Hi dear community of fallout new vegas!

I am new on this forums,and i got some questions annoying my mind,i would appreciate if someone could answer them,thanks!

1 - Where can i post my suggestion to bethesda maybe make an better fallout in future? Will bethesda listen to my ideas later?Or i will be only spending my time with my suggestions/ideas for nothing?

2 - Is fallout new vegas considered as '4' or just an different edition?Because the history from 1 - 2 - 3 is lined,but new vegas has much different history,would be good fallout 4 with lined history,as the 1 , 2 and 3.

3 - Is Bethesda and Obsidian working in a new fallout?When they think what the game is probaly gonna launch?

4 - Will be possible to have an Fallout Multplayer?Or already exists?Wich one?

Thanks for the patience on reading my questions and maybe answer them back,where i can ask for help if i have question about the game?I still dont finished New Vegas,i wich what it takes longer than Fallout 3 :D,thanks for the cooperation community.

*Sigh*

You'd be best off posting your ideas about the next fallout in the Fallout Series area.

Fallout 1 and 2 took place on the West Coast, when Bethesda bought the rights to Fallout they made Fallout 3 on the East Coast: compared to the rest of the series Fallout 3 is ill-fitting, everything is much more irradiated than it should be, no-one makes any attempt to do anything but svck, scavenge and die and the story and factions are 90% unrelated to the previous games. New Vegas is back on the West Coast, made by the team of the first two Fallouts, it is canonically sound and fits in much better with the series than 3 ever did, it is a continuation of the First two Fallouts. New Vegas is Fallout 4 without the number.

Of course they are. About 2013, I would think.

There is a Fallout MMO (massively multiplayer online) game being developed by the name of Fallout Online, but it's extremely doubtful any future Fallouts following the actual series will have multiplayer. No past fallout games have had multiplayer, except there is a PC mod for multiplayer on Fallout 2 and 1, I believe.

Learn how to mod so you can incorporate your ideas yourself into New Vegas. If your mod becomes popular enough, Bethesda might take notice and incorporate those ideas into the next version of Fallout, and even if they don't - you can simply mod Fallout 4.

You could certainly try, but if I were you I'd get a friend or teacher to help you compose the email since your English skills aren't the best. The truth is, for any game, there's a whole sea of gamers who have suggestions for the next installment in the franchise and it's hard for any of those particular suggestions to get noticed. The best way to get noticed, in my opinion, is make a mod incorporating those suggestions and release it to the community. If it's advertised well, and has solid ideas then it will become popular and Bethesda will notice. For instance a very popular FO mod is "Project Nevada" and one of its defining features is the ability to sprint. Lo and Behold, Bethesda releases Skyrim with the ability to sprint.

Plus when you contact them you can mention that you're the creator of "Popular Mod X" and they might be more apt to listen to your suggestions. In fact if Game Design is something you eventually see yourself doing it'll be great practice and something to put on a resume. Truth be told, if you just shoot off a random email that says you're a random gamer with ideas for Fallout 4, your email will probably be buried under the flood of similar emails that they most assuredly get every day.

If you'd like to share your ideas with other gamers, however, there's a thread in the Fallout Series forum for such suggestions. But it's more an intellectual exercise than anything.

Hi dear community of fallout new vegas!

I am new on this forums,and i got some questions annoying my mind,i would appreciate if someone could answer them,thanks!

1 - Where can i post my suggestion to bethesda maybe make an better fallout in future? Will bethesda listen to my ideas later?Or i will be only spending my time with my suggestions/ideas for nothing?

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1278543-fallout-4-speculation-suggestions-and-ideas-43/ From my experience, the devs, to a varying degree, do read this stuff and take the suggestions seriously. Whether your suggestions are something they feel should be implemented in future games really depends on how good your suggestions are and how many other people are asking for the same thing.

2 - Is fallout new vegas considered as '4' or just an different edition?Because the history from 1 - 2 - 3 is lined,but new vegas has much different history,would be good fallout 4 with lined history,as the 1 , 2 and 3.

From all that I can tell, BGS intends to make the next Fallout game set somewhere in the eastern half of the US. That being the case, it may or may not include references or elements for both the other game placed in that area, Fallout 3, and of course base elements and lore from all previous games. Whether it will be called "Fallout 4" or not, only time will tell. For now, I'm calling it "Fallout:".


3 - Is Bethesda and Obsidian working in a new fallout?When they think what the game is probaly gonna launch?

Obsidian seems to be working on a new IP that has nothing to do with Fallout. Although BGS has not annouced any work on Fallout:, given their previous history of game production, they probably started high level design work a while ago, and have now probably moved a large portion of the dev team from TES:V over to Fallout now that Skyrim is out. Of course, this is just speculation on my part. They very well could have the bulk of the dev team working on some other IP that we know nothing about.


4 - Will be possible to have an Fallout Multplayer?Or already exists?Wich one?

