new orleans
would be great honestly, can have all sorts of people and creatures from all along the mississippi estuaries
I just ate 4 big corn cobs and Im in heaven
Hammerfell
They might go to Texas for the NV fans to have a similar feel
New York would be the obvious choice. Maybe even Detroit
there would hardly be any difference than real life for detroit
I mean seeing as how in the Fallout universe China never became the workshop of the world, Detroit might've remained an important town for car manufacturing, so I believe it should look better than modern day Detroit, not even a nucellar bomb could make a city look like it does right now lmao
pre-war detroit
The Caribbean.
Could actually be pretty cool to do a Pirates-themed Fallout. Couldn't be worse than anything else Bethesda has done to the series.
First I'll need to see all your receipts for Fallout 4, Fallout 76 and any DLC and club content.
But Todd I pirated them.
If it's not a purist return-to-form, then I hope it doesn't take place.
You're the video game equivalent of a fudd/reformer and I hate you because a part of me deep inside sees you as itself
Great Lakes or NoLa. I want an underwater vault Damnit and old fashioned diving suit.
Probably New York or somewhere in the South. Have an old idea though for how a Fallout: Japan could work if anyone's wants me to write walls of text.
Hit me. I've got nothing better to do.
>rough idea to keep it in line with Fallout's focus on Americana is that post WWII Japan had their culture systematically dismantled by the U.S government best they could.
>And the Japanese who complied did to the best of their ability but... Well, we're talking about the country that did their own Madonna and Child with baby Jesus having a topknot at birth and wearing shogun clothing despite being a pauper and the Virgin Mary in a Kimono
>So you get a lot of the vintage Americana but underneath the surface you'd still find layers of the original Japanese culture.
>After the bombs fell in The Great War and the dust cleared, Japan has found itself, for the first time in over a hundred years, free to make its own choices.
>Various factions though vie to control the future of the land of the rising sun
>A U.S. Government resume the American satellite status, an order of modern samurai with a Daimyo seek to return Japan to traditional roots, even the remnant of Chinese Communist infiltrators want to use Japan to help prop up what remains of China, and others simply wish to start anew. It's a new Sengoku Jidai as the Archipelago is split in civil war.
>The player is the descendant of the military stationed in Okinawa which possessed a sort of 'proto-vault' that had originally been intended to help with earthquakes, venturing out as life in this bunker is no longer sustainable.
>Misc stuff would include things like the Enclave got their ideas for Vault Experiments from Unit 731's notes
>Tsutomu Yamaguchi/an expy of him being revealed as The First Ghoul after surviving both of the original bomb drops in WWII
>Even gianter-Japanese Hornets which will be like Cazadores on crack-cocaine with steroids
>a variety of post-apocalyptic samurai-armor power armors and obligatory mecha shit
>Also an assortment of irradiated monsters/maddened raiders based on various Youkai.
okay, wasn't quite as long as I thought though I was keeping things compressed.
I'd play it.
Thanks, I think in a way my own idea of a Fallout: japan would be about how even though it's half a world away, the wastelands of the rising sun suffer many of the same issues experienced in America and it can be safely guessed everywhere (because, you know, War never changes). One idea to highlight this would have actually been encountering an expy of the Brotherhood of Steel, showing how the ideas and conclusions Maxson came too aren't unique and can spring up anywhere within remnant militants of any wasteland. Of course with the knight themes replaced with samurai themes.
Not sure if they'd end up a major sort of faction or just a fairly minor one you run into on the side.
what you are describing sounds nothing like fallout
Cool, anon. Thanks for sharing
Can we both indulge in world-building autism together? gmail: gldnclaw (my Halo 2 gamertag back in the day)
>Tsutomu Yamaguchi/an expy of him being revealed as The First Ghoul after surviving both of the original bomb drops in WWII
BETHESDA HIRE THIS MAN
thanks, I know it's a bit controversial since not all people like the idea of pre-war ghouls, but I kind of like the idea myself, both because being made purely from radiation exposure differentiates them from numerous things sprung from FEV side-effects, plus it loans to Fallout being an alternate history where radioactive ghouls became sort of recuring urban legends as nuclear power became increasingly used.
As for the Tsutomu expy, I like the idea of basically an ancient wise-man who has endured for three centuries sharing his wisdom with the player and thoughts on the nature of the world. Frick, now I'm imagining you'd encounter him in a shrine he built himself atop the underground lab that had held him prisoner and he's basically a wasteland zen buddhist priest.
