Could be interesting.

Well I don't think they used the less powerful nukes to explain why fallout 3 wasn't taking place in a pile of ash, as an excuse, I think that it's been implied that since fallout 1, I mean look at this:

London or MOSCOW! ofcourse

every game being in the USA is booooooring

edit: Tokyo would probably be the best

I think Bethesda would be unlikely to do a game set in Japan due to sensitivity issues. This is also compounded by the fact that a game set outside of the US would have a difficult time incorporating the Americana element. China might work since it was the other side of the Great War, if the remnants of an American invasion force have survived so much the better.

I think if Bethesda wants to reveal something about the situation in the rest of the world they're better off having NPCs from that region.


NYC is north of DC, it would be odd to give it a tropical climate. If you want an irradiated jungle environment you should probably look at the south east - I realize there isn't any true jungle in the USA (although the north west does have temperate rain forests) but a game set in Florida or Louisiana would come pretty close.

I'm not sure why everyone is saying New York City. It would be a giant crater/underwater in a post nulear war.

Here is a map of major and minor targets in a nuclear war. I think you could use this to find locations for a game. I think Texas would be good, Colorado, maybe New Orleans but it would most likely be underwater. The commonwealth is an obvious choice for Fallout 4.

Well, being from Seattle, I'd like to say Seattle would make a great location.

Not only could their be references to the old '62 worlds fair, but due to Washington being the closest mainland state to alaska, maybe that could play into it somehow?

not to mention that to the east of Seattle there are mountains, and some pretty woodsy areas that might make for interesting species (bigfoot anyone?)

Hey! Ghouls could live in the old http://www.tripfilms.com/Travel_Video-v68877-Seattle-Weird_US_Seattle_Underground_City_Tour-Video.html! that would be awesome! ahh man. Now I got my hopes up

Besides, there is little to no history on what happened in Washington during/after the great war. Most of the fallout history is based in CA/NV, and the east coast (DC, Pitt, Commonwealth, etc)

But I say nay to NY as the next fallout, so many games and movies these days are focusing on NY. NY is always either getting blown up, taken over, destroyed, or played in that it's just getting kinda old. I mean, I like NY as much as the next guy, but I am glad Fallout is staying away from the impulse to make a New York based game. I think it's actually cool that they have done Las Vegas and Washington DC. both of which are almost never used for games.

Same thing for Seattle

I reckon a Fallout in Louisiana would look quite a bit like point lookout, ya? kinda swampy/marsh land? Florida could be interesting, but yet again, I vote for Seattle/Washington

To the people who keep suggesting New York.

Think about it for a second.

All those tall, tall skyscraqers, all that potential debris to fall into those streets. Even a near miss would topple most of those buildings and choke almost every street and open space with debris. Not to mention 200 years of neglect.

All those complaints about having to use the metros to get around DC would be even worse.


Besides, New York seems to be the focus of almost any post-apoc movie/story set in a city.

Fall out 4 Atlanta


Im sorta heart broken right now. For the next fallout in the big consul series I was hoping for a fall out in the south. But instead It toulk place close to were the first began. While this is ok I was hoping to see what happened in the south. Did it survive, Did it return to what it once was, DID THE CATFISH MIRELURKS TAKE OVER.
To me the very next Fallout game sould take place in the south.
I even have a few monster Ideas

catfish mirelurk
There just as strong as the Super mutant overlord How ever they only attack if you attack first. Rarely alone as they hunt in packs of 4.

Talking deathclaw
These creatures are strait from the west. They live in a small village out side Atlanta. They unlike most deathclaws are nice and only eat Brahmin. They are the biggest farmers of these creatures in the eastern part of the U.S. of A. You will see that most of there meat stock is only 1 headed. They milk the ones with 2 heads.

I hope you like my Idea for creatures and hope you want a fallout in the south

So let's see...
FO1/2 California/Nevada...
FO3 Washington DC
FNV Las Vegas/Nevada
FO4... well, New York is the best option. It's an iconic location just like the rest of the Fallout games were set.
But making it in New York would be kinda hard, since there is lots of building and less "wasteland". It would take Beth some time to create this huge city. But exploring it would be lots of fun, just like "I'm A Legend".

No, no it isn't. Bethesda has come up with many more interesting locations in their lore to set it in. Much more interesting that cliche old NYC. Such as the Commonwealth, or Ronto. Besides, your argument is flawed in that the entire state of California and the other states Fallout 1 and 2 took place in aren't in any way more iconic than any of the other states in the country. Fallout 3 was the first Fallout to take place in a single location, albeit in a large area. Aside from that, lets not kid ourselves here, NYC would be a big pile of rubble, if not a big crater. They would have to set the majority of the game in other parts of New York, and have NYC only be a big pile of rubble with a handful of locations in it that would be visitable. That is, of course, if it wasn't hit directly by the bombs.

