Hey guys, I had an idea for a possible dlc for fallout 4! The idea comes from the glactic conquer mode from the original star wars battlefront (I think that's what the mode was called) anyways I was thinking about either added a new area or using the Commonwealth whatever works best and adding like a control and conquer system. (It may be easier to add to a new area so then you don't mess with anything in the vanilla game) so imagine being with whatever faction you chose in the game. For me I chose the brotherhood of Steel so I'm gonna use them as an example. Elder maxson would give you orders saying they found a new location with a new piece of tech they need. And he is sending you do go take it. He is also giving you a mobile command center. Maybe something similar to the prydwen maybe something completely different. And you have to go there and command the brotherhood to take over the new area. This would add massive wars and constant battles. This would also add strategy. I imagine the commanding system being something similar to the game dice wars. I also think it would be cool if you can personally go to these battles and help out however there are other battles happening at the same time so you have to choose wisely. The locations that you fight over can also give bonuses. For example if you take control over a metal factory then the brotherhood can use alot more power armor troops. I also imagine the settlement building mechanic to work well with this. Maybe not so much building fortresses but just being able to add turrets and pieces of cover. I also would like to see a system where instead of just going to the location and killing all enemies there a side objectives to help the battle go faster. I imagine the battles having like a tug of war aspect to it so you vs the ai and you each have to complete these misc objectives to gain more of the "rope" I imagine these like ecort the scribe to the location or retrieve the Fatman munitions. You could also try and stop the ai from completing there objectives. I also think this could have an excellent story to go along with it. Maybe add a new enemy faction, and after some time in the war events unfold and you are given some difficult choices. Maybe you find out that one of your trusty people are actually a double agent and they take you to a location that you recently just bombed and you find the corpses of many innocent people. Then you are tasked the with choice of continuing the war or changing how you fight to make it more safe but harder. Or maybe even going to the other faction completely. I just think this would be a excellent opportunity to touch on the horrors of war. Maybe with the more locations you conquer you get more powerful perks and one of the last ones is a nuke and you have to choose if you wanna use such a weapon or not. I also think there could be alot of other possibilities with the war. Maybe if your a stealth character you can infiltrate the enemy faction and try to sabotage them from the inside. I do believe that the commanding system needs to be used on the pip boy though rather than some terminal on your mobile hq. I do also have alot more ideas and more details with this but it's just simply top much to write out so if say you Bethesda are interested feel free to contact me!

Not to sound combative, but walls of texts are bad. Break that up into paragraphs. It'd be much easier to read.

That being said, its not a bad idea. However, its unlikely they will add it. Just look at any dlc they have ever released, for new vegas as well. Take that as a baseline for what we can expect. New quests, new lands, and if we are lucky some base game mechanics thrown in. (like vampires or werewolves)

Now for the hopeful bit, modders can implement most of your idea. The idea has already been bandied about in the modding forum. Giving rare tech items and locations over to control of whichever faction your loyal to for some sort of benefit.

Oh, you mean Anchorage?

I actually really liked Anchorage! I just wish it had like more open worldness to it if that makes any sense?
