Where will the next Fallout be?

[15gudasc]

Orlando! that would be awesome cause ud have those swamps a city and a theme park!! Well maybe the theme park as a DLC or something I dunno

[Meroviginian]

I think it would be neat if the old world government built a huge underground city.... Not like a vault , but something like Zion was in the matrix....I can see enclave attacking it with mech like machines. After all, the American way of live must be preserved at all cost.... Any society that doesn't hold the values of the American way, must be destroyed. I am a die hard enclave fan. Lol

Said it once, I'll say it again.

 

Damn I gotta check this more often.

 

Now, it's time for the recap:

 

New York: Popular opinion is split here, but the consensus appears to be that while it would be cool to run around in, there would be a lot of logistics and backstory problems, like how is it not a crater? Also, as has been mentioned, the ruin-crawling would be too close to Fallout 3, and Bethesda could easily be called on that.

However, there is merit to having an entire second world under New York in the subways and underpasses. Kind of like a ruinous Underdark.

 

New Orleans: This one is catching a bit of flak. The more I think about it, the more I realize it might be better as a well-made and expansive DLC as opposed to a full game. Still... Radgators and Mardi-Gras voodoo cults have a certain charm.

 

California: I think this is the second most likely choice. Assuming a Independent or House ending to Vegas, we could have a setting where while the NCR is not under direct attack from the Legion, they have finally failed to take territory they want, and cracks are beginning to show in the government, and the people are starting to become a bit resentful. Lot of nostalgia value, but the land is too "civilized" now for us to really wander it, which of course is half the fun of Fallout!

Final verdict? Interesting, but needs some seriously good story to be a decent game.

 

Chicago: This is what I think is the most likely. No NCR means a fresh start, and there are many ways to enhance Chicago, story-wise. You could be in a village like in Fallout 2, and then the village is raided by:

Enclave Remnant

Midwestern Brotherhood of Steel (who apparently aren't nice guys)

Raiders

Legion

Robo-Deathclaws riding Yao-Guai

 

Regardless of how you start, you could really get into the "politics" of the situation. There are any amount of cool sidestories and communities that you could base in Chicago or Chicago's surrounding territory.

 

Now I gotta ask you all something. If you really fell strongly about a certain location, tell Bethesda. Seriously, it's worth a shot, no?

Also, help me come up with new locations other than these. Inside America please, easier all around that way.

 

Keep it up, Steel be with you.

My bet is somewhere on the East Coast. I have a good feeling about the area around Boston. Just a hunch.

 

EDIT: But from your list, I like the idea of it being in New Orleans.

IDK if anybody mentioned this, but what about Atlanta?

Atlanta is pretty boring right now but it might not be so bad after a nuclear apocolypse.

Lets see

-Nuka Cola Headquarters/Museum

-Swamplands(not exactly near ATL but it doesn't have to be geologically correct)

-Return of the swamp folk from Point Lookout

-Worlds Largest Aquarium filled with mutated sea creatures

-city

-suburbs

-new mutant creatures like Radgators, mutant coyotes, sasquatch

Might be fun.

It would be awesome, if it were somewhere in Europe :ohdear:

 

Well, the only real choice there would be Britain since all other countries would be too confusing due their language.

This could bring up some hew flavor to the franchise because I doubt that there is a BoS, Enclave, etc. over there.

 

But this could also drive some hardcore-fans mad :psyduck:

 

 

But as we all know: This won't be happening :(

So my vote goes to something new, like Toronto, Baja or Vancouver

Britain would be cool but your right, it probably won't happen. Maybe a DLC set in Britain. Toronto isn't a bad idea. I'd like to go back to the east coast though.

so heres my reasoning lol and to start it off, Heres a quote i found:Not much is known about the setting of Fallout 4 so far.When asked to give hints as to the setting of the next Fallout game,Jason Bergman (senior producer of the bethesda fallout series) said (translated from Norwegian), "You'll get no tips from me. But the Mojave Wasteland was a fun place to explore, wasn't it?" *unquote*

 

..... there is also a very strong norwegian presence in the midwest (more noticeably mid and south minnesota), i know this because im from there :) so Fallout 3=east coast, FalloutNew vegas= west coast, and to me it makes sense Fallout 4= midwest. i personally dont under stand why theyd make a new fallout on the east coast when they have washington done on the east coast, and same regarding the west with nevada (technically california)..they are possibilities but perhaps we will get to see whats going on with people like the MWBoS and how they may or may not affect the world..

 

Also in the lonesome road dlc the robot ED-E side quest refrences to a untouched, safe vault in Detroit? Chicago? (midwest)

 

 

done reasoning lol.. but anyhow, the brotherhood of steel midwest chapter has never been used in bethesda's fallout series, it is more then likely they have affected a portion of the game. (if youve ever looked at enclave armor and MWBoS its strikingly similar leading me to believe there was some contact or something that lead to this. in turn... midwest. Minnesota, colorado, iowa, wisconsin, michigan, etc etc............. :)

fo1 and fo2 already did cali and the west coast pretty well. With new vegas I don't see them going back to the west coast anytime soon.

 

New York wouldn't make sense.

 

Chicago should be as bad as the FO3 DLC (Can't remember what it was called.)

[xxcomrad3xx]

 

New York wouldn't make sense.

 

lots of people seem to want it to be there.. but New york should be nothing but dust.. im thinking just east of the rockies in the midwest.. ill give everybody who thinks im wrong kudos if i am actually wrong.. :dance:
