I thought about some kind of African or Middle-Eastern Fallout, or even an Asian one, like in China or Russia, but I think it might be too drastic of a change for the series as a whole. The whole 50's-in-the-future thing is Fallout's signature. Maybe it could be a mini-game or an official plug-in.

Any ideas for the next game?

My prediction: Bethesda gives us one expansion for Fallout 3 (even though I wish they'd do 2, somehow I just have a feeling they'll only do 1...) and then will do another TES game. So a Fallout 4 I imagine will be a long time from now.

at least a couple [thousand] weeks

A link between your character and the second one would be good.

In Fallout 1 the main character was the grandfather (great grandfather?) of the main character in Fallout 2. I enjoyed seeing how the wasteland developed in those 60 - 80 years, shady sands turning into the New California republic, and recurring chars like harold the mutant, an old raider and Tandi appearing different and aged in the sequel. I'd like to see how places like Rivet City and Megaton fare in a sequel 60 years into the future.

A European, african, middle eastern fallout.... i dunno... i like the retro 50's american pop culture stuff in the current fallout. The 'Duck and cover' propaganda and Mr. Handy perfect home rhetoric just compliments the whole thing brilliantly.

Im still playing the game though, this will be a more interesting and relevant question in 6 months

Considering you never find a love in this game () your new character would be a bastard child born from a prosttute. Um... yeah... great. This is my life's ambition

Hopefully they'll actually QC Fallout IV and make it to where you can actually finish the main quest if you're playing it on 360. That would be a nice change for Fallout IV.

maybe u can be one of the leftovers from the Enclave or a great great great great great grandson of Pre-War US army personnel in DC or Alaska. Or Canada.

And you need factions.

Maybe they should make an expansion pack like they did for the elder scrolls... have it like a boat/car/plane/train (most likely a helicopter taken from the enclave) to *insert far destination here* and have it crash in like New Jersey
