Hello!

I love the Fallout series, and have played both Fallout 3 and New Vegas throug several times, using hundreds of hours.

One thing I have found amusing is listening to the different radio stations while doing quests. It can get mighty fun fighting for your life against, say, ghouls, while Danny Kaye and the Andrew Sisters are singing "Civilisation". The light heartedness of the song is the total opposite of the "ghoulish" task at hand.

I feel Fallout 3 was stronger in this aspect than New Vegas, though adding "Blue Moon" to this list was a great choice.

I really hope the development team will add some great music to "Fallout 4", as this really adds to the feel of the game. I really want to come with a suggestion of a song that could be used in a future game (apart from using "Civilisation" again, of course!):

This song is "Where the Boys are" by Connie Francis. The reasons for this are the following; it is a type of song fitting the feel of the game (the song is from 1961, but it it is a 50s kind of song thereby adding to the "Fallout feel"). The second reason is that this song is used in the movie "Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie". This classic movie is in a way related to the Fallout universe with the 50s feel, the movie even ends wit a "warning" regarding China aquiring nuclear weapons, and a nuclear war with China is central to the Fallout story.

The song can be heard here:

Here is the mentioned part from "Trinity and Beyond", the song starts at 5:30 and the "China warning" follows right after:

I know this thread belongs in the enormously long "Wishes for a future Fallout" thread. But I this is so important to me that I registered just for this. By putting it out like this, there is a better chance of this wish being forwarded to the person choosing the songs of a future Fallout game. Feel free to move the thread!


Best wishes!

I hope for future DLCs that they include 3-4 songs per DLC. For Fallout 3, that would have been 15-20 songs when Zeta came out, and for NV that would be 12-16 songs by the time Lonesome Road comes out. Instead of listening to Johnny Guitar 16 times an hour, maybe I'd only hear it 9 times an hour.

I really liked "Stars of the Midnight Range" or whatever it is called. It reminds me of the Lucky 38. Hell, I think Obsidian was referencing it, since *most* songs have a purpose and weren't randomly placed.
