Personally I wouldn't mind seeing next game to take place in new York tell me your thoughts

Well, there is only one or two facts known about New York in the Fallout-verse. Chances are that the place was completely obliterated because of its symbolic character. Anyway, i wouldn't put my money on it because of RL circumstances. People still react very emotional to depictions of Ground Zero and there's no Fallout equivalent to what happened in RL. Meaning that the Towers could have been intact until the Great War. It's a delicate matter.

Personally, i would like to see the Commonwealth or maybe even Canada. Mostly because i want to see something new. But also because, in the case of Canada, we could see what happened after the annexation. Also, this could lead to some poetical justice in the end.

As I see it, there are really only two viable, intriguing options, as sadly Meikun sadly pointed out, New York wouldn't be available. These are Chicago and Florida.

While Canada would be incredibly awesome, being much different from the arid wasteland of the Mojave (one hopes), I don't think it'll happen. The 'Nuclear Winter' angle could be pulled off, expanding the Jacobstown-setting, and possibly incorporating the open plains of southern Canada. Mythological creatures such as Sasquatch could have mutated into existence, and great, mutated bison may have made a resergence, being hunted by Tribals like the Native Americans did. Unfortunately, Fallout is the story of Post Apocalyptic America, and I don't see Canada happening (despite the annexation) in anything other than a DLC for a northern region. This leads me to my first viable suggestion:

Chicago. Chicago is considered (as far as we know) to be the last Enclave base in the United States, mentioned during E-DE, My Love. Chicago is a great city, like New York, and would offer up the urban jungle feeling and the building/tunnel exploring, that many people loved from Fallout 3, through its subways and sky-scraqers. Furthermore, being west of the Legion and just north of the Atomic Tornado Belt, it could open up the option of familiar, faux-Roman faces as well as new factions. Finally, being up north, it could still pull the nuclear winter angle and allow DLCs across Lake Michigan, to Canada. I like Chicago because it offers something different from the open (some would say boring) wasteland of the Mojave.

My next suggestion is Florida, already mentioned in the Fallout series, and also vastly different from the Mojave. Florida would likely resemble Point Lookout, though with more tropical plants in the Miami area, and a deeper swamp in the Everglades. It's been mentioned that mutant Alligator-Men roam Florida, which makes one think the Everglades have begun to reclaim the land following nuclear disaster, offering a jungle-trek feel to players. Centered around south Florida, players could explore the ruins of Miami (offering more urban exploration and gangs like Vegas), the tribals in the swamps, and the many beasts of the Everglades. Viable DLCs could include St. Augustine with its Spanish Armory and Museum or Disney World... which would be pretty funny.

Somewhere in the midwest would be a nice change. Chicago, Omaha, or something. There's missile silos all over the place, and Omaha would be a great place to have an irradiated hellpit with untouched knowledge and tech at it's center via Offut AFB and Stratcom. Could being the midwest Brotherhood and scattered Enclave remnants involved quite easily. There'd be no lack of sprawling storylines and development if the writer has even an ounce of creativity.

Antarctica: no humans, no deathclaws, ghouls only, final destination.

It will be in the US, can you imagine the howls of protest from fans of the previous games if it wasn't?

It will be somewhere iconic with internationally recognisable landmarks or obvious parodies of them, like F3's Washington or F:NV faux Las Vegas.

It will look different from either of the most recent games.

So I'm going to say somewhere in the south, say Florida with Disney and the Everglades but more likely New Orleans.

The only thing going against this is that we'd expect some dense steamy swamps but because consoles are relatively low powered graphically, open world games have to be set in fairly barren landscapes. That's why the Strip and casinos a so under populated.

Back in the Capital Wasteland, of course. We barely scratched the surface in FO3!

Russia. The USSR could have never fallen in Fallout possibly.

Even though this thread will get locked I ll throw my 2 cents worth in before it does.

Like 10 years ago a game was released called Fallout Tactics. It had 6 endings. Bethesda says high level events in this game are canon.

Problem is the highest level event ( the canon ending ) has never materialized. IMO Bethesda must take us to middle America and follow up on the mid west Brotherhood of Steel. That game has waited long enough for a real ending.

Old stories need to end or be continued before new bloody chapters of human history can start IMO.

Chicago makes the most sense (mainly because of the ed-e logs). great urban setting, iconic, hubs of business and tech, water, suburbs, subways, prairie, all within distance of the city proper. plus the north shore is extremely wealthy, and this is something i am waiting for in fallout: a wealthy residential area that made it through the great war. i want a mansion for a safe house. chicago is loaded with story lines, history, cultural landmarks, all encased in a perfect environment.

i do like the above suggestion about florida, some good ideas there.

