'''Unlike many of these posts from Fallout fans, I believe Bethseda has done a great job and only ask to consider these few things for Fallout 4....'''
- There is no question Fallout 4 should be set in New York City. There are just so many options to play with: several landmarks (Statue of Liberty, brooklyn bridge, empire state building, time square, etc, etc, etc,...) Also, you have all the borrows: Bronx, Queens, Long Island, Brooklyn, and Manhattan...game could even be taken inland and north to Buffalo, Canadien border etc,... Plus DLC's would allow easy and sensible access to Boston, New Jersy, etc,...
- Next, please allow more vertical exploration (perfect with New York City). Allow characters to jump from building to building and to climb.
- Next, please continue to make stealth one of many major character class developments. A ninja build is always my focus and would really like a few enhancements to this character class type. For Example: Stealth (Ninja gear) focused armor (would be relatively weak while allowing for great mobility and stealth capability). An effective ninja character would require immense strategy and could not just run in guns blazing, unless of course player takes dr and dt perks. I cant stress enough vertical exploration with ninja characters excelling tremendously at this, utilizing premptive strike (shadows and invisible cloak perk!!!) and attack and flee strategies.
- Lastly, with weapons, please have a Ninja-to sword. Straight bladed ninja-sword. There must be a unique version that is extremely powerful with chance to instakill and can be swung at incredibly high speeds. Damage would also be significantly higher compared to standard version (coated in futuristic diamond lazer cutting steel technology) Would be unbelievbally amazing!

- continued playability via entry points to randomised maps like: city ruins, sewers, mutant/ghoul/brotherhood/caesars legion strongholds etc. going back to a familiar area gets a bit boring, but still having a largish world with these entry points spread out through it. by randomised i'm thinking the game could choose from many different 'parts' connected randomly each time.
- continuous missions via npc's beyond the storyline. like skyrim but not so simplistic as go to A, kill B. somehow 'chain' them (again randomly if possible) so they become more like ministorylines. e.g: find recluse in (randomised) sewer who knows where a secret cache can be found in (randomised) city ruins, possible random people needing help here and there.
- money sinks back at your chosen hometown (one of the aforementioned strongholds maybe?) like maintenance, paying guards? maybe having to replace killed guards with people you rescue in some missions. expanding the investment in traders option from fallout 3.
- prefer realism, so leave out v.a.t.s, (save some programming there :) the skyrim combat was nice. so NO becoming master of absolutely everything like you could do in fallout 3.
Well i wanna make a few contributions as well. I would say add some more realism to it by that i mean give a sprint button for the love of god. Maybe a cover system for those really long raider firefights. And you need time for wounds to heal "kind of like alone in the dark* and destroyable armor. And TONS of customization. I saw this in the fourm somewhere (not my idea) but some said a journal i say this because i don't like that clunky pip boy and glove. I also think you should make the characters a little more attractive cuz there all look the same and lifeless. I think you should have the option as to where you start your game maybe something like: Raiders/Vault Dwellers/ Military/ LoneWolf/ Survivalist. Which in turn give you special perks. And maybe a torture system for when you have to interrogate someone for information. and if you capture 2 torture 1 to make the other 1 talk. I think there should be eating and drinking animations (easting and drinking also helps you heal faster over a long period of time like lets say you broke your leg. And also life threatening wounds I mean wounds that will bleed like if your character gets stabbed you need to bandage it up and apply pressure or stitches which leads to my next thing First Aid i think this skill should replace the medicine skill this skill will allow you to stitch wounds asses wounds heal others. I think there should be a water purification process like boiling it. and also add a "broken" feature like if your arm is crippled for a while and a raider or someone hits your arm with a sledge hammer it will break and you cant use you arm until you get it check out by a doc and like i was saying with the long term damage doctors could heal you instantly (i mean make your charator wait a month (30 seconds)). I also think that there should be a "Disguise" Feature like walking into a raider camp wearing a blastmaster armor then they will accept you. kind of like what NV did with the faction armor. I think backpacks would be good adding storage space / weight in which you can carry. I think weapons should be more improvised like a metal rod or a hammer. and Sneak attacks i want to an actually animation like standing up a smashing the ammer into their skull or maybe a necksnap like maybe look at what splinter cell did with conviction shoot out lights natural shadows last spot people saw you that kind of stuff (im not saying copy them just get a general idea from them) And silencers for all of us sneaky assassins out there. I think that the knife is great in its self i would just say add a lil more variety like double edged knives and maybe add them to the hand to hand combat system. And while on hand to hand i think that that should be like overhauled if anyone has every played the warriors (the one about the gang in coney island) maybe a h2h combat system like that with ground and pound features maybe a counter punch and or a disarm counter. Melee combat should have a light attack and power attack options that can cause crippling damage and laceration (depending on the weapon used baseball bat vs knife) sorry im so all over the place im just typing as it all comes to mind and i also think that there should be scarcs like player gets hit with shrapnel from a grenade it will leave a scar. I think smoking should be a feature which can calm the player down making aim more steady giving them more power/courage. and drinking actually gets you drunk and maybe the idea of marring someone or maybe a little u know what ;O . The Music i Think music should be imported off the xbox into the radio stations (for people whith xbox's). Moving bodies this is a goo idea to me because if you sneaking through a i dont know super duper mart and its littered with raiders you should be able to carry their bodies and hide them places like dark corner or hahah lol in the fridge maybe xD but raiders dont care about dead bodies hahaa . its been like what 200yr since the bombs feel maybe not all mutions are horriable maybe you have a heightned sence of hearing and smell or sight like eagle eye iron sights i loved it NV it should be in 4. And i personally like the saddist armor i think you should be able to make ear necklaces from you foes or people you have had revenge on. and maybe hang their fingers on your belt or like the concept art have them hanging by the scalp. Bow and arrows should be in there without a doubt. And also probally the biggest realistic thing this game can do is hit detection. what i mean by this (idk the exact term) if i shoot a raider 4 times in the with a 9mm hand gun why the hell is he still charging at me and why do i die when i get shot whit a itty bitty 10mm in the foot. thats all i really wanna say ive asked for so much but if only 1 think is added please give me a realistic looking sprint!
