Official Fallout 4 Location Suggestions #3 : Fallout Series Discussion

Well I'd like to go to toronto as in the Pitt it was mentioned as being a place of high power. Maybe the enclave has retreated there and you play as a slave in whatever faction controls toronto and you choose to either help the enclave conquer the area, or rise through the ranks of torontos army to help fight for your land.

Fallout: Oak Ridge, Tennessee would be amazing. The nuclear facility there is where they basically made the first atomic bomb and during the time many dams were built in the east Tennessee region. The factions could be the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) and possibly a group of farmers or locals angry about the TVA taking their land for the construction of dams, and the brotherhood of steel could be there trying to secure the nuclear facility and its secrets. The radio could play classic bluegrass country and rock music such as Elvis.

This is a great idea! Its just an obscure enough location to really give you that detachment from our world. Its perfect for the 50s world of tomorrow world of fallout Oak ridge would be great and maybe one of the things to do is try to make a nuclear bomb. And yes Elvis music and Jerry lee Lewis, And it being in the Hills of the south some old Timey music like from the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou. The whole thing is so easy to visualize, this is a great idea.

Good idea.

Yes it is a good idea. here's a link I found that explains some of what happened in other areas of the country including Florida.

Fighting over a power source was done in Vegas... Deserts and major city ruins make up most of the Fallout Universe.

fighting over a power source is essential for any post apocalypse world set in modern times due to the great benefit of power. and it had one dam. in east tennessee there is douglas and cherokee dam along with oak ridge's facility, along with many small towns, gatlinburg, pigeon forge, and knoxville all for the sizable city options. also on music they could possibly use johnny cash too

Major city ruins weren't so common in the original Fallouts.

Oak Ridge, Tenessee might work, but we'll need some backstory on the factions...

I posted this link on Fan-made Fallout before it got locked... I still think it's a good idea.

TVA was founded as a government institution by FDR during the great depression to vitalize east TN, many locals hated the TVA because they took peoples family farm lands for the dams and other energy structures they created. and the bos would of course come because of the nuclear facility.

In that case I say wait untill F5 or whatever it's called, we need a break from the BoS so they don't get old to the general public...

Maybe it can be the Brotherhood of Steel Outcasts instead of Lyon's Brotherhood of Steel.

I'll just throw out a perennial favourite, http://www.bbc.co.uk/wiltshire/underground_city/

Not for Fallout... Maybe Bethesda could make another post-apocalyptic series with other countries too.

Why not Fallout?

» Sat May 28, 2011 12:37 pm

Fallout is all about America after a Nuclear Holocaust, as established in the past on these forums...

Why?

OK here is my take for the next Fallout. My suggestion is reboot the series and commit to only making three more games. The first game would be actually spent Pre Bomb; but during the Chinese invasion. During this game players should learn things like the roots of the NCR and BoS and other classic Fallout factions. The reason is the final form we have seen them in is clearly not their original forms. The NCR would be and outgrowth of some other attempt at a sovereign Californian government. Insofar as a location my choice would ultimately be somewhere in the Pacific Northwest or the Rocky Mountain area,; but not Cali as you want the next two games to legitimately give players a choice in factions. This game's main mission would be to win the "vault lottery" and then to locate and access said vault.

Game two would be cut in two parts. The game would begin in the vault but not 200 yeas later like F3; this would be 100 years later. The players would be given the choice whether they will support or destroy the vault. Now the interesting part is both paths lead to the vaults destruction but the different paths lead to different exits (and thus different followers and equipment) upon leaving the vault. The second part, depending upon the players vault choices, is spent out in the new wasteland. Ultimately the main mission here is discovery of an outside force interested in destroying the players vault for scavenging purposes. The player is informed one of his thought long dead parents is behind it and looks to seek him (her) out.

The final game is going to take cues from the first and second games. Who did you help who did you destroy; which team were you on which team did you help their demise. This game takes place 100 years after game 2. Ultimately this game would have several starting places based upon the actions taken in the previous two games. I could write a novel describing those so its not something I am going into. What, if we apply Achem's Razor, is the most important is the overall scope of the game. The focus of this game is the fact one of the players siblings had traveled to either Canada or Mexico. There this sibling has reported that situation there is far better than in the US and they are mobilizing for an impending invasion into the US. The players mission is to go to Canada (or Mexico) and to impede or help those plans.

My rationale for rebooting the Fallout series and limiting the follow ups is simple, all good things must come to an end. A simple Fallout 4 (as FNV is clearly F3.5) would fall flat and not be satisfying. Reboot and revamp. Just like the reviews I have read for Elder Scrolls V compared to ES IV.

NCR started after fallout one

I really like that New Vegas had an established city, complete with lights and functioning utilities. That really perked up the image.

If there were a way to make New York City look like that (unlikely due to the bombs) then that would be the logical place to go.

We have the desert and a metropolis, however. The next thing that seems normal would be to get a foresty or green place, but that's... unlikely.

oak ridge is forestry and it is unlikely TN would have been nuked or bombed in the conflict, just have fallout from surrounding bombs

I'de like to see the heat-drenched Australian Outback, where blood ravaged kangaroos roam the dusty plains.

I know you said it should be American but I would still like it to be in Australia

I say don't reboot it Bethesda!

It's (bluntly speaking) a terrible idea that would ruin Fallout for me... I'm sorry but I absolutely hate your idea for a reboot and redo of the entire thing that took almost a life time to bring to where it is now!

or just make it so that this is a site where the enclave beat the BoS to the tech

» Sat May 28, 2011 10:09 am

I'd rather have it be the Outcasts...

I think that fallout should be in New York or Chicago. If fallout 4 will be in New York then the developers would have to have most of the buildings standing. And the resone why they could be standing is becaus on the buildings rooftops they had placed anti-aircraft guns that shot down most of the boomers( 95% percent of the boomers ). And like in New Vegas the radiation fell down on the city causing mutation. And the boomers that did make it destroyed some things. Also that one of the vaults there also had a f.e.v vires but a different kind in witch the super mutants are smart but still strong but some are nice. And the main good fraction is a comunety started by a buch of soldiers that servived the war and radiation and they let anyone join including super mutants. They also have a lot of good guns and there leader is the great great grandson of a Major. And the game starts with you beening born and at age ten you start your training to become a soldier and at sixteen you graduate the acdomy and get your fist mission with your team. And you also get to pick what you are in the team. And thats all i got (:

I dont think that fallout should go back to california because the NCR has the entire place under controle. I know there could be a civil war but that just dosent sound that post-apocalyptic because the NCR has prouble started re building and theres not going to be any thing new about the setting at all accept it would be in 3D. And why go back there when there is so much Fallout america unexplored and the entire wourld. So I think that it would be terrible to go back to california because there are so many places to go for the first time like New York or massachusetts or down south like florida or texas ( and fallout has never been to texas before *whink* *whink*) and even ohio. Ok not ohio because theid be nothing there and it be to boring and I SHOULD KNOW BECAUSE I LIVE THERE!!!!!!???!!!!!!!!.
