Official Fallout 4 Location Suggestions

Post » Mon Mar 14, 2011 8:25 pm

There have been a number of threads started to promote the idea of a particular location as a great setting for the next Fallout game. We have decided to keep the suggestions and discussion of different location ideas into one thread. Any new threads started about a location idea for Fallout will be locked or moved to this thread.

This thread should be used to discuss the different settings you think would work for a future Fallout game. Feel free to toss around the pros and cons (as you see them) for a new setting for a future Fallout game, but remember to keep any criticism or "cons" about a location within the rules for civil discussion.

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1103120-where-should-the-next-fallout-be/, if some of you want to continue any discussion from there

I think florida would be a great fallout idea,you have the cities and the people and the military bases and all kinds of bugs and animals to mutate

Detroit, Michigan and the surrounding areas. It would be like a hybrid of The Pitt and the DC ruins.


Too much like Detroit in the real world. :wink_smile:

British Columbia, Canada.

Think about it: The American Columbia Republic
Killer moose', eagles, beavers and deer.
Forests.
Mountains, like legit huge mountains.
Snow.
Victoria (Island base)
Zombie Mounties :)

(I'm Canadian so I'm aloud to make fun of myself xD)

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


Agreed ruins the lore of fallout. One reason you just stated... but there is also the manner that Vault Tech, All together would be absent from the game. Vault Tech. was a goverment group that made safe havens while the nuclear war happened. Now maybe they could make a new game series along the lines of fallout but i do no think any fallout will ever mainly take place outside U.S or North America.

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.


This is off topic, these are features of a game but this thread is about locations for new game.

Knowing what i know about the kansas city area there are lots of missle silo's located there. Nukes... Fallout... Perfect place, It also has a world war 2 memorial that would make a perfect place for a quest. I believe since this is the middle of the country and has the most silo's in the area it would be a target for nukes. Tho since the population isn't Huge, still big but not huge it would make a good place. A story behind it could be told with the movie, The Day After (Its about kansas city getting nuked). It would have a good story to it, along with the fact that Enclave and BoS could be fighting for control of the diffrent missle silo's and bases.

Im talking about the missouri side of Kansas City.

The http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Commonwealth is what was once Massachusetts. It was mentioned a lot in the games because it's a really influential place in the East. It has advanced technology, it's own government, and it's a damn big place. Plus the little amount of lore we have about it is awesome.

Also, you should probably keep in mind that posting 4 times in a row, or more than twice in a row, is sort of against the rules. You could have easily used the edit button instead of making 4 separate posts. I'm not trying to be a mini-mod, just telling you for future reference so you don't wind up getting contacted by a mod about it.

I think there will be a game set in China in the not too distant future. Would be interesting seeing the after effect of the other side - and being 'evil' socialists the Chinese would no doubt have an equivilant version of vault tec.

Detroit. A big, sprawling Pitt type thing, bordering on the lakes. Maybe a Commonwealth force waiting nearby to invade and take over production facilities. Like the Pitt, do you help the Detroit residents save their city, or help the Commonwealth forces? Hmmm.. yeah, sounds good. Oh yeah, and since it's the "motor city", it's the one place in the Wasteland that has the facilities to get working cars.

I would vote for New York (New York Penal Colony... yeah, I know), but I figure our computers aren't up to the task of rendering that place convincingly enough yet.

Several locations immediately spring to mind when I think about places I want to see in a Fallout game: Tokyo, Houston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Vancouver and Seattle.

Tokyo: This may be a very hard setting to pick. Most of the Fallout Bible covers the stuff in the US or at least North America. Would be pretty hard to swing, but I can dream, can't I?

Houston: Could be a great partially flooded ruin. Might be a good setting for a major industrialized complex (ship channel, refineries, etc.) that must have bloomed in the area during the resource wars. However post-war the sea-levels may have risen and the city could be partially underwater.

Dallas/Fort Worth: Two city hubs in close proximity to one another could lead to some interesting in-game faction situations. Could be a good setting for a more war-themed game, with main factions each claiming one of the city hubs and fighting it out in the intervening space.