___________________________________________________________________________________ FALLOUT 4 IDEAS
For one i think that they should completely do away with Caesar's legion and the NCR because with the option to destroy one or the other in lonesome road would make it impractical not to do so. I like the idea to have remnants of major factions from earlier games but keep them as minor factions. Another thing is that there should be more secret stuff, like secret cities, towns, bunkers, and loot, that you have to really think or just get lucky to find.
FACTIONS
Brotherhood of steel- They should come back as either a major or a minor faction. If they're a minor faction they should be more like an outcast or a remnants group trying to finish something the rest of the brotherhood of steel game up on.
Enclave- Should return as a very hidden minor faction. Some of there quest should include playing as a mind controlled deathclaw.
Axiom/The Law- At the start of the game you enter a part of the wasteland patrolled by a western style regulator group called The Law. The law has a patrol outpost called Axiom where the regulators have a much more modern look. The regulators of axiom think they they could uphold the law better than "The Law," so the player has the choice to take over Old Law HQ and make it the New Axiom Prison.
CRAFTING/SCHEMATICS Crafting in skyrim was great but it took all the exploration out of the crafting process. In the next fallout i would like to see a return of schematics, alot of schematics. i think there should be schematics for every craftable weapon in previous fallout games and many more. I'm talking 50-100 schematics in the game. you can find schematics when exploring, buy them from merchants, get them for completing quest, or even loot them off dead bodies.
LOCKPICKING/HACKING I think the lockpicking system is fine although i think there shouldn't be a level requirement to pick certain locks, but hacking terminals needs to be completely redone.
VARIED GEOGRAPHIES I would like to see as least as much as desert/wasteland, tundra, marshland. But it would be nice to see areas like an over grown city that is now hard to tell apart from a jungle. I would also like to see more ruins of cities like in fallout 3, and maybe you could even explore buildings that have fallen over or even turned upside down.

THE THINGS I WANT TO SEE FROM FALLOUT 4
Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas were great additions to the fallout franchise, but like many people I think that they are more of a modern adaption than sequels to fallout 1 and 2.
Essentially what I want from fallout 4 is a game that requires no mods for a realistic and punishing wasteland and leaves nothing to be desired in terms of realism and harshness, but still allows for mods. Hardcore mode should still be optional, but should be MUCH more drastic than on new vegas.
I would like to see fallout 4 stay on the west coast, hopefully reaching north to arroyo and vault city and south past the LA boneyard and extending out past the colorado river. I hope it would include all the major factions from previous fallout games including remnants of those that were destroyed in cannon lore. It'd be nice to see a few hubologists in a hidden compound even just to make the universe feel concrete and continuous. Fallout 1 and 2 had a feeling of the wasteland really being desolate and vast and random encounters in certain areas could either devestate you or graciously reward you based on luck and the layout of the fight.
If fallout 4 does stay on the west coast, i hope it extends quite a ways to the east into the middle of the united states to facilitate my dream faction layout for the game. Far west coast would have NCR control, east of the colorado would have legion control. Mixed in in hidden bunkers would be enclave remnants, brotherhood remnants, both hiding and hoping to survive. On the eastern half of the united states, after the warrior became a part of the calculator and ushered in a new age for the Midwestern brotherhood they could have restored order to the east all the way out to the DC brotherhood and integrated both factions of the DC brotherhood. On the western half the NCR and legion, ravaged by the courier's nuclear devestation of their trade routes and mr house's securitron's kicking them out of nevada, would both be quite weakend and pushed back to their home territories. This primes the united states for a three way civil war between the newly forged brotherhood, the NCR, and the legion who would all be of approximately equal size and strength but very different ideals.
I hope to see a truly vast wasteland with many smaller towns like junktown and novac and modoc, and a few huge cities like new vegas and new reno (paralellism would be incredible with the gang run reno and the house run vegas, one a shining pillar of humanity and the other a den of evil and sin). I can't emphasise enough how much I want a vast amount of land area with many vaults, caves, and towns even if 80% of the land area is mostly empty the exploraton would be the best part.
Fallout 4 should not get rid of primitive peoples, and it should see a return of some advanced research facilities with more insight into the pre war fears of the American people, perhaps with more preserved soldiers and other interesting experiments. Those were always a very fun and exciting thing to find.
I'd also like to see Bio-Med-Gel come back, perhaps as a requirement for some special perks and operations.
With a vast wasteland there would really have to be some real good caravans like in fallout 3. Doc Hoff and Lucky didnt get so well known by being killed to a couple of spear chucking dudes in football pads and the caravans in fallout 4 should be similarly strong. Too often in new vegas did caravans feel useless and disposable. They need to be the blood of the wasteland. Player owned caravans would also be a great addition to the gameplay, as perhaps part of a happy trails sized caravan company, allowing the player to eventually take over the company and have their own caravans and planned routes.
If caravans become important then investing in them and in stores could also become important. Investing in a general goods store like moira brown's craterside supply could outfit her with a weapon manufacturing center or a resturant or just guards and metal plating outside her shop. I Want to be able to affect the wasteland in positive ways that have a visual affect rather than just some simple karma variable that is easy to exploit by killing packs of junkies to offset my mindless murders.
Playing a part in a caravan route to find places on your map and have fast travel points unlocked was a very rewarding part of fallout 2, and shoudl return for fallout 4.
