As my title suggest do you think the fallout series should ever end ? As personally I don't really wanna see a fallout 13 or 14 and watch this great series wither away it should go out with a nuclear sized bang and drop all our jaws ,i think fallout 5 or 6 would be a decent number to end it .I mean the final fantasy series is really dieing out and I don't want fallout to die out aswell .

After another installment or two yeah. How would you end it though, if in the position to do so?

Hell, if bethesda horrid writing contiunes then hell yes. Do a co-op job with Obsidion, Bethesda. [censored], they write bettter then you. You make the world and they make the writing.

Good question at a guess A the world getting back to or as close to normal as humanely possible ((no pun intended) or one of the big factions getting there wish ala enclave creating a pur world .
Off the top of my head

Hell, I can envision the ending slides for the last game in the series now.. I could also see it bringing all of the story arks together in some way or another. What do y'all think?

Well,

It's story telling. There is an incredibly deep, rich world here for stories.

I would 're-do' Fallout with the modern engine and build a 3 game story arc.

I think I would brake down and cry in the middle of the slides ,but a proper end to fallout seems appropriate.

In story telling, I like finality after a certain point...otherwise you end-up with overused and recycled thoughts

Kinda my point .But just imagine the world finally recoveringfrom nuclear devastationwith ron perlmens hallowing voice but have they learned there lesson because war ,war never changes.

Fallout. Fallout never ends. Since the dawn of post-apocalyptic role-playing games, when Interplay Entertainment first published the gaming power of retrofuturistic story and artwork, time has been spent in the name of everything, from promises of technology to fear of nuclear annihilation to simple, gamer addiction.



No, Fallout series should never end, it doesn't need to since there are so many possibilities available to expand the story. you could have prequels, sequels, spin-offs, etc etc. As long as it has the Fallout vibe and works.

That would be milking the crap out it and would lead leadto it just dying out like final fantasy ,it needs a
strong ending that ties up everything or maybe endings.

In my opinion, I think it should end at fallout8, with some spin offs in between

If Fallout was a television series then yeah, I'd say it should end. I think its apparent that TV shows that run for a long period eventually just turn to crap. The best series' on TV in recent years have been mini-series IMO. People demand more and don't get it, and the quality of what they want more of is never tarnished by... uh, plastering more over it. lol Rome, Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Deadwood... all good.

There are exceptions though. If you change the premise and characters then you can end up with something like The Wire. It stays fresh because what's important is the different setting/background/political-mojo, and the people and their lives in it. Fallout is like that. You can't really compare any Western game to the Final Fantasy series, because (thankfully) they don't make 'em like that on this side of the world.

Fallout can change the setting and shine a light on the lives and stories of people living in probably hundreds of locations. It'll always feel fresh wherever they take it. Fallout has ended several times across several games already. I wouldn't like to see "the final Fallout!" It could only end well with probably the total annihilation of the world. lol Besides, it's now a flagship brand of Bethesda's, and a frickin' lucrative IP. I seriously doubt - even with a perfect ending for the franchise in their lap - they would end it all in one game.

There'll probs be a final game, but it won't contain a "final game" story. An end, ending. It'll just flop in sales and reception and they'll sack off the brand. Leaving it to some [censored] publisher in a hundred years to pick up the IP and enrage a bunch of Fallout purist retro-gamer nerds when they revamp the franchise as a "Romance Simulator" (or some other hated new genre) on a holodeck.

i guess i will keep on playing until they stop making them. i am not as fussy as a lot of people. as long the game is more interesting than watching paint dry then i will keep on playing.

Hey whats up with a romance simulator? grand theft anol out now ! ,i personally can't see a flop killing off fallout tbh.

I personally hope that it wouldn't. Fallout brings back so many fantastic memories and if it were to end I would be so depressed. Plus there really are no other games like it out there. I think that Fallout has the potential to not die out unlike FF because it is just so detailed. Fallout has so much history in terms of lore and is so crazily detailed in its story telling that I believe could make it last for a very long time. And we haven't even been to the commonwealth or New York City yet, it would be a shame for Fallout to end after only two more games since there is still so much unexplained despite the detailed story-telling and there is still the rest of America to go to. This post is a bit muddled and I hope you can understand what I am saying .

Heh ha. Grand Theft anol? lol Nah, there's nowt wrong with romance simulators. I've played a few. BioWare is doing well with them. Pfftahah!

On the flop thing you never know. Fallout was resurrected once before remember. So it essentially died at one point already. All it takes is some screwy game designer producing crud, and a publisher going about its business the wrong way, and... *croak* But yeah, I can't see it either. New locations, new enemies, new stories, new engines... and breaking up the numbered titles in an inspired way by having things like New Vegas in between... should be going for a long, long time. It's Bethesda's to mess up anyway. I hope they don't.

With a bang

I think the 'nuclear wasteland' theme is gonna be hard to sustain believably - civilization should be getting back on its feet now, and the NCR is apparently doing its Manifest Destiny thing as of FNV. The series should only continue if it continues to evolve - show us the various growing civilizations, and the way they interact as they bump up against one another. If they're still doing the nuclear wasteland schtick in 2350 I'd rather they not do it at all. It would be even lamer if they go the tabula rasa route and have a second round of nuclear bombings that sets everything back to day zero.

I believe, as the quote goes, 'All good things must come to an end.' I hope for Fallout to end on the upnote that Humanity is and will make it's slow but sure revival, learning from the mistakes of the generation that destroyed the world's progress for centuries.

But that wouldn't be in the true spirit of Fallout now would it? As much as I would like to see that happen if Fallout had to end I doubt very much that it would. As is the pattern with the new Fallout games even though you have done these amazing things it never seems to have an impact on the wider scale of things. You'd think that news of a giant water purifier purifying the waters of a whole river would be BIG news and would travel fast, yet, you never hear about it in New Vegas. I doubt that the Battle at Hoover Dam will be much different either. You are very proud of yourself for doing such a fantastic thing only to find out that no-one even knows about it in the next. Just a thought.

Well it's only been four years (?) between FO3 and FNV. If it takes years for news to travel even along the Silk Road, where much trade flowed through, it's not inconceivable that news of the purifier simply hasn't arrived yet - I don't imagine New Vegas conducts much trade with the Capital Wasteland (on the other side of the continent), and vice versa.

the fallout series ending ? ROFL bethesda didn't buy the franchise to make just one fallout game according to pete hines, as a matter of fact he said in an interview that they fully intend on bringing fallout to the forefront of rpgs in a major way...bethesda develops and works on their franchises, they made 5 Elders Scrolls games so far and 1 fallout game so far...so if you want it to end, just don't play FO4... but post apocalyptic games are not dying out by a longshot, its actually a very popular theme and for good reason, several games/franchises have that theme and have done quite well, but here's a link with comments from both todd howard and pete hines on the fallout franchise. enjoy http://www.ligagame.com/forum/index.php?topic=28489.65;wap2

This ^

But I would go one further. Obsidian does everything. Bethesda just publishes it

Fallout can never end.
Because War, War never changes.
