I'm highly amused by how every single thread on this topic involves the same people rehashing the same old arguments...

We don't know yet what the canon ending of New Vegas is, just because we had the option to kill Caesar and Lanius does not mean that will be canon. In either case I still feel that Flagstaff would be a very interesting location and its the place I want to see the most.
We're impassioned people, do you want to contribute to the discussions?

Would not mind seeing more on the Legion. All I can suspect it to be like is Greek Society. Freedom of the slave owners & a strong military.

Though it would be nice if this was kept in the Americas. The rest of the world is cut off, but you have a vast bit of every culture in this small bit of two continents.

You mean, Roman, not Greek.

I believe I have... I just don't tend to harp on the same shot-down argument over and over again.

The Deep South would also be an interesting location. Swamps in Louisiana, most of New Orleans submerged, aerospace research facilities in Huntsville, air strips and military bases galore, Smoky Mountains, the ruins of Atlanta (which has a metro tunnel system)...

Rad-mutated razorbacks... mountain lions... alligators...

F3's "Point Lookout" DLC gave us only a taste of what was possible. Possible DLC locations include Florida Keys, Galveston, and (oh, look at me repeating myself!) Fort Knox and Oak Ridge.

We already know a lot about Caesar and the legion. Ceasar used to be a follower of the apocalypse when he found a tribe (that I think he then changed the name of them to Caesars legion) and tought them how to use guns and maintain them. Then they went out and started making alliances with other tribes and after they were done using them they would force them to join the legion. If anyone did not agree they would crucify them. Also they would take the women and make them slaves ( that's fun living in a area were you could become a slave at any second). If they did make a game were the legion are a big influence then being a girl would be impossible because you would become a slave.

This only tells us about how the Legion was started and its military, we don't know anything about their actual citizens.

A female courier could join the Legion so it's possible (however unlikely) that a female could be a citizen/soldier, and not just a slave.

While I dont think this is a bad idea its just that If Bethesda did this everyone would complain that its just skyrim with guns (not knocking skyrim i love that game).

Yeah I Guess but still it is very unlikely and it goes against a lot about the legion

I'd like to see a Ghoul group/faction, that isn't a bunch of pushovers. Sort of like the Reservation, if Beth doesn't ever actually add them into a game, but something like them in a game, where they're looking to turn the world into a Ghoul world. They could be a secret organization too, that's not easily able to be discovered, and is really more rumor than fact, for most out in the wasteland, except for those few Ghouls who know about them, and other wastelanders who fight them or something.

I think a lot of people are saying cities and areas that they know, so it's that reason why I've said it before and I'll say it again, New York City would be awesome to play in. I guess it's just the idea of seeing the Big Apple crumbling under two centuries of weathering and erosion that make me want to walk down Broadway. I could just imagine people trying to recreate how New York was by trying to put shows on in the old theaters, I'd love to see Times Square (obviously called something else, since it's known as Times Square cause of the New York TImes' office, but I digress) crumbling, billboards fallen in the streets, and the area now used as a trading center because of the many shops. Also, the area could provide many interesting DLCs, like a tribal DLC much like a combination of the Harold quests of Fallout 3, and Honest Hearts, there could also be one involving a mafia style town located in the Meadow Lands (Giants' Stadium, woot woot!).

Before anyone says it, how is New York in a post apocalyptic setting cliche? I really can't think of a single piece of media that is post apocalyptic and in New York.

It's not necessarily that post-apocalyptic New York is a cliche, it's that New York is a cliche. It's just used in an insane amount of media and in my opinion, Fallout should be reserved for less-covered locations. It's more unique that way. And even if they don't do that, New York is just so over-used.

I Am Legend was set in New York, the movie, not the book.

Its been done a few times but New York in general is very cliche.

I'm tired of movies being set here.

I'm going against myself when I say this but...
-Escape From New York
-I am Legend
-The Day After Tomorrow
-Soylent Green
-Time of the Great Freeze
-Captive Women
-Damnation Alley
-2019, After the Fall of New York
-Dead and the Gone
-World Made by Hand
Some of these aren't really post-apocalyptic in the nuclear sense, but, I digress.

And while New York is cliché, again, the idea of seeing such a grand city wrecked from nuclear holocaust is too exciting.

Washington DC, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Las Vegas, yes, these are very unique and unknown areas >.>

I love the people who exclaim that they'd love a Fallout game outside of the U.S. Just completely missing the entire point of Fallout. Of course Bethesda near-completely missed the point of Fallout so I'd wager they'd be the right folks to do it.

EDIT: though an annexed Canada would work, I suppose.

The next Fallout should be based in Ohio. That state is so cool!!!11!

Scratch that, the next Fallout should be on the moon.

I'd like to see the next game set in the Commonwealth (Boston, MIT, and that whole area). It makes the most sense that the next game will be there since Bethesda already has established lore for the area and it would be close enough to D.C. so we might hear whats happending/happended in the Capital Wasteland since Fallout 3 and also close enough to to D.C. for Lyon's BoS to be included in the game on some scale whether its a small or large role. I'd prefer a smaller role somewhere between what their role was in Fallout 3 and Fallout NV.

From what I understand the entire point of Fallout is humanities never ending struggle against itself. I don't see how this message can only be directed at the US.

I'm not saying it should be the next one or even the one after that, but somewhere down the line I would like to see a game or at least a DLC set in another country.

Do you mean the Mojave Brotherhood Chapter?

That is the Fallout game's main idea, man's struggles with his mistakes, but setting the game outside the US is unrealistic because according to lore, Europe was thrown into hellish and unruled city-states, and China was probably completely obliterated, it woud be stupid to say "Oh hey look, China made their own versions of Vaults, herp derp".

A war fueled with nuclear tension, why wouldn't other nations try to make bomb shelters? Besides I think its ridiculous to assume that the US is the only place in the world where humans have survived.
