it could be "falout 4, china" and you are an american srike team who has to explre, just after the nukes have gone off, but that ouldnt be an RPG, it would be more like a tom clancy recon game.

How disappointing, since most polls offer an apathetic response.

New York, as long as it's still mostly ruins, has the empire state building you can climb up and throw bottle caps off, and has tribals living in tower blocks fighting eachother from the windows.

Texas, if it has one of those country and western singer museum ranches filled with ghouls in huge wigs and rhinestone suits.

I wouldnt mind seeing London either, if some of the landmarks are still up. Not that London would survive, as it would probably take a direct hit from a nuke, and most of it would flood without anyone manning the barriers. Maybe have the Thames crater as a huge lake across the south side.

I agree, I have extended experience with polls and I can safely say that this poll is below average.

How awesome would it be to see Manhattan finally given back to the natives .

I'd like to see the Upper Midwest. Nobody does anything in the Upper Midwest. And it would be a good Fallout setting... small towns surrounded by burned out forests fields. With a few larger cities in the mix. Minneapolis / St. Paul is a pretty big city, and it does have an underground tunnel system. The metro area has a pop of +3 million. Hell, there's man-made caves dug into the bluffs in St. Paul. We could see how the Native Americans would have handled the apocalypse on the reservations. The Mississippi River and the Great Lakes could have abandoned barges and cargo ships. Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan are on the border to Canada, so there would probably be staging points near the border for the incursions into Canada.

I remember being on the U-Minn campus and seeing an old map in a display case showing the various effect radii of a nuclear strike on the city. It would have been pretty bad. Honestly, DC is much less destroyed than what it would be in reality. But then, reality really doesn't make a good game.

I'd like the sequel to be here in Portugal.

Of course, since no one would bother wasting a bomb here, it would mostly consist of sleeping, eating, going to work, going shopping, getting laid, and then dying slowly of cancer because of imported radioactive products.

the first that here is that you're an idiot. D.C. is our nations capitol, and you call it boring?

I personally think that it WOULD be cool if they moved to another country, like China! That would be awesome!

Anywhere with abandonment or snow would really do it for me! Russia would be great in an Arctic style nuclear winter!

Well, the real point of this topic, yet again, was to complain about another feature in the game. But, it evolved into something else. And you shouldn't call folks you disagree with idiots.

Ahahahahahaha!!! :lmao: I am not even going to report your flame post... made my day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNbIY5rDHmI&feature=related

either alaska or new york state, but mainly to get canada in. so much opportunity for humor in an annexed canada.

texas would be awesome, but must include a new monster: the chupacabra!

denver was in tactics, right? too bad, it would have been good.

i agree, not from any kind of chauvanism, but just from the cultural aspect of 50s-era optimism, SCIENCE!, etc., it's got to be in the u.s. though china would be cool. alaska was held for a while by the chinese, right? maybe their culture could have started taking root a little and we could get a good view of the war through their eyes.

I'd like to see it set in New York City.

Sacrilege!

Seriously, most of the RPGs out there are non-sandbox, why take away one of the few? Besides, sandbox games are more or less a Bethesda specialty.

You can always try The Witcher.

Or Mass Effect, which is kinda sandbox and kinda not at the same time.

Being from Texas, I agree. The Houston/Galveston area would be an awesome setting (there's open land in one direction, heavy woods to the northeast, coastal areas, and a big city). Dallas/Ft. Worth could be an interesting location too.

DC was a great choice. We got urban and subterranean warfare. We got a dense map with a lot of points of interest. California and the Southwest were great settings, but the empty desert would get REALLY old in a game world as detailed as FALLOUT 3.

I think great options for expansions would be Philadelphia, Atlantic City, the military installations near Virginia Beach, the bunkers and mining towns of West Virginia, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge (set it up as a long city), and other nearby areas.

For future games, a place like Texas could be interesting, though the risk is that a truly desolate landscape would get tedious. The Dakotas are another option - you have NORAD, ghost towns, the Black Hills, and a few small cities. New Orleans could offer a lot, too - a big radioactive swampy hellhole.

I'm from Texas as well. Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Live in Montana now, but it is a great setting. I would love to see what Deep Ellum (Clubbing district in dallas) would look like after a Nuclear blast hehe. Overall I think Texas is a perfect fitting for the next Fallout game for all the reasons you listed.

don't forget the chupacabra!

If Bethesda does FO4, they should take a page from their own greatest game, Daggerfall. Make the game cover at least the North American continent, and maybe South America as well, don't focus so heavily on graphics and voice acting, instead focus on content and storyline.

Personally, I prefer text based dialogue without hammy voice acting, or developers spending their budget on hiring hollywood actors to voice a few lines. In Oblivion for example, I felt that having Sean Bean and Patrick Stewart voice a couple of minor NPCs whom you only interact with a few times at most to not really add anything to the game.

However, I still remember fondly Crassius Curio's lines from Morrowind, and some of the ribald stuff from the Sentinel court in Daggerfall.

So, hint to Bethesda, make FO4 much larger, revert to focusing on story, scale down the graphics a bit so peoples' video cards aren't melting, and no more voice acting PLEASE (except for maybe the central plot cutscenes only), so that you can hire some decent writers.

I am surprised no one mentioned Las Vegas yet... :dmc: :run:

I disagree. I have bought a gtx 260 simply to enjoy this game with its full graphics on ultra high and full AA and AF and its a sight to behold, breathtaking in fact in many places. Games without voice acting (stalker comes to mind) irratate me as well. I want the full blown visual and audio experience.

Do the above improvements to the storyline etc but keep the gfx and audio as per fallout.

Technology is moving on at a fast pace I can't see any sensible reason not to make use of it!

FO3 what a fantastic game!

:twirl: Alaska is awesome. But...it's already a wasteland in many respects. Anchorage is the only place with buildings to destroy. Other than Anchorage there is not much for ruins. A cabin here and there is all. Heck, I was driving to town (Fairbanks) the other day and all of a sudden realized I had been driving almost two hours and hadn't seen but two cars the whole way in. No people either. I thought of the Fallout 3 wastes and decided that we were already a wasteland.

Hmm, I think Canada/Alaska could be very cool since this is where the Chinese invaded from. I'm sure there would be pockets of Chinese "enclave" still around, maybe fighting the fight against the US "enclave". Otherwise, the only other location I can think of is NY city/Boston/Philly. That could be quite enjoyable as well, to see what happened to Manhattan, the statue of liberty, Faneuil Hall, etc.

As long as it stays in the us (european btw, but us is the only that would work) i am happy...

Hi for everyone.

I think Leonick is right. It wouldn't be the same if it would be put elsewhere than the US. (Though I would like to see my hometown, Budapest ruined sometimes , but in non english speaking countries, the game wouldn't be the same, that 'real'. Also the whole conception is built on 1950-s look like future of the States.)

just my 2 bottlecaps