I thought there had been more than a few localization changes and the fat man among them would have been removed. Huh. So nevermind on that a bit. Though not sure it'd make much sense, lore-wise, for fatman launchers to be around. Heck, I've thought to myself about an Enclave remnant being in Japan but don't think it'd be a great idea and would retread old ground too heavily.
yeah, like this guy feels.
Plus, actual enclave would undercut my own idea of how "we all face similar hardships/encounter similar problems no matter where we are."
i thought mt fuji turned japan into a giant crater in fallout lore?
I don't know about mt. fuji, or any directr reference to Japan but as I mentioned I thought it was implied Japan was nuked so hard it sunk into the sea in the FO1 intro.
Please do
what is the lore on Japan if China owns that half of the world? You would think they got nuked of the earth first
Well, in our world as it is, Japan was used as a buffer between the US and communist Asian states. FO-verse would just take that to an extreme, but admittedly, there is the question of why Japan even still exists since the original Fallout even mentions 'entire islands sank into boiling seas' and China would surely expend a lot of firepower on Japan in a nuclear exchange.
So this would be going on a very wild idea that China might have opted to prioritize mainland US and focused enough on Japan to suppress countermeasure systems meant to protect the US.
>Japan was used as a buffer between the US and communist Asian states
think you have your geopolitics in a mix, it's china that propped most of the commie shitholes up, to the point laos is now basically chinese puppet state
New York would only work if they crafted the map with verticality in mind. Skeleton skyscrapers acting as individual labyrinths with connecting bridges or grapple lines between them. Hubs, factions HQs, and "no man's land" could all take place in these connected towers.
This sounds cool but no dev has ever in history done a good job when the sentence "craft the map with verticality in mind" is involved.
>dungeon crawling the absolute frickfest of subterranean new york
hell yeah
>Fallout: Big Apple
>There's an entire underground of the city closer to RL New York due to them raising the entire tri-island area
>At some point you encounter a rather foul-mouthed, alcoholic, kleptomaniac protectron who becomes your companion
>You're title for this is once again The Courier.
>You will also go into space.
Fallout 5 will be NY but first will come New Vegas 2, probably set in both NV and San Francisco
>New York would only work if they crafted the map with verticality in mind.
I'm sure it would be, they did a lot of verticality with Boston
Florida or British Columbia would be the most interesting
Brazil and Spain-Germany (Prussia)
I can't tell if I want a southern rep or if I want them to never touch down here again after 76
Pacific northwest would be cool. Or Japan
>pacific northwest
Pretty sure the Frontier tainted that idea
I think it would be really good because you could start in the Seattle area to get blown up city vibes. Then head north up into the forested areas, eventually reaching Vancouver BC, another destroyed city. Maybe find a ship there that can take you to alaska? Alaska would be fun to see with all the lore there, but in reality not be fun to spend much time there.
The southern part could be Portland. The Willamette river is irradiated in our timeline, so you could have some interesting monsters.
Anchorage or Juneau would be a cool dlc
waifus!
kys
East TN/West NC Appalachia - deep forest and small, insular communities
>it's been longer than the delay between FO3 and FO4 than between FO4 and a mainline fallout game
>FO5 is still at least 7 years away
what...the...frick?
Anon. Skyrim release is closer to the year 2000 than we are to Skyrim release.
Denver would be cool. The thing I enjoyed about DL2 most was the world and Denver at least in VB would have been similar concept.
Fallout in China.
Would be interesting to see the damage done there.
With a bunch of communist, nationalist guerrilas, pseudo-emperors wanting power, Japs trying to take over again, etc....
Seattle.
Have it take place in winter for something new. And you can have a lot of lore on the Canadian annexation, Seattle would probably have a lot of military bases to prepare to take Vancouver.
In a nuclear war between China and the US, there is no way Japan is surviving. It would be even more destroyed than China.
Mexico
Providence RI
Fallout is a game about America. The setting was defined by American decor.
Anybody who pushes for a setting other then America is someone who doesn't get the theme at all and just wants to turn it into a generic post-apoc setting.
Interplay wanted to make a spinoff where you play as Bongs in the Middle East
interplay also wanted a top down PS2 game, so it's not like they themselves really got many of the themes the writers were going for
Interplay also pushed for an installment where the soundtrack was nothing but Killswitch Engange and Celldweller
The whole world belongs to America.
