To elaborate on two points made above, "setting" can refer to a time and situation as much as a place. This thread should also be used for any such discussion for any potential Fallout titles, not just Fallout 4.

I..I...I say that(ugh) New york(ugh) should defiantly be(ugh) in the next Fallout 4.

Or Chicago.

CHICAGO!!!!!! but both cubs and bears still svck sorry chicago fans

London or Paris.

Chicago with St. Louis, Detroit, and a part of Canada.

I say, not just a city as others would have.. no no my fine feathered friends! much, MUCH more than that.. an entire reigion!
The Four Corners..

Waterways for the entire wester half of the US- someone needs to battle for control over them!
NORAD, What really happened?!?! lets find out!
Military instalations for the mining and enrichment of uranium in Durango Colorado, which aslo has what is possibly the only still working steam engine in the US, CHOO CHOO [censored]es!
Indian ruins for wastelanders to move into after tehier civilizations have been destroyed, Kivas for all!
New exciting animals ripe for the mutating! Gila monsters, Buffallo, Road Runners, Elk and Grizzly bears!
All close enough tot he original Fallout locations, so we can see how the rest of the west is progressing!

Would need the map node system for that :fallout:



Vault Zero, Calculator, its all in Fallout Tactics. The highest level event in Fallout Tactics and Bethesda says "The High-Level events of Tactics are canon."

Unless It's first person and the maps are large and full of places to explore, to node system. Something like what goes on already with the vanilla game and the dlc, but large areas.

I have to agree with Detroit. But I wouldnt want it in a Fallout 4. I would want to wait until the maps can get huge like your suggesting. Maybe multiple maps that include these cities. This would be a good idea as vehicles could be included as transport to these different cities. I know about the gas crisis but maybe now that cars are scarce and fewer people are alive than there could be enough gas to supply this area of the US, and Detroits motor plants can supply cars. The Enclave would be included and obviously want control of the Detroit automobile making factories which would make a Detroit vs Chicago scinario. Multiple factions depending on the city and many different ways to approach life. Maybe a detatchment from the eastern BOS can get involved and be a faction against the Enclave that wouldnt be random. In the end I'm kind of expecting the NCR to take the Western US and the BOS or Enclave to take Eastern US and have a "civil war" East vs West. I cant predict the future though.

If Bethesda's new engine can't have a world that big, sure why not. Just no randomly generated wasteland.

Admittedly I'm biased, but I'd love for a game to take place in the northwest, particularly the Washington-Oregon area. With all the wilderness there could all sorts of freaky deer mutants and even a west coast version of yao gaui (quite a few bears around these here parts, western Washington in particular). Not to mention you have the entire Puget Sound to work with (I'm thinking the San Juan Islands would be a perfect spot for a DLC, nice and secluded.) In all likelyhood it'll probably be based in a more "industrial" city like New York or Chicago but hey, a man can dream.

Fallout: Shanghai
Would give them a chance to make whole new creatures, factions etc. while also exploring what happened to the other country that got nuked. Does anyone else think they should do an international version once and a while?

taking place in Atlanta Georgia and surrounding area, Fallout 5 (i say 5 as this thread says future fallout locations and I think they are already making 4)
The Enclave and BoS have started a war over Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport in hopes of taking the planes and fling to take over another country. The enclave want to re group with there comrades over seas to re take America and put it back into there control (they would use a normal Vertibird but it doesn't have a high enough fuel complicity). The BoS want to find and discover other country's to use there technology against them and the enclave And create a new government for the new United states. The Airport is the last truly working air port after the great war. (Atlanta used all its power to create a shield to protect the airport so when the bombs had landed the people could be evacuated to a secret island built 60 miles off the coast of Antarctica. Sadly the shields went off after the bombs and the toxic rain killed off most of the people who were there. All of hume became ghouls making it the top ghoul home in the US. There are still 30 planes set and ready to fly the skys once again. This praised area has been the cause of many battles but now because of the Talons the Enclave have gotten a slight advantage. (the Talons are working for the Enclave because of money)

The newest faction to join the war is the Reapers. Joining to protect the ghouls and to keep the Enclave and Brother hood from aquiering the Air port. Because of the Reapers know how of ghouls they have been able to put all the airport defenses back online (except the shield) and have managed to talk the ghouls into taking arms to defend there home. the war has been going to the reapers so far but no all is surton in war.

OR

Fallout 4
The Southern Capital
You are a vault dweller of vault 46 located in Atlanta Georgia. You are born into a time of war for Georgia as its largest faction The Red Arrow is planing on taking on the north after a group of BoS members where found. The BoS attacked the Red Arrows thinking they where monsters. This made the red arrow mad and ever sense have been planing on destroying what ever is up in the north. Your vault is cot in the middle as during one of there battles your vault was uncovered and was taken hostage by the BoS. You get lucky and escape in hopes of freeing your vault. You find out the Red Arrow is a large group of animal tamers that controls a total of 74% of the new southern states. There numbers have grown with the addition of a group of talking death claws. There numbers out rival the north 9 to 1 but there technology is low as there only weapons are automatic cross bows and the animals they tame. Whos side will you choose in hopes of freeing your vault or destroying it.