Speaking of murders, why if i shoot someone in the face in the middle of a crowd then run away and come back a week later everyone who saw the crime acts as if im a great guy? Its because the recorded dialogue doesnt account for the multiple possible ways you can develop a relationship in fallout. Doing some good and some bad deeds winds you up as a wild child in new vegas but conversation and NPC reactions never really seemed to match up to anything but pure adoration or pure hatred. I want there to be multiple types of reactions, and hated to not mean instant combat, but threats that could be avoided with speech checks and counter threats.
On the topic of murders, I understand that people dont care to investigate into the deaths of others because it is very commonplace, but they dont even react t or dispose of corpses. I hope to see this changed in fallout 4. Some should run away, others may loot the corpse, while like faction members would dispose of the corpse properly by dragging it off or burying it.
The poisons and darts in new vegas always sounded cool to me, but were never really easy enough to use for assassinations. I think that poisoning foods and placing them in people's houses or bribing cooks to put poison in their customers foods could be an interesting way to deal with some unwanted people in a more subtle way.
Using too many drugs could also have affects similar to poisons, the franchise already features addiction and withdrawls and mentions overdosing but never happens to the player character or companions and you cant inject someone with med-x several times to cause them to overdose. Fallout already is a M rated title and adding drug overdosing to the mix would not push that limit. Personally I think that a blood toxicity meter similar to in the witcher 2 would help balance drug use, because honestly in fallout 3 and fallout nv a heavy drug user has a much easier time than a character who stays clean. The fallout 3 mod "wanderer's edition" did overdosing and drug effects in a very interesting and subtle way.
I want electricity to really be important and be able to be manipulated in fallout 4. Activating the solar power plant in new vegas didnt seem to really affect anything and other than for faction reputation there didnt seem to be any reason not to get the weapon rather than helping people with power. It really did nothing. Water was important in fallout 3 and that makes sense for a wasteland trying to recover.
Including functional light switches, appliances, motors, and medical devices could be interesting. If a doctor has power in his lab he could perform more advanced surgeries and heal better than if he does not.
Electricity really functioning could have incredible mechanics for lighting and combat as well. Blowing up a generator outside a raider complex could shut down all the lights and attacking at night with night vision goggles could be a huge advantage. Individual light switches and circuit breakers that function could serve as distractions for npcs trying to figure out why the power is not on further disorienting their defences.
Why can't i choose the perk progression for my followers!? Seriously bethesda? This still isn't a feature of the franchise? Even in skyrim followers automatically level? Look at baldur's gate, one of the most famous games ever for character development. They allow you to customize everything about your followers from the day you meet them on. Why do developers not learn from others' successes? I am a little blown away, but I hope to see follower customization in fallout 4.
While i'm on the topic of followers, what happened to charisma based number of followers and the cult of personality perk from fallout 2? A very fun part of single player games is interacting with your followers and being required to go to many of the same locations with each follower is a huge hassle. Mods that extend the follower limit cannot rebalance combat around the size of your party, nor can they add in follower interactions which is desperately needed in fallout 4!
Crafting could also come into play with restoring power and water supplies to small towns or diverting it away from them towards others. Building wind mills and fixing generators could be important local quests that really affect the look of towns! Fixing a wind mill that powers a well causes locals to go and get water from it when they wouldnt usually. Farmers dump buckets on their crops rather than just scratching away with a rake all day.
There are honestly endless possibilities with the RADIANT AI system as displayed in skyrim and it should be expanded even MORE for fallout 4.
Random encounters should become more frequent and random as well. I dont like that there are only a set number of occurrences. What about like in fallout 2 where there could be pairing of random events you would normally face? I hated running into "Remnants of the master's army" early on, but when i ran into "A caravan fending off Remnants of the master's army" it could be a huge and game changing opportunity! I want to be able to look into NPC vs NPC combat in fallout 4 and have it be really random and dynamic and exciting!
By the way, in fallout 3 and new vegas, as well as in skyrim, i always seem to be shopping alone. NPCs never turn up in the shops i am in and talk to the shopkeeper or sell things. This could be a type of random encounter or scripted, but it would definitely make the universe feel fuller.
Faction vs Faction encounters like the van graafs versus ceaser's legion were so fun in fallout new vegas. Please make them come back and expand them to be more than just one time events. Troops being taken off trains and boats from time to time should persist and go out to do patrols until they are killed and eventually replaced. If a camp doesn't have anyone die for a long time perhaps they put up a couple reinforcements and entrench their position a little more. A camp that is always hunted and picked bare might shrink or even be abandoned over time. VISUALLY AS WELL! visual is becoming more and more important to gamers and seeing the results of your actions is a driving force for me.
Not all crafted items should be identical! this doesnt make sense! How is it that for 2 hours sitting at a workbench with nothing but duct tape, and a broken down lawn mower I can come out with an exact replica of every other flame sword in the wastes? My parts were surely different and my skill surely should play a part in the creation, where in fallout 3 and new vegas it really did not. Different appearances and brands for motorcycle tanks and different scrap metals like steel or tin would certainly make a difference but both would work for the purpose of crafting a makeshift item.
I want to see crafting become an essential part of the game. With vaults being opened for over 200 years and the only manufacturers of weapons being the enclave, van graafs and gun runners, there should not be an abundance so that every bandit and raider can have a pre war rifle or laser weapon. There shoudl be AT LEAST one homemade version of every item, weapon, and armor, allowing for more diverse looting and itemization.
Crafting should also become more simple and straightforward. Rather than an item requiring exact parts it should require generalized parts. For example building any rifle would require a rifle barrel, but nothing else would be as specific. Using cans, scrap metal, baseball bats, crutches, and other typical fallout items you could acheive different rifles with different looks but similar damage based on the rifle barrel. Perhaps in crafitng a laser pistol you would be required to provide a laser optics but be able to mish mash the rest of the pistol with conductors, gun grips, batteries, scopes, tubes, and other junk to create pistols with varying effectiveness.
Fallout 4 can definitely benefit from more choices being made in which implants to use, and visual appearance of implants. I like that in old world blues you can get your heart removed and your spine removed but there didnt seem to be any negative consequences of this. Wouldn't electromagnetic weapons and electric weapons do more damage to the player with an electric heart?
Lets say i have crippled my arm 50 times, perhaps a perk could be unlocked for a prosthetic arm which gives penalties to weapons used in that arm but cant be crippled anymore or receive damage, and functions as an item that must be maintained similar to armor or weapons.
Combat does not need very many enhancements other than; dual wielding, full time grenade key, NPC reactions to primary needs, and more punishing visual and movement distorting effects from broken body parts.
Dual weilding one handed guns/energy weapons/fist weapons doesnt seem to be too strange for the fallout universe, perhaps at the expense of huge reloading times and decreased accuracy and increased strength requirements this could become an interesting feature like in skyrim. I would suggest it be a perk that requires a certain amount of strength and agility, so that npcs would not always dual wield when given the chance.
Dual weilding pistols could reduce the ap cost in vats and allow for more flashy gameplay relying on killing groups within one reload rather than spending a great deal of time taking cover while reloading.
A grenade hotkey would make using grenades a much more viable and less annoying proposition. Custom crafting long fuses for grenades is a feature I would enjoy, dropping grenades early then luring enemies into a pile of them as a booby trap similar to how c4 seems to function in new vegas.
Sure, in fallout 3 and new vegas NPCs eat and sleep, but does it affect their combat stats if they dont? Sleep deprivation should lower perception, allowing for the player character to stealth around sleepy NPCs easier than fully awake ones. This seems like a no brainer to me.
Once again I'm going to reference a fallout 3 mod called wanderer's edition. This mod made broken limbs a nightmare to deal with and using drugs for combat purposes a tough choice because of the disorientation on screen. Please bring this feature into fallout 4. Wow was it amazing.
I will continue to edit and expand my post as I feel interested, could someone please instruct me on what to do with my signature if i continue to edit the same post?

FALLOUT 4 IDEAS
For one i think that they should completely do away with Caesar's legion and the NCR because with the option to destroy one or the other in lonesome road would make it impractical not to do so. I like the idea to have remnants of major factions from earlier games but keep them as minor factions.
My Name is Bill Cliffordson, I belive that the next fallout should include the Lone Wanderer being in control of their own faction, and be able to generate money and build their own settlement/base and conquer other settlements to become stronger and gain more recruits. All my freinds i have spoken to think this is a wicked idea! The money could be spent on improving Shops, business,etc. Basically this would cause alliances and huge wars between faction which im pretty sure most fallout fans would believe is AAMAZING!!!
____________________________________________________________________________________________
I think the NCR and legion jumping all the way to New York is at the least, too soon, I think looking deeper into Midwest would be nice. Alot of people ask for a city terrian, which i ask for too, so I would like to see it based in the chicago and milwaukee area. I also would love to see a weather system, including a "Nuclear Winter". Ability to survive in weather conditions when its snowing by wearing outfits that keep you warm, and staying outside for too long could give you frostbite.
I think it would also be cool to be able to have a squad of companions traveling with you at the same time. All with there own agendas, perks, specialties, weapon prefrance, stories, and quest. Also adding to that idea, I would care to see squad commands, like "look through this building for something useful" or "guard this, while I go ahead" or maybe "flank this targert." that's just asking alittle too much, tho
Anyway I'd hate to be a drag, but transportation like cars and motorcycles would make the game somewhat too easy. On the otherhand maybe a subway that was rebuilt and could get the player from point A to point B, C, and D.. That seems cool. Even boats could work for water occurances. (Also for water I've read good ideas to have more enemies like "sharks" ,besides the occasional mirelurk within the water itself, and hand to hand or melee combat should be added if thats ever added)
I would also like to see more customization with armor and weapons. Mods are cool for weapon customization, but Me personaly, I dont touch a weapon if its ugly. I would want to see like painting insignias or adding little acessories that could hang off your weapon for "good luck". also instead of body armor covering the whole armor aspect, besides for head wear. I'd want to see body, leg, feet hands, shoulders, even under armor that could be painted with insignias and decorated as well. (just as another asking for too much, it also be awesome to get your character tattoos)
More abominations and radiated creatures would be nice.... I'd like to see executions too, like VATS has been very useful and should really be kept in the game, but watching people die in VATS just isn't gonna keep the game badass, executions should also be added just to attract the player's eye and raise his/her/ or hermaphrodite's confidence.
I know this was canceled but I really want to see fallout go online... Too many times have I wanted to play with my friends on fallout and we could only play single player.
I would honestly want to see more random encounters from raiders, mentally damaged people, or a honest person needing assistance like getting a cat out of a tree.
Starting your own faction could be nice, allying with several others. Including your own faction would also be owning your own Settlements, Farms, Forts,.. Casinos, and other fronts and such. Fortifying them would also be nice since me personally always hating having to go back to defend a territory once i had it in my possesion. Hiring workers, and mercenaries would also be cool.--Just Ideas 10:21, June 3, 2012 (UTC)
I think the story should be set after fallout 3 and balance and natural order is slowly being restored to the world thanks to your fathers water purification invention, so all the water is purified and the world is basically starting again, so then the humans want to get rid of the mutants as if they drink out of the water etc they taint it with radiation. But the super mutants get angry at this and want to bring the world back to it's apocalyptic state where everything was like fallout 3, so they get their hands on nuke blueprints and set out to create more nukes to end the world with. But the humans don't find out until after they have launched one at a city and completely destroyed it. So then the humans declare war against the super mutants and your job is to end it all by destroying the super humans and their nukes. I thought this was a great storyline, also they should add a house feature in to the game where you can claim any building that meets a certain criteria so any buildings in a certain size range, this would add so much more options to the game and greatly aid survival, not only that but any house you own can be customized like in the sims but only to a certain extent like moving furniture etc but not like totally extending the house.
