Fallout 4: Speculation, Suggestions & Ideas - Thread #55

We could have those silver spoons depicting a specific location. And silver would probally be valuable still so at least one guy could buy them you for rather high prices.
that would be awsome thing to collect\

So a token?
Aaaaand why would that be better than a holodisk?
Makes more sense with a holodisk than a random coin.
Even in New Vegas it felt ridiculous with the platinum chip.
One that depicts the implant on it, and it would be similar to the bobbleheads in their uniqueness.

How about just a different colored holotape? Like a black tape instead.

I'd like to see the use of backpacks/bags to carry your stuff around in.
Also maybe a moving safe house like a van/car or bus etc..where u can store your items sleep and travel around in.(You'd have to buy fuel and that for your car/van so)

Or. OR! And this is really crazy, I know, it could just be a holotape?
If you want a pointless collectible then ask for stamps or something this time around.
But an implant is an implant, if an autodoc is designed to perform one of those and only needs the schematic for it then why would the designers for said schematic colour it or produce it as a coin with some fancy picture on it?

Quite frankly I'd prefer it if we didn't have Implants, SPECIAL, Gain or Gifted and for any collectibe to remain just that, a collectible.

I'm going to have to ask you to calm down, just go lie down and take a breather, it will all be okay in a little bit.

If it has collectibles (which I'm sure it will) giving money to collect all of them is the best way to go.

I definitely think New Vegas would have had Elvis Music if they could have, but to be able to use his music you must spend lots of money. I doubt they would spurge for a couple songs, but we can hope thought right? :)

I think it would be awesome if you could sneak around like in the metal gear solid games and I'm not talking bout using a stupid box. Going prone position, going under benches or tables, being able to roll when sneaking, Mabey even hiding in lockers, bathroom stalls. Stuff like that I think that would be sweet and add a while different world to the sneak skill.

You know everyones idea's are great & definitly realistic, that is very good, usually you will have people wanting things in a game that doutfully will happen for whatever reason.

But, I am going to haft to stretch the bar a little on what would be great & almost want to say expected in Fallout 4. I loved Skyrim, still do, but I was a bit disappointed in things like how the Dragons flew in the air, it was very not fliud I guess you could say. They flew like a 6 year old kid was holding a airplane in his hand, very jerky, the flying just wasn't as seamless as I took from the trailer or expected. You know but if that is one of my only complaints about Skyrim then that is probably a good sign. If I was personally playing Skyrim on console I would have quit long ago and started playing Kingdoms of Alamur. Thanks to the Creation Kit things like the horrible tacky looking uncreative (or lazy) Dark Brotherhood armor can be fixed.

So yea Skyrim, great game, definitly things that could have been better but again most or all of that is fixed with the Creation Kit on PC. Console players should seek Kingdoms of Alamur in my opinion

The Combat: Fallout 1 & 2 has better combtat then Fallout 3 & New Vegas and it is a isometric turn based older then dirt rpg. This is 2012, lets see some bullet holes, lets have a fully working unarmed system, counters, parrying, special moves etc. No this is not Assassins Creed or Darksiders, or whatever other action adventure game but this is a game that since Fallout 3 & Oblivion and now Skyrim has been on the same engine. The Skyrim engine is a modified version of the gamebryo from what I can tell myself and have heard, yes Fallout 3 was fun & New Vegas more so, but I think its time they gave Fallout 4 a completey fresh new engine ip or improve the look & feel of combat drastically with what they already have.

The Graphics: Skyrim plays beatifully on console, very well optimised, at least on the 360 in my experience, as a matter of fact I play Skyrim on a high end PC but if I could mod Skyrim on console I would almost rather play console because of the comfortable living room & TV scenario. Oblivion played like a utter worthless piece of garbage on the 360 and probably the PS3 for that matter, at launch anyway. So with all that said, Skyrim looks great & plays well on console, they are 10 year systems or something like that after all, but they can up the graphics on Fallout 4 if by just even a little, especially if they go with a new graphical approach on Fallout 4 (new engine). I am not expecting a graphical difference like with Oblivion compared with Skyrim, which was a impressive change but I do expect something... Something. I don't expect to be disappointed on the graphical side of things with Fallout 4 as animations & over all gameplay matter to me the most.