As stated above, FO2 has a fan-made mod that allows online multiplayer. http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1234017-fallout-2238-7/ Also, as mentioned above, there is a "situation" that revolves around a Fallout MMOG that is currently tied up in litigation. Since we aren't really allowed to talk here about lawsuits that BSW is involved in, that conversation is best had at other Fallout sites. There is a general thread in Series Discussion, where you can talk about online multiplayer generally (albeit without discussion of anything related to BSW litigation), http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1112031-fallout-multiplayer-discussion-thread/.


Thanks for the patience on reading my questions and maybe answer them back,where i can ask for help if i have question about the game?I still dont finished New Vegas,i wich what it takes longer than Fallout 3 :D,thanks for the cooperation community.

As no other greybeard has commented on this, I will. Lucky for 'WolfCapTaiN', I'm a nice guy.
:hugs:

New Vegas is not officially 'Fallout 4'. I'm sure we will see Fallout 4 in the future.
However it IS considered canonical (i.e. It's considered an official part of the story of the word).
Hope that answers your actual question! :tops:

However, when you say that there is a linear history between Fallouts 1, 2 and 3 - I have to respectfully disagree. :nono:


:grad:

While some superficial aspects were taken from Fallout 1 and 2, the setting and story of Fallout 3 bears very little relation to Fallout 1 and 2 at all.
Even the bits in Fallout 3 that were taken from Fallout 1 and 2 (the GECK, The Brotherhood of Steel, The Enclave) were misappropriated (by which I mean they were changed and used incorrectly). The story is not related at all.
Fallout New Vegas 'corrects' a lot of the things that were changed in Fallout 3, and also shows events that are due (in large part) to the events in Fallout 1 & 2. Many people here would claim that Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas are all one story while Fallout 3 is a side story.

The easiest way would be tohttp://www.newvegasnexus.com/ and see if anyone else has already made a mod that does what you want. If not, then you're going to have to download and learn to use the GECK and possibly other support programs depending on the content you want to create. http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/Main_Page

What exactly do you want to do? (Some mods are easier than others.)

Multiplayer is not going to be an option (though its not outright impossible to mod I think... Its close to it.)

Texture changes to existing objects and creatures can be done with any [decent] image editor and some free utilities for "Normal Maps"; Use of Nifscope is highly recommended, but not actually required.
The G.E.C.K. editor can edit the existing world, add existing objects, add encounters, terminals, edit and add NPCs.
(lip sync for new dialog files and support for debugging one's scripts seems absent.)

New assets will require a 3d modeling package that exports to NIF model format, and the NIF editor "Nifscope" is practically indispensable here.

I would say read the http://geck.gamesas.com/index.php/Main_Page, and watch the tutorial videos (both official and user created) that you can find on Youtube.

Fallout: New vegas is a spin-off title, a tangent from the main story of Fallout 1, Fallout 2 and Fallout 3. It is no more Fallout 4 than Tactics should be 3.

3 - Is Bethesda and Obsidian working in a new fallout? When they think what the game is probaly gonna launch?
So far the order has been Bethesda - Fallout3 then Obsidian - New Vegas, my betting would be that Obsidian do the spin offs inbetween main titles while Bethesda do the main title. I don't see them working together on 4 but who knows, al lot of people would like to see Obsidian return and do Fallout 4 though. Fallout 3 was released in 2008, and New vegas in 2010, I predict it will be around 2013/14 before we see a Fallout 4.

I post the link to said thread above, here it is again though: http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1112031-fallout-multiplayer-discussion-thread/

New Vegas has a great replay value though, you'll be playing it for months. I was, at least.

Why does everybody forget Fallout: Tactics?

The order is:
Fallout 1-1997
Fallout 2-1998
Fallout: Tactocs-2001
Fallout 3-2008
Fallout: New Vegas-2010

Fallout: New Vegas is NOT Fallout 4, that will be Bethesda Game Studios' next Fallout Title, it is considerd a spin-off due to it being made by a hired company that does not own the rights to the series (Obsidian Entertainment).

And you should post in the Fallout Series section.

And I am a Dinosaur, one who likes the old games and could tell you a lot about them. Just ask if you need any information or check the Vault (Fallout's Wiki).

Only high level events were canon but that is infinantly more than the Burned Game (because I'm multiplying by zero).

The game changed company hands in that period, there was also Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel Nothing from either game is canon and really should be brought up in any debates/discussions :)
The Burned Game was in 2004 so it was only 3 years without a Fallout game.

What does it matter though since Fallout New Vegas is considered canon? I've never understood the importance of it's it's a spin-off or not, since either way, it's seen as canon.

Well there were two games made in that time, the cancelled Fallout 3 codenamed Van Buren (it was almost done when the people in charge of the makers shut it down, however most of the content has been revived and placed in Fallout: New Vegas) and the Burned Game (Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel), an terrible game that defies all laws in Fallout and has a very different style. So both of those games are not canon which is why I do not list them.

Then Bethesda bought the rights to the series in 2006, after the release of their game The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, and released Fallout 3 in 2008.
