- The Fallout series has covered the breadth of the former United States over the course of a 200 year period. Having gone all the way into the future with Fallout 4 and all the way into the past in Fallout 76, the questions fans wonder is where and when would the next entry be set?
Let's ponder it together! - เกม

I dont remember the exact quote but Todd Howard said that Bethesda wont touch the west coast as that was under the domain of obsidian/black isle etc. Because of this and the point about a recognisable location its pretty much certain that itll take place in a southern city like houston, new orleans, atlanta or a great lakes city like chicago or detroit. I personally hope it takes place in the great lakes region or deep south so with a dlc map in neighbouring canada, mexico or a caribean island.
I think they should do Florida with the fact that it's a swamp and god knows what kind of crazy shit mutated there also it be a pretty cool being the fact that we might be able to do more water like mission as the closest thing we got to a ocean based mission was the cut 20 leagues under the sea mission
@@ghost14224 i totally agree with Florida, the only thing is that the new GTA game will also be set in Florida. itll be released a few years before fallout 5, but i think itll still be something bethesda will have in mind seeing as gta is a huge huge franchise, but i still think florida is possible. i think having a dlc to cuba or bahamas or something would be extremely interesting since it would give bethesda complete freedom to do something completely different seeing as that society would be seperated from the usa for hundreds of years. could be a completely different accent, societal structure etc
@@jonyp4689 cuba would be very interesting. Seeing that the ussr and america were on friendly terms(soviet ambassador descendant vaultdweller in f1) and that cuba was aligned with the soviets not china itd be interesting to see howd they depict a "friendly" communist government. Of course with the current american political climate i doubt they will either portray a communist government as anything less than the antagonist (see all the controversy over atomicheart even though the soviets are still characterised as evil) with them basically ignoring the satirical anti coldwar elements of the first games. Alternatively theyd probably go with the much safer bet of like a pirate faction.
@@ghost14224 no, no swamps, we don’t need swamps…
Honestly I hope it's Jacksonville, Florida. It's such a unique city and it'd be interesting to see how Bethesda would incorporate our bank tunnel system and monorail
New Orleans would be great, lots of potential for factions and new mutated species like crocs, catfish and mosquitos
Could also add stuff like Voodoo to the formula, which could be cool.
And the strip as well would be awesome. Rad Catfish, gator claws again. Yep
You have to save/build a Mardi Gras float
I am happy with every location as long as I can join the Enclave
@@sombodythatyouusedtoknow9046 that would be fun
Oh man I went to Vegas after playing FONV. My mind was blown. The Hoover dam was the highlight! My wife sushed me constantly, ESPECIALLY when we got to the main generator hall, where that big battle erupts. The game designers and artists took EXTENSIVE notes, because everything was represented so well, right down to the tiles and décor.
I have a feeling if fallout 5 isn’t coming out anytime soon we might get a remake or remaster of new vegas as we wait for fallout 5 🤩
@@guii5041Never going to happen. Bethesda said they don't believe in remakes, and they fully own New Vegas.
The starmap being included is super cool because the reason they designers of the dam put that in is to inform the future civilization when the dam was constructed.
Did you go to Primm? That woulda been on my checklist.
@@SalesmanWave They believe in milking Skyrim because it just works.
Fallout 5 set in New York.
A Fallout set in The Big Apple has the potential to be adapted in its entirety too. They could play with the gameplay element of elevation. From the connected New York subway tunnel systems underground that form a city on its own to the concrete jungle above with many interconnected tall buildings and even skyscrapers you can explore with walkways through them.
Imagine navigating the labyrinthine depths of the New York subway system which is a subterranean metropolis in its own right, teeming with mutated denizens and forgotten secrets. Emerging from the underground, players would find themselves amidst the towering spires of a concrete jungle. In Fallout 4 (?) I believe there was a mention of that airship flying over New York, and said sky scrapers being filled with Super Mutants firing at them. So, it does exist.
The gameplay experience would be revolutionized by the introduction of elevation dynamics, allowing players to traverse through interconnected high-rises, utilizing walkways and makeshift bridges to navigate the urban sprawl. Landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, and Times Square would be cool to see in in that retro-future post-apocalypse style. Imagine a completely overgrown Central Park. Or visiting the remnants of the Statue of Liberty.
Expanding the scope further, Bethesda could explore the surrounding areas of New York City through downloadable content, offering glimpses into neighboring regions such as New Jersey, Long Island or maybe even Niagara Falls.
To truly push the boundaries, the reintroduction of vehicles could elevate the experience to new heights. It can really spice things up. Picture traversing the desolate streets and highways in a makeshift armored vehicle, reminiscent of the vehicular chaos of that underrated Mad Max game. It would be cool to drive in scavenged relics of the old world or vehicles cobbled together from salvaged parts.
Vehicles would offer both transportation and a means of engaging in vehicular combat, adding an extra dimension to the Fallout universe. The original Fallout also had a car, and the others all had Vertibirds, so why not bring cars into this as well?
I know this is too much to ask from Bethesda, but... we're allowed to dream of the post apocalyptic city OF the American dream, right?
I love this but canonically New York is kinda gone from the bombs
I could see a Fallout 5: Lone-Star or Rio Grande, set in Texas and into previously occupied Mexico, with possible expansion into Louisiana for a tour as a Nuka-gator wrangler.
Doubt it.
Sounds like an updated new vegas
If that's the case, Arkansas should also be included as dlc so we can get a smokey and the bandit reference
Nuka-gator quantum!
As someone from Texas I’d love to explore a destroyed DFW and possibly smaller towns like Stephenville.
Nothing beats tasty nuka gator blood!
I had the same experience as you did when you went to Vegas. I went to D.C. for the 70th birthday of the Seabee, which was held in the Pentagon. It gave me a really weird feeling roaming around a location I had only known in a game to that point. It was odd how similar, but different it was.
What’s a Seabee
@@brodieboivin5581 Navy Civil Engineering Battalions. The name comes from a play on the abbreviation of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion, or NMCB. CB or Seabee.
@@BU1Lander oh cool
I had a lesser version of that when my family went to Vegas and we passed by the real life Goodsprings and Primm's roller coaster. It was at a distance but I got a good look.
I think a setting in the surrounding areas of New York would be awesome. And considering most lore I've read states that NYC was pretty much completely wiped out by bombs during the war, perhaps they could make Manhattan the 'Glowing Sea' area of the new game.
that sounds like a rad idea!
No, in all honestly, this idea sounds amazing. I can totaly imagine a map that gets more dangerous the more you approach the center right of the map and get deeper into NY with Manhatten being an absolute toxic wasteland that glows like a fricking lightbulb
I would really like to know what "lore" you read about New York being "completely wiped out"? Since there is zero official lore about it and the Fallout Bible does not even touch on it.
@@zedorda1337 Looking back, i certainly misspoke when i said 'lore'. I think i meant most discussions i've read, as opposed to lore. Digging into it more, you are correct, there is no direct reference as to the state of NYC in official Fallout lore.