Fallout 4
The Frozen War
You are a marine protecting Alaska from the Chinese. After the Great war what was left of china was sent to Alaska in hopes of taking what metal and oil that was left to rebuild there home land but were greeted by an odd site. A USA army protecting the land. Alaska at the time was the only state not to get a vault so it suffered much. Like much of the world there was a large toxic rain that had infected the state but it wasn't the same. The cold had turned the rain to snow. It had the same effects but it hit harder and only lasted a simple 2 days. The clouds however staid as if frozen in place by the very snow it produced. The Chinese where scared of this fact when they where sailing here claiming that they looked like floating mountains. Most Alaskans died. all who were left were marines whos bases had bunkers. This battle has been going on for 177 years and still is strong. Will you keep the fight going or will you end it.
side note (most creatures here are smaller or fatter compared to there waste land counter parts)

Fallout 4
Island of fire
You are a child who was put into vault one build out of the Hawaiian Volcano. The lava was drained and used to help make small islands far from the main land in hopes of actually making a new country safe from the war. this plan failed as the war started before the island had cooled. back at Hawaii Vault one was finish being built and was free for all of the islanders. You are five and your family had the lucky fortune of getting in line next to your best friend. As you get closer to the door you start to hear buzzing and every one looks up. The nukes had arrived but the ships defending the island where able to fight off most. Seeing the bombs your family runs for the vault. The door starts shutting and you are lifted in the air. your dad throws you there the door with your best friend right before it closes. Only half the island made it in. Once in you are taken to a large cryostasis bed where you will sleep for 100 years. Once awake some people leave the vault. Many are dead. You meat you best friend and you both go out to see this new world. once grown you find your new homes government is corrupt and wants to turn all of Hawaii into slaves. You fight for your freedom finding monsters mutated by the toxic rain. (the only old fashion monsters are ghouls and Mirelurks. The rest are sea based creatures who evolved thanks to the toxic rain. ) You explore all the islands in homes of gaining followers to over throw this government. Will you take over and lead or will you just be as corrupt as the last leader.

Right that's why the bears almost made it to the Superbowl year.

I say Chicago I hope that whatever new game engine they use it will be able to handle a massive map that'd be needed for locations like Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, and New York.

They have a word in Australia for people that "Almost" win...

I think a lot could be done with Chicago... Make it a bit like Reno in how the Mob run it...

I agree I could picture chicago or new york being a new location.

Why not make a fallout where you can travel the entire united states tie all the games together! West coast areas have more fallout 1/2/NV weapons and armor. Mid-west has all the things from tacticfs, and heading to the east coast has all the fallout 3 weapons and armor types. If they did the whole united states thing there would have to be vehicles involved and some towns just aren't accessable by vehicles would be a good excuse why some towns where in the previous games and not the new game.

Yeah if we had a better Offensive line then the Packers would not have won but yes the mob called the Outfit here and the CCDP (Although they're worse then any mafia family) should be in the game

Randomly generated wasteland would just plan svck nowadays, it would end up just getting repetitive.

Bethesda says that fo tactics main events are canon. Thing is that THE main event ( the ending ) has never come to light.

IMO fo4 must plug a 10 year old hole in the fo story line by having a continuation of the story of the mid west bos.

If they are canon we need to know what is going on there......

could be good.............. may be a grayish shade of grey.

Japan, Germany or Texas.

Why?

Japan= ninja/ samurai factions and a suitable location for hardcoe mode

Germany= would be cool tto see 3 factions= Nationalism, Communism and Democratic

Texas= because it's in the US and it could be a cold war between Texas and Mexico because Mexico is blaming the US for the Great War

I think New Mexico for the whole alien theme that goes with the Fallout series and the option to go into Texas later on in the game

I would like to see the Commonweath appear some day. Boston would be a pretty cool city to see nearly destroyed.

Other than that I would like to see what's going on with the MW Brotherhood in Chicago.

Alien theme in Fallout? Ugh.

One of many reasons I play Fallout is that it's a sci-fi game without aliens (except for occasional easter eggs)

Tecnically, Aliens wouldnt even have to actually be significant or there to make area 51 an area rich in lore.
It could be that tribals got a hold of some Roswell tour guide pamphlets and took them as literal, forming some kind of religion or cult around them.

Though i have gone into some in depth debate (around the time that MZ was released) on how aliens most certainly do fit in the fallout universe as world of tomorrow style social commentary via the majesty of film-essentially being the same, symbolically, as the rad creatures, gouhls and mutants. i dont really want them as a focus either.

I hated Mothership Zeta, the Alien thing was just a silly easter egg added in for fun, the same thing about Harolds tree, Bethesda went and took them way too seriously and way too far...
