I think it should be Florida. Florida has a lot to offer as a fallout location. Part of the map would be an overgrown super everglades.

I've got to say Louisiana because 1: It's my home and would love to see it in fallout form (weird right?) and 2: Mutant alligators would be amazing enemies

Somewhere outside of America would be cool.. to see what happened with the rest of world... Berlin could be pretty good with all it's WW2 bunkers... London, Rome, Paris and so on are good places too... :D

Fallout set in London would be cool. there are some of the most recognisable landmarks in the world and possibility for brand new types of weapons, armour, creatures, factions. the only problem is the size but maybe some of the underground trains can still be used to get around...

Look up the map size for the game FUEL.


Yes but that's around the size of Connecticut. And I have a hard time believing that is to scale. Even if it is, again, that's Connecticut. The entirety of New York state in a game is a remarkably larger task. It just won't happen for a very long time, if ever. No matter how much technology develops to where it would be possible, I'm not sure I would even want such massiveness in a game and developers would take the massive amounts of time to construct such a big gameworld.

Easily solved, do not create one big map but use several smaller maps. You can have ordinary terrain being randomly generated for the areas between the maps, there are several ways you can travel between maps.

Well before my topic about a massive city got locked out for good reason I wanted to clarify, I'm not talking about building the damn thing from scratch that's impossible I meant something already there. Or somewhere where the railroads all come together and connects to certain parts of the country. I really think that a hub city would be a good idea.

Randomly generated terrain breaks emergion easily in 1st or 3rd person... I would be fine with three or four seperate maps but not randomly generated areas.

I'm actually hoping Fallout 4 is based in Chicago (with Detroit in a smaller map) and Fallout 5 being based in New York (with New York City, Kingston, and Long Island)

Or just have a node system... The thing is, I don't think a map size of New York would be fun. It would either be horridly compressed, or so large with copy/paste stuff everywhere that it would be tedious to travel around. No matter whether it is doable, what I'm saying is that for a game, a sandbox map of that size is just too big. I am absolutely in favor of large maps, though. Large enough that getting to a settlement with the timescale of Fallout: New Vegas/Fallout 3 would take a couple of days when taking resting at night into account. So significantly larger. But if it gets much bigger, it's just too much.

I think it would be good set it in the United Kingdom.

Resistance Fall Of Man is set in a destroyed and Chimiera invaded UK. It is a awesome game. Dark, scary and interesting.

Not many games are set in the UK.

And it can make a good setting for horror games.

Also it could be good set it Europe, in a centralised area. With lots of diferent races.


Also it would be good to set it in Asia. Japan, China, etc.

It would be good if it was set partly in The Commonwealth.

Or it could be set on a mobile base. Like a huge ship or something.

If it could be set in diferent areas you could travel round it would be awesome.

See my reply in the previous topic. It's not really a good idea for Fallout, no matter how much you'd like to see a post-apocalyptic Germany. Wouldn't be realistic if all the german wastelanders speak english.

It wouldn't feel like a Fallout game either. The Americana drips from Fallout heavily and gives it the feel it has that makes it so great.

I'm Still voting for Alaska, it would be really funny if they made the US army descendants & Chinese descendants allies who totally forgot about the war, and have them fighting across the Bering Strait (Which could have some cool bridge of ice, land, ships, or a bridge created between alaska & russia? But it could be cool to see people from other countries.

Alot of people seem to like to go to Alaska again. Is it just me that think winter landscapes in games tend to be so colorless (well, they are)? They are just white, black and different shades of gray, only thing that should be like that in Fallout is the karma system. :) I'd like it a bit further down than Alaska, maybe there's snow, but it's beginning to thaw, so in many places you see patches of grass, and then there's the green fir and pine trees. And if there are lakes, you see some ice, maybe drift ice, maybe it's in Canada by the Great Lakes and you see shelf ice. Imagine an afternoon in this landscape, the sun is standing low but it casts a warm light, and the snow on that side of the house is thawing, and you can hear it dripping, and the birds sing.... and then the [censored] Enclave lands with vertibirds everywhere, and they have another space crawler, and they're back in full force again! And the F3-[censored] rejoice!