In any case, my point still stands. And it's not too far fetched to think New York would be one of the absolute worst hit during the war. As somebody who lives outside of America, the first city i think of when i think of the US isn't Washington DC or Vegas, it's New York.
No I'd rather not see more huge fucking rubble and yellow air, how about they take the city of New York and make it into a slightly rebuilt settlement with tons of exploration to do and NPCs to find and get quests from? That'd certainly be more interesting than fucking nothing
Yep, I thought so too
I think New York City would be a great idea to add in some more story line to how the games currency was made with caps but also exploring more in depth with how the war was started. the vast buildings, alleyways, sewers, subways and islands surrounding the city creating endless opportunities to explore and build communities to which the player can battle the creatures that live amongst these regions that have been effected by the fallout.
The first game already explained why bottle caps are used as currency.
They're a stand in for water bottles. Water which was dominated by the travelling water mechants. Who dictated that:
1 bottle cap = 1 bottle of water
Fallout 2 replaced that with Hub Bucks, actual paper currency, and devalued bottle caps. There's even a quest where you can find treasure, only for it to be 10,000 bottle caps that are now completely worthless.
In my opinion, unless if pre-established lore contradicts otherwise I think NYC would be a great choice. The only reason it might not be is if Bethesda still hasn’t gotten proper technology to allow for such a setting to exist meaningfully. We all know how well downtown Boston has big frame rate drops so NYC would probably be a challenge for their creation engine.
@@tricksonafixed I think setting games within the vicinity of the ruins of nuked cities is stupid and contradicts lore and *_common sense._*
Fallout 1 and 2 didn't make the majority of their playspaces inside the ruins. The settlements in those games are well away from the old world metropolitan areas.
Because no sane person would look at a destroyed, irradiated, and crumbling metropolis and think: "That's a good place to live!"
@@DJWeapon8 So I presumed that NYC would have been targeted by the nuclear fallout but wasn’t entirely sure since I am not super familiar with the lore in the other parts of the world outside of the games.
I am interested in that city as an option merely for the fact it has so much world space to which would be widely diverse in a way to give us a lot to explore. I’ll have to look into the lore further but honestly a major city devastated a couple hundred years after would still make for an interesting location.
The Extended fallout lore book wrote by Chris Avalone, who wrote fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas says that New York was obliterated and is just a huge crater however Bethesda did say they don't recognise all of the books lore. I believe it was incase they wanted to set games in the places he described so it is entirely possible.
I'd like to see a fallout game set in one of the middle states in the US, just to see how the center of the country is managing to survive with most likely item access to water, or isn't close to a very large body of water
There is a fallout game set in the Midwest tho
@@TDenterpriser It's not canon anymore
They just drill wells, actually not that hard.
@@MackBanjo23 says who?
@@aidanacebo9529 Bethesda said they don't consider it part of the canon unless events are referenced in later games. I still like to think that Tactics happened though.
I’m hoping for either Texas (houston or Dallas preferably) or New Orleans both have a lot of opportunities for interesting lore, factions (second republic of Texas), and settings
Any of those would be AWESOME
I agree Texas is internationally known solves that issue why not Mexico
The issue with Houston would be the lack of caves/hill/mountain areas since it's a very flat place.
@@lennyjenkins9931 I agree, if they want to spruce it up. What I could imagine would be making Houston a mix of The Pitt and Point Lookout. Geographically speaking, houston was built upon a swamp before it was drained and concrete poured over it, but you notice the swampy features when the wet periods roll in. Post Apoc-Fallout Houston could have the swampland retaking the city, flooded downtowns and the bayous extend more inland mixed with the heavy industrial zones of Houston oil refineries (Houston and her surrounding cities like Deer Park). You can the diesel-atom punk junkies fighting swamp people/creatures trying to retake the city. If they want to go crazy they can add light vehicles. They can also pull a Rivet City and have the USS Texas Survive and become a settlement
@@The_Faceless_No_Name_Stranger
Hmm true, but I feel like they have to go the extra mile to make the map more interesting considering the lack of landscape. On the bright side, Houston is chalk full of empty space full of trees. Also the freeways would be a bitch to make I imagine.
I love the idea of keeping the world in roughly the same 10-30 year but in different locations/states. That way we could realistically reference each other in a couple questions but staying the same relative level of civilization.
I think Seattle, Washington would be an excellent setting for Fallout. It has water, mountains, and bountiful nature/forest/woods.
lol same wanna see how's my home state doing
I feel like it'll be Texas. Most likely Dallas because they love to play with historical events. It's not canon but JFK was likely alive in the FO universe (due to the space race and US moon landing at the same time and Reagan and Nixon both being presidents too). It's plausable to say that the assassination happened too which could play a big part in a major storyline or quest. Texas is also next to Mexico so if they were to explore another country it'll be just a small part and that's a good way to test the waters.
Texas makes sense as a location and would be a nod to Wasteland. It may be a little too close to Fallout NV and there are mentions of it in Fallout 2. I also think the Pacific Northwest would also make sense. It would be a nod to the Postman which was the source material for the NCR.
and New Mexico , there's that white sands place and nothing else really
San Antonio
What's your problem?
Hell yeah let's go find that legendary Carano with 2x headshot damage
Hoping for a big Great Lakes map, perhaps with bits of Detroit, Cleveland, Toronto, Chicago and a rural/wild north. I can imagine Niagara Falls being a pretty cool location too. But I'm sure they'll want something a bit more exciting.
If they include Erie, who could tell the difference between a fallout and now?
That would be I cool map. I heard the next Fallout game takes place in London. I could be wrong though.
This is the one I want. I imagine it with perhaps survivors building floating settlements on Lake Erie. Maybe the surrounding mainland is infested with feral ghouls or other mutated wildlife that forced the survivors onto the water, which has mutated dangers of it's own.
@@CafPhine If I'm correct, Fallout London is a fan made total conversion for Fallout 4. The videos I've seen look pretty impressive.
I was thinking Detroit, but a Great Lakes map would be amazing. So many possibilities!
I feel like a good notable yet non intrusive to the storyline would be the Ozarks, it’s right in between everything out of the way with the sprawling hills and the dense small towns and cities littered throughout, it would open the idea even bring in mutated cougars
I think a Fallout in Alaska could possibly work quite well!
It's not the most recognizable place, but it has some cool quirks, like the fact that in some places, the sun stays up for half the year, before finally setting for the other half.
It's also far enough away from the other locations, that it could easily be set during the events of the previous games, without worrying about potentially messing with their events!
I imagine the main strugle could be more about the cold, instead of the radiation. So maybe, since Bethesda loves mutants, they could be a type that is far more adapted to the cold.
HOLLY CRAP!!! THE MUTANTS COULD BE YETIS!!
The more I think about it, the cooler an Alaskan Fallout would be!
patrolling the Mojave almost makes me wish for this to come true
anchorage felt like playing nostalgic COD Black Ops, just with snow
Alaska was mostly untouched by the war, only a few bombs dropped on port cities and other than that no rads so it would be more of a hunting/survival game.
