The first topic usually when thinking
about a new Fallout game that comes up is where in the US will it
take place? I'll go over what I want and then my actual best
guess(because, this game will come out eventually...right? It fucking
better!). The Operation Anchorage DLC was my favorite DLC from
Fallout 3. I loved the location with snow and ice every where. So, I
think it would be cool if maybe the next game was located in and
around Denver, CO or Chicago, IL. Pretty much somewhere that gets
snow and the game will kind of have that nuclear winter feeling. I
think with where GFX are at today, it would look cool and open up new
possibilities for new types of monsters, story lines, dungeons, and
weapons.
Some might think it's “too themed” seeing as how New
Vegas was kind of the “desert game” or in RPG terms, the fire
world, but I still would love to see it. The Sears Tower just
destroyed and frozen over, Wrigley Field is just used as a death
Colosseum where wasteland hobos bet on who will win, the man or the
giant, furry, mutated monster that roams snow. That would be sick.
Now, my best guess based on NO
KNOWLEDGE OF ANYTHING HINTED AT ANYTHING WHATSOEVER, would probably
them bringing it back to LA or southern California, the same location
as in Fallout 1. Why? Well, it was the beginning of the series and
plus, I would assume that creators would want to see their original
work kind of revitalized with modern day GFX so they can show the
world what their game should really look like. Plus, LA is a popular
major city with surrounding mountains, ocean, lakes, so the terrain
would be well diverse. Just my best guess. I could be completely
wrong, which is highly likely considering that there is research
whatsoever in my thought...yeah.


Continuing with melee, certain
abilities surrounding it would be cool too. I mean, Fallout is an
RPG, so what if I wanted to be a melee heavy character, like a Monk.
There should be abilities that boost my defenses and guard ability
should I choose to walk that path. I mean, Fallout has never really
broken down and given the game a defined class system, WHICH IS GOOD,
but they should have more options open for players that want more
specific things.
A quick thing, it's more of a PLEASE
DON'T DO THIS instead of what I want to see, but, I hope they don't
throw away Speechcraft like they did Skyrim. You know, how they
melded it with Barter. Speech is my favorite ability to level up and
put points to, especially in a game like Fallout. I mean, if you
think about it logically, in a world full of mutants, raiders,
radiated food, almost no water or resources, you kind of have to use
your wits more to survive. So fuck it, how about an advancement in
Speechcraft. Let me have the ability to talk people into doing things
or into liking me(like in Oblivion) instead of the standard [Lie]
prompt. Evolve that somehow. More dialogue trees and more involvement
with speech. If I meet a random dude in the wastes, I should be able
to talk to him to either join me, or give me his stuff, or talk him
into checking a location with the promise of food but it really trips
a death trap I didn't want to walk into myself. Stuff like that. Get
connected with the people around you in this post apocalyptic world
and make decisions that effect their lives. THAT would be cool.
All in all, I really can't wait for a
new Fallout game. It's about that time. I completely HATE Elder
Scrolls Online so anything new from Bethesda right now is not of
interest to me. I just go back to playing Skyrim and now back to
Fallout 3. The time feels right for a new Fallout game and I think
most people agree.
