i can easily see wastelanders and raiders using very innacurate but extremely deadly matchlocks (firing conventional, modern ammunition, not black powder based paper rounds).

A Matchlock is a weapon that uses Black Powder and a lit piece of string "match" used to light the powder and fire the projectile. What you are descibing is what is known as a "Zip Gun."

Whatever the game storyline is for Fallout 4 I just want five things.

1. That the game continues after youfinished the main story quest. With and add-on or without.

2. Bring back the Chinese Assualt Rifle, Combat Shotgun, and Mirelurks.

3. Make the Map as big as you can.

4. Make your Misc items come up as pictures of what they actually are, instead of the scrap metal icon

5. Give the game that Wasteland, Post-Nuke, everyone barely survived, crazy creature, raider parties, vault dwelling, goul hateing, super mutant infested, Caravan running, Nuka-Cola drinking, radiaton sickness, buildings crumbling, buying every piece of ammo you can buy with your 200 bottle caps FEEL!

I know that every Fallout fan worth their salt wants that!

I know that every Fallout 3 fan worth their salt wants that!

Fixed for you

Edit: Also your signature, the Narrator for Fallout 3 is Ron Perlman, he has narrated all the Fallout Games.

id like to see NY as an active war zone betwwen the bos and some other faction. but then again im pretty sure nyc would be completely gone because its probably a huge target for nuclear strike

I didn't see that smile in there. I know Ron Pelrman is the narrorator. But he is also known as the Narrorator for Fallout, his title.

And don't be a smart alec and edit my posts if you know what I'm talking about. That's not not cool!

[Jonathan Braz]

OT:I see the message creep up in some threads.. People expecting Bethesda to give us info on a new Fall Out on the E3..
While I'm not a business annalist I'll use a well educated guess and common sense.. We will hear nothing about a new Fall Out..
Why? All of Bethesda's attention will be focused on two titles:
Skyrim: Dawnguard
and Dishonered..
Dawnguard is a major release for them as far as DLC is concerned given all the copies Skyrim has sold.. they will market this like it is a major title..
Dishonered will also get a lot of attention they need (as a studio) a breakout hit of one for one of their 2nd party partners.

On topic:
No to regular weapon crafting.
Improvised weapons are OK, but balance them...

You said any Fallout fan worth their salt would want your suggestions. I doubt that highly, maybe Fallout 3 fans would want them, but not fans of the series as a whole.

1. That the game continues after youfinished the main story quest. With and add-on or without. (no)

2. Bring back the Chinese Assualt Rifle, Combat Shotgun, and Mirelurks. (No, Yes, Dont really care)

3. Make the Map as big as you can. (as long as the rest of the game has good writing, good plot, good character and choices and consequences, the map can whatever size they want)

4. Make your Misc items come up as pictures of what they actually are, instead of the scrap metal icon (Agree)

5. Give the game that Wasteland, Post-Nuke, everyone barely survived, crazy creature, raider parties, vault dwelling, goul hateing, super mutant infested, Caravan running, Nuka-Cola drinking, radiaton sickness, buildings crumbling, buying every piece of ammo you can buy with your 200 bottle caps FEEL! (You don't really understand Fallout that well do you, it's been over 200 years since the war, people move on, New Vegas did it right while Fallout 3 did it soooo wrong, in Fallout 3 everyone acts like the war just happened, the water is still irradiated for some reason, buildings are still standing after 200 years of neglect, Super Mutants shouldn't have even been in Fallout 3. Seriously Fallout 3 really screwed a lot of things up when it comes to Fallout)
I know that every Fallout fan worth their salt wants that! (No they don't, just Fallout 3 fans want that.)

I don't know if you have played Fallout or Fallout 2. The Hub, Junktown, Shady Sands, The Glow, Boneyard, all of those places have that "Fallout 3" feel to them as you would call it. In the Fallout series it's all about suvival and my 5th tip that Fallout 4 should be. In all of the fallout's that is what it is supposed to be about.

Which game one game of the year then? Fallout 3
Bethesda knows how to make a game like fallout. Take The Elder Scrolls for instance. A RPG is about choices, the feel of the game, and variety.

All of the Fallouts before New Vegas had that. Obsidian just didn't live up to its fallout rep in Fallout New Vegas.

And Styles you are really starting to tick me off.

[Eve(G)]

And you are making me laugh a lot.

[Robert Jr]

I have played Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics. They aren't "the world ended yesterday with super mutants running wild" crap of Fallout 3. The people of those games have moved on and started rebuilding.