@@LoliPolice-bf7mwthen I think for a snowy place they could do new Hampshire
I think Seattle could be a cool location, or anywhere in the far north of the US that gives the option of big city or big forest for map variety. The introduction of seasons would make it even more dynamic to see the heavy snowfall in winter vs lush spring time. Additionally, a playable character who doesn’t come from the vault would be an interesting change. Possibly a descendent of a vault dweller that you don’t find out until you’re an adult, so that you still have ties to the vaults. And hopefully something more interesting to find than a parent/child for the main story.
Won’t happen, Bethesda doesn’t want to mess around in the cannon west coast with fallout.
if you're into seattle, check out the fallout cascadia mod!
We think alike my good sir
I think Fallout: Chicago makes the most sense. Famous, big city, Midwest, seasons, it kinda hits it all. I wouldn't be surprised if they stuck east coast with Philadelphia or New York though
The homeless people would replace the raiders since they’re basically the exact same creatures, I literally live in Seattle
I’d love a game featuring two warring factions formed from the remnants of the Unity, each having different ideals for what their new path should be.
so it would be like the black mountain and jacobstown conflict but on a wider scale? that sounds interesting
There was the replikated man quest in fallout 3 that teased fallout 4, I think there's something in fallout 4 that teases the next fallout game
@@littletrilly900 I mean, that’s the most common theory around and I’m not sure what that has to do with my comment, but okay.
@@Falloutlover1011 I replied 2 the wrong komment
I would love the setting to be somewhere tropical; Florida and Hawaii are my top 2. Florida would be interesting because of its wildlife and geography. Hawaii could give us traveling by ship to the different islands 😂
There would be a lot of loading screens
As a Floridian I'd love a Fallout set here to see what it would be like. It's also a more diverse state than let on, and given the scaling of video games and Fallout 76 even, the whole state from the tropical keys to the pine forests of the north would be really cool.
@xBlueWolf I'm interested in any tropical locale because they tend such as interesting diversity of fauna. Oversized mutated crocs gators, sharks, and boas would definitely give some interesting novel experiences compared what we've had.
Imagine the mutated gators, invasive pythons, and wild pigs.
I genuinely think having Florida as very rural with lots of swamps and wildlife stretching all the way to Miami which is the bright lights and big city.
Like new Vegas but on a massive scale!
I honestly think the surrounding area of lake erie would be awesome. You have Niagara falls on the border, a massive lake for boat travel/naval battles, a many cities to make points of interest from.
I want Alaska tbh. Not only bc of the significance to the lore, but I really want a snowy evergreen environment. You can mod this in FO4, ofc, but it would be nice to see in vanilla
Only if Obsidian makes it, don't want Bugthesda touching Alaska
@@kingbrennus1580 @kingbrennus1580 Oh, come on! It would only be fun to see Alduin and/or Paarthurnax flying backwards and upside down over Anchorage, wouldnt it? Breathing in the opposite direction they are supposed to breathe therefore shooting down Chinese bombers, ICBMs, Alien flying saucers and satellites. LMAO!
Better yet they could add in Seasons so the weather changes depending on the in game clock.
@@kylevernon seasons 100% is a great feature in open world games makes it way more immersive, i used to change my mods on F4 to fit with the current seasons irl
Washington could also pull off that evergreen style of environment, you got the city down south, the mountains and forest up north, and the east side you could have barren wasteland kind of🤷♂️
I think the three locations with the most potential are;
Alaska - a big chance for exploring the direct after effects of the war, as well as any remnants of the US, Canadian, and Chinese military as they fight over control. Plus, a snow setting would be unique for fallout.
New York - a diverse landscape, lots of tie ins for the themes of capitalism and its impacts. Can have both ruined cityscapes, greener areas, and industry.
Hawaii - a good chance to explore islands with diverse landscapes, what life was like for both native people and the military presence that was there. A very naturally beautiful place that could be very fun to design with lots of radioactive influence.
We’ve been to Alaska tho, fo3 dlc.
Would Hawaii have much radioactive influence? I would imagine Pearl Harbor got hit, but what else would have been targeted?
@@seabass-nj2qb Present day Alaska, not pre-bomb Alaska. Can see the impact that the war had in that area as well.
@@markantony1980 I imagine there would be a lot of radiation in the waters too
pretty sure they can’t do new york because in canon it’s apparently a crater if i remember correctly
The fact that they did nuka world in fo4 is the only thing that makes me wonder about they not going to florida next. But an even larger theme park could be cool, and miami is definitely my favorite pick for a large city setting for fo5, maybe with cuba as dlc
i dont think they reuse the Themepark setting. As far as i am aware the DLC was not as well recieved.
But Cuba or any non US Soil as a DLC sounds nice
@@andrefasching1332the only reason it wasn't liked by the community was because fallout 4's nukaworld was a dlc created with the intent of introducing you to the nuka world raiders and setting you up to raid the commonwealth, nothing more. Making the place seem rather empty after completing the story. A base game themepark could be so much more.
@@nomaidens5734 a lot of stuff "could" be
but bethesda does a prime job at the "wont" part
@@nomaidens5734the park had lots of stuff to do and had some working rides tho?
Really want the Next Fallout to be set in Colorado. The amount of times Colorado is mentioned is insane. It legit already kind of has it own lore
Dogg City. We've explored the coasts lets explore the rocky mountains 💥💥
I agree with you, but literally everyone is just a mainstream “fAlLoUt LoUiSiAnA!” That’d just be like a glorified Point Lookout. I’d look forward more to a Fallout in Chicago so we can see the Enclave again, or a Fallout in the Western U.S., but not on the actual coast. Basically the Rocky Mountains and Great Basin area. Or even a Fallout Alaska. But hear all this Fallout Hawaii garbage
@@tarheelpro87 hopefully Godd Howard makes the right calls ✔
Fallout Hawaii?! 🤣 its so small, did it even get hit in the war? I've never heard any word of Hawaii but hopefully.. they don't do that. If they ever go back to the west coast a Hawaii DLC wouldn't be too bad.. but its own game.. ehhh
@@tarheelpro87 there was a fallout Alaska DLC in 3
@@MC_1993 but it wasn’t post war, in fact we don’t even know if what happened was entirely canon since the whole thing was a simulation that takes less than an hour to complete if you’re speedrunning. I’m talking about possibly a whole game, or maybe a DLC that actually shows us post war Alaska
Right after new Vegas in Colorado
If you ever saw the mod Fallout: Senora I think its proof that you can make a compelling and interesting world which has knock on effects without it being too weird or inconsistent.
Now that Beth and Obsid are under the same wing it would be very cool to have a main line sequel written by the New Vegas team with the exploration and the expanding gameplay that Bethesda can give.
