It not about the size, it about what in it. AC games gives you pretty much whole countries, but it is AC. VM:B has micro areas, and look how that great that game is (yeah it super buggy but still.) The map of fo4 needs to be even smaller, not bigger. Thus enriching what in it more. Not even general atomics, the old state house and mayor bunker? Or are you talking about quests and/or cities in general? .....Wut???? Would you be happy if the next Fallout game consisted of 2 city blocks? Had 1 dungeon, the Vault you walk out of and had a gigantic Achievement Get!!! when you left it signifying you won the game? Even smaller? The game is now barely a few miles wide, and is only an inch deep. You want to remove the only dimension the game is large. Do you go to forums for Turn based strategy games and complain they have too many turns?

How many have you made? If your answer is 0, then no, you can not make any of those things from memory. Not even close. Practical knowledge for pretty much every one of those items is far more important than book knowledge. You won't get much practice either after the bombs fall. You live in a society that depends on an intricate infrastructure to maintain itself, an infrastructure that just vaporized. Not dying of thirst, dying to the people around you who think you are a threat, or have something they need to not die, dying of hunger or dying from exposure all suddenly become your top priorities. I've met plenty of people who know recipes by heart, but still produce gag inducing trash that only resembles food.

I just wish the games engine would eliminate retarded legendaries. Mutant/Ghoul slaying Gama Gun. Extra damage to enemy types that are immune to the damage type. Brilliant. Anything critical related Fat Man. A chance to do nothing because you just vaporized whatever it was you were aiming at.