America annexed Canada and puppeted Mexico. I want to see new lands as well as the struggle between native culture and american influence
>Implying anyone expect literal ghoul care about the American occupation which lasted for like 10 years before the bombs
Why would any of these actual care about pre war beef?
Enclave failed so there is no USA. Literally if civilization ever builds back to Fallout then USA will be 12 or so different countries and canada will have little to do with any of them.
If the courier does every NCR quest then they'd be strong enough to be the ones to expand eastward and do a reverse manifest destiny to the coasts.
Yes Mexico is in America. Or are you referring to USA, the Mexican state?
shut up, todd howard.
Japan was and is a bigger corporate hellhole than current or historic US ever was. It might be a setting worth exploring. 50s occupied japan, combining the worst aspects of corporate lobbying and zaibatsu conglomerates working together to rape the country.
The problem is that America has a solid pulp culture in the 50s that has a whole variety of different sci-fi gimmicks. Japan only has Godzilla for that era, and kaiju should be in their own setting instead of trying to shove them in post-apoc.
>kaiju should be in their own setting instead of trying to shove them in post-apoc.
Do you not remember fighting fricking mirelurk queens in FO4? Super Mutant behemoths? Liberty prime? Scorch Beasts? There's plenty of boarderline kaiju-worthy enemies in Fallout. Helped that many kaiju are stereotypically radiation induced. Also part of the reason Japan didn't seem to have much of its own culture in the 50s was because it was aping America's.
Reminder the Glowing Sea in 4 was supposed to have a massive glowing one wandering it at one point
I didn't know this and now I'm sad we didn't get it.
that sounds like something worth putting into fo76 as a new boss
i disagree, tokusatsu can incorporate scifi elements, and kaiju (especially godzilla) is in itself a remnant of cold war fear of nuclear weapons
i do think it would come across as incredibly tasteless if it was made by americans, and featured taboo subjects like nukes being used in anger
If ever they made my FO:Japan game, probably would suggest not having the Fatman be available in it...
>If ever they made my FO:Japan game, probably would suggest not having the Fatman be available in it...
bro the games came out in japan and the fatman is in there too just under a different name I think
Then just don't have it there
Fallout 1 and 2 were generic post-apoc with people walking around likes its the 1980s/1990s Mad Max with some deviations in the world architecture and other small things.
>Fallout is a game about America. The setting was defined by American decor.
It is a game about AMERICANA, not about the USA's current day territory. Could easily make a game about an aircraft carrier stuck in the Pacific, or about a group of religious fanatics who moved to Alberta just in time for the nukes to start flying or whatever. As long as you can have cowboys and Elvis and muh guns, its americana, and its Fallout.
>t is a game about AMERICANA, not about the USA's current day territory.
no, it's simply not.
>n-n-no, its not!!
Cute feels, homo. Facts differ.
it's like how people suggest that GTA should be set outside america when the whole point of the game is parodying american culture. it would be something else and that's the same for fallout in another country
If Obsidian makes games for the West Coast, and Bethesda for the East Coast, then somebody new should be allowed to make a game in the Mexico, Canada, or Japan
Why is everyone talking about the 50s when Wasteland culture clearly progressed into something completely different?
because some people are stuck on Fallout being only that. Big example is Bethesda though. But there was a bit of the 1950's Americana regression in the pre-war Fallout U.S., which bleeds into the wasteland naturally with so many ruins around. No matter how little it would make sense after over two hundred fricking years.
The environment is the 50s from the perspective of a wastelander
divergence starts around the 50s for the vast majority of cases, and it's pretty clear the g11s and p90s being in the game is not canon
I never want to see another fallout game get made ever again
What are the odds Bethesda is gonna choose a canon ending for NV like what BI did with FO1 and Obsidean did with 2 to make a sequel to the og series? I hope none because last thing I want is those fricking morons at Bethesda to touch west coast Fallot
Obviously the NCR ending is canon
Considering they havent mentioned FNV once in Bethesda titles or even in their potential future fallout games, its pretty safe to assume they're still seething about how NV is revered as the best 3D fallout game despite it being patched together like shit similar to all bethesda games.
>Considering they havent mentioned FNV once in Bethesda titles or even in their potential future fallout games
they have, multiple times
they really havent tbh, mentioning the NCR and aradesh in that one moronic flashback with kellog doesnt count
>he thinks that's the extent of it
lol
>No... y...your because... I said so!
