This thread is so that we can keep all the discussion in one place.

This topic is for a friendly discussion of ideas and suggestions for Fallout 4. We all have opinions about what the next game should have and should not have. Each of us has the right to express that opinion freely. There are points we agree on and points we do not agree on. This means that people are going to disagree with you on some things. Accept that and move on. No need to beat your point so far into the ground that no one wants to look at it any more.


At moderator discretion, threads about specific and distinct topics as they relate to FO4 and the rest of the Fallout series may be acceptable in the Fallout Series forum. General idea/suggestion topics for a future Fallout game will either be closed, or moved to this one.

This thread should be used to discuss items you'd like to see in a future game, gameplay tweaks, quest ideas, things you hope are not in the next game and so on. If you want to discuss major issues, use a separate topic - such as the discussion about adding multi-player or co-op play, which already has a thread. Please search first to see if there is an active/recent thread on a particular topic.

Something to note. Discussions of Child Killing is not allowed on these boards. Don't even bring it up in this thread. It won't happen in any future game from Bethesda, so there is no reason to even discuss it. If you post about this subject, you may be Warned and or Banned from the boards for doing so.

This is also not a thread to discuss current or past Fallout Games, other than to mention an aspect of the game you want to see included, or not included, in a future Fallout game.

Smoking. Bethesda if you are worried about hysterical overreaction for allowing smoking, just make it so if we choose to smoke. Key word there choose to smoke. Make it so we lose endurance and become addicted to it, also make the items cost alot or something. The only boost from it would be a temporary gain to charisma but if we go without smoking we lose alot of charisma.

After all the game is full of smokes, characters smoke and we can drink alcohol, go to brothels, kill things and take all manner of different "chems," yet can't have a cigarette? seems silly to me.

Marijuana would be cool to see as well but that might be too risque for them.

You would not take Mario out of Mario bros. you would not take cars out of Forsa and You would not take the Brotherhood out of Fallout. Generic version of Fallout will FAIL !

Mario is the main protagonist of the Mario Bros. Cars are the main focus of Forsa. The Brotherhood are NOT the main focus or protagonist of Fallout. How is it so hard for you to understand that?

I'd like to see a more ... believable fast travel, not just teleporting from anywhere to many predefined spots. Something like Morrowind comes to mind, except with caravans (and random encounters) instead of giant fleas. Keeping to the Fallout bible and other canon props would be nice too.

Also, I'd like the game to be made by Obsidian. OBSIDIAN! *waves flag*

Depends on how the Brotherhood is done. Again the Brotherhood can be completely avoided in Fallout. There is less then a handful of them in Fallout 2, three or so and we can avoid them. In New Vegas they are dying out and fighting to the death the idea of change. Fallout Tactics, that is a different Brotherhood altogether and I would like to see what happens to them. Lions guys are very young and have a mountain of things they need to do in DC and Lions himself says he is following his orginal mission... So depending on where Fallout 4 is set.. there should be no Brotherhood at all. They aren't all over the place and it doesn't make sense for them to just show up in every game.

That is why I suggest having the MWBoS and under Barnaky would be better. It is also why I suggest Chicago. There wouldn't need to be some crazy story about why BoS are there since they are already there. If we do have BoS in the game, please Bethesda make them avoidable and have little to no role in the game. Those are my suggestions on the matter of the Brotherhood.

Oh and if they are in the game, please don't make them the keepers of the Power Armour. Please have other factions and people who have PA and will teach you to use it.

idea for a city name toxic city

toxic city has a nuclear power plant and the air is polluted and is a glowing neon green color. The city has three factories and hazardous waste sites and pollution is all around the city. Ghouls run the city and the nuclear power plant. The city has a wall around it to keep out the feral ghouls. The Feral ghouls would put their hands in the machines. The city is not radioactive but the nuclear power plant and the hazardous waste sites are radioactive. The nuclear power plant makes power for all the factories in the city. The factories makes weapons , Fission battery , and microfusion cells or something like that. The city could have a mine and a steel mill to make scrap metal for the factories.

I would like to see more playable characters like ghoul , Super mutant , Nightkin , android , Human , PIPBoy and a rusted C-27 Series Humanoid robot. A rusted C-27 Series Humanoid robot is the one I would play as.

Please don't have a character run up to us and say "hey you're the one that has been good" and hand us items. It is [censored] annoying and I find myself taking out the biggest weapon I have and shooting the [censored] right between the eyes.

Have it once, but not every single time I walk into the town. There is no point other than saying to the player, "you should play as a good character, you get rewards."