__________________________________________________________________________________ I think it would be fun to see Southern Florida in a city like Miami. The dlcs could be in places like Cuba or Disney World. It would also be cool to see what happened to China after the Great War. You could start out as a predecessor of an American sleeper agent and be given access to all of his weapons to start out. Dlcs could be in places like India or Vietnam.
__________________________________________________________________________________
I don't know about story or weapon ideas, but for some reason, I would like to see The International Space Station as a place in this game. Weird. Otherwise, I agree with the person agreeing with thetrakas, who I also agree with.
_________________________________________________________________________________
I love all of thetrakas's ideas, especially on crafting and weapon mods, except for the intro. What if you start the game in a vault and some crazy old guy trains in like weapons and stuff, but he dies. so your the only one who knows how to use weapons when raiders or slavers or something breaks into the vault and attacks. every one in the vault should be rushed out a secret exit of the vault. while being chased by the enemy you get separated by your group, and start your adventure as the lone wanderer.
________________________________________________________________________________ FALLOUT 4 ideas By thetrakas
INTRO I think fallout 4 should start in a waiting room in pre-war times filling out a formality. This is where you write your name and your stats. Once you finish filling out the formality you get on a black bus. The bus takes you to the Vault-Tech Military Training Facility 5, VMTF5. Here you and four other people will learn gun usage and maintenance, weapon crafting, stealth, melee, lock picking and computer hacking, and get your pip-boy. Once you have finished your training you here some explosions in the distance and a radio broadcast that says Facility 2 has been hit. You and your group are hurried into a small room when the trainer of your group accesses a terminal. When he does that the back wall opens exposing a vault door, behind it are 5 cryogenic freezing pods that you are rushed into. Then as the vault door closes there is another explosion and some of the blast gets into the vault. And you go to a loading screen.
MAIN QUEST Once you wake up you see 3 guys standing trying to access the pod terminals. One of the pods opens and a feral ghoul jumps out and attacks the guys. they quickly kill the ghoul and go on to the next pod, your pod. They open it and aggressively take you out side into the wasteland. They take you over to a carriage being pulled by two mutated horses that has two of the other people from your group tied up in the back. Before they can put on it the people tying you up get shot in the head and the carriage takes off. The man who shot your captures takes you to a town where you begin your quest to find the people who took your friends.
RAIDERS Raiders should use crudely crafted weapons made of animal hides bones and teeth, stone, sticks, and pre-war misc. There will also be some raiders who have special schematics weapons such as a group who uses weapons made out of cameras such as camera grenades and stun sticks that shock the enemy.
CRAFTING When you first start the game all you can craft is simple raider weapons and armor made out of bones, sticks, hide, stones and pre-war misc. You need to get the schematics to make the other weapons and armor. You can find these schematics or receive them as a reward for quest. Another system is the tinkering system where you can take a few misc items and put them together and hope to make a weapon or armor, although without the schematics the item will be drastically weaker.
WEAPON/ARMOR MODS With armor mods you can either strengthen, reinforce, or compact. With strengthen you can increase your armors damage threshold, with reinforce you can decrease deterioration, and with compact you can make your armor lighter. With weapons you will have mods like a pistol scope that can go on any pistol in the game or an energydrive that can go on any energy weapon to make it do more damage.
HACKING Terminal hacking in Fallout 3 and New Vegas was terrible and needs to change. My idea is that you should have overdrives that have 4 charges each and when you hack a terminal you should have to line up the four charges in the correct order to get passed each safety wall the harder the terminal the more safety walls. You can also hack robots.
REPAIR Weapons should be able to be "maintained" with tape, scrap metal, and weapon parts until it gets broken then your broken weapon gets turned into weapon parts of what ever that weapon is. ex- If you break a combat shotgun you will have shot gun parts that you can repair a double barrel or a single shot with.

________________________________________________________________________________
My idea for fallout 4 is you start out in New York in a Nuclear Winter as a soldier maybe a marine that has been fully trained in weapons and survival, you start out in a Cryogenic (Sorry if spelt wrong. Basically a thing that freezes you) this can be like a Medical chamber / box that can be found in Fallout: New Vegas. You get out of the chamber and after you were meant to be in there for 100 to 150 years it turns out you have been in there for closer to 250 years. You get out and retrieve so basic gear which includes basic marine armor and a pistol, you exit the vault type building which has a vault door. Along with you gear you find a Pip-boy but instead of being a Pip-boy 3000 this is a Pip-boy 4000 which is even more advanced. (Instead of having a Pip-boy another way they could include this is one that was suggested by another member which is a journal, this could keep your quests in and instead of having the map and having to find locations as you wonder around New York your character automatically draws out the map including street names and areas which is another cool way of having the map. You could also have you stats and other things in here if you wanted too. After leaving the vault / vault like building that you were in you exit into a basement of a building which is rather small because of being mostly destroyed this exits out onto the middle of New York city. A lot of the buildings are still held together and are still very stable but have been destroyed to a certain level (The average height of a apartment block building (In the UK) ). You have no memory because of the errors that caused the Cryogenic chamber to open up so late, the only memories you have come back in small flash backs (Which occure across the game). The Flash Backs show you of Military people and famous people such as the President talking to both you and the other ten people that are stationed at you Cryogenic Vault (All ten are cryogenically frozen but most died (Maybe one could survive but maybe is long dead and his decendents live on as a possible companion or he himself lives on as a possible companion). You find raiders that attack you on first sight which gives you the basics on fighting, once you kill them you find some food, books (Which are readable), chems, clothing, weapons and some caps this triggers the rest of the tutorials helping you learn the basics of the game. You also find a note which says that there is a camp of survivors in one of the big buildings near Time Square, this is a lot like Megaton from Fallout 3 except it one large tall building. There are guards outside that ask you what you are doing here but with a bit of talking and maybe helping them out or using your speach skills you get in and speak to the mayor. The rest of the game involves having to find out what happened and eventually you get Flash Backs of the president talking to you a number of times, he wants you to do something special if you survive. The aim is to find out what he wanted from you via quests and survivors and books as well as the flash backs you get from doing / reading these things. Other things such as buildings and monuments give you flash backs as well. There is a lot more i would like to see from this game and i would definetly like to see it announced in 2012 but most of all i want it to be (And lots of other people from what i have read) IS TO BE A NUCLEAR WINTER!!! and TO BE IN NEW YORK.
