Physical retail copy of Fallout 4 that sells for at retailer stores like GameStop, Wal-Mart, Target, and Best Buy to be Digital Rights Management (DRM) free no Steam Works and of course have it ship with G.E.C.K like Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas has don't add subscribe button or any Steam Works buttons on it now sell a Steam version specifically on Steam only and integrate Steam Workshop for Fallout 4 Steam version only but not for the retail boxed physical copies leave those Digital Rights Management (DRM) free please and sell a version on gog.com as well I would gladly buy all 3 versions retail from store, gog.com, and off of Steam.
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is not the solution Digital Rights Management (DRM) hurts the loyal paying customers not the pirates arg ye matey copy protection should cease and never exist on the physical boxed video game copies sold at retailer stores.
Do what CD Projekt RED did to The Witcher 2: Assassin's of Kings offer a Digital Rights Management (DRM) free version on http://www.gog.com/ and at brick and mortar retailer stores like Best Buy, GameStop, Target and Wal-Mart and a Steam Works version specifically on Steam only.
Get rid of the Havok Physics Engine use Nvidia's PhysX Physics Engine Borderlands 2 uses it and it is amazing especially the Liquid/Fluid Simulations and tear-able Cloth Simulations I have no Nvidia graphic card only a AMD/ATI graphic card while I can't play with PhysX on max settings I can play with them on medium settings with no freezing/stuttering issues or performance loss and every other graphical setting I can run on max I just don't like Havok it's terrible and sluggish also Nvidia's PhysX Physics Engine Source (Software) Development Kit (SDK) is free to use for all systems Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 (PS3), Wii, WIi U, and PC.
Or you can just make your own proprietary physics engine made with your own Source Code so that you can release the full Source Code of your own proprietary physics engine that you made for the PC version of Fallout 4.
Oh and release full Source Code and Software Development Kit (SDK) ability so modders on PC can make even more better and bigger mods.
Pretty sure you heard of the OpenMW Team they got a really good plan set out.
https://openmw.org/en/
Here is the most important part for PC gamers who are modders especially modders with programming skills Zenimax Media Inc, Bethesda Softworks, and Bethesda Game Studios please build a brand new video game engine from the ground up for PC with PC gamers in mind with your own proprietary software and middleware software so that you can release the full Source Code for the PC version of Fallout 4 like Id Software does with their PC versions of their video games.
Add support for all 4 Windows versions for the PC version of Fallout 4 Windows XP, Windows, Vista, Window 7, and Windows 8 I do hate Windows 8 certification thing that Microsoft added though :/.
Add support for all 3 DirectX versions DIrectX 9, DirectX 10, and DirectX 11 and DirectX 11 to it's fullest potential with all the DIrectX 11 features such as tessellation and the ability to render Unlimited Particle FX and Nvidia's PhysX physics engine features APEX Clothing, APEX Destruction, and APEX Turbulence.
Crytek's CryEngine 3 can render Unlimited Particles at a time and Crytek said Crysis 3 will have that.
Same goes for Epic Games Unreal Engine 4 although I think they said that Unreal Engine 4 can render over 1,000,000 particles at a time.
1. I want Fallout 4 to have 300 hours of quests and to be open world bigger than Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim combined with 400 places to explore.
2. More animations than ever before ability to repair weapons and armor and to actually see myself in 1st person and 3rd person at work benches stitching clothing and armor together with thread in cloth or leather and pounding out iron, steel or what ever else metal there is with a hammer.
3. More eating Animations I don't want to see NPC's when they drink different types of beverages to drink the same coke bottle when they drink water from a purified water bottle or a dirty water battle see the drinking animation for that or if they drink the different types of Nuka Cola bottles that there are see them drink those with that color same goes for food if they eat bread show bread if it's soup show them eating soup with a spoon or if it's squirrel on a stick, dog meat, or mole rat meat.
4. Please give us a slider bar in the options menu to set the shell casings how many to stay in the world and not disappear example 0-infinite people who have weak PC's can set 0-100 or 0-900 etc and people with very powerful PC's can set it to infinite and to never disappear.
5. Please give us tessellation in the options menu section in the graphics options menu section in the DirectX 11 options menu section of the PC version of Fallout 4 off, low, medium, high, very high, ultra high, maximum.

The PC version of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings has this in the launcher menu under the video and language section but I want this option in the video game itself not in the launcher menu like the PC version of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings and the PC version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
7. Please give us decals in the options menu section in the graphic options menu section in the DirectX 9 options menu in the graphics options menu section, in the DirectX 10 options menu section in the graphics options menu section, and in the DirectX 11 options menu section in the graphics options menu section of the PC version of Fallout 4 off, low, medium, high, very high, ultra high, maximum. The PC version of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings has this in the launcher menu under the video and language sction and the PC version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has this in the launcher menu in the options menu section.
8. Ability to pant and grow crops for food and raise live stock for food.

10. Ability to add modifications to weapons such as changeable butt stocks, changeable barrels, flash lights, grenade launchers for assault rifles, laser sights, scopes, and suppressors (Also known as (AKA) silencers) for all assault rifles, rifles, and pistols.
11. No Marriage.
12. Add companions humans and dogs.
13. No purchasing property it is a wasteland everyone for them self survival of the fittest find bandit, raider hide outs kill them and take over their place and claim it as your home purchase property in towns only.
14. Adoptions (maybe).
15. Do jobs for people.
16. More enemies in the wasteland and more dungeons, caves, etc this goes along with the previous statement I said above to adding 400 places to explore.
17. Do not get rid of repair like in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim make guns get jammed and break and make other weapons dull such as knives and break and sharpen knives once dull.
18. Add geiger counter to detect if water has radiation don't have it show up on HUD and how much RADS it has that's to easy.
19. No enchanted clothing, if it makes sense, fine, but a lab coat does not increase my knowledge of science.
20. Add perks every level.
21. Fill the wasteland with enemies.
22. Let us continue past the main game.
23. Don't remove or merge any skills.
24. Add magical bobbleheads that have skill or stat enchantments.

26. Introduce a perk tree system.
27. Do allow both men and women to wear the same clothes.
28. Do explain how agriculture, production, industry and trade works so that the wasteland is coherent.
29. Focus on quantity of companions and focus on quality.
30. Focus on dungeons.
31. Add the ability to see yourself in 1st person when looking down chest, torso, and legs and see animations for my legs when I am jogging, running, sprinting, and walking.
32. Add dynamic foot pathing so that when I walk on the ground my feet actually touch the ground, floor, terrain and not go through and clip through the ground, bushes, plants, trees, foliage of any type, dead NPC's, animals, creatures, monsters, or anything in the Fallout 4 world I don't like when I see my characters feet go through dead bodies in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. Improve the physics engine and collision boxes.
33. Add spray paint cans so we can spray our armor, clothing, and weapons whatever color we want on them and spray whatever designs we want on them.
34. Zenimax Media Inc, Bethesda Softworks, and Bethesda Game Studios please debug and fix every single bug, clipping issues, exploits, and glitches before releasing Fallout 4 don't do what you did with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and know that the video game is riddled with bugs, clipping issues, exploits, and glitches and release it just because you want to release it on time on a set schedule like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for 11.11.11. I don't want to see Fallout 4 released with a target date goal fix everything before releasing and shipping it. Take your time please. In the end customers will be very happy and pay full price.
DAMN you summed up pretty much everything not just for PC gamers but other users as well... though I doubt its possible for Bethesda to do all that.
