I think they should remain in the wasteland for him start because me would interest like it goes on after deadly of the main character and then like in start, a time screen comes and then comes for example 10 years Later to NewYork is where all Damaged something like that would be really cool. Maybe a other bigger state but i think it is better that the location is not so far away from D.C

Sorry for the many grammar mistakes my english is very very bad But i understand what is meant.

Fine, i can't handle Fall Out 3 for the moment at this computer, but I got a idea of Fall Out 4, I thougth about a metropolic city somewhere on the globe, most likely a metropolic city not being bombarded down by a-bombs , a metropolic city wich might have a nearly intact infrastructure (ofcourse 200 years of no spending on roads might have got on them) there might even be larger vehicles more or less being operated, not by gasoline but humans tend to be resourcefull i'f it comes to that point think about the Old Eastern Germany Trabants who used to run party on ordinary wood ... Maybe even outside the US there were being vaults (or similair things), builded before the war, or on other way people survived (mutated), the last 200 years and the city is more or less a busy place, being parted in different districts of the old city, with there own leaders, and there own ideals, you the player can join up with one of the factions the city has but every thing you do for you factions will have a impact on all the factions and on the city, in the end there are a couple of endings you can have, one of them for sure is that you blow up the city, the less evil endings are that the city will get a 'coupe' most likely by you or you're partners ...It's pretty much a post apocalytpic urban strategic roleplaying adventure....

The map in Fallout 3 is pathetically small, the locations are practically tripping over themselves. Fallout 4 should be made by a company compitent to handle Fallout, and it should include the entire http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BosWash. And it should have a car.

And since Bethesda loves subways so much, I'm sure they'd have a blast loading up the Northeast Corridor with mentally retarded Super Mutants, mentally retarded Deathclaw, and feral ghouls who apparently don't know how to use weapons or speak for no apparant reason.

Chernobyl or Iraq I think lol, how could Chernobyl get any more radioactive? I mean the cows must surely glow green by night hahahaha and Iraq is politically still very topical besides seeing a group like Bethesda Softworks modelling a glass dessert could be cool...............

I would go for something in the south like Miami and then give the option to go to the Florida Keys and the Everglades.

Yeah I was suprised about how small the map looked. Someone I think said it is the same 16sq mile playing field from Oblivion but it feels a lot smaller if it is. It'd take about 30 minutes to get through the northmost of Oblivion all the way down to the bottom. In Fallout 3 It takes about 20 or less minutes depending on the obstacles (and I think you run slower). There's subways all over the place in D.C. because...well It's D.C... and people move around...by the subway. I do admit though some of the "Underground tunnels/basemant" Halls are a lil bit bland if it weren't for the combat. I do appreciate the quests in Fallout a lot better though. They're more exciting or twisted compared to quest in some other games.

Anyways, Fallout 2 did have a car you could run off of micro fusion cell. a car would be interesting for a bigger map but considering the uneven and rocky wasteland it'd be a pain to drive an old 60's (or etc.) car on it. Though if some citizen npcs found a way to construct a jeep in a town or camp that a player can take, it could be possible. Plus considering the fast travel mechanic new to Fallout would basically render a car useless except for the more stubborn players (It took me awhile to use the fast travel systems until I started getting into a lot of quests. It also helps getting by all the streets covered in impassible rubble ^.^) .

Manhattan sounds like a good mixed environment for the team to get creative with. Supposedly it also gives a lil more breathing room. Note: I'd take the full 30sq miles if possible... Fallout did seem small in comparison to Oblivion.

I'd like to see it take place in Canada. Since it was annexed by America in the Fallout universe, there's a large potential there that has been untapped.

I would like a Fallout set in New York, but that wouldn't have much wasteland and would only be based in the city.

Frankly, I'd just to see something a little more open. In FO3, a lot of places are just cut off by rubble. That's a cheap way to limit where I can explore, Bethesda. Just allow me to explore everything and stop being jerks. Anyone else want to explore the Capitol Building? Too bad.

