Where and when should Fallout 4 take place?

Post » Sat Jun 05, 2010 5:10 pm

I wouldn't mind seeing Caesar's Legion from Van Buren.



Atleast there should be some dude half-naked with a spear running, 'I am Alexander the Great', running in the Wastelands.

I don't, NYC has been overdone in post-apoc media.
No, Manhattan has been overdone.

how about somewhere in the midwest, where no fallout has taken place before? Like maybe around the Michigain area.

Actually, I believe the deserts of Arizona, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada might work. Area 51/ Project Manhattan Test Site anyone?

Van Buren (the canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle) was to take place in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado. Fallout 2 takes place partly in Nevada.

yeah, as Spin-off a game set in post apoc china could be awesome. But only if they try to do some good research about chinas society around the 50s and what "their" vision of the future was.

I myself would like a place where the trees still exist but the radiation has still affected the area (like North Carolina or something). Add a little bit of different weather instead of dust storms. I want nuclear rain that gives me radiation for being in it. Maybe some snow or windy weather. I also would like a map where it is more Focusing on the fight between the enclave and the BOS.

Haha! Yeah right! There are hardly any iconic locations. Houston = ruined mini malls spread out over vast distances.
San Antonio = dried up river walk and the Alamo
Corpus Christi = the statue of Selina and her big ole but.

It might be kind of interesting but the game would definately need a vehicle.. kind of like the real thing huh?
A truly patriotic notion but the boredom of driving gets to me enough round these parts without putting it in a game. :)


There a Post-Apoloyic game that takes place in Texas, but you have to torrent to get it. Its called "The Fall:Last Days of Gaia".

I agree that Fallout 4 should continue exploring DC and surrounding areas. I recommend Maryland Because you have a lot of places to choose from. For Instances,

Cities, and Historic locations

1. Baltimore , the largest city in maryland)
2. Annapolis , the capital of Maryland)
3. University of Maryland
4. Anthem Battlefield , A Civil War battlefield
5. North Point , A War of 1812 Battlefield
6. Fort McHenry

Geographic locations

1. Chesapeake Bay
2. Appalachian Mountains in western Maryland,
3. Farmland in Eastern Maryland.
4. North Point (War 1812 Battlefield)
5. A lot of Resort areas on the Eastern Shores

I was thinking China.


BUT I want Mexico or Spain.


Tacos and Chilaquiles that restore fifty HP FTW!!!!!!

Imagine how sweet it would be if you could have a plot in Mexico where you can either aid the American funded *remnant* government in restoring order or lead an all out communist revolution. *Che Guevara*

Hmmmmm....................

I agree with Pre-Nuke.

You go to a diner or something to meet up with your girlfreind to propose to her, and the war starts. You make it to a fallout shelter, and put on a special respirator and suit so you can breathe and walk around in the post apoc land. Your girlfreind is killed by people looting and rioting when you first emerge, shot in the head while you watch from an overpass. The crowd begins to turn to you and run, and the rest of the game is spent trying to get to the coast and evac, while all hell breaks loose. The suit is the central mechanic in the game, you can trick it out with junk and modular weapons, specializing in stealth, destruction, or long range. Finding clean air is always a problem.

If canada we're included I'd like to see the maratime provinces (Nova Scotia P.E.I and New Brunswick) Halifax would be cool to see because it's our main port for the eastern coast, P.E.I would probably not be hit by nukes head on. But the rads would get to it. It'd probably be some kind of oasis. And New Brunswick would also be cool and also good for some more land mass.

How about if you are a guy who is trying to help his family escape from the bombs in 2077 and due to the choices you make your family can die or live or be turned into ghouls etc.. and decades later you could try and form communities and find survivors

Make russia as it would be quite cool to have nuclear winter and FSB(dont know if i wrote right letter). Kremlin as beutifull landmark. As a change to Bos It would have Warriors of red army(WoRA).
So you can make some real cool game but i would prefer it to be a spin-off.
While f4 would better take place in NYC or commonwealth. after fallout 3 because before it would look like f1 remake.

In the Fallout world, the Soviet Union didn't collapse. So it would still be KGB.

I'd love to see a Fallout game set in the Southwest. Imagine traveling down a highway, flanked on all sides by desert, when from the distance comes a pack of wild, screaming raiders, galloping aboard mutated horseback in fashion reminiscent of the Injuns of old.

Van Buren, the original, canceled Fallout 3 by Black Isle Studios, was set in the Southwest.

Maybe something like Fallout 2 or starting from Bos or something similar

Since Fallout, relies very much on the Cold War to set up the story, why not have Fallout 4 take place in East Berlin, in the DDR. After all, wouldn't it be great to be able to see the post apocalyptic ruins of the "Wall" and "Checkpoint Charlie".

That, or perhaps we could even see the post-apocalypse ruins of the Soviet Union.
