Love to see Fallout setting in Beijing, China but i wouldn't mind the wild west Texas.

I'd go for Hawaiʻi.

If only because the geography makes it feasible to simply take the real-world maps and use them in the game without any artificial barriers ...

I wouldn't mind European parts myself, particularly my country (being Turkey), not becouse it's mine, but becouse it has an interesting story. It sees war, nuclear devastation and desolace according to Fallout Bible. It's like a half-Wasteland. Plus, it has a completely different architecture and vegetation.. Oh well, I already have my Fallout scenario, I'll let bethesda do something else, then buy the rights off them and make my game! Mwhahahahah! Ahem. Uhm.

Texas and Alaska do sound fun

Nah DC was the perfect excuse for the world still being the mess we see. Its an area that would still be that much of a mess 200 years later. The next one would have be shortly after, because to much time later and it wont be post apocolyptic anymore. Id like to go back in time about 150 years and have it take place in another part of the world. Japan with Mutants ariving and invading on boats could be fun.

I have no problem with the west coast but theres plenty of other intresting places. Like texas for example.

Although not American, I liked seeing a different city. Was nice sightseeing for me:p

The size of the world really doesnt impact the amount of disk space much at all. All that sort of gamedata is just numbers which takes up almost no room at all. Its the textures, animation and audio files which take up the most considerable amount of space. Ever play GTA san andreas? Huge, huge gameworld. It takes a pretty long time to drive from one end of it to another, and thats on freeways going waaaay over the speedlimit. And theres tons of space in it I'm sure i've never stepped foot on. So yeah, texas should be totally do-able. I just dont know if bethesda has what it takes to compete with rockstar in that regard.

they need to stop doing the sandbox thing.

more focused areas, different types of towns, like the fist games.

It just worked in the first games, and made random encounters, special encounters ect as well as the outdoorsman skill viable and oh hey did i mention it felt like an actual WASTELAND?!

Keep it FPS if you have to i dont care, the sandbox thing is tired IMO, i dont want to play a hiking simulator, at least without a car. and im not riding a radscorpion.

One of the reasons I chose it because it's the only major city on the west coast that was not touched by Fallout 1 and 2. Why do I think DC does not fit... well urban areas of original fallout look a lot more gothic and sci-fish... Like watch this Fallout 1 intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkBNKa2KXZE... See those dark stone skyscraqers the kind you will find in New York, Chicago (Tactics... watch this intro... it's one of the few things tactics done right, it's beautiful and really shows fallout atmosphere http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kxq3Rmq1ho) or... Seattle!!! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Spanoramic.jpg I mean look at it... just look at it... You don't even have to change much it's already all sci-fi. And this huge mountain on the background. And the wastes in between. Take this whole area. Put some mega vault "-1" inside this mountain... or some great evil (or not) organization or whatever else. Beautiful setting IMO.

DC on the other hand is all bright and white, official and historical... which is not really Fallout. IMO

i thought d.c was west coast
well shows what i know

Zoom out...

You probably confused Washington state which is indeed on the west coast (and that is where Seattle is) with Washington DC which is a city in Maryland state.

wherever it takes place.. i WANT hot damn fallout 4 ^^.. but seatlle would be nice, i think

Yes please, west or mid/southwest. Or oregon. I'd love to see Portland nuked -- then (at least in Bethesda's world) it would never rain there again. Do you think they'd be happier about the lack of rain, or angrier or about being, y'know, nuked?

Africa FTW !

To be honest I don't care as long as it's a good game.

I would love to see Europe, also Africa sounds interesting...

I dint feel like waiting 12 years to play Fallout4.

I voted 'outside the US' mostly because the whole country bores me to tears and there is so much untouched gold nuggets elsewhere in the world that would be completely awesome to see in this type of game. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. doesn't count, because most of that was just a big open field with little to no special architecture or depth taken advantage of.

I'd love to see:

I would add I am not from any of these places. The reasons I want to see places like this in Fallout, is:

What would you feel like if you could explore the repercussions of nuclear war in the very cradle of western civilization, Athens? How would Venice, the "floating city" fare, in it' already fragile state - would it become the next Atlantis? Stuff like this make great games. A depth far greater than standards allow exist in these places. In my opinion, scenery, culture, history and people are crucial for creating a special atmosphere. What would Bioshock be if it played out in Dallas, US?

The USA has very few places that have all these 4, but some have certain ones:

-Houston: History, People

-Wash. DC: Scenery, History

-Seattle: Scenery

-Boston: Culture, History

-Miami, L.A. : uhm?

The two places that seem appropriate for Fallout which haven't been covered is in my opinion Denver and Anchorage. Denver seems very Fallouty already (sorry if I offend anyone) and has lots of strange history and even some culture and lots of different types of people. Anchorage would be a breath of fresh air because Alaska is so far off from the centre of the plot, yet so important to it.

As with Venice, Amsterdam sounds cool too and is a bit more solid and it has dungeons

The problem with placing the game out of the U.S. is that the whole premise is based on the idea of American hubris and cold-war paranoia. You just can't have Science! in Africa or Europe -- they're too smart for that. I think the only tenuously plausible option for a place outside the U.S. would be somewhere in Russia, probably in/near Moscow.

ST. Petersburg would be interesting.

That's what I wanted to say... Though it's sounds interesting to see other countries, but Fallout without fallout's lore is hardly a Fallout anymore... just another post apocalyptic story... However it could be a part of the game... like you could fix a tanker or something and sail out somewhere to do some quests... Pretty much what happened in the end of Fallout 2 only you would go to the actual land this time.

How about an option for, " I really don't care?"

There is... and you vote it by not posting in this thread. oo:

There is one. Some call it "Find Another Topic." (wanderer, you beat me to it)

I have no specific preference, just some place different from the previous games.

What about the massive tornadoes that seem to plague Texas and the Midwest? That would be neat to be cruising through San Antonio and have to take shelter quickly because a tornado is about to whip you to Oz.
