Given the very small, detailed nature of Bethesda's games, we can assume the next Fallout will also take place in a limited geographical area. One of the reasons Fallout 3 works is because of the iconic nature of many locations in and around DC. The question is whether there is another location that could provide the same sense of amazement. Perhaps NYC, but even that city has fewer iconic locations.
I also wonder about when the story should take place. Each of the RPG's has taken place after the previous, but the downside is that the world has to slowly improve over time and then you lose the fun of the setting. So maybe the next game should happen closer to the time of when the nukes fell.
Anyone else have any thoughts?
This is what i want from Fallout4.
1. No LVL cap like in World of Warcraft.
2. Drivable vehicles like hover crafts and amored vehicles and motor bikes and helicopters etc.
3. NO RESPAWNS but reinforcements are acceptable.
4. A Brahmin pack mule that can carry up to 10x more than you can.
5. Fast travel in doors.
6. Can have anyone as your companion including NPC's if you ask the right questions and have the right bribe like caps or for a special item you need to find.
7. A map that is at least 4x bigger than the Fallout3 map.
8. Make it harder to earn action points but if you make a critical hit you get extra action points.
9. Dual wield for some weapons and have alternate fire capabilities and have different ammo types for some weapons.
10. Some new weapons and some new baddies on top of the old ones with some new NPC's and have some quests with large battles in them where the enemy comes in waves. Also make everything more destructible like buildings etc.