I don't give a rats ass that Fallout 3 won game of the year. Doesn't make it the greatest Fallout game of all time in my books. Don't care if you think it is, what bugged me is that you pretty much said I am not a Fallout fan because I don't want Fallout 4 to be just like Fallout 3.

Obsidian did an awesome job with Fallout New Vegas and it stays true to what Fallout and Fallout 2 have done. I find it funny you asked me if I had play those games, cause it seem to me you haven't. Those games aren't all about survival.

Fallout and TES are two different series and should stay that way.

[Russell Davies]

Allen it really sounds like you've never played Fallout 1 and 2.

Obviosly we have different views on this subject. I'm not saying your not a Fallout fan. I just let the Fixed it for you, Ron Perlman thing get out of hand and cloud my judgement. This thread is about suggestions for Fallout 4 not fighting or about Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas.

Sorry. My fault

[Jacob Phillips]

No problem, I was kind of being an ass with the Ron Perlman thing, and I would have left your suggestions alone but I took it as "your not a fan if you don't like them."

Anyways no hard feelings

[Charlotte Buckley]

just joined the site to post in this thread , im 32 years old and i play a lot of video games as i work swing shift and my family is a sleep a lot of the time im wide awake, i have FO3 GOTY and NV ultimate .... waiting on the ultimate edition was very tuff !!! i have 88 hours in new Vegas and over 100 in fo3.

I never considered my self a FPS a platformer or an rpg player , i like good games ! no matter what it is !

So anyway that's me and here is my opinion on what Fallout 4 needs to be ...

Please Please fix the lagging and freezing ! once and hour i have to hold the power button in on the ps3 and reboot because everything slows down so bad its unplayable . this was with both fo3 and NV , FO3 i was unable to complete point look out because the girl that was suppose to remove my scar was in a church and if i got with in 100 yards of the front gate my game would LOCK up, yes ive mastered the R2L2 Square at reboot and pushing the ps3 button in game when issues arise, but having to restart once and hour really puts me off on the game as i have a big plan on where im at and where im going. I dont care if you put little gay fairies in fall out 4 just please make the game to where i can play it with out it freezing. i didnt even play once of the dlcs on fo3 because my game got so buggy its was more trouble than it was worth. and now with NV i beat the game then went back to before the dam because you made it to where we cant continue in the world after the end , and i took off into the dlcs , i did honest heats first , the one with no vendors with more than 1500 caps walked out of the with like 900 lbs of stuff once i beat it and fast traveled to gun runners and wiped the bot out of his 8000 caps waited 3 days and did it over and over (fast traveling over burdened was a great idea !) so now im rich and have 1/2 of my skills 100 and so i took off for the old world blues as soon as it equiped the gown right at the beginning the game locked up and i shut it off and haven't played sense i was excited for it and it took me right out of the game. i can play black ops for 8 hours strait on MP with no issues so its not my system.

1. Make the game playable no frame rate thats snails pace, don't encourage me to use companions when having one decreases the amount of playtime before issues requiring a reboot. (ever been over burdened with a broken leg, carrying a heavy weapon and have the frame rate drop to where its only processing for 1 second every 15 seconds and have to walk from the quick travel spot to your home?) that's why i have a rubber band by my controller lol

2. less emphasis on companions the dog is good can live with other the others and there issues or them taking off with my stuff or not using the good stuff i give them , or them getting in my way in battle

3. playable full map after the "final mission"

4. grey out areas undiscovered on the map , sometimes there are markers for undiscovered locations and i cant tell if ive been there or not

5. about the COD controls someone else mentioned all i want is R3 to melee i dont want to have to select a knife or melee weapon, i attack afar and if they charge i want to melee them by pushing R3 (even when hot keying a melee weapon the transition takes too long when your being charged)

6. Crafting : campfires svck and so does everything you craft at them, FO3 work benches were good , in NV they are worthless along with most items you make on them. all i need are stimpaks and weapon repair kits. Reloading bench worthless i hate them, carring lead and everything is a waste I dont like any of these aspects in NV. even in FO3 the items you make in work benches other than bottle cap mines are all worthless everyone of them has more powerful counterparts

7. Stimpaks: super stimpaks need to go away , auto stimpaks are awesome ! only good to come from crafting (and weapon repair kits)

8. NPCs are too gabby in conversation i just keep selecting [barter] . [speech] etc type answers until they shut up then look at my quests to see whats new.

