I wanted to start a series of post that went into the lore of the fallout series based on location. This will focus on a city and a general area around it similar to FO3 and FONV. So i wanted to look into the lore for each city and didn't know where to start, so eventually i chose boston even though i am still mad at survivor2299. However, i would also like to here from the rest of the forum which city they would like to see in future sequels and i will look up lore to give a backstory and try to make canon predictions.
IF BOSTON
If boston becomes the setting of fallout 4 I won't be that suprised. Numerous explanations of the institute exist and the androids will play a big role. However, i am a crackpot so here is some theories about the boston setting.
1. Brotherhood of Steel- the brotherhood will play a minor role in this. I think the brotherhood outcasts from fallout 3 will play a bigger role than a main chapter of the BoS.
2. Power Armor- with so little interference from the enclave or the BoS, power armor will be hard to aquire in the game. That is unless the Institute has power armor suits or there is a mission to find an ancient suit of power armor.
3. better energy weapons- if the Institute is a major power we can hope to see newer, more powerful, and more outlandish energy weapons across the boston area.
4. Return of the assualt rifles. nothing else needs to be said. (please give the AK back)
5. a person from a foreign country- Players and developers alike can't seem to get the thought of other countries having successful survivors as well and if this does occur it could reveal a new story arc for a future game.
6. the vaults experiments getting more creepy or shocking- each vault had an experiment done on it and i can't wait to see what the evil producers of the vaults intended. this being said it would be obvious there is a mission to recover the data on these experiments for the institute.
7. secret enclave branch arises- the enclave were non-existent in new vegas so it would make sense to bring them back as an antogonist.
many many more theories pop into my head for boston, but if you leave a potential city for the next games i will research the lore and make predictions for that city as well. i like when people laugh at my theories and predictions.