Already have a thread of this in the Fallout series discussion...

In all seriousness, I really just want to see Florida in order to watch a Deathclaw and a Mutant Crocodile-Man duke it out.

The Solitary Meanderer watches from the top of a royal palm, his makeshift sniper's nest (accessible via a rope-ladder) a safe haven from the deadly behemoths that roam the swamps. Other than the generally deadly fauna that inhabit this corner of the Reclaimed Everglades, Deathclaws, the over-grown, mutated war-chameleons, hunt amongst the Reeds. Suddenly, he hears the heavy breathing and the thudding foot steps of one of the legendary beasts. The tall gress spreads, the horned, bipedal reptilian cutting through the foilage like a knife through warm butter.

It's lucky the Solitary Meanderer remembered to smear himself with the mud of the swamp, disguising his scent from the deadly beast. As the Deathclaw approaches a pool of still water, the shore on the opposite side is disturbed by slight movement. Suddenly, water explodes into the air, crocodilian jaws clamped upon the leg of the Deathclaw. With a screech, the horned beast is dragged into the water by the mutated alligator. The water is a roiling like the surf in the tidal beds of Old Miami. Finally, the Deathclaw rises, triumphant, its claws biting deep into the flesh of the crocodilian as it rises from the water.

There's something... off about the dimensions, though. Powerful musculature visible on the gator, along with scraps of cloth. As the Deathclaw reels back to deliver the killing blow to the slackened beast, the Alligator's eyes open, displaying feral intelligence, and one of its own arms shoots up, arresting the attacking hand. The titanic reptilians begin to grapple in the shallows, the Mutant Crocodile revealed to be one of the great, bipedal lords of the Swamp. The pair of scaley giants collapse back into the waves, jaws locked around each other's necks, and the dark water turns a shade darker with a bloom of blood.

Or, in the game: The Deathclaw and the Mutant Crocodile whack at each other with wild swings until one dies, bouncing off each other's swipes like pinballs in the machine.

Germany nothing like a ghoul Adolf Hitler.

The place where I think the next game will be and the place I actually want it to be are two very different things.

I think the next game (or one of the next games) will take place in Arizona or New Mexico. They've made mention of the Grand Canyon a number of times and Arizona is diverse enough to offer enough to a player. North Arizona is forests and snow while south is desert. A lot of mountains. They wouldn't have to change too much about the overall landscape could add a few new creatures (want snakes and birds of some sort) and it could be the ending chapter for the Legion as they now have two major losses at hoover dam.

Maybe the main player will be born into a family of a member of Legion and has a lot of choices (take it over, destroy it, escape it, free the people from it, etc...). I think it would be interesting for a character to get put in the role of an organization with a bad rep. If only to see whether or not what it does is actually as bad as people say (which probably is true).

I also think Chicago might be likely for the next game if only because of the comment from ED-E about an enclave base being located there...or possibly once was located there and has now been destroyed or taken over. All the hints point to either Chicago or Arizona being the next place of the next game. What I would like to see though is quite different from what I think will actually be next.

What I want to see:

North Dakota/South Dakota/Commonwealth: We know virtually nothing about this area (to my knowledge) and so it lies in mystery. North Dakota would be my pick simply because it is on the border of the commonwealth and DLC content could be easily made for it. It is an area unlike the others seen so far as it was originally forest and cold. Snow people. It also has a number of major places that could be used for it.

Florida: Gators and former swamp land with possibly some of it being water logged throughout. Would be interesting to see and again it is a different area of the country not yet explored.

Washington/Oregon: Yet again another opposite location not yet explored but could possibly be home to Seattle Settlements, or Salem magic users (not real just advanced tech users or something). I don't know.


I'd be happy with any of these as Washington D.C., California, and Nevada are probably out for the next games. Who knows though.

I'd like a much better look into Caesar's land. Either in the next game. Or through NV DLC.

I think there's simply too much to be adequately covered in a DLC though... So I'm hoping for a complete game.

I think the next Fallout game http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1183795-official-future-fallout-locations-suggestion-topic-6/.

-Gunny out. (hehe. I beat Gabe to it.)

How is a thread gonna support a full fallout game :tongue: .

Chicago would be awesome and a logical choice. Also, the Commonwealth where the Institute is located......The goal here is for the Lone Wanderer to search the vast area for Dr. Li. Why? To tell her off for leaving while he was in a coma and not saying goodbye.

Please use the above linked thread for this discussion. Thanks.
