After having read a good bit of the wiki for Fallout and what is what with the storyline I can only offer one idea...In my humble opinion, I believe the next Fallout should be titled as follows...Fallout: Red China. I believe after a nuclear blast the few people who survived would have done their best to rebuild old Imperial China.. The picture on the box cover should be either of the following: An American soldier in rusty patched together and rewelded power armor holding a chinese assault rifle(as the issued gear would have gotten broken/lost/whatever during the fighting and nuclear flames) or a Chinese soldier in captured similarly patched together power armor with no helmet and the American flag on the shoulder painted over with the Red Chinese Army symbol. set this image against a background of a falling apart bomb blast ruined pagoda and a ruddy sunset filled sky...as for large area maps? China should handle that request nicely...it's frigging HUGE! I believe it would be very easy to cover Hongkong, Bejing, Peking and parts of mongolia and southern Russia...*possible we could find a still functioning US. Army Base in southern Russia due to the good relations between the two at the time??* China has all sorts of unexplored possibilities..I believe it bears some serious looking into. however this is all just my opinions and thoughts...

Texas would be great! We've never seen a game there, ever :stare: .

The lack of sallad bars makes for a uninteresting game :spotted owl:

But there would be plenty of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqqHbhnZBwA&feature=related...



Christ, I scraqed the 'obscure-old-pap' barrel with that one.

Looking at the teaser trailer for prey 2, it doesnt seem it is as native american-centric as Prey 1.

Not that there were really any locations in prey 1 that took place on a reservation, beyond the bar that tommy's lady works at.


I do lke the four courners though, mostly because i could see arroyo type settlements at places like mesa verde.
heck, maybe even a goulhified ute nation that worships a mutated white buffalo

Indians would most likely just survive like normal people only a small percentage of Indians live on Reservations which are depressing and lack resources anyways. But some would definately try and rebuild their tribes and live and such but with no horses they'll have to find another animal to hunt on

what about something like the movie mad max ???... an undefined place laking of everything (food, water, fuel, order, etc...) just a lot of dangers and all the post-nuclear folklore like raiders, mutants, wastelanders and some settlements... maybe while you go deep in the game's story you could get clues of where that place used to be... i dont know you people but i like stories when you're not sure about everything, that kind of thrill give you a reason to find out the whole picture.

Fallout 1?

i like city locations the best, after being hugely dissapointed by the very emtpy new vegas desert i'm feeling pretty good bethesda is gonna make sure the next installment of fallout will not be 90% empty area with nothing happening, so any big city would be fine.

Horses weren't in north america before Spaniards brought them (well, they were, but they went the opposite way across the ice bridge well before native americans were native, but thats neither here nor there.). native americans managed fine without horses. Particualarly in the four courners area, where you have cliff dwelling tribes like the Anasazi. They would hunt by chasing buffalo off of cliffs. their settlements were at the bottoms of the cliffs, so it was easy pick up.

A yoi gua
that would make me sht my pants. to see a man
riding one of them
and it running at you.

would it? maybe. i dunno that bears are realy the best animal for a mount though. the legs are all wrong and the hind end is up forther than the front when on all fours.

I dont really like the idea of mounts in fallout.

ims ure th3ey have a place somehere in the wastes, just not sure its needed for a protagonist..

If they have the animal friend perk, they'd have no problem riding yao guai.

actually bears run faster then you think they would plus they were at one time tamed by a Indian tribe. sadly they died out a while after because of a small desiece that was actually just a really bad case of the comon cold.

I bet a tortise would be 9 times better then a brahmin as it can carry a lot more.

I dont want to spend all my time running around a city though, would rather see a game that has random and set encounters out in the wastes that can get you unique items and such. I really would like to see patrols and groups around towns and communities like in past Fallout games.

I could see different communities springing up around old nieghborhoods though so there would be different communities just like today how every neighborhood has it's own feel to it

I'd love mounts. As long as they are not too fast, nor to slow, too strong, nor too weak. And not too cartoonish either. For a bear, you could have constructed a harness for it with a seat on the top to so you don't have to worry about the width of the animal and the leaning forward. I'd still like horses though, and/or donkeys. I think they work perfectly in an post-apoc, and I don't see why they should be extinct, they haven't been mentioned There are many animals that aren't mentioned, are they extinct too? Cazadors weren't mentioned till they showed up in the latest game. And I'm not happy with the answer from the Fallout bible:
Although, the question was just about within the area of California. And why would mules outlive horses? They are sterile. I bet there are loads of horses somewhere.

I think he meens donkeys
There so stuborn not even a bomb could move them
Just imagine.
A farmer trying to save his donkey
It wont move
Bomb drops
farmer turns into a ghoul
His Donkeys main turns into spikes and its ears get smaller. last its eyes grow a little bigger and gains nocternal vision.

together they wonder the waste looking for a new place to call home. (they are now close to 900 and are very nice)

don't get me wrong, i'm sure you could ride a bear. but i dont tink i would be comfortable for long distances, nor practical from a food and water standpoint. you'd also have a hard time of convincing anyone to let you into thier town, riding a killing machine like a yao guai

it could be cool in some game.
I judt dont think its very FO.. just my opinion, though.

i think that fallout 4 should be set in a post-apoccalytic water world style wasteland. it would include cities like islands and ships like rivot city from fallout 3. it would include your own ship or raft like boat that you live on and can use to sail around the world to search for treasures or whatever. it would include realistic survival strategy. low amounts of carriable items like in real life. no one would carry everything they found. it takes to much away from the challenge. u would need to sleep/eat/drink to live. you would also have to scavange for food and clean water to make the next day. guns would be very rare by the fact of low ammo. but they would be very valuable. this would teach u to have more value for what u have and strive to scavange for something even better almost like treasure hunting. this is mainly just an idea of mine. let me know what you think.

That's not really fallout...

That's Waterworld.

I have to agree with Boradam that it doesn't really sounds like Fallout. In Waterworld people lives in floating towns out of necessity, there was virtually no habitable land left. In the Fallout universe there's tons of land. However this doesn't mean that you ideas couldn't be adapted. Perhaps you could select a coastal location where off site locations would also make a lot of sense - say the Gulf Coast and people inhabiting old oil platforms.

well what if hawii flooded
or if the volcano blew up

then water world would be opened

I want a Hawaiian Fallout

Time to make another one

Midwest!