Vancouver: Beautiful mountains, nearby volcanoes (perhaps active!), the ocean... all seen through the lens of the Wasteland. Would be a great location to show off differing types of terrain. Parts of Vancouver Island could even be implemented across the water from the city itself.

Seattle: Iconic cyberpunk city (to some). Many of the same benefits as Vancouver. Major port city, large urban sprawl, good geographic features, etc.

Denver/Colorado Springs: Cheyenne Mountain comes to mind. Could be a good setting for a very mountainous rugged region, filled with craters and vault complexes.

woot! :mohawk:

unfortunately it's so tied up in 50s Americana that, even though they talk about other parts of the world, I don't think they would base a game there.

I would love to see a Fallout episode take place in and around Disney Land, or Disney World. I can understand that Disney licensing is brutal (since it is an evil cooperate carnivore), so they could make up a fictional franchise similar to it and show how it takes over the surrounding area with a ruthless, iron fist. I do not know if they were around in the 50's, but I think at least one of them was.

I would also like one set in Texas and depict a reversal of the immigration dispute as refugees from the wasteland try to illegally immigrate to Mexico. I can imagine that tons of people flocked south to avoid the bombs and a population center developed on the border before the bombs went off.

NYC, with a twist. The ruins would contain the largest population of ghouls in the US and have their own city-state. A ghoul empire would be awesome! It would probably be a DLC zone.

Yeah, that'd be interesting. :]
And it definitely existed in the 50s, it existed before WWII. Though when it was actually founded, I'm not sure.
It'd be particularly cool because in the 40s Disney had a lot of pro-"patriotic," pro-America, racist, anti-Nazi, and anti-Axis propaganda. (All of them are banned, I'm pretty sure, but you can find them all on youtube and google for the titles).

Maybe that'd work-but I remember before the war that the US was bossing around Mexico...or had some sort of control/pressure on it. I really need to read up on my Fallout info again. Otherwise, again, cool idea.

Yeah, I'm really hopeful for north-east parts of the US being the setting of future Fallouts. Especially the Commonwealth for Fallout 4, since it was mentioned in Fallout 3 so many times. But New York or Maine would be awesome too. Or even Michigan.

I'd like to see some areas outside of the US, or even North America-but I doubt it'll happen. A few people involved in the making of the games have stated themselves that it doesn't really fit the theme-since it's focused on America.

I would love to see any Canadian location. Canada has been mentioned the most out of any other country (aside from China) and there have been Canadian characters as well at one point in Mother Ship DLC you can blow up Algonquin Park. Also I like to think Ronto is Toronto (not the Ohio one though).

Plus vaults were placed all over Canada so then that gives plenty of opportunities for survivors.


Purely from a story point of view, aside from locations within the USA, Canada makes the most sense because of its heavy involvement and mention all through out the previous games. People mentioning places like Ireland, Venice and other countries is quite silly as they have nothing to do with the story so far.

That may be so but there is a huge difference between "most likely" and "definitely confirmed." By saying what you said you're telling people false things that they'll believe to be true, and they will spread it to others. I'm just stopping the spread before it beings.

But if you want to speculate, I'm fairly certain it will take place in Boston because that is almost definitely where The Institute is. Whether or not Cambridge is featured in it will be up to Bethesda, but they'll only choose one location to be the "major city" in the game.



Actually, The Institute is almost definitely in Cambridge since The Institute is almost definitely MIT, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which is in Cambridge. That said, if F3 can have Bethesda and Washington DC in the same game, it can have Boston and Cambridge in the same game.

I think a game in the Commonwealth could be cool, but only if it's set prior to The Institute developing human-like androids, which are totally not cool.

Yeah, after I said that I looked it up and realized that MIT is in Cambridge, when I could have sworn it was in Boston. My bad...

What don't you like about the androids? I think they're an important element to the Commonwealth's setting. If they can develop human-like androids, lord knows what else they created.

I would hate to have Fallout 4 be set before Fallout 3, which is what would have to happen for the game to be set before the Commonwealth made androids. I much prefer having the series progress into the future than go back into the past.

The Commonwealth or Chicago is the only places that I can think of that they could do Fallout 4. The only other place that I could think of is if they came up with some fictional place somewhere in the USA.
