Hello, I'm a huge fan of the Fallout 3 and Fallout NV games! When I heard about the coming of Fallout 4, I knew it was finally time to buy a next-gen video game console just so I can play it when it comes out.

I have an idea for the new Fallout 4 game. Can I submit it here or is there an email address set up for Fallout fans to send in ideas for the game?

My idea is, (I hope) a simple one. I read about how the crafting system is being re-built and I remember in the game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim had a two handed combat system.

Well I was thinking: why not do something similar for Fallout 4, but in a limited way. I was thinking that when a player equips a weapon that is one-handed, the second hand could be used for holding, say, a lit flare, a lit torch, or a lantern of some kind. These items could be added to the new crafting system and be used as consumables.

And if the player switches to a two-handed weapon, the flare, or torch would simply be dropped to the ground, where it would continue to burn for its renaming time and then go out. I know players always have the Pipboy light, but I was hoping the new game could give some other options for players to explore the darkness other than just the Pipeboy light.

Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks for taking time to read this.

unless someone makes a mod, it is not going to be in the game.

Unlikely unless, there's a mod to include it. But there's the pip-boy light.

Flares sure, they were in the original games, but I don't see the need for torches when we have a pip-boy. Someone will probably make a mod for it.

Consider Todd has already confirmed its done, feature wise. Honestly there is no real possibility to add more features beyond very minor tweaks to existing features, but its not wrong to share ya ideas, just don't expect them to pop up in 4, maybe in 5 it could pop up.

Here's hoping they make the Pip-boy light more useful.

The pip-boy light is like the WORST flashlight ever! It's worse, dare I say, then the flashlight from Silent Hill 1,2 and 3! Why wouldn't anyone want more options then just the pip-boy light?

You and me both!

To be honest I would love throw (grenade type) flares if the actually would light up a room.

But some have said here that it looks as if the power armor system actually comes with a head mounted light. Might be they added flashlights as well.

Didn't say there weren't better options to the pip-boy light, but they'll come from mods, not the base game that Beth includes.
