step 1: play fallout 1 and 2
step 2: re read your comment
thank me later

house was capitalism gone crazy.

Would be great for FO4 to take place in, well, I guess midwestern USA on the border with Canada (mutated moose anyone?) Since Canada was annexed before the great war, it is technically part of the USA

Yea I guess your right, I just don’t wanna see a game where your deeply enclosed in a cityscape you know? I
really think the whole Detroit, Michigan, Chicago thing would be really
cool. Sort of like a WW1 throw back (you know, western front, eastern
front sort of thing going on). If the Legion was going agianst the NCR
on the west (who is subsequently going against the “original” BOS) and
at the same the midwest BOS started intruding on the eastern side of
Ceasers turf towards the east there would be a really compelling story
to develop (Maybe the 2 sides of the BOS reunite). What I really think
would shake things up would be a new (really compelling) faction to
break the status quo. We got the BOS (the technology masters), we got
the NCR (yay democracy!) and we got ceasers legion (totalitarian
bastards) As well as the Enclave (lets combine old world values with genocide). What we need is another group to spark things up. Let them fit a steriotype while at the same time shift things up. Maybe religious (yea i know we got hubologists and children of the cathedral)
but maybe something more compelling… We had Mr house (I guess he
embodied capitalism? what do you reckon?) What about Aristocracy? You
know born with the right to rule? Be a gentleman/woman etc… Maybe a
compelling cultist? (like the vipers only decent?). I dunno exactly but
we either need something different or a real earthquake in terms of
story telling…

if you are doing NY as the state, then you must have NYC as part of the core. It’s like trying to do FO3 without DC.

Agreed if were gonna go asian go with China, makes more sense. As for New York I dunno, It would definatly be a good new place to explore but personally I’d like a middle ground between city scapes and abit of countryside… Maybe New York state with New york city as DLC?

Why Japan? it literally was never mentioned in all of the FO games, if we are going to go with the asian route, go with China.

Idk what i think of nyc, hate the city irl, but maybe it will have a nicer feel to it in the FO universe. But if they do NYC they MUST make it super big. I wonder how times square will look like with fallout tech, aka 50’s inefficient bulbs.

Best locations for next fallout would be New York , Chicago, Boston , philiadelfia, cinncinatti , cities in Cali …. their is a ton of areas left to explore in America , although I would want to see a japan expansion

Hope we can, I am confident Bethesda will pull it off and make it the best game ever (hopefully without the need to use console commands to fix some things).

I think it was Vault 87… And the Enclave did wanna eliminate “non pure humans” too, but after all the times they got messed up (F2 and F3) I can’t really see them being a major faction either. Yea I agree with the DLC idea, I just don’t wanna see it as the core theme of the game. China was a major player in the events of the fallout universe so it would be a good way to expand on things, even south america or canada could be a good idea because goegraphically they are both close to the USA so it makes sense that people migrated. As far as I know the midwesten BOS started in Chicago so it would be pretty close to Detroit (I think anyway, im not American lol), Michigan again pretty close too right? I think Chris Avellone himself suggested New Orleans as a city protected by a giant dam so that could be pretty cool. I reckon your onto something with the areas you suggested. FOT was set around there and left alot of questions… And lets be honest it wasn’t the best of the Fallout games but it had some really cool ideas, the BOS was almost like the NCR by the end of the game, they recruited from various tribes, allowed ghouls and supermutants into their ranks and actually policed the area as opposed to just confiscating tech. Maybe they could start expanding towards ceasars legion and open up another front? Either way i’m sure what we speculate won’t have much bearing on F4 but we can hope right?

Yeah, but Europe was pretty much America’s puppet in the fallout universe, and I can’t imagine them not having vaults as well.

Also if you recall, pittsburgh did not have any vaults in the dlc, and the metro can act as a vault. I just seriously think having a fallout dlc or maybe even a large portion of it out of state can add lots of freedom to the dev’s. I love Fallout, but there is only so much one can do in this god forsaken country story wise and enemy wise in the long run. FO without BoS is not Fallout so they HAVE to stay, Enclave..eh…maybe some other group with power armor versus the BoS. Super Mutants…yeah those are mostly only W.Coast and E.Coast I would imagine with Mariposa and Vault 84 (was it 84?) respectively.

But if we can do a part of it in China it would add the ability to sorta serve the Enclave since the whole goal of the Enclave was to eliminate communism. I’m just really at a loss as to where they can set FO4

Detroit? Nah, place is already used for post-apocalyptic films
Michigan? Guess it could work, wasn’t there the Midwestern BoS there?
Atlanta/Southern USA? Well we had Point Look Out and idk how much i would enjoy fighting inbred redneck mutants.
Hearing talks of New Orleans, but assuming FO tech was spitting out pollutants left and right and more CO2 than can be imagined, I would say New Orleans is probably flooded by now due to levy failures, etc…