As well as other things such as buyable / customization houses and lots of other things but most of all NUCLEAR WINTER and NEW YORK.
I do not take all the credit for this as some ideas came from other people in this forum and the other forum about this (None 2012 version) so credit given where credit is due. I have played all fallout games including fallout 1, fallout 2, fallout 3, Fallout Tactics, Fallout BoS, i would of palyed Van Buren and i will hopefully play Fallout Online, ( I have also played all DLC and read a lot of Lore) I hope they take any of our ideas on board and realise that what we want is a Nuclear Winter New York. Thanks
And as always Ron Perlman: War... War never changes! :)
Certainly Yakov's Fallout 4 and Mutants Rising, although outside a Fallout 2 link and some great RPG ideas, I'd love to have a STALKER-esque type of ending (and 'morale'), both the game, and the movie. --213.29.115.6 19:40, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

My idea for fallout 4 would be that you and your friend fleeing the riots of Vancouver and decide to take refuge in Seattle. Suddenly when you get close to landing at the docks in the wharf a super mutant in the distance starts shooting in the distance and distracts you and you crash. the screen fades to black and you wake up in a camp in the neighbouring town of kirkland. You see a man washing some blood off your knee. After you start to feel better, he tells you a man named Aaron brought you here. You go to talk to him and thank him for saving you. You notice that your friend isn't there. You ask him where he is and he tells you to go check in the close settlement of Harocaster. He will give you a weapon to use according to your skills. At this time the skills menu and the s.p.e.c.i.a.l menu will pop up and you will choose your skills. Then he gives you the weapon and you're off to Harocaster. There you will get your next quest. That is my idea for the start of Fallout 4. In my idea this game will take you to the most famous landmarks in seattle such as the Space Needle.
(DLC) 1: *CRUISE CONTROL* Takes you on a cruise ship to Hawaii where you have to stop an evil scientist from destroying the ship.
2: *WASHINGTON'S PEAK* Takes you to mount rushmore. It would be cool to see what happened to it after the war.
3: *DEATH CANYON* Takes you to the grand canyon. Wouldn't that be cool?
4: *PORT COLUMBIA* Takes you to portland. The idea is that it would be all flooded and you would have to strategicly find safe ways to go.
5: *RED HAVOC* Sends you back to Vancouver to stop the riots from spreading to Seattle. (This would only take place after the main story, like Broken Steel in Fallout 3)

Fallout 4
Fallout 4 will go back to the way Fallout 3 did things, but with a few changes.
Story - The story of the games goes that you where part of a very wealthy family with the money to be part of a advanced version of the vault program. It takes the idea of the population fleeing to the vaults, but only a select few getting to be placed in a instant vault. this basically makes you sleep for a set number of years until the censers believed it would be right to wake you up. Well after about 280 years your personal vaults finally open up, along with the rest of your family's. Your mother, father, sister, your uncle, and younger brother all wake up and expect go find a new world for them and to find other more experienced survivors. well you put some clothes on and go out side with your family to see the new world. At first your greeted by a lush green field with no radiation, and as you and your family is cheering and smiling, a feral pack of starving dogs attack your family and your self. They horrifically rip off your uncles arm before you are able to fight them off. You stop the bleeding with a stimpack and docters bag, but it wont hold forever, so you and your family leave the vault to find others that can probably treat your uncles wound You make your way out of the long tunnel to the rest of New York only to find all most every thing dead except a couple of living green trees, but mostly just rubble and dirt. The sky is now blue, but this is the future of New York.
Main quest - The main quest will revolve around your part with the instant Vault project, and the secrets to the future of man kind that New York holds. The main enemy will be the common Wealth.
Factions
The faction system in the game will be different in this installment. They will act kind of like the guilds in the Elder Scrolls series, but excess to one will lock you out of another if you advance beyond the beginning rank of its enemies.
The Brotherhood of Steel East - The Brotherhood of steel in this chapter will be the east coast faction from the Capital Wasteland. The West coast Faction will also be in the game and will be the focus of some of the quest line. The story line will revolve around finding and destroying a secret circle of prewar scientists. Enemy of Raiders, and Slavers
Enclave - The Enclave will be in this chapter of Fallout as well and will deal with them finding a new identity for them self and finding new members to keep the faction from completely dissolving. Enemy of the Slavers and collectors.
NCR - The NCR quest line will revolve around them getting a foot hold in New York and trying defeat the local Slavers and the Common Wealth. Enemy to the Slavers, Brotherhood of Steel, and Cesar's Legion.
Cesar's Legion - The story to the legion will involve power struggles and civil war within the Legion. Enemy to the Brotherhood of Steel, and NCR. Enemy to the NCR and The Dusters.
Slavers - The Slaver faction will deal mostly with finding and selling many people and soldiers around the wasteland, and near the end will focus on you stealing power from the leader. Enemy to the Enclave and the Brotherhood of Steel.
The Dusters - This faction is a group of bounty hunters and law men who work together to rid the wasteland of criminals and psychos. Their story line will revolve around trying to take down a Criminal Organization known as the collectors. Enemy to the slavers, Raiders, and collectors.
The Collectors - This faction is a dark group of assassins who work for every one and any one. Their story line will focus on assassinations and eventually the destruction of the Dusters. Enemy to the Enclave and Dusters.
