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 athis 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 THE [censored] ARE YOU LOOKING AT KIDDO? DON'T TELL ME YOU'VE NEVER SEEN A GUN BEFORE. COME ON, MOVE YOUR ASS! IT'S TIME TO GO

**Put this in the Plot Doc**

thats the message guy above me

Nope I meant Kotako (spelt wrong sorry). NMA started with "FAKE" but changed it's coverage shortly after that. I respect that a lot.

I did that and the rest of the guys agreed with me. While I still believe it's a hoax, that won't stop me from acknowledging there's a tiny possibility it's legit. Just someone clutched the http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/IdiotBall while planning it.

Something I'd like to see in a new Fallout is the ability to somehow 'own' an empty building/area. I often make a random building or spot my camp and store what I need to store there, but it would be good if you could somehow become rooted to that point. Have an element of customisation. I think it'd play well in a hardcoe mode where you could only perform certain activites at the camp.

I don't know how, but I'd like to see this in a way that isn't just: here's your home. It has a cupboard. You can make the cupboard pink, awww.

Perhaps if there was some option in a terminal that you could select after cracking it, that set it as your 'home'.

This really sounds like something Desmond Lockheart could say.

Yeah and you could upgrade security to prevent NPCs raiding the home etc.

I don't wanna look to much into this... But didn't Desmond refer to the player as "kid" a lot? Something demeaning like that.

Some examples of his dialogue:

"My story? Tell you what, kid. My story's a lot like a http://fallout.gamepedia.com/Deathclaw_%28Fallout_3%29 tongue. It's long, messy, and you don't want to get too personal with it. Understand?"

"What's the difference between you and me, kid? What makes a gifted killer like yourself into a rock-hard bastard like me? The answer is TRAINING you ignorant [censored]! I've got a hundred years of experience on you, and don't you forget it!"

If its a legit thing then it's starting to sound like the " tutorial " opening to FO 4 with Desmond as the guy who teaches new players the basics. Should be interesting. Hope it's true.

What I thought. Some really great quotes as well.

i just looked up Desmond Lockheart on fallout wiki an found that his role is listed as " Time traveling jewish circus performer looking to do the same thing he does everynight, "take over the world" proof http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Desmond

Edit: someone fixed it, now it says Scientist

Well, Desmond is one of the oldest living people in Fallout, and the Lone Wanderer is a young advlt... so yeah.

I look forward to working with Desmond again. Friggin awesome character.

When I opted for the Legion on New Vegas,

I thought, what about the other Multi Billionaires? And that's when I remembered about Desmond. When Fallout 4 is released, he will be a key character, I just know it. He is one of the Wastelands only hope!

Man, I love Desmond if only for his voice actor. He voiced the Dunmer males in Morrowind, and they had the raspy voice of a thousand chain smokers. Hearing him again as a ghoul was quite a lot of fun.

With all this talk of Desmond, I really miss Harold. It's a shame he won't be around anymore. I hope in the new one we find out he had offspring of some kind.

I go all in and say that the site is fake (those redundant cryptic messages get tiresome and the first countdown was lackluster), however Bethesda plans to announce at the VGA anyway and welcomes the hype they're not responsible of (of all signs we got, Three Dog guy's tweets as well as this new ad saying 'surprises to be announced' by bethesda seem to be the most legit).

Any further news on Survivor 2299 being possibly real or fake ?

in a word, no. but based on the fact the website repeatedly went down before and after the countdown I highly doubt it's real. I just can't see a major game studio not buying enough bandwidth to keep their site up.

Nope. But if it is fake, someone paid a lot to screw people around on the internet.

Beths absolute silence regarding the site pushes the balance towards real. Beth would have made it clear long ago if it was fake.

And you underestimate the popularity of Beths games.

this, with a custom fast travel point and only one loading screen would be ideal.

And just for a laugh i would like to paint my power armour so I can be a spess mehreen, For teh Emprah

That is what I thought, too.

For the record, I am quite ready for a new Fallout game. So, Bethesda, whenever you feel ready, please proceed.
