Coney Island to the south--OH GOD never mind!! I changed back to NYC!!!

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 to now how many real life miles the maps for Fallout 3 and New Vegas are seeing how most of the locations are based off of real life. Then I think with this new engine there coming out with we can assume that the area of the next game will be at least double that. For example if the map was 50 miles long by 50 miles wide then with the new engine we can assume the next game will be 100 miles long by 100 miles wide. Last but not least there won't be any map nodes the technology has long surpassed them.

Doesn't have anything to do with technology though.

Fallout 4: All that remains

The last of the Enclave looking for the last of the US governments great computers and the stockpiles of FEV in lost vaults, never completed by Vaultec. All the surviving Masters Nightkin and Supermutants have moved into the Commonwealth looking for the same lost vaults and answers to their existence. But androids have rebelled and civil war ensues. Enter the BOS, who have been trying for years to get any tech from the Commonwealth and are supporting the rebel androids. Who and what the Lone Wanderer is, I don't know, pick a side and hold on. :flamethrower:


This may sound a bit harsh, but the idea of post apocalyptic NYC would be as tasteful as using Japan, too many bad memories for so many, and NYC has been used so much that it's almost a cliche to see Lady Liberty in ruins. IMHO.

No more big roles for Enclave and Brotherhood, It's too much. East Coast Enclave remnants (I don't know, maybe even a Colonel Autumn cameo) and an Outcast outpost or something (not Lyons Brotherhood, they're annoying). Also, Master's Army has nothing to do with the East Coast muties. I'm hoping for a western super mutant companion that has been around the country and can be a lore machine, but no more than that. As for the Commonwealth and Androids, I'd say yes. It's something that is Bethesda's creation. Bring a not stupid Talon Company, some tribes, and some other paramilitary organization, and then you've got a unique Fallout setting without a bunch of rehashing.

What doesn't please be more specific

"Last but not least there won't be any map nodes the technology has long surpassed them."

Technology doesn't have anything to do with it. It's a design choice.

Well, I'll give you that it is a design choice but back when Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout: Tactics were created the tech for more detail smaller map so they used less detail bigger map to compensate.

Wrong there, the maps were bigger AND more detailed.

really so each map node was the size of the entire New Vegas map

Edinburgh?

The Commonwealth -
I think it is only logical that one of the future Fallout games takes place in the commonwealth (Massachusetts). Working either for or against the Institute, the institute would be a cool setting because it's sealed from the outside world, and contains lots of advanced technology.

San Francisco-
I think it would be cool to have an explorer or outcast sent to San Francisco. This part of the the Fallout world is now controlled by the Shi. This setting could provide more of Chinese perspective of life in the Wasteland. The area also has the Vagrants and BoS.

Chicago-
Another location that was mentioned in Fallout 3 and on ED-E in fallout NV. Has lots of active tribes, and BoS (Midwestern Brotherhood).