I'm not exaggerating when I say if Bethesda sets a Fallout game in New York City I will lose a huge amount of respect for them, because that would mean they've lost a lot of the creativity they once had. New York City is a location uncreative developers fall back on when they can't think of a better city to set their games in, or just can't come up with a new, fictional city. I wouldn't mind if they set a DLC there, but that's it.

I would love for it to be in the Commonwealth that would be fun. Chicago is another location that could be done.

If they used Cleveland or Detroit they wouldn't have much work to do to convince people that a nuclear war had happened.

That's Detroit, I don't know of much/any footage for Cleveland, but some folks have said Cleveland is worse than Detroit.

Somewhere in England would be my choice.

If Fallout 4 would be located in south there could be like this rednecks with the south will rise again attitude. Like confederation and stuff...

That's the eastside of Detroit and its a rather miniscule portion of, mostly 8 to 10 mile. All of Detroit is not that bad, and quite frankly I'm tired of ignorant people making these claims. Downtown Detroit is very nice and suburbs of Detroit are some of the nicest safest places in Michigan and the US for that matter.

1.) The Commonwealth

2.) Or the area where USA annexed Canada.

Antarctica.

Ideas:
- A secret U.S. Government fallout shelter housing high ranking government officials.
- Experiments with time/space manipulation conducted by the Enclave, or at least what's left of them.
- A pristine "utopia" for refugees of the world.

What do you guys think?
Got any other ideas?

Well I think its clear that FO4 will be set on the east coast again because in the Euro gamer interview, it was stated that Beth wanted Obsidian to choose a western location to differentiate the series. To make the point that it isn't a sequel to FO3.

I do think it will be set in either the Commonwealth (I would love this, I'm from Mass), or NYC. I'm about 50/50 on the likelihood of either.

Just north of CW.
Enough north to be at an interesting area but close enough to have stuff from fallout 3 pop-up to show what ending was canon.

well I think i'd love the dark dirty post apocoliptic version of chicago or detriot with the gangsters and the whole 50's thing goin on, I'd really dig that man! that be really cool, however I think it'd be better suited for a different series rather than fallout

One thing i would like to see again is the old highwayman car. That you could use. But the game has to be a lot bigger then FO3. More quests, and a lot misc quest.

I would also like to be able to take over buildings. Sometimes you found abondoned apratments and such. That would be kinda neat but also being able to take over shops and other buildings to have your home in.

Cookable food. Like schematics you have recipies.

Extra bags to story inventory.

More junk to find.

Make use of empty soda bottles



One thing that I think is kinda cool is if it went multiplayer it should be openworld. And that you can start up stores. Where you can sell stuff to other players and also other players may be able to steal from you. ANd such things.

Why would it not be possible to go outside the US?? You think a huge company like Vault Tech wouldn't have foreign investors? Or international distribution partners? UK and Germany had huge bunkers back before the 50s, why wouldnt they have vaults when the great war kicks up?

And as for the 50s style: Europe was very much similar in fashion and home styling. Back in the 50s, after WW2 hysteria died down, europe started looking to the US when it came to bringing colour back into life. of course they had their own take on US fashion, music and film, but the trend went towards a european adaption of the american way of life. Look at the early 60s in London! Or listen to some Jazz and Swing coming out of Berlin in the late 50s.

London / great britain in general, would be a very good idea for atleast a huge DLC. A really diverse landscape, possibility of introducing seafaring antics, chasing mutant game over the white cliffs of Dover...exploring old castles...the pubcrawling nightlife of London town...please mind the gap in the Tube...and so much room for Lore! not to mention the possibility of adding completely new clans and groups into the universe. And then theres so much room for great voice acting, and british irony and sarcasm.

Just sayin', doesn't have to be strictly US just because of the slogan.

It's possible, but highly unlikely, because Todd Howard said he wouldn't want to take a Fallout game outside of the U.S. because he feels it wouldn't be Fallout. So unless Todd has a change of heart someday, we wont be seeing a Fallout outside of the U.S., from Bethesda at least.

I like the idea a little bit but i dont thnk it will work. Because all those famous factions that you see in the Fallout universe doesnt exist outside the US. But sure the idea could be surely kinda cool but its still needs to be in US. Thats my thought
