophie list to shoot for ( some the same). With the updated graphics, much faster frame rate, load times. I think it would be fun especially with a dlc that connects the story line to F 4. It seem this could be put on the market pretty fast since most of the story is written, just reprogramming for the new system. Especially since I think fallout 4 wont be here until fall 2015-16.

Like to agree with Thanatos too, needs to have a more realistic challenge , Fallout Vegas survival mode ++ would get close.