9. I WANT TO FLY , Jet Pack Power Armor PLEASE !!!

10. All power armor should have a rebreather bulit in so i dont have to keep switching

11. under water enemies with you having only melee offense (R3)

12. more treasures under water

13. love the pip boy but would like it to be High Definition

14. Nicer areas like the one in fo3 with the talking tree, the wasteland is xxxx amount of years after the war , some of these communities would of cleaned stuff up a little

15 i only use 4 weapons in FO NV , 45.70 scoped revolver all mods,12.7mm smg all mods antimaterial rifle all mods, mercenary grenade rifle extended barrel , ive found most other weapons inferior and i can do anything i want in any area with enough stimpaks. give me better weapons nothing matches these 4 in NV...... i travel at 89lbs with a max of 350

16. ammo types can go away yes i use the explosive ammo a lot but hurt my self alot with it, and robbing our up hot key svcks !! give me my hot keys back the diangle ones are too tuff to use mid combat

17. dont give us multiple level 50 perks make them 47,48,49,50 so we are not stuck only being able to have 1.

18. less AP costs in vats, i take all perks to get more ap or to use less ap , would be better if you guys would chill out a little on AP costs

19. remove the "you cannot fast travel from this location" i didnt want to loose my loot in honest hearts i had at the southern passage. when i got to the cave and daniel wanted me to blow it up i thought i wouldnt be able to come back , and it wouldnt let me fast travel to the southern passage , it took me 1 hour real life time to go to the southern passage and get my stuff and the dude with the bandages wouldnt help me carry it so i over burdened walked all the way back to daniel just for me to blow it up and be cut scened back to the southern passage ... DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . Dont let me do something like this again LOL

20. i want to start with a dog like I AM LEGEND. and have to make my way with no other people helping me. im the LONE WANDERER FOR A REASON... RIGHT?

love the game hate the glitches, ill preorder FO4 and im going to try to play NV old world blues then lonesome roads then im done as i cannot tolerate rebooting once an hour to keep the game flowing

thanks

[Gemma Woods Illustration]

21. Give me nameable thumb tacks on my pip boy map. i want to be able to manually create thumb tacks to put on areas like DOCTOR , VENDOR and etc so i dont have to keep a real life note book on areas

22. Pip Boy Light Upgrades !!

23. ability to drop glowing bread crumbs good for when in labyrinths or confusing building/vault layouts ( i drop tin cans now)

24. more use of the ability to move things , i did find a crate on the top shelf and moved it down to find an item in it , this has only happened to me once tho

[Jamie Moysey]

Umm hi. If anything bring back ads from fonv.

You'll love Old World Blues and Lonesome Road, they're hard but definitely worth it. Not as hard as Dead Money.

I hated the games freezing and lagging on me, if it weren't for that I'd probably still be playing it from the first time I got the games.
I too became proficient at holding the PS3 button to reboot. lol

I'm sure they'll use a new engine like Skyrim, which is pretty solid when it comes to avoiding lag.

In New Vegas, I had the riot shotgun and was the best weapon for it's overall power and low AP costs. You should invest in them along with the Shotgun perks, I became nearly a GOD with that weapon.

I also thought about jet packs but it would mimic San Andreas, so I wouldn't want that really. I'd rather much prefer vehicles along with mounted combat.

Maybe a gyrocopter like in Mad Max.

[Gracie Dugdale]

Allen it really sounds like you've never played Fallout 1 and 2.

I honestly started to think he was trolling, especially after that 3rd post, and while that would annoy me, the supposed truth saddens me.

[Jamie Moysey]

PA Jet-packs would be cool esp. APA Tesla Mk 2 variants. However the Jet-pack should have limited boosts and a special recharge station; taking 24 hours to recharge after exhausting a days worth of fuel.

More PA enemies, had to lay off my Anti-Materiel rifle because there wasn't enough work after the Sloan deathclaws.

A Matchlock is a weapon that uses Black Powder and a lit piece of string "match" used to light the powder and fire the projectile. What you are descibing is what is known as a "Zip Gun."

no, i'm pretty sure a regular, modern bullet can be fired with a slow match, by heating the primer.

[Natasha Biss]

One skill that they should bring back from fallout and fallout 2.

Gambling!

I hope they put some kind of casino in Fallout 4. Complete with all the casino games from New Vegas and add Texas Hold'em and Craps.

I played last night , locked up and had to shut my system off 4 times the first 30 mins of old world blues then it was ok for some amount of hours (lost track of time started playing at 10 pm and got done at 4 am lol ) Man there's a ton of loot, and my 4 guns are near garbage here same as the dog gun they give you ...yes my guns are at 100 still junk, lucky i came across the missle launcher as i never used it on the regular game i have a crap-ton of ammo. still takes 2 missiles direct hit to kill a mr. gutsy
