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.
