This thread is so that we can keep all the discussion, rumors and speculation 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 can see a FO4 announcement coming for E3 2014. Of course, a release would almost certainly be a 2015 or 2016 launch.

I see a E3 announcement and a late november/early december release. Why? They did say the cycle would be shorter this time.

E3 announcement certainly seems plausible, but having a release within months of it's reveal would seem a bit odd, at least for Bethesda. Skyrim had about a year from reveal to release, Fallout 3 had, like, 4 years, and New Vegas had, I think, a year and a half, or so.

It just doesn't seem likely to have release that soon after an announcement.

Maybe, maybe not. As I recall, Beth stated prior to Skyrim's release, that they wanted to shorten the timeframe between announcement and release even further than they did with TES 5. Whether they actually do this is anyone's guess. My personal opinion on the matter is that I honestly hope and pray they choose not to set another hard date for release and stick to it no matter the cost.