The Gameplay: Make just different, in some kind of way, yea bring the VATS back sure, but do something different. I do expect a graphical improvement with Fallout 4 of course but I expect something different, something better with the gameplay in Fallout 4. Dare I say innovation but I don't know what is possible & isn't im not a game designer.

You know other then that, I am not a game designer, but the dead lines for games seem to always hinder something. It is hard to depict & come up with what is bad design, what is lazyness, what is bad directing, what is possible and not possible for this company to do with there resources & time. I wonder sometimes like "I know that they knew they could have done this specific thing better, I wonder why they didn't", and not always but definitly questions like that run through my mind with some games.

So other then that, I probably couldn't say anything that Bethesda or a poster here already hasn't said or thought of. Uh bring back .45 cal Tommy Guns and let me run a Casino or business there you go.

1. NEIN!

2. Si, I don't think we should get any magic bonuses from collecting things (apart from implant holotapes in that case) but who'd pay for the collectible and for what reason?
I suppose a "hunter" who's bragging about how good he is while he actually just sits on his lazy ass and buys other's trophies could work.
Like having Legendary creatures in Fallout 4, and then giving their heads to him so that he can brag about how he killed them, for a price of course.
And then at the end having the option to call him out on it so that everyone knows he's a fraud. :D

Exactly, no bonus for collecting bobble heads, And stuff like that, with all the collectibles first I want tons of stuff to collect and put them up in my house. Second I don't wanna sell them or get anything in compensation besides the having fun of collecting stuff.

Hallucinations. One of the things I really enjoyed about Fallout 3. I think they should be extended. We should have hallucinations when on drugs, going though withdrawal, heat stroke and concussed.

Wild Wasteland like hallucinations would be great. Say you fall asleep in a special area and when you wake there is a man there. You have a conversation with him. He asks if he can be your companion. Even if you already have a companion you can still say yes. As you leave the area, the man just disappeares.

Can take that further. If you go back to the area where you slept you find a skeleton that wasn't there before, with it you find a note about being betrayed by his friend and left for dead.

I think so. When I fist joined the forum I posted something like over a hundred ideas for special random encounters, and most would require hallucinations.

Such as. You walk into an old school house. There are child size skeletons by the desks. As you walk through the room you start to hear children laughing and a teacher telling them to be quiet. Then you find yourself sitting in one of the desks. You look around and you see school kids, then you notice you are a kid. There is a teacher telling the class to be quiet. You notice Halloween decorations throughout the class room.

Then you hear http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP61LI41mgs&feature=related the teacher panics, the kids panic. Told to go under the desk. There is a blinding flash and your thrown against the back wall. You snap out of it, looking around you see burn shadows on the walls and kids under their desks.

A copy of duck and cover by the teachers body.

Even without the hallucinations, the class room of skeletons and burn shadows would be good.

Ayeah. We need more Wild Wasteland.
Should we start a new thread for Wild Wasteland ideas specifically? (That should have been in NV or what should be in future games)
Could give Bethesdian ideas and maybe we could get more than two dozen occasions.

Could run it by a mod to see if its ok. Might have to wait till the game is announced. When we know the location it would be easier to come up with idea, at least for me.

I wish that you wouldn't have to give up other traits to take it too, it should be more of a game play option like hardcoe mode.

Yeah we should start a thread but maby not just Wild wasteland stuff but also random encounters in general would be a good topic.

Why? With the coins there could be slots in the AutoDoc, and the coins could then pop up on it with a small light on them.

And I want random encounters with wild wasteland.

To satisfy the horror buffs I think a great idea would be to have a few very rare dangerous chems that gave hallucinations that are really scary and startling. One idea that would scare the crap out of me is similar to "The Road Virus Heads North" which is still one of the creepiest short stories I have ever read.

The brain hallucinatiion in point lookout was by far the greatest thing in F03 and NV, I agree more, more more more!!!!!Hallucinations about giant chickens (young guns) and a huge alien invasion, heck that could be the start of the game, you are hopped up on bathroom chems and freak out for a week then get sent to a hospital!