I dont remember a single explicit reference to NV or the events of that game in 4 unless they suddentl gave a shit about NV in the DLC's, you're a moron
lol
>lol
I accept your defeat
Not him but it's directly stated in a loading screen that nuka cola wild was made to compete with sunset sarsparilla after attempts to acquire it failed.
So yes, there is technically a reference to NV in 4.
Yes Beth wants to market Sunset Sasparilla like they did with Nuka-cola, they even have a SS shirt on sale in the CC
>What are the odds Bethesda is gonna choose a canon ending for NV like what BI did with FO1 and Obsidean did with 2 to make a sequel to the og series? I hope none because last thing I want is those fricking morons at Bethesda to touch west coast Fallot
They can always do the Lonesome Road ending where courier didn't matter and Mojave was lost to Tunnelers
If NV gets a canon ending it's probably Yes Man because it maintains the status quo as much as possible.
Let's go to Canada.
It's close enough to America in culture so it's familiar enough for most players and won't be jarring unlike when people say they want it set in China.
Was it Fallout 2 that said that the U.S. annexed Canada and had to put down resistance?
You could make the theme be distrustful of world superpowers such as the U.S. and by extension, the Enclave.
You could expand Enclave lore and have them as the bad guys.
You could make the people be distrustful of all of the series' classic factions like the BoS, NCR, etc.
New factions for world building
More snow settings, nuclear winter jokes
Make a mutated Moose/Elk monster instead of the standard Deathclaws/Radscorpions. Maybe a beaver monster?
Maybe a Vault-Tec knockoff in Canada? A rival company perhaps?
Those are great ideas
> You could expand Enclave lore and have them as the bad guys for the THIRD FRICKING TIME
just leave it alone for frick sakes
>Was it Fallout 2 that said that the U.S. annexed Canada and had to put down resistance?
the very beginning of the very first game mentions it
"our boys keeping the peace in newly-annexed Canada" or something like that as we see a powerarmor-wearing U.S soldier executing citizens on the TV
>fallout in japan wouldn't work
a challenger appears....
>California where mexicans are so scarce they're an "other" category
if only...
They're just lumped into the "American" category
Ronto is bound to be the shittiest of shitholes as is the case irl.
>bethesda
who fricking cares. series died in 1998 and even 2 borders on too cringe
Texas would be cool in theory but 85% of the state is just flat featureless prarie
Maybe Florida or the PNW?
I would like that next Fallout game would take place outside of USA. I want to see what happened to other countries after the war.
So why do people get uppity over the idea that Fallout should stay exclusively in America given it's setting and world. If I say Persona should only stay in Japan no one gets upset but with Fallout that idea sounds ludicrous.
Thirdies just seethe about america 24/7, there's no logic or reason to it
here
I'd say The area around Salt Lake
I'd like to see the Utah area as well, but Randall Clark's logs in Honest Hearts made it clear that Salt Lake and it's surrounding area was reduced to a sea of bricks, concrete and twisted metal beams jutting out of the foundations of blown buildings.
I don't know anything about Fallout but how does that tentacle from west virginia to Boston work? It looks moronic
That's the path the Eastern BOS took to the Commonwealth before they sent the Prydwen
Australia.
Due to the war overseas, Australia ended up becoming a much more habitable place with most of the desert now overgrown with mutant hardy jungles that got their start from being affected by passive radiation fallout.
Most of the cities remained intact due to the distance from rest, however they ended up adopting a border policy to preserve themselves after witnessing the horrors of the globe. Most of the coast is seen dotted with large missile silos to ward off any potential invasions or infestations.
Instead of the desert that they no longer have to worry about. They instead have to worry about the jungle that makes traversing through the country difficult, however some locals have begun to make peace with the mutated creatures and their environment with some certain few becoming "domesticated".
Likely, Chicago.
Every fallout since Fo3 mentions it in some way, with ED-E's voice logs from the lonesome road DLC saying there's still an Enclave outpost there.
Paladins in Fo3 mention there's lost chapters out there still slugging it out with super mutants so it would likely play into Bethesda's whole BoS=good Enclave=bad narrative they're so attached to.
And It would probably let Bethesda finally settle the record as to what the midwest of post-war America turned out to be like.
Personally I'd like to see Hawaii explored in some way, but the size and distance of the islands could be an issue.
God I hope so. There's nothing I'd love more than to see the windy city be turned into a smoldering crater.
