I think the biggest mistake Bethesda made with Fallout 3 is moving it to the east coast, especially to DC, which I find is a very boring city and so not fallouty. I believe that Fallout's soul rests on the west coasts and no where else that same feeling, lore and atmosphere can be achieved. If Bethesda wanted to get away from original area of Fallout i think Seattle, WA would be the best choice. So yeah, i want Fallout 4 to take place in Seattle area. What do you think? Where would you want it?

I'd actually be interested to see Alaska. Main stage of the Great War before the bombs anyone?

Maybe if you go to the governor's mansion you can look through a telescope and see a tattered Russian flag waving in the wind.

I would like Fallout 4 to be some place more northern like Canada or maybe even the UK. It would be nice to see snow and how radiation affected snowy climates.

I think youre from seattle. -.-.

I am from New Jersey. :icecream:

I would like to see Fallout in Texas. Massive areas to explore. Very much a wasteland to begin with. Some very cool sites to see in the cities. When I say Texas I mean the entire state should be included into the next game. I think Bethesda has it in them to do it! Would be an awesome post apocalyptic western feel to it.

I'd like to see Fallout 4 be in the US and in annexed Canada. I've been dying to see what annexed Canada would look like after 2077.

Fallout 4 need to be the biggest most huge game bethisda has ever created. 3x the size of this current one and it should come with expansion packs for differnt countrys.

Yeah and TES should encompass all of Tamriel. Dream on. Neither one of them are developmentally feasible.

Really? Think back to oh about 1995 and most would think the same about a game like Fallout 3 today. Someone from 95' sees Fallout 3 back then they would have sworn it was made with a supercomputer from space in a hyperbolic time chamber or something hehe.

It has nothing to do with computing power, it's man power.

Texas, enough said!

Big land with lots of guns.

Are there a lack of video game developers all of a sudden? I think it is doable, it's just a matter of who actually would want to do it.

I'd rather not see Bethesda's take on the classic Fallout 1 or 2 locations. There's no way they could do those locations without annoying a lot of Fallout fans. In fact, I'd be willing to say that not even Black Isle or Interplay can revisit the old locations without alienating some people.

I'd also enjoy encountering new wonders of the Fallout world, so it's easily the 3rd option for me.

want to see the whole country rendered, tbh. with faster travel it wouldnt be too bad. issue would be those damned quests that send you from like lost hills to dc. wtf. naw they could do a fast travel system like taking a zep or something. or even better, your own hypersonic vertibird.

Just out of curiosity, why is Seattle less boring than DC?

You think D.C is boring? Its original, full of history and there's tons of things to do. Seattle after being nuked, and its constant rainy climate would be a swamp. How interesting.

Maybe Philadelphia. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see them move back to the west for a good change, but they've really done most of the interesting cities in the west.

New York State/New York City/Southern Canada.

It would be a big game lol.

Well...already see things from US point of view, why not have a new Fallout set in China? They got counter nuked right? Bejing anyone?

This is what I was thinking too.
But china also sounds cool. The great wall would be fun to fight on.

Hmmmmmmmm

the ruins of Hong Kong

with its elaborate subway system

It took Bethesda's team four years to go from concept art to a TWEAKED Oblivion engine to the finished Fallout 3 which is still full of bugs. You do realize that not only would a game the size of Texas TAKE ten times as long (unless of course you want randomly generated content a la Daggerfall) to make, but it would also have TEN times the bugs? Not to mention the fact that the engine probably can't even support a map that size. Or how many new textures and meshes would be needed, unless you plan on everything in the state looking the same. Or the NPCs and their extra voice files. Or just the size of the .ESM file that holds all that data.

Me personally, I don't really want to wait 40 years for Bethesda to make a game that would take up 50GB of hard drive space and install with a dozen DVDs.

I would like West Coast to keep its fallout ways. Dont want to see it turned into what bethesda made east coast.

To me, Fallout 3 is "a (supposedly) post-apocalyptic (but in fact a fantasy) (oh and action) Role-playing game".

Still fun, but please keep the west coast as it is!

I would say NYC but an area like that would take so freaking long to make if it were done right and would be crap if it wasn't...

I'm personally hoping for Anchorage.

I wouldn't mind to see the next Fallout take place outside the US, like Russia or China. But Alaska could also be very interesting.
