If Obsidian did Cali or the Mojave (FONV sequel?), I would be ok with it.

I'm just worried about the good chance of Beth's horrible fake irish voice actors trying to pull off an irish accent.

Seattle would have offered more storyline possibilities because we pretty much know nothing about what happened to the Emerald City. I'm guessing the main reason why they went to Boston is because there were so many references to it in the previous title.

With that said, if Bethesda does allow/request Obsidian to do another title to maybe be a sequel to New Vegas (which I enjoyed more than FO3 because imo it was more immersive and customizable with the character), then my hopeful ideal situation would be that Bethesda remains on the East Coast/Midwest and Obsidian can do the West Coast/Rocky Mountain Areas of North America.

Just moved from the DC area to the Boston area. Fallout has followed me. I'm happy with Beantown.

(say... since Beth always makes Fallout games where I live, anyone who wants a game set in, say, Hawaii, should send me lots of moving money right now.)

Boston is fine for me. Honestly, anywhere in the US is going to be just fine.

I know that it is not the point of the Fallout games, but I would like to play in the Fallout universe somewhere that is not the former United States. China got bombed, most of Europe had a mini-nuke war before the Big Xplosion, I want to see those! I want to explore these places that, by previous games own admission, is even worse than the remnants of the States. Scarier than a pack of Death Claws, Super Mutants and the Enclave? Hell yes I want to see those!

I don't know enough about this to make an educated statement, but would it even make sense for an Irish accent to exist in Boston short of characters like Collin Moriarty immigrating? I don't know what the early-generation Irish population up there is like, but after 200 years of living in the USA wasteland, I'd imagine that unless they held a huge percentage of the population, they'd be completely indistinguishable by now.

I'm completely down with Boston. That said, I really want to see a fallout game in Chicago. The thought of wiping out the Enclave for good...or completely reviving them sounds awesome. Maybe we'll get a 1-2 punch like last time and Obsidian is secretly working on that game... :)

Maybe they could put in a random encounter where you have some people from Boston fighting some New Yawkers who strayed off course in their adventuring.

TA ALL YOU BOSTONIANS ~ you're gonna love this!!!!

"Mary-mutha-ah-gawd, you gotta be wicked smaht!" But we bet you don't know some things.

Like, what's a three decka? A packie? How about a rotary? Ever banged a U-ey? Worn dungarees or ordered a frappe?

-even a Rhodes scholar would have a tough time deciphering the language Boston calls its own.

"New Englanders have had a long and strong tradition eccentric ways of expressing themselves, especially in Boston," said Boston University Linguistics professor Michael Feldman.

"It's very distinctive." Indeed ~ and we'd have a pissah time tryin' to stump ya, then make fun of ya behind ya back . .. but that's wicked mean.

Instead, here's a little primer to take with you on the T, while you're on the Common or in the Gahden, maybe catchin' a Pats game or sipping a regulah coffee at Dunkies.

  • American Chop Suey ~ Found in school cafeterias, this delightful dish doesn't resemble anything American or Chinese. ~~~~~~~It's macaroni with meat and tomato sauce.
  • Bangin' a U-ey ~~~~ This is what you do while driving after you miss a turn and you have to turn around.
  • Book it ~ To high tail someplace, as in, "I better book it to Stah Mahket before it closes."
  • Bubblah ~ Spelled bubbler, it's a water fountain.
  • Der ~ An interjection indicating disdain for someone else's stupidity, as in, "The old Gahden was way betta than the Fleet! Der!"
  • Down Cellar ~ The basemant. As in; "run down cella and get me a dishtowel outta the drya." Derived from upstairs.
  • Dungarees ~ Jeans. Hardly heard anymore, unless you're at some sort of senior citizens event.
  • Frappe ~ What the rest of the nation calls a milkshake. But in Boston, a milkshake is just flavored milk with ice cream & a lot of it......
  • Fried and Bizaah ~ Weird. "That dude is wicked fried." "Yah, he's totally bizaah."
  • Fudge-icle ~ To the rest of the world, a frozen chocolate pop is a Fudgesicle, but in Boston, the 's' is silent.
  • Hermits and black and whites ~ Cookies. A hermit is a molasses and raisin bar. Black and whites, known anywhere else as half moons or half and halfs, are round, cakelike cookies with chocolate frosting on one half, vanilla on the other.
  • Jimmies ~ Sprinkles you put on ice cream.
  • Packie ~ Liquor Store. You'll have to make a packie run if you want a kegga (keg party.)
  • Pissah ~ Good
  • Rotary ~ traffic circle. And in Massachusetts, those in the rotary have the right of way.
  • Scrod ~ a generic name for white fish. We think it's cod, but no one's sure. Usually breaded and laden with butter.
  • So Don't I / So Aren't I ~ So do I, So am I. "I have tickets to Aerosmith tonight." "Oh my Gawd, so don't I!" "No Suh!" "Yah huh."
  • "Wicked Pissa!" Three Decker ~ Pronounced three decka, it's a three story house in which each story is a separate apartment.
  • A time ~ A party. "We're going to a time for Sully at McGuire's."
  • Tonic ~ Soda. Wicked ~ Extremely. "Nomaaah's a wicked good baseball playa."
  • Yah huh and no suh ~ Yes and no. Usually heard during an intense conversation. "I saw Mickey at Castle Island and he was with another girl." "No SUH!" "Yah huh."

Other tips: Don't say COPEly Square, it's COPley. Worcester isn't WOOster, it's Wisstah. Don't Say Commonwealth Avenue, Massachusetts Avenue or Dorchester Avenue.

It's Comm. Ave, Mass. Ave and Dot. Ave.
