So, fairly simple and random poll.

What title would you feel most excited about and, like F:NV had the Gambling Theme going for it, what general theme could you see with it?

See my sig.

What's "SLC"? Salt Lake City?

We've already been to NCR, Boneyard and Reno so those are redundant IMO. New Vegas 2 also feels like a "been there dunn dat". And there's barely anything of interest in New Mexico and/or SLC. If any location should have a game, no. "Need" a game, it's Arizona as the Legion needs some serious fleshing out. Right now it's basically a bonebag, need some meat on those bones.

Not only is there stuff of potential interest in New Mexico, but there's a ton of it. From Denver south to Albuquerque is pretty much the hotbed of top secret military and scientific R&D of North America, and it has been that way since before the Cold War. NORAD, Los Alamos, Sandia, Kirtland AFB, the Air Force Academy, etc. Area 51 is more infamous, but Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado are where most of the weird and top secret goes on. Plus you have Denver, Colorado Springs, Santa Fe and Albuquerque as urban settings. And there's topographical variety, with mountains, forests and high desert.

There are also lots of potential factions, with tons of Native Americans and people who live "off the grid".

It could be a very compelling setting.

I hate Obsidian, they abbandon NV after everything was done. Of course that is what Bethesda did....

As Gabe said the legion need fleshing out they where under develop in fonv to the case most people just consider them mwahah evil, so we need a little more legion content.

I went ahead and voted new mexico since I like new mexico in cabela hunting games.

Really all I know is I don't want new vegas 2, I mean I wish it was done better, but now we've seen THE "new vegas strip" they really can't then say "ahh no, it's actually like this *present awesomeness*".

New mexico would be cool, texas maybe even better.

Question is, is it better to explore an entirely new area than to flesh out a faction which got shafted and which we barely know anything about?

To me a new area can always wait, but the time line will move forward, and unless Legion's story is told sooner rather than later then we might never get to see the state of their civilized lands. Just look at MWBOS, they've been off the radar for so long that making a new game that revolves around Barnaky and MLA will be difficult, especially in explaining just why neither side has won over the other just yet. Certain factions can't just be put off for 100 years, things happen and factions change, die or splinter. And games aren't exactly spurted out annually like COD is, so if we get Fallout: New Mexico then it means we have to wait another 5 years for the 'possibility' of Fallout: Arizona. And if they decide to do Fallout: Ronto instead then it means 5 more years of waiting around.

We don't know (in fallout lore) how much of interest there could be in either SLC or New Mexico, but in Arizona we know what's there and we know it needs more lore. We have a nation spanning 2 stats and the half of two more states and we barely know anything about their culture, religion or civilized life. To me Arizona takes priority over everything else if only for the scope of the nation that resides there. New Mexico can wait, no lore is set in stone as of yet in there. Arizona on the other hand can't wait around forever, at some point the Legion will die out (as will any faction in Fallout given enough time) or they will change and we'll never get to see the Legion as it were under Caesar's reign.

Why would we go back to locations in California?

I voted none of the above. Fallout Chicago

Bethesda didn't allow them to work on it anymore.

I'd like to see how the Mojave plays out, so I could maybe see a FNV 2.

It'd be much more interesting to see the Legion expanded upon, or to see how the Midwestern Brotherhoood is going. Or something new entirely, I'd trust Obsidian with the whole franchise.

Or, Obsidian could return for another go at Van Buren. Honestly, the lore and location for that game was superb, if they could cover that in a game, I'd take it over all else.

new reno as the person in charge is realted to vault dweller

Fallout: None-Of-The-Above.

I'd hope whoever makes the next game tries to strive some new grounds and stories rather than rehashing the old territories and factions... again. There are countless of possibilities out there that don't require already established subjects/features more than as possible sidenotes.

Yeah, even given what I said above, the Chicago area is what I really want to see.