>t.former chicagoanon
Is Watch Dogs an accurate representation of Chicago
I have never been to Chicago and only seen it in old gangster movies, so in that regard yes it's very accurate + the sci-fi hacker stuff.
Watchdogs 2 however is a very accurate representation of San Francisco and Silicon Valley. You might think the game is a parody of those elements. It is absolutely not.
Well they implemented vehicles for Starfield so I imagine that will be used in TESVI for boats possibly, so boats could be used to island hop
Hawaii's islands would be a benefit if anything, they could make a bunch of smaller open worlds with each one having different themes/factions and you take boats between them. Bethesda doesn't have to make every game map a giant square.
hopefully there isnt another one. what kind of moron is dying for more bethesda/obsidian zogchow?
Midwest please make their BOS canon again
>create a huge continent for the game's lore
>only use a small portion of it
why are developers like this? Look at the empty space at the top of that map. We know nothing about those parts, what's the point of making it so large?
Jesus fallout fans are the lowest tier of breathing humans. Do you fricking morons even read your posts?
Chicago with detriot as a DLC
They've done west coast, they've done desert, they've done east coast 3 times, NY is too nuked to be fun, maybe the south byt no one cares about shrimp. Midwest is obvious.
One of the things I genuinely hate about fully 3D games is how they fail to show scale.
Sure, empty desert with random encounters is lame, but cramming everything into an "open world" hurts the aforementioned scale.
entirely in the state of ohio
Ohio isn't a real place
there why am i sitting in it?
KY; imagine the Appalachian kino combined with ft. Knox and southern culture.
I want Mexico with cowboy ghouls fending off an automated Nuka-Cola factory gone rogue. I want Carribean banana plantations that weren't nuked becoming more despotic over the centuries, sending out corsair fleets like King Minos to bring back captives and feed them to dark Mirelurk gods. I want an NPC on the run from a securitron from DC because he didn't have his metro ticket.
Midwest/leaning towards Texas. It would be nice to see what's happening between the chaos of the East and West coasts. On top of this, they should do DLC similar to operation anchorage. We never got to play in more pre-war conflicts besides Operation Anchorage and it'd be nice to see some expansion on the Resource Wars. Some ideas:
>Playing as a U.S. soldier during the annexation of Mexico, maybe you get to see the moment the U.S. crossed the border, seeing shit like stingrays, tanks, APCs, robots, etc. in use.
>Playing as a U.S. soldier during the annexation of Canada- specifically when Ottawa is taken or some shit
>Or, a DLC about Chinese espionage in the U.S., where the player has to uncover and investigate different suspicious locations in the pre-war version of the city the next Fallout is taking place in to search for Chinese cells or spy networks.
Just spitballing, tl;dr Midwest/Texas.
I'd love to see a take on Texas, Swamplands and the like.
Fallout 1 or 2 remake. Who wouldn't want to see The Master or Frank Horrigan again?
Honestly, I want to see Montreal or Toronto. They are both US cities, and they would be big enough to have Vaults. Montreal also being an Island is ideal for exploration, you could go to Laval, some of Longeuil, and we have an Airport on the island, so that's cool for Airport stuff.
Damn, never realized Montreal's geography would be pretty good for a game, fallout or not.
Honestly I think they'll touch Canada at some point.
It's in the lore that Ronto is a thing that exists, it had the whole annexation pre-war. Bethesda has said multiple times they want to stick in the East and leave Obsidian in the West.
I think it's got a chance.
Hopefully Microsoft has Obsidian make a Fallout game in the Pacific Northwest or Denver
Montreal, Florida or Hawaii would be the best
>Half the fricking wasteland under BOS control
This always shits me. I get that the BOS are le cool power armor guys, but just frick off. No other unrelated army remnants took it upon themselves to seize army supplies after the war?
There were no warlords descended from these guys? No. Its just the shitty fricking BOS getting around being gay.
Anything but New York
Hawaii would be cool
I think that New York and Washington cant be done because they are the most targeted by Nukes, so they are probably dark Green areas.
Same with LA.
i remember that 3 hinted at boston for 4 quite a bit, with one of the main characters saying she is going there and i think she shows up in 4. so is there a location that 4 mentions a lot?
I know that 4 talks about Canada a little bit. Never played 76, so dont know about references.
Who says we're even getting a new Fallout?
Montana
china would be kino
the other side of the same coin.
