Relevant info. pointing towards
the commonwealth/Boston – it’s mentioned in New Vegas that Mr. House
attended MIT/The Institute in his youth. The More research I do into Boston and the
surrounding area(s) Has lead me to believe that it could make a
great location for the next fallout game.

Boston is one of the most Historically rich cities in America,it also has pretty
and varied landscapes [ beautiful desolation in fallout of course 😉 ] A number of islands to explore ( 30 to be precise, within and around Boston harbor),Established in 1716, Boston Light, the oldest light station and second oldest lighthouse structure in the USA. A 251 acre (1 km²) park and conservation area named ‘Worlds End’… I mean c’mon! perfect name for the subject matter surrounding Fallout.

What about Salem,Ma??? Imagine the type of quests they could have surrounding witch craft and/or cults that have formed after the great war. Salem,Massachusetts is also considered the birthplace of the U.S. national guard.

I see a lot of fans mentioning Disneyland…Well, it just so happens that there is an abandoned themepark called ‘Wonderland’ that is believed to have been one of the inspirations for…You guessed it, Disneyland! – “Wonderland Amusement Park: operated from 1906 to 1911 in Revere, Massachusetts. included roller coasters, a reenactment of an urban conflagration, and various ethnic and technological attractions and is cited as a possible inspiration for Disneyland”.

Then you have M.I.T. a.k.a. The Institute – Isolated within a protective encloser that houses technological marvels.The birthplace of sophisticated androids,So advanced that they are hard to distinguish from real flesh & blood Human beings. Then of course, you have Harvard,one of the most prestigious Universities in the united states of America.

There are Metro systems,Fenway baseball park (aka
the green monster) American revolutionary war sites. H.P. Lovecraft based a couple of his novels in Mass. and rural Boston ,”Lovecraft
country” a fictitious area created/inspired by H.P. Lovecract the famous Horror author, embodies the north east of Massachusetts.The Dunwich building, the quest
associated with it in fallout 3 & Point Lookout,is a nod to H.P. Lovecraft.

Quabbin
Reservoir, Which is responsible for supplying the greater Boston area with fresh water, once was a valley before it was Purposely flooded Because of a lack of water resources in the local area.
Lovecraft based two of his stories in this region, Notably ‘the dunwich
horror’. Tragically, laying at the bottom of the reservoir are FOUR LOST
TOWNS! IMO that would be really cool to dive and explore these towns
In-game. All kinds of interesting things that they could create and put down there for us to explore. In addition, It was also ‘Quabbin Reservoir Precision Bombing and Gunnery Range’ used by former Army Air Force and later United States Air Force bomb and gunnery range. It was located in the bed of the Quabbin Reservoir before it was filled to capacity.

Before everyone assumes that Boston will be a lame & uninteresting location, I recommend doing a bit more research first before prematurely & ignorantly not giving it a chance.
Although I am from the NE coast of America, I have never been to Mass.and I didn’t think Boston was the best idea for a new Fallout game location until I thoroughly looked into it.

I did some reading and researching and like I said above, there are plenty of potentially interesting locations the area provides. I am only scratching the surface as well. Keep in mind,the states surrounding Boston,Massachusetts offer some great DLC potential In my opinion – with Maine,Rhode Island,New York etc.

New Orleans and it’s severe weather could be a good location, Texas and a story revolving around Fallout like Wild West would be awesome, Ohio, Illinois Alaska ( a story following up “Operation Anchorage” from Fallout 3) are all good locations as long as the lore of the Fallout Universe remains intact and they create an interesting story Fallout will be fine.

And by the way when has a Nuclear blasted city ever been exotic…? Lonesome Road was about as exotic as you can get when it comes to Fallout and that place was messed up.

Please stop looking at Fallout like it’s a GTA clone. The Fallout universe is much deeper and a lot more interesting than all the GTA story lines.

Indeed; One should never use a word like nonetheless twice in a single article. No I’m not joking.
