Where should the next Fallout game take place?

We've already seen Washington and Las Vegas in Fallout games. Where would you like to see the next Fallout game take place? American cities/metropolitan areas only please.

An Alaska game would be cool, since it would be very cold and most likely have very different mutants than the continental US.

I voted for New York both times, don't really know a great deal about the others, though I could probably have selcted them for the same reasons I selected New York. I'm thinking New York city would make for a fantastic, claustrophobic Fallout experience at street level. Disjointed, devestated, dark. It'd make for a great contrast to the open Wastelands of at least the previous two games. But NYC has been done to death in video games, and I don't know if it could really be done any better, or differently than other recent games.

Personally, I'd like to see China. A retro vision (if retro applies to China in that timeline) of the alternate China would make for a great, creative project, with loads a room for innovation on the design side of things. Move it away from the Western retro vision we all know so well, and which has been pretty common in games with a 'quirk'. Stubbs, BioShock, Fallout etc. :shrug:

NY, Detroit, New Orleans, St. Louis. Voted a few others, but those are the ones that "really have it":

New York is simply iconic, cosmopolitan. You want it, it can be found there.

St. Louis has iconic structures, musical tradition, geographical features to play with.

New Orleans has the musical tradition, distinct culture, and so forth to make an excellent FO setting.


However, Detroit is where it's really at for a multitude of angles all wrapped in one game:

Music, mainly Motown, but it would be a nod to the city as well to have a post-nuclear techno station being born
History, in the form of the Henry Ford Museum
Industrialization- because it's what we do
Lack of direct nuclear hazards, because nuking the Great Lakes is prettty much "off the table" in military circles (too valuable a resource)
Factions, because if there's one thing living here would teach you, it's that we can't agree on anything except "*&^&*^*^ Ohio State"
Canada- because there's no sane way to map the area without including it.
Varied environments- Suppose you choose about a 50x50 mile patch of Metro Detroit for the game. You'd include Urban Detroit, dense suburbia (livonia/Canton), and farms near the Wayne-Washtenaw county line. Likewise, you'd have the very conservative/business Oakland county in the same map as the liberal/academic Ann Arbor area... and that's without trying to really paint the diversifications within these areas.

Plus, there's that Uniroyal tire that just BEGS for some Fallout humor.

I think the fallout series is coming to an end. Time to bring on the MMO.

I voted for New Orleans, but Nashville, TN might also be interesting. Those are popular nightlife cities, so there is a lot that Bethesda could do with either.