Kreygasm
I agree, i'd prefer to see a New Vegas 2 rather than a mainline fallout game next. But tbh i'd probably give the whole thing to obsidian if they'd take on the project
@@yogaflame7884 Yeah, it'd be nice if Fallout followed a "East Coast, West Coast" structure
@@Valcuda Yeah with obsidian doing west coast and Bethesda doing east, would pretty cool
Dude do y’all not realize that the old new Vegas team doesn’t exist anymore. Obsidian is hardly even the same company as it used to be.
Honestly, this is the chance for Fallout to give unknown or lesser celebrated American cities a shine.
Heck if we still crave a New Vegas kind of feel, Albuquerque or Phoenix is a perfect example.
Dallas, San Antonio, or Houston can make for great prospects.
Phoenix needed a GECK before the bombs dropped. Unless they used SCIENCE! to figure out their water necessity the lack of national infrastructure would make it unlivable even without the threat of nuclear radiation.
St. Louis needs some representation
Fallout 4 was originally going to be set in New York, if I had to bet, I'd guess that.
Other than that, my top contenders are New Orleans, Seattle, and somewhere in Florida, I just hope they actually go a bit into the future, like the 2290s or even beyond 2300, that'd be very interesting to see
They’re not touching the west coast so no Seattle
I’d love a game with two warring cities, one thought I had would be Seattle and Vancouver fighting each other for control of the region
That’s new Vegas right haha
Seattle vs. Vancouver would go hard, and in a historical sense they would then have to talk a lot about chinese culture and indigenous cultures which would be way cooler than the simple patriotic american aesthetic and cultural ties the game's universe has
The region around Lake Ontario would be perfect for that. You'd have Rochester and Buffalo on one side, and Ronto on the other.
Old world blues mod has that for hearts of iron 4
I was also thinking Pacific Northwest would be awesome. Seattle or Vancouver would be great settings. Even somewhere further north like Anchorage could have serious potential.
Curious to see if the success/failure of the TV show will effect FO5
They're making a TV show out of Fallout? Sounds like a train wreck waiting to happen.
@@JustMe99999 Todd Howard is overseeing the production so at least it'll be canon and should make sense lore wise. None of that Halo show BS, hopefully.
@@JustMe99999 Amazon studios - the ones that gave us Rings of Power
@@junilog didn't a set photo leak showing a desolate supermarket?
@@user-gy4ym5gd2b yep and it looks exactly like FO4/76 design language
Midwestern planes would be cool, they could have in depth OPTIONAL building mechanics
I think Chicago would be a really cool place for the game. it would be cool to see what factions and creatures are around there. Its also on the coast of a very large lake that could have it own creatures and areas. I think itd be a great way to also introduce a new area and a brand new faction.
I think Detroit could be a good location for the next fallout. Snow could really build in a factor that we haven't really seen before, not to mention how diverse of a city Detroit is. Im sure there could be some crazy storylines with the water contamination in Flint or have an interaction with crossing the Canadian border. Plus i'm sure we could see some crazy mutations with coyotes, porcupines, and otters.
those giant car factories would make great locations to explore, easy fit with the lore as well, it makes sense that detroit would have big robco and vault tech facilities
I already posted this up higher but here was my idea.
Chicago and Detroit with DLC in Toronto (Ronto mentioned in The Pitt DLC for fallout 3) Montreal Wisconsin and Ohio. the Great Lakes region is full of potential. Chicago for it's historic landmarks and history of corruption, gangsters, and crime and Detroit for.... well the same thing. Except Detroit adds something else to it. The Motor City was the bastion of American industry during the early to late 20th century. When WW2 kicked off the Big 3 (GM, FORD, and Chrysler) jumped into GO mode for the war effort, almost completely stopping production of civilian vehicles and ramping up production off guns, trucks, tanks, planes and armored vehicles. More than likely Detroit was the tech capital of the U.S.A. during the "Sino-American War" and would be where production of new age weapons, vehicles, Power Armor, Robots, and maybe even synths would be located. The isolation from the coasts and the shipping lanes of the great lakes where iron ore would be transported to refinery's and turned into steel then sent to the factories to be turned into machines. Its just a really good idea with lots of potential.
Imagine irradiated wolverines, river rats, badgers, giant lamprey's, Lynx, bald eagles, otters etc and of course Death Claws. The factions and gangs such as old timey gangsters. You could have a play on Capones old group from Chicago, and the Purple Gang in Detroit. A Jimmy Hoffa like "where did he go" mystery. Different raider factions because of the old Detroit vs Chicago sports rivalries. In lore there is already a Brotherhood of Steel faction in Chicago so that opens up possibilities too. Maybe them trying to acquire tech from Detroit while gangs run the old Big 3 factories. The cars in Fallout are based on an old 1950's design concept car model that FORD produced to show what a nuclear powered car might look like.
Plus who wouldn't love to run around killing raiders and blowing shit up while listening to old school Motown music like Aretha Franklin, Smokey Robinson, The Four Tops, Marin Gaye, Martha and the Vandellas, and The Temptations. Add to that the previously mentioned DLC in places like Toronto (Ronto) which is supposedly full of raiders. Imagine being shot at by raiders saying "came to the wrong part of town eh". Or a Columbus set that had an amusement park like Cedar Point.
Detroit already is a wasteland. We don’t need a game depicting reality.
Speaking as a none American I'd love a fallout set in New York City. I know the wasteland is a big part of the aesthetic but for me the idea of exploring the twisted ruins of New York in the fallout setting would be so cool!
new york isnt just one big state with a city in it, it's got upstate new york too which is massive (takes like 8-9 hours to get from one end to NYC) that could fit in the vast wasteland part with small little settlements/towns in the middle of everything and then just have one huge broken down city to explore
I think they’re hesitant about having a blown up NYC setting in the game due to 911. Plus New York has already been done to death in other video games.
Bethesda has done their fallout in cities that have significant history to the colonial period, and that haven’t been done to death in other video games. I think Philadelphia makes sense
@@dathunderman4 Tf does 9/11 have to do with Fallout
@@dogdog2635 I never said fallout has anything to do with 9/11. I specifically it’s the image of a blown up NYC regardless of the context, a lot of people are sensitive to that. Look at the outrage to films post 9/11 that had nothing to do with 9/11, yet had images of a blown up NYC. I personally don’t care, just saying how a lot of Americans would react.
Even fallout 3. Watch the making of documentary, Todd said they received backlash during the making of it due to the image of a blown up DC, because the Pentagon was originally one of the targets in 9/11 which failed. And that’s not even a place that was actually targeted by 9/11. You’re blatantly acting dense if you don’t think there will be outrage about that. Theres a reason why fo3 didn’t have the Pentagon in the game, even being such a big landmark in DC and fitting in perfectly with Fallout’s themes.
@@dathunderman4the pentagon was in Fallout 3. It was the Citadel.
Never seen your videos but you definitely are passionate about fallout, like and subbed 💪🏽
I think Denver would be a great location for the next Fallout game! There is some interesting pre-establish lore to the region that put Denver in the middle of Legion territory. The city also has many unique landmarks. I think it would be really cool if the player first emerges from a vault underneath the Denver airport and let's not forget about the Cheyenne Mountain Complex just outside the city they could definitely do some cool with that in the next game!
I think Louisiana, Alaska, or Texas would be good settings. I would prefer a time either close to one of the previous games so we could interact with returning characters in older/younger forms.
Louisiana would be perfect!!!! New Orleans voodoo, all the swamps, dlc to Miami, dlc to Tulsa, plus all the karst topography in east Louisiana would be such cool world exploration potential.
@@TDPhinsTalkAdmin go into SWLA Lake Charles LA is in the top 10 targets, it would be interesting to see a some what small but major city.This would be a DLC
Alaska would definitely make sense bc of Anchorage! That would be so neat, new snowy covered Iceland's to cross
@@lenalongbottom80 radioactive snow
Before BGS settled on Boston for Fallout 4 they were originally going to have New York be the setting, they even went as far as making a design document for it. This design doc is most likely the one pager that Todd was talking about. Meaning that Fallout 5 will take place in New York.
One of the reasons they changed it was technical limitations. It's likely they could pull something like that off maybe next gen. (probably when it'll come out)
The thing about New York that wouldn't make sense is that Manhattan would have been completely obliterated.
@@forrrrestjohncave This is not true, there is no canon source that New York was obliterated by the nukes. This is just a fan theory that originated all the way back to the days of the Fallout bible.
@@forrrrestjohncave They retconned that. It was just greatly damaged now.
@@StoneAgeWarfare It's not a retcon. It was never a thing to begin with.
I think that it’s worth remembering that in the fall out universe Canada has been annexed as part of the United States. Which makes the thought of a setting in Detroit Windsor really cool and different.
That is a great point, although I don’t think most Americans would even understand what “Detroit-Windsor” means
That’s a fantastic idea
Ain’t that a kick in the balls that the show canonized an ending thus making all arguments irrelevant and pointless
Alright hear me out:
A Fallout game that starts pre war, and your character is a soldier assigned on a mission to infiltrate China via submarine, but the bombs drop before you get there. The rest of your submarine crew could be conflicted on whether to carry out the mission anyway, or to try to find enough fuel to make it back to the US. And i think it would be interesting to see a Fallout game set outside of America and how other parts of the world adapt to post war lifestyle
😮 That sounds amazing!!!!!!! I want that SOOOOOO bad!
Good idea but it will never happen
I actually love the idea. Don't see it ever happening in an official game, but some talented mod-makers might do something about it. After all, Fallout: Sonora turned out to be about as good as the original Fallout 1, and Fallout: Resurrection was pretty good too.
I want the first half pre war then the other half day 1 fallout government/elite style 😊
If they use the same procedural generation that they did for Starfield, Fallout 5's map could be utterly massive.
The engine has always used procedural generation for the first pass of their terrain, but I think starfield is a special case because of it's nature as a space game. I think Fallout and TES still work best when in more condensed regions with very compact content.
@@scarclaw72 Yeah that's fair but now we know that Bethesda is okay with generating on that scale.
@@scarclaw72 I'm pretty sure Starfield's planet's are the only thing that will be procedurally generated at runtime, but I'd imagine it's going to be like if we all had the same Minecraft seed. As they hinted at hiding things on those massive play spaces.
@@MrJailbreakdude The terrain in like all of Bethesda's games are procedurally generated. So the planets will most likely be the only procedurally generated things.
They need a better graphics engine
Colorado mountains would be tight. Rex is from Boulder if I remember correctly, could have Vault 40 (or whatever) there. He could definitely make an appearance depending on the time period.
Florida and Michigan make likely candidates. Specifically, Orlando, FL and Detroit, MI. Orlando could have DLC opportunities in Tampa, Miami, and the Keys. I think the biodiversity of floridian wildlife would make for some interesting design elements. Detroit could have DLC opportunities in the UP, Chicago, and possibly London/Toronto for the first venture outside of the realworld US. Since Canada was "annexed," it would be, technically, a US territory. It would also be a prime opportunity for canadian-american lore.
I think Hawaii would be awesome. It would have a very ruined landscape because of military bases in Honolulu, but I think nature would somewhat reclaim the islands, making a toxic jungle type thing.
I like it.
Bethesda would likely ruin it a little by trying to shoehorn in the BOS and super mutants into the region
issue being, Hawaii would be pretty small to work with as a Fallout map, it would probably feel more like Farharbor size.
@@klayman2 it might interest you to know that the "Big Island" of Hawaii is approximately 45 times larger than Boston, and that the entirety of the Hawaiian Islands is slightly larger than the state of Massachusetts
There's a lot of potential to tackle colonial themes if they did it in Hawaii. I'm worried they'd bungle them though.
Next Bethesda story line is a cousin sets out of a vault to find his auntie. I'm locking It in now
lol or granny goes finding her granny XD Man those relative-seeking storylines are massive bore!
@@korpienmahtijullit7508 especially when their is so many other routes. Bethesda is to obsessed with you being a vault dweller. But ay they could even do you as part of a raider tribe occupying a vault or have you go to one early in the game if they think they are so important. But I think being part of a group of tribesmen or raiders in yellowstone Montana would be awesome. We could go to Canada or Alaska and we could have completed different wildlife
Bro.........
I hope they keep the settlement building aspect. Loved that about fallout 4
I would love to see a cold territory fallout like somewhere around the great lake’s or canada i don’t think we have ever seen a snow map in fallout so it would be definably cool
They'll never be a fallout set outside America except for maybe a dlc
And for a cold area they could do new Hampshire
New Orleans, or Houston(my hometown) would be really cool. Can have a varied environment, since East Texas is very woodsy/swampy. Add some desert and snow up north a bit. Very multicultural as well, could help with factions.
If the Fallout TV series goes well, we might see another Fallout game sooner
Nah I think it’s something just to hold over. Same thing with TLOU.
I’ll add, we are INCREDIBLY lucky for those shows. Not just for holding us over, but these are actually good adaptations of good games. You don’t see that very often. Personally TLOU and the Fallout series are my fav games ever and seeing them be made into shows is such a good feeling.
I remember reading a now long-deleted Reddit post that chronicled a Hawaii-based game where you're the descendant of a Chinese soldier who'd been stationed long past. I was so excited, but I'm not quite sure if that's a plausible game anyway.
Having something set in the southern part of Texas opens up so many opportunities to expand on. You have the obvious cliche cowboy trope that can be played into like NV.
The plains environments to the north/west can have a similar New Vegas and red dead environmental scene. (This can lead to opportunities such as mounts to fit the cowboy theme or setting up your own caravan business. Riding a Brahmin, Buffalo, Texas longhorn Brahmin, mutated horses, death claws or any other random wasteland stead sounds pretty badass to me).
You can have the legion or Mr. Houses robot army encroaching in from the northwest to act as a memorable side faction (maybe importing NV info could determine between the two or what’s happening, depending on who you sided with determines who is seen more).
The mentioning of any other possible enclave remnants present in the south seeking to keep a hold on any off shore oil rigs in the gulf or advanced technology present in this worlds version of NASA the “USSA”.
This area also has so much opportunity for dlcs, one similar to mothership zeta, “Houston we have take off”, could take you to space. Maybe you fix a prototype ship that’s preloaded with coordinates to a lunar base either occupied by offspring of top dog enclave personnel that thought the moon was more viable than vaults. Or it could be occupied by the zetans as a forward observation base for earth. Both brief ideas can be takin in so many different directions.
You also have opportunity to build into sections to the east to Louisiana or south to Mexico either through open exploration and storyline progression or later DLC (both regions are within a few hours of Houston IRL just cut out most of the excess highway time and it’ll seem to mesh decently if done well)
Poorly articulated and random points aside, I think there’s a pretty large area with lots of different character and history that can be played into if they were to head in that direction.
I would love to see St Louis somehow incorporated into Fallout 5, be it DLC or main game. Seeing the Arch, the Mississippi River, things like Cahokia Mounds (Native American monument nearby), Busch Stadium, etc would be super cool, but I'm not sure STL is big enough market-wise for them to wanna do that.
There's a lot of super mutants in Ballwin
boots up fallout 5. "wait... its the same?"
I feel like a Fallout Florida with Miami as the central location could be interesting. Miami culture in the setting of the fallout world wasteland with an area of the Everglades biome and also an area like Orlando on the map. Could have the Miami strip be a built up area with the people there trying to bring back some of the pre war Miami vibe. The everglades would be hell with all the mutated alligators and something like a Swampers faction. Orlando could have a partially functioning Disney World or Universal Studios similar to how Nuka World was in FO4 or how New Vegas was; some of the functionality remaining which provides a little bit of an economy for whoever is there running it. No idea what the story would or could be though and how it may tie into the larger fallout world. Perhaps they could introduce a new larger faction that could be a player in future fallout titles; another faction as major as the Brotherhood, Enclave, NCR, or the Legion. I don't mean another Minutemen type faction either, that is too small. I mean a large major established faction similar to NCR who are the defacto government for the region, perhaps all of the southeastern US. I would also like another fallout where the player character does not come from a vault.
Agreed
I have long thought that Florida would make an excellent location for a Fallout game. Miami, Cape Canaveral, Disney World, Sasquatch and so many more possibilities to build on. Plus Cuba and the backwoods of Georgia for DLCs.
@yaboiii Hey,can you tell me what music did you use at the beginning of this video at 0:54 ?
New York could be a cool location. It has recognizable spots like the statue of liberty and central park, and if you go out of the city a bit you can find more rural areas. Could interact with the lore of Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, and it would likely be a similar feeling location as parts of the pitt. Theres also just a ton of historical spots there. Tons of statues and whatnot
Another one I'd really like would be New Orleans. Whole lot of super recognizably styled buildings, cool settings and voodoo, and swamps which is a Bethesda favorite
I think New Orleans would be an excellent option. It's pretty far from previously explored areas and has pretty of history and culture to explore.
I think a New York location seeks inevitable, but I don't think it'll work out too well, unless they let you get off of Manhattan.
Personally I'd love to see them branch out and explore the wider world.
I think Hong Kong (particularly of the Fallout British retained control until the start of the Sino-American War) would offer a very unique palette of landscapes and cultures for world building.
Similarly, I think Berlin with its East West divide would make for a very interesting locale.
Shanghai, Paris and Rome would be very recognizable with plenty of meat locales, but I don't see them as being as central to the pre-war meta-plot.
I think chicago would be a great option. Naval/ military presence up north of chicago. You could introduce some aquatic naval B.O.S Lore. There is the gangs and violence of the few parts of chicago and then you have chicago it self. With many parts of chicago that are heavily black, heavily Latin and then downtown. You got many many options to create long and good lore to keep in layers interesting
I want atlanta ga personally
We have enough about the BOS lmao they're in every damn game. Time for some fresh ideas
Tribal chicago with different lingo for the different gangs. Nuka world but less cringe.
Fallout 3 mentioned that the B.O.S. Has been in Chicago
Fallout New Orleans could be sweet
I could see Houston or Dallas Texas being a great concept for an area, it's far enough away from both the east and the west coast and they are both areas A lot of people outside of the US have heard of
I kind of like San Antonio, the Riverwalk and Alamo would make a great setting for it.
Everytime I think about what a future fallout my mind always go to Chicago because both East and West Coasts have super developed stories and you can do a soft launch in the mid west with themes of winters or winds. But in reality the most likely next location has to be Houston Texas, the theme of Space is common in almost all fallout games but the only time we do something its either raiding old equipment or aliens. In Houston Texas you have NASA in which is a ideal location for multiple factions to fight over like BOS but in a location where ceaser's legion or maybe new faction can also fight for space travel. Houston is big enough in its expansive highways to have lonesome road vibes and maybe introduce for flight based themes with vertibirds or have oiled based creatures.
If you mean flight based enemies fo76 has them. But mutated vultures or something would be cool
I don't know about you but I want Fallout Australia.
Mutant kangaroos and drop bears. Nuff sead.
Australia basically IS Fallout anyway.
Ignoring fallout as a whole we need another post apocalyptic Australia setting other than mad max as that franchise really pigeon holed themselves into one niech and it cant explore much of Australian possibilities. Like Australia would be a great setting for a climate based apocalyptic setting seeing we have an over saturation of zombie and nuclear apocalypses.
@@TheMelancholicWriter that'd be SO BORING. it'd basically be a less dangerous version of modern day Australia.
Australia already has its own post apocalypse franchise mad max
Deathkoalas! I need this!
It’s going to be nyc. It was the original planned location of fallout 4 and Bethesda stated that they are planning to use the location for a future fallout game
There’s places mentioned in Fallout 3 that exist that could be the setting of Fallout 5 such as Toronto or a place south of DC called the “Crater Banks”
Would not be surprised if the game's map covers a large section of the country this time around like several state sizes, if they introduce some form of transportation then this would work well with a larger region
The location has to either be in the South, the Pacific Northwest, or the Great Lakes (or Canada but probably not). I think somewhere like Seattle has enough recognition to make it good location
Same. Oregon or Washington would be great locations, plus they would also have their own native factions. Not to mention all the mycelia, national parks, the coast range, the mountains, the rivers, the cryptids, etc. There could be a dlc in Hawaii. So many options to explore.
I lot of people including me want to see Fallout 5 take place in Texas, not just because we are Texan lol but because the Texas faction of the Brotherhood of Steel. On top of this I think going midland for the next title could open up more possibilities for everything since a lot of the land is untouched by previous lore.
Midland and Odessa? Oh hell no lol funny if they do Austin. Badass if they do San Antonio or Houston
@@XxSeVenmaRkxXif it's in Texas it'll probably be San Antonio. something centered on the Alamo probably. that'd be pretty sick tho. the minutemen holding the Alamo or something
@@MatterBaby68Why would the Minutemen be in Texas? Texas wasn't apart of the revolutionary war, and the reason they dress like that is because they're situated in Boston, where the revolutionary war was actually present.
@@braeden816 something like it. you knew what I meant. fucking settlement in the Alamo called the last stand or something or the final mission. everyone wears raccoon skin hats
Whenever and wherever the fallout game takes place, all I want is for Bethesda to have a prologue or a sequence where you can explore a large area of pre bomb fallout with a couple hours worth of content. I absolutely love the aesthetics.
Imagine something much like fallout 4 with their starting area, but on a larger scale. You explore a whole busy town with people, cars, robots, see all the Vault Tec and Nuka Cola advertisements. Then when you come back to that area later on in the playthrough years after the nukes have dropped you go "oh my god the pretty place is absolutely demolished".
It hits 10x harder when you see the before and after.
Florida is hands down the most interesting region left. They got Miami, disney world, swampland, space travel, Nascar, Margaritaville, Key West. Montana, Hawaii and Alaska would also be interesting.
I could see the next Fallout being set in South Dakota. You've got Rushmore, the Black Hills forest, Wind Cave, the Crazy Horse Memorial, the Missouri River cutting the state right in half, and Pierre city lying right in the center of it all. It's got great geography and a lot of American and Native American history, and the world's biggest survival bunker complex for Vault Tec to play with, that altogether makes for an interesting apocalypse playground and narrative in my opinion.
They would need to get Indigenous people on the team to do us justice then bc we're not just a video game plot lmao
That being said, I would love a fallout on SD. Maybe I'm biased as a Lakota Native but it wpuld be amazing to have a game set in my ancestral lands. They could even add a thriving settlement of Lakota people living the way our ancestors did but with a modern twist! It would be amazing representation for Indigenous fans of the games!
@@dancingbirdIt could be DLC to visit there Reservation’s all over South Dakota.
I thought the same thing; I live on one of the reservation and I’m Sicangu Lakota.
That'd be cool if there was still reservations still relatively unharmed by the nukes (cause let's be honest, they ain't targeting the reserves)
Considering the mod project fallout Miami, I would guess they're going to go to Chicago because it's far enough away from the east coast and west coast. It's a massive city with an extremely diverse surrounding area. You'll have downtown Chicago, the wealthy shores of the Gold Coast and St. Joseph along Lake Michigan, and rural Southwest and North Central Indiana to explore
Not to mention the possible BoS intrigue options. I'd be interested to see what other factions might want to hold the area/ are challenging The Brotherhood. It might be a neat idea to include The Enclave considering they may have outposts out that way. Seeing an updated/ earlier version of their beliefs (depending on when game 5 is set) in contrast to eachother would be great for new players to witness. It may even lend new replayability to Fo3 and New Vegas.
@fudgepacker New York would be hard considering how dense it is
As someone who was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest it would be really cool to see them do a Fallout game up here in Portland or Seattle. Interplay considered doing a game called Fallout Extremes which would be set out here (at least in the beginning).
I think my hometown of St. Louis would be a good area to cover, would provide a nice mix of terrain if the state of missouri was sort of condensed into a playable map. That way players would get a taste of empty farmfields (potentially great for building huge custom settlements with that camp system thing from 76?), the Ozarks region, lots of rivers, and Saint Louis metro area as well. A great couple of DLCs could be travelling via rivers to towns like Minneapolis, Memphis, Kansas City, and New Orleans. If they want to make a HUGE single title to encompass all of these, this would be the way to do it. Basically cover the whole Midwest outside of Chicago and a couple other unimportant cities. Wouldn't be extremely labor intensive for the dev team as a giant city like Chicago would be, a far smaller portion of the buildings would need to be explorable to do the area's lore justice (probably about the same as fo4) whereas a city like Chicago or New York would require tons of scrutiny as every other building there is memorable in one way or another.
That brings me to my other point... If the game is being delayed that long, I am quite confident that it will take place in either Chicago OR New York City, most likely the latter. Any other city that is actually memorable to non US residents would be far easier to design, lots of interior design/ non copy paste-able design is probably going on. Florida... just isn't it, imho. It would be fine. At best. Nothing to really offer other than beaches and gators and maybe a more tropical feel... Maybe a fishing boating element to the game?
It's not being delayed really it's just being put on the backburner for elder scrolls since the past 8 years have been just fallout
I don’t know how likely it is, but it’d be really cool for a whole game based in The Pit. Only The Pit is a small section of the map, and you could venture out into a less toxic area. Kinda like the difference in the capital wasteland and DC itself.
Or even a state further north and get into Canada a bit, because in the lore the US annexes Canada.
I think in terms of making it recognizable, far enough away to not directly affect other game's canon, and offering a ton of content, Texas would be the best option, either around Dallas-Fort Worth or Houston. There's a lot of historical content they could integrate. The opportunity to integrate a Wild West vibe is right there, and new creatures like mutated longhorn cattle (something different from just your typical Brahmin), snakes, lizards, etc. could be introduced. There would also be opportunities for DLC content that can go anywhere from San Antonio to New Orleans, and even into Mexico, which would all be able to provide other types of unique creatures and factions. Imagine like a New Orleans DLC that introduces voodoo cultists and monster alligators.
Absolutely agree! Would love to see the next Fallout be in Texas. Also the idea of venturing into Mexico is really cool.
Agreed! The 'Old World Blues' mod for HOI4 features a fallout version of Texas which is really interesting, a real fallout game in that setting could be awesome.
Fallout: Big Easy would be a pretty sweet game honestly. You could throw in all kinds of nasty stuff coming outta the bayou like giant bulletproof snapping turtles, mutated shrimp, anacondas the size of trucks. All kinds of possibilities. Could include some of the surrounding area too so like Fort Polk and the bayou itself. Imagine being able to putt around the swamps on a makeshift airboat that you could customize and upgrade.
Toronto would be a good option. Being able to explore annexed Canada fighting ghoul moose would be so cool
Nebraska- low key would be awesome. It has key locations without being overwhelming. Henry Doorley Zoo (largest enclosed rainforest), Offutt AB- the place where our nuclear bombers take off from/also holds back up to president's air force one, College World Series site... it's doable.
I think Dallas TX would be a good location and could be tied in with the NCR and New Vegas. Maybe relations between the Desert Rangers and NCR soured and they are involved in conflict and then your character gets caught up in the mix
NCR wouldnt be in Texas though, Legion controls the land west of Texas
Best outcome: Combine Obsedion writing team with Bethesda Open World
Worst outcome: Fallout Nuts and Bolts
Best outcome: "Fallout 3+NV combo map remaster."
Worst outcome: "Fallout Brotherhood of 76."
Contraptions 2.