The Raiders - This faction starts off as a small group of raiders searching for new members. Through the course of the story line you most work to pull other groups into yours through killing, kidnapping, and bribe. the story line will all so focus on evading a faction of the Brotherhood of Steal.
Suggestions for Fallout 4 by Derethim
Setting:
I think the Main Storyline should settle in big city, not like the last Fallout (New Vegas). The New Vegas looked too untouched, even if it wasn't directly hit by Bombs. I suggest that it should settle someplace alike Fallout 3, which was in Washington DC. It was fun going throught the Metros and fighting countless Ghouls and stuff. I like the before idea of the game being set in someplace like New York, imagine the countless Skyscrapers destroyed by the bombs and Vaults hidden around in the ruins of Cloverfield-like destroyed Skyscrapers. Also, one of the DLC's shouldn't set somewere in an untouched place,but a place that was hit by the most nukes and Great War. The Population would be mostly hidden in the remaining standing buildings, and the grounds under them would be crawling with Mutants, Ghouls, wild dogs etc. There could also be very large factory dictricts, with overradiated Nuclear Power Plant, The Docks full of creepy abandoned ships and an area outside the city that would be clear of buildings except for an occasional abandoned shack just like The Mojave, it could also be a good starting place (who would bomb an, for example, empty desert). The skies would be clear again, with an occasion of a Dust Storms.
That's all about the World, i think.
Factions
The factions could remain as they are, but they would be more spread around the America, but i would like to add some side-factions, i have a few ideas too.
Faction 1.
This faction could be something like a large group of united scavengers, their quests would include getting rare things out of people, dungeons etc. for building equipment/schematics, you could use later on. Every piece of this equipment would be unique and it could include The Cryolator too.
Faction 2.
This facton could be made out of freelance Mercenaries that would be similiar to the Elder Scrolls's series Companions or Fighters Guild.
Faction 3.
A faction of Tribals like from Honest Hearts that would live in a slightly irradiated forests outside the city (they wouldn't be ghouls). They would all wear light armor or clothing and wuld have a good range of melee weapons and some amulets/necklaces.
All the other factions could stay and do their stuff.
Weapons and Equipment
Armor & Clothing
Head: A be wide-range of skill enhancing goggles, glasses, sunglasses, helmets, hats and caps. Also some of the, already mentioned, tribal necklaces.
Armor: All divided to Light, Medium and Heavy, and all would be moddable.
Weapons
Most of the already existing ones could be used, all would be modable except for the unique ones just like in the New Vegas. The dual wield from Skyrim would be great, by the way.
Sections:
-Small Guns Lots of one handed and two handed guns, the one handed would be mostly pistols and small shotguns like the Pepperbox revolver or Sawed-off Shotgun. Two handed would be classic: Miniguns, Rifles, Shotguns etc.
-Energy weapons Al existing ones, added would consist of energy pistols/rifles charged by radiaton and the mentioned Cryolators and lots of homemade energy guns. Also, guns shooting acid would be great too! And more versions of flamethrowers.
I haven't thought of any melee weapons for this suggestion as the ideas for melee weapons are easy to think of, any club, piece of water valve or anything really.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- That's all hope you like some of the ideas, let me know what you think on my mail.
skyrusish@gmail.com
I really love thetrekas's ideas because of how kickass it would be to have been a person who was alive during the prewar era but was cryogenically frozen. I think that would make the coolest character ever.
Alright, I would like to see the whole "growing up" scenario much like Fallout 3 used. However, instead of growing up in a safe Vault, you grow up a slave, being traded/sold by traders throughout the location. I would like to see the new location as something like Midwest United States. Cities such as Chicago, IL, St. Louis, MO, and even up North like Michigan. Yeah.
CBHomans' Thoughts
Fallout 4 New York City, I agree with the masses, would be the setting. It's now the Empire Wasteland, hey, I'm a native New Yorker. Manhattan, like downtown DC in FO3, is the most wild, destroyed area. Brooklyn would be in a similar state, but not quite as obliterated. Staten Island, as the least affected by the war, is controlled by the powerful Island Dominion. Queens and the Bronx are midway, with scattered settlements. CHARACTER CREATION AND GAME START The player has a choice of three races, each with their own starting locations.
HUMAN You may be a vault-born human, from Vault 72 in the Bronx. As one of the "control vaults", there was no inherent flaw. Some time after the war, it opened. As it was located under Yankee Stadium, it became the central hub of the settlement that the Stadium has become. Humans are a well-rounded race, jacks-of-all-trades, masters of none.
GHOUL You may also choose to be a (non-feral) ghoul. You were once a human wastelander, but after you and your scavving group took an ill-fated trip to central Manhattan, you were ghoulified. You now reside in the remains of the Chrysler building. Ghouls are targets of racism and hate, but are hardy and radiation-immune.
ANDROID An escaped android from the Commonwealth, you start the game just after entering the Empire Wasteland. You were constructed at the Institute, and were lucky enough to flee far away. However, you are subject to fairly frequent random encounters with Institute agents. Androids are, in fact, weak to radiation, as their non-protected circuits can easily be fried, but also are hardy and naturally intelligent.
Main Quest Soon after completing a short tutorial that differs depending on your race, you are released into the wasteland. The totalitarian Staten Dominion is spreading, attempting to take the Empire Wasteland, and, if possible, the entire Eastern Seaboard. The player can either choose to side with them (negative karma) and bring the Dominion to true dominion (c what i did thar) of the Wasteland, or crush them and liberate Staten Island itself.
The following ideas are made by ShinningKnight (apologies if anyone has already had similar ideas): I believe the next Fallout game should be set before the Great War where we get to see stuff like Vault-Tec,REPCONN and Rob-co when they were at the height of their power. Maybe your character could play a role of trying to stop the war but ultimately fails, then after deciding to survive the disaster he or she gets into a Vault but one that opens up after 10 or 20 years after the bombs fall and try to rebuild civilisation, there are so many things that could be done with a prequel to the series. DLC could take the form of seeing important mentioned only events: such as the first battle of Hoover Dam or the massacre at Bitter Springs or even setting up events that we have all seen such as the creation of Liberty Prime etc. It could be a prequel to the Fallout series, they could include some things from the cancelled Van Buren Fallout 3.
Just a quick contribution
I believe that an immsersive character condition bar down the right-hand side of the screen, with icons representing things such as radiation, power armor charge level (wink wink), and other things such as electrostatic interference, which could lead to an old-world facility (wink wink). It is not necessary for it to be these items, but a more realistic approach to survival in itself would be extremely rewarding. With New Vegas, I enjoyed the 'paving a new future' ideals, but tips to the old-world such as lonesome road and old-world blues just wasn't capitilised on, including the technology. I believe reviewing many mods, and moderating them, may be in order here. Also, what about a moral compass? Good and Bad is rarely so black and white. So what about you being voilent but moral? Or passive but hating and prejudiced.
Stranger Trouble (talk) 10:24, August 10, 2012 (UTC)
Stranger Trouble's ideas of where fallout 4 should take place:
_____________________________________________________
I think that 4 should take place either somewhere in Texas (close to san antonio and dallas), Alaska or the Hawaiian Islands. Texas because the place is full of history that could be given a fallout world spin on and interesting locations to apocalize, like the san antonio river walk or downtown dallas. Alaska and Hawaii because they would be major changes of scenery and would allow for more survival mechanics (body heat gauge for Alaska and for Hawaii having to travel across likely irradiated oceans to get to the other isles). I also think it would be really interesting to have the option of the main character being a ghoul because of how radiation effects them and also how they are viewed in the society of the fallout universe. If they went the Hawaii route they could just have the player be a ghoul from the start and keep the game balanced by having almost everyone one the isles be ghouls or super mutants. Alaska would give Bethesda a chance to come up with a whole new host of fallout style flora and fauna as well as area specific versions of old favorites. Anyway that's all i've got so far, looks kinda underwhelming when i look at all the other entries. :P
I don't want a Fallout like Fallout: New Vegas. It is a complete fail to try to make a Fallout with the spirit of the first ones (and yes I am a great fan of both Fallout and Wasteland). Fallout needs new horizons, I want either a Fallout like Fallout 3 with real new advanced mechanisms or a Fallout in China to see what happened in the other side (even if we had a preview of it during a quest of Point Lookout, the best Fallout quest yet for me with a fucking background). ________________________________________________________________________________________
Fallout 4 Idea's
1) Brotherhood of Steel should return as a major faction, owning several bases 2) You should be able to join the BoS and progress through ranks 3) More weapon mods, mabey a "Mini game" when modding or pay gunsmiths to do it for you 4) clothing customisation/crafting, adding bits to clothing 5) Ability to continue game after final main quest 6) If set in SF, alcatraz island could be a survivor island possibly with BoS/ wastelanders (Like metro) and you go on a quest with a team to scavinge through the ruins of SF 7) A vault like 101 and 112 with pnon-hostile people 8) like the past 2 fallout games a major war between factions, possibly missions similar to mercs 2, where a faction owns an outpost but working with a faction allows that outpost to be taken over by another faction.
Fallout 4 Idea's
1) First a sort of 'enchantment' for weapons (not mods things for bullets and sharp weapons and such. Such as finding barrels of radiation and dipping bullets and or melee weapons in it increasing damage for a time. 2)The ability to create and join factions. If created you can buy buildings that can be made into bases or outposts. Wage wars on other factions. And create your own uniforms and logos. If joined you can rise through the ranks and eventually become leader. 3)Choose what race you want to be if you are a ghoul you are immune to radiation,and feral ghouls wont attack you but you will be treated badly by humans and wont get some quest from them. If you are a mutant you strength and agility are set to a higher level but your intelligence and charisma are very low. 4)
Fallout 4 Ideas 1)Player should be able to establish his own town/faction. Will full customization features, be able to build a fort anywhere in the wastes like Wasteland Defense mod. Be able to tailor the NPCs living or guarding the area to the players preference dressing them as raiders, regular people, mercenaries, etc. With added dialouge and attitude of whatever style they are.
(1) I think it would be awesome if the player starts in a Pre war world (as a young Child) Witnessing he's/Her parents Get accepted into Vault 107 (unofficial Vault) [Reference to fallout 3, letter from vault tec] Time then skips to when you are 10 years old (at the time of the war) Nukes are going off at every single capital city in the United States. Players will Have to run with the rest of their family to reach the vault (smiler to Skyrim when escaping from the dragon) Once you have arrived at the vault players will have to make their way to the atrium for an assembly officially welcoming the residents to the vault Time will skip to the next day, vault tec - technician introduces all the children their pip-boy's
About 40 years after the vault doors sealed shut their has been an increasingly large amount of viruses going around the vault About 15 years after that, the Viruses start mutating and becoming lethal the overseer has no choice but to open the vault 55 years after originally being sealed shut (During this time the player will take the role of grandchild of the original vault dweller (customization here) before the dwellers leave the vault, all residents will watch a video instructing everyone of how to leave the vault in an orderly manor (fallout 2 video) at this time your main character is a teenager (16 year old boy/girl
Your fellow vault dwellers will become the founders of a new settlement (Player choices name)
The player then does a few errands around the settlement eg: collect spare parts from the abandoned vault, Collect water, food
Their will become a point where the overseer inevitably banishes the vault dweller (still haven't thought of how) and left the dweller to fend for himself
Their will be a point where the player will be able to reach a vault tec outpost and find out about the experiments in the vault as well as watch Live video cams from inside other vaults and witness the horror
This has been my first Edit
