Okay guys, what do you want to see in Fallout 4? Not what do you think we'll see, but what would be your dream project? If you were making this game, what would be the gist?

For me, obviously hopefully they'll use the Creation engine and it'll be better than Gamebroyo. What I'd like to see is a Fallout set in the Southern California area, specifically Los Angeles. There's a lot you could do with this. I would begin in a vault again up in the mountains, and you escape and it's a little Jeremiah Johnson like at first.

However, you eventually work your way toward the coast. You could do a whole thing that riffs on the idea of classic Hollywood and have that be a motif kinda like New Vegas. I would have a bombed out Los Angeles skyline with lots of crumbling buildings, and the big final battle would take place there. I would also add in vehicles, and in the big battle for part of it you can fly one of the vertibirds as you attack downtown LA.

I'd also work the coast line in with the idea of taking ocean water and using it as drinking water. One idea I think would be very cool is to have a pier that kinda leads to a Bioshock Rapture type city, leaking but still around that goes under the water and is built along the shoreline in the sea. You could maybe have it under control of a gang that's obsessed with drugs, and one of your missions takes you there.

I would also deal with the idea of slavers and have them be a full on named group like Caesar's Legion. They would stage gladiator matches in a newly built shanty-colosseum near the beach, and depending on your choices you may end up fighting in the arena or betting on it or gaining control of it and either shutting it down or gaining profits. I would keep the reputation system and expand on it.

Like I said, some vehicles would be a nice addition. The map would be the coast to the mountains, with Los Angeles and Hollywood in the middle. I'd maybe have a casino on Pacific Coast Highway, and in the story I'd deal somewhat with the concept that the LA area is being rebuilt slowly and various groups are vying for power of what they believe "could be a fully functioning city again one day."

Have an option to choose your level progression rate.

In my first play through of FONV I did only a few of the side quests and the main story line quests and the level progression was about right. But when I started doing a new play through doing a lot of side quests I hit the level cap about a third of the way though the main story line, I ended up scraping that one and started another after I modded the IXP Base Bump. I started of on a IXP base bump of 200 and that didn’t seem too quick until I got to about level 10 when I switched to IXP base bump to 250, I felt I changed up too soon but now I am at level 16 it feels about right. But I will likely to change up to 300 later in the game.
I felt the same with FO3.

Honestly, there isn't much I would want to change from the basic mechanics of the game at present. I'd like to see smarter enemies and a bigger map with lots of places to explore, but other than that, if the writing is solid, I'll be happy. As far as the setting goes, I think New Orleans would be interesting.

Maybe use the relevant thread in the CORRECT forum?

Los Angeles was in Fallout already.

The ability to capture enemies.

In FO3 sometimes when an enemy was nearly dead they would hide and cringe and in FONV I am now seeing enemies who are near death starting to runaway. At that time I would like the opportunity to capture them instead of killing them. Another time I would like to capture someone is when I am sneaking up on an enemy. If I can get with in touching distance of them instead of killing them capture them. Once captured I can sell them to slavers or turn them in to what ever authorities there are for caps and XP.