Fallout: Oklahoma. A roaring rad tornado blows through and removes some buildings completely off the map! Play long enough and the tornadoes will have removed every single building leaving nothing but flat ground!

The sequel:
Fallout: Kansas
All the buildings from Fallout Oklahoma landed here!

Oh and there will be no difference between pre-apocalypse and post apocalypse roads in Oklahoma both are absolutely worthless.

But to be serious and add to the topic I would like to see the next one in the South. I'd like to see my fellow southern nuclear war survivors would handle things.

Just gonna go ahead and drop my obligitory "Set the next Fallout in the Four Corners area" post

I really, really llike the idea of tribals re-claiming old native american ruins.... Places like Mesa Verde would be easily foritified into protected communities, using the canyon/cliff walls to reamain essentially hidden from raiders and other undesirables. Some had creek beds running through could provide water, couple that with the possiblity of mutated buffalo being run off of cliffs, and you've got yourself a pretty good economy for those settlements that could be utilized as trading posts, or remain hidden oasises with unique cultures. Here is a link to a map of indian ruins within that reigion.. as you can see there are quite a few. http://www.amwest-travel.com/awt_canyonlands_co2.html.

The riegion is also filled with gold and silver mines and Durango even has a uranium mining and milling facility that could have a point of interest as a pre-war source for unrainium for bomb production- This area would obviously be a mecca for gouhls to make pilgrimage to.

There are alo TONS of those mega huge "souvenier" shops that dot the current indian reservations, particularly where they meet the highways.
Those places sell everything from fireworks and camping supplies to huntig knives, pistols and rifles... perfect for the post-apoc scavenger, or highwaymen encampment.

The thing about a desert environment that makes it an appealing setting for Fallout is that even without the great war decimating everything, its a harsh and unforgiving environment, as beautiful as it is. This gives a great in-game mood of desolation, potentially placing huge importance on rationing of essential items.
"Last gas for 100 miles"

Wildlife like coyotes, rattlesnakes, gila monsters, horned toads, antilions (how sweet would gaint mutated antlions be?), road runners (gaint mutated, possible caravan utilization?)..... i could go on and on.

I know some dont want desert because that environment has been done in fallout games. But even deserts are quite different from one another, and this reigion is dfinately proof of that.

ALSO: Fallout 4... Four Corners? come on now! the real question is how can it NOT be set in this location?!

Thank you for your time.

I like a couple of your ideas but I don't really want to revisit a desert setting.

It's just that not much physically changes in a desert, besides radioation, mutants, and the occasional destroyed building. Suburban and urban enviroments feel more post apocalyptic IMO.

Plus we have already had three games set in the west and one set in the midwest and one set in the east. I think they should return to the west in two or three games but not the next one. I'm hoping for either Fallout 4: Chicago, having a large map stretching from Chicago to Rockford to Moline to Springfield to Danville (that's probably too big but if it's possible I hope they do it0, with another map in Micigan, strechting from Pontiac to Warren to Ann Arbor to Monroe with Detroit and a small part of Canada in it. There could also be other small maps in St. Louis (Maybe a DLC).

(EDIT-) Or Fallout 4 being in New York with New York City, Long Island, the Long Island sound, and everything up to Newburgh in one map, with another map from Kingston, past Albany, to Troy, to Binghampton and all of the suburban and rural areas in between, with a possible DLC in Buffalo, Lake Erie, and part of Canada. I have high hopes for the furutre of Fallout.

I'd like a node-based map covering the entirety of New England, while the individual nodes, encounters, and areas being sandboxes approximately 2/3 the size of Point Lookout.

Fallout: motor city
The 1950's rock 'n roll era in Detroit would be awesome, you could visit some nice places like the fox theater, the D.I.A, and also there is many suburbs around that i believe should be a part of fallout games.
Creating mini maps such as chicago, parts of canada, and maybe even new york would be great.
the culture in that area is diverse so there would always be variety in the game.
And also having vehicles, and more diverse races would be pretty nice such as; native americans, ghouls, and supermutant

I agree with all except Chicago should be tha main focus IMO and New Yprk should have it's on game, not a minimap of a Detrpit or Chcago game.
