Anyway one of the core differences between 3 and New Vegas is that in New Vegas you can gamble in the casinos. In Falllout 3 you cannot.

Would a gambling and casino system suit for a game set in Boston?

It just wouldn't be a Fallout game without a casino for quick cash.

Of course.

I don't know about a full fledged casino, but some kind of gambling hall, parlor, what have ya. Gambling and bets would pretty much be a major entertainment activity, and has been, in nearly every FO game. What else ya gonna do with no TV?

3 Didn't have one thoguh.

That's right, it didn't.

Yeah, that was my thought. The back room of a bar with a couple card tables, or a mob-style gambling den. Casinos fit in NV because, well, Vegas. Boston? Not so much.

Russian Roulette is a must.

Only post-war ones. pre-war casinos feel wrong in Massachusetts.

Are you implying that Fallout 3 isn't a 'true' fallout game? If so, I'll remind you obsidian made New Vegas so if any game isn't a real fallout game - is New Vegas.

I hope there is no gambling in Fallout 4. It was...sort of fun in New Vegas but I've had enough of it. Caravan was just a stupid card game and all the other ones were too slow-paced. I'd like to see gambling in terms of just having a slot machine or two somewhere but that's it (no spending hours playing a game or two). I think gambling was the heart and soul of fallout new vegas and they (obsidian) did a good job with it but that feature should stay with New Vegas. TBH the most innovative feature New Vegas did was gambling. Some would say "What about iron sights" it may have been a good idea but it really isn't that hard to add ironsights to a game like Fallout. No, for some reason they spend the most time on gambling, something that should have been left as a simple minigame...Fallout 3 needs minigames, but something new. Like the game cartridges you can put in your pipboy. I don't want to see a minigame in Fallout that they spend so much time on, it takes away from the game in other areas (New Vegas).

Yes. My character needs to kick back and wind down after a hard day of killin'.

yes, please I loved doing them in new vegas I hope I get to do them in fallout 4.

Whoa! What the hell is this? All they meant was that FO3 had no means to gamble unlike the other Fallouts. They didn't mean it wasn't a true FO game. Sheesh! Calm yourself.

Wow not sure how you came to that from what they had discussed, but NV is as much a FO game as any other an perhaps a bit more.

I believe there should be gambling in FO4 as I feel it's a part of the FO universe, and it should have been in FO3.

As I said... only if it's post war gambling. Slot machines and pre-war casinos don't fit into DC or Massachussets... states who are very strict with gambling laws. It would be unfitting to see large pre-war casinos in this regions.

Hahaha, what? You ever been to Foxwoods? Or the new casino that JUST opened up down in Plainville?

That makes absolutely no sense.

But yes, I wouldn't mind a return of gambling. Of course not to the extent of New Vegas with huge casinos, as that was fit for that setting exclusively. Can't see that happening in Boston. But some small gambling den in an old basemant of some sort? That would be nice.

should it have a gambling system? yes. casino? no

Comercial Gambling in Massachussets is legal since 2011. Not really fitting into the 50s theme of Fallout. We even have still Scollay Square in Boston. And Foxwoods? That's Connecticut... And 1980s.

As I said... gambling? Yes. But casinos don't fit into the 50s theme of Boston.

Fallout 4 should definitely have casinos for gambling. Every major Fallout game has them except fallout 3.

Of course, on the west coast, you've got all that stuff in Nevada..... Reno, Vegas, etc. If this game was in the New York/New Jersey area, and stretched to Atlantic City, I'd expect a casino.

Boston? Pool halls, card rooms in the back of bars, mob gambling dens, sure. "Casino"? Not so much.

lol

Yes to gambling! Anything that motivates the PC to spend more time just hanging out in the settlements of the wasteland is a plus to me.

I'm also hoping against all the odds that Caravan will make its way in the game too. Something like that makes such a difference. In Fallout 3, there was nothing to do but quest and trade. In New Vegas you felt more part of the world and its survivors, being able to gamble and play a card of hands with the other people out there.

I liked the slot machines more than caravan.

Some of the concept art shows some pretty seedy looking areas so I'd kind of expect those to have some gambling or races or arena or something.