The reason the game wouldn't really work in a country other than the US is because of the style. Coming from the UK I know that our 50's styling was nowhere near as iconic as the diners and the greased back hair styles in the US. The established lore would pretty much me non-existent in other country's as well (no vault tech, bro of steel or enclave)

My fancy would be NY as it has so many iconic landmarks and would be great to explore the dilapidated landmarks of Manhattan and the boroughs.

I say Philadelphia, it has alot of good boundaries, city scape, ect.

Canada's a possibility, as there's a chance to find a Vault-Tec letter in a mailbox that states that Vault-Tec Vaults are opening in "newly annexed Canada".

FO 4 must be set in the center of the universe: Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
They can even have a crazy mayor living in a destroyed town hall.

Australia. Oh wait....that is Mad Max hehe. Ok seriously...I think they should revisit the southern states and just focus on Texas. It could be a post nuclear western to the upteenth degree and it would kickass.

That or the moon

Moon Vault 14 ftw.

I think Tokyo or somewhere in China would work good for fallout 4

Obsidian Entertainment?

Flooded Post apocalyptic London with it's gorgeous architecture and rich history. It would be partialy marroned from the rest of England splitting the city up into islands like zones, fast travel could be implemented with boats. The royal house hold could still be intact creating some interesting factions, Royalist and Round heads.

I dont know ... I've started to play fallout 3 and I've played Oblivion.. I just feel that the games svcks because you can end Oblivion at lvl 1 and no monsters that are impossible to kill at low lvls .. Now I heard when I read on a forum that it is the same with fallout 3 and I am only at the springvale school (that was my first place after I left the vault)

I am feeling that I almost dont want to play fallout 3 because of that and if it is the same in fallout 4 I wont bother to get it.
Both Oblivion and Fallout 3 have awesome graphics but its boring when the monsters have the same lvl as you and that there are no monsters at higher lvls

if it is ment to be rpg games they should make the monsters harder to kill.. like there should be monsters at lvl 4 and if you meet 1 at lvl 1 he will kick your ass big time

graphics: 9/10
gameplay: 5/10

Well you can choose to beat the game in about 3 hours or so of questing but it isn't easy. On the flipside....Fallout 1 could be beaten in 9 minutes if you know what you're doing. Fallout 2 in about 20 minutes. However.....the journey is where the game is at. I'm almost 40 hours into the game and have only discovered about 60 locations. The game is indeed as epic as you want it to be. You can run into monsters that will eat you in a hearbeat though. Only a select few creatures scale to you in some way. The entire game is not scaled.

Well some place in Europe would be fun.... but really Europe were in ruins many years before the great war, they had their war with the midle east and were pretty much turned in to ruins

Manhattan someone said... could work but as its just city and i would have been hit as hard as washington (i can imagine) it would be very hard to traverse, plus i want some open wasteland to explore

well any place really, in the US that is, the great war were between the usa and china those are the nuked regions

That doesn't mean anything.

If America made some retro futuristic products that were good, I'm sure the whole world would be importing them. I'm sure you're familiar with this old retro look. If the entire world were to have embraced that world -- then I don't see what the problem would be.

Liberty city!


Sorry, had to be done..

Outside of the united sstates is a bad idea, unless hey can work it into the story like (the USA annexing Canada).

A good plotline for the next fallout:

You start off in Enlave and you are a good little unquestioning soldier, convinced Enclave is the savior of humanity. You don't remember much of your past(but you start to remember it as the game progresses). You were captured from a vault that the Enlcave raided for some kind of technology they wanted. You were part of that technology or its a part of you.

Somehow you get to return to the vault you were bron in and find some info and start havng flashbacks of things, and those weird dreams you have been having turn out to be real memories of your past. In the game you can decide to go against the enclave or help the enclave. You get to play parts of your past completely in flashback mode, like the early stages of fallout 3 are setup. So your choices in the past have influence on the current "future".

It is in a alternate reality future, so Chernobyl might not have been 'done', at all Iraq is another issue with the ongoing resources war between Europe and the Middle East ... I am sure Europe is a wasteland but people seem to be resourcefull at all times so i'm sure there are survivors, ghouls, mutants, or other things ... havn't played FO III yet but there seemed to be survivors in England

London area would be great.

It could be somewhat medieval like, but the pre-war culture of London/England could be something liken to the 60's.
The radio could play old 60's British acts too.
