This thread is so that we can keep all the discussion, rumors and speculation 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.

Personally I'm hoping Bethesda does something other than making the Pip-Boy the default inventory system, I'd like to get a healthy mix of standard Pip-Boy style and TES style inventory systems. What I really want it for is books, I'd love to be able to see damage and wear when reading Pre-War books similar to how it is in TES, not just seeing the generic Pip-Boy font. This could open up other options too, instead of using the standard Pre-War books they can be novels, history books, or newspapers that would give interesting little tidbits of lore.

Why should there be any overlap with TES in the least? This is not TES (or is it? ), it should not have TES further grafted to it (more than it already is ).

The problem with the books, is that TES books come from past TES games... they don't have any of those for Fallout.