My main concern is that if they keep going into the farther future…it’s personally hard to believe that society wouldn’t attempt to rebuild itself beyond throwing up a couple wood shacks and leaving junk in the floors…I liked that Fallout 2 had “points” where civilization was returning and it had developed in its own unique post-war way
I think Detroit would be a great spot for a fallout game. You have Detroit and Windsor, 2 big cities in the US and Canada separated by a river. You can have factions on either side of the river in a fight for control of the area. Lots of great lore about the area, considering we know it was a haven for industry as well. And the metro area of Detroit is filled with spots that could create a huge amount of interesting locations, factions and more. Detroit would be a really awesome location
My idea is Fallout St. Louis it could be about trade that comes through. The flow between the west coast and east coast. With the gateway Arch its a land mark many know about. And I think that it could potentially be a great story. So Bethesda if you're listening I want my cut if you make this lol
St. Louis is a criminally underrated location for a fallout game, it boarder state to Illinois and has a ton of old industrial facilities that would be awesome to restarted in the wasteland as a super power city state send merchandise to both the east and west.
Nigga no
A Fallout set in Texas, Canada or Florida would be nice
Seattle or Vancouver would make a killer location imo, with the possibility to tie in NCR and the og western bos (tho hopefully it would be at least slightly better than that one mod)
Fallout in texas is a thing already, the Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel game is set in texas, it's cancelled sequel would also take place in the state.
Now I am aware they're not the most popular of fallout material, but just fyi.
@@poleslaw4916 The cancelled "Fallout Exreme" game would have taken place in the areas from MT Saint Helens to Alaska. Also partly in Asia.
I have a lot of hangups with Fallout 4 for oh so many reasons, but for once how the engine performed wasn't one of them.
Something I really loved about Boston was the verticality, I'd love to see Fallout New York for the sheer fact it would offer much more of that.
That recognisable place bit is definitely important, after all these years i still dont know what boston is
I remember how my heart dropped when the first fallout 4 trailer released and was super excited to play... watching this video makes me want to play it all over again. edit: I hope they add the south on the next entry like Texas and it's surrounding neighbors.
I feel like the desert was so plain and boring in New Vegas. I feel like anyplace that’s dry and arid would have the same issue.
@@Googlywinker Texas is mostly not desert
A thing I've recommended once or twice to friends is a Fallout game not set in a particular state, but rather a "Road-Trip" style of thing. Basically, start in something like Minneapolis with everything being horrible, and the MC sets out to try and get to somewhere like Austin or something. It lets them cover a relatively "uninteresting" (not trying to be mean lol) part of the US by visiting the big cities, scavenging for food/supplies and helping/harming a few people, before leaving with your caravan once more.
I am old enough player of Fallout series to be able to tell that something resembling road trip style, (though inside a particular area) indeed was a thing before Fallout 3. In other words, once you had left a certain location, chances were high that you never saw it again during the same playthrough. In Fallout 1 and 2, you did not return home all that often before the game was over. Never had any moral, legal, practical or social repercussions for murdering a merchant in The Den who employed a bunch of pickpocketing children and taking my stolen stuff back from him. Nobody in any of the next towns attempted to arrest me, tried to avenge their loved one they cared about or even subjected me to any dirty glances. (Well, that is post apocalyptic world for you). Killing a merchant in Fallout 3 or especially Fallout 4 would be an ill advised move due to loss of business opportunities but before Fallout 3, you just never saw that merchant again once you left town.
Wasteland 2 is like this.
So the Last of Us but in a nuclear wasteland? That's cool
Fallout Extreme about to make a comeback???
So just Metro Exodus, got it.
8:40 As someone watching from South Dakota, We should definitely have it here
Love the ability to backtrack on multiplayer and adapt back to single player based off player consensus for the most part
Make Fallout 5 in Hawaii. It is far apart from the mainland, so it would not be affected by events from previous games. It is also super catchy for marketing, instantly recognizable. It would also be neat to undestand what happened to the Pacific after the war. Maybe some travelling between islands...
What makes you say that it wouldn't be affected? Fallout 1 was based in California, and the BoS have Vertibirds to fly, and other characters have used boats to cover traveling the waters.
Less affected though, yes. It would make for some awesome wildlife...
Honestly rather see it used as DLC
The next game could take place in eastern Texas from Dallas to the gulf maybe with Louisiana bonus content. Imagine the Mirelurk variations and/or fighting an irradiated Alligator monster. Not to mention snakes and small mammals that may not be so small anymore from the FEV.
I would love for them to deal with other weather perspectives - snow or hurricanes. How did these areas fare?
I would have a hard time putting it in New Orleans, or at least avoid hurricanes. That was a disaster that still affect people today.
But I would still think it would be a good area for swamps, and southern animals and foliage.
Others - Chicago, Seattle, Denver, or Anchorage.
That was actually are GREAT intro, for real
Always loved the idea of Philadelphia, lots of US history to tap into, a site of one of the nuclear strikes mentioned in FO4, tackles an area untouched on the East coast leaving the southern east coast for DLC/future games
Agreed
Doing Philly before NYC would be dumb. NYC is better in every way
@@ByeByeLegacyCryHardernahhh mate philly would be better
@@ByeByeLegacyCryHarder Philly is as close to NYC as any other city on the east coast plus it’s not as big so the map size would be amazing for performance. You still get hella urban areas, sky rises, subways systems and that Major city feel for it. Plus you can have the DLCs set in Baltimore, part of New York or we can revisit Maryland (point lookout or Capital wasteland) due to its close proximity to other cities. It’s fresh, it has a lot of potential. Rich in culture. Big Mafia scene, big sports town, big industrial city, huge diverse population, it’s a fighting city. a lot of history and historic landmarks, good geography, military bases all around(good for the BOS or Enclave) it wasn’t bombed to shit like NYC in cannon lore and I just feel like it has a lot of potential man. “Liberty Wastes” got a ring to it or maybe just “Philly” it could really peace together a lot of lore especially with how the east coast BOS established routes to the Pitt and Boston from DC. I wouldn’t be so quick to bash it for a possible location (even tho we all know it probably won’t happen) it’s nice to just throw ideas out there. Philly is the 2nd biggest city on the East coast and the 5th Largest in the US. It’s not a fruitless location by any means.
Plenty of chems lying around there no doubt ;)
I think the more important thing to consider, is what excuse Bethesda is going use to put super mutants and the Brotherhood in Fallout 5
I hope they don't. Supermutants are whatever but I hope the brotherhood aren't in it. If they are they should be a very minor faction like they were in New Vegas.
@@MackBanjo23 the brotherhood was always a minor faction, they are overused only in bethesda games
@@Santi-vr6rm Yeah I know. In Fallout 1 they were semi main faction but in Fallout 2 they weren't very important at all.
Here a good question. What could replace the super mutant?
@@donovanfox7752 any other powerful faction, like the enclave or caesars legion
I still can't believe my favorite game series had a huge DLC set in my obscure home state of Maine. I can vouch for the fact that it is fairly geographically accurate. Although, Ironically, Far Harbor is the only DLC in the entire series that I never finished.
I am really hoping for a (spin-off) game that shows what happens in the Fallout universe in europa, or another continent. Maybe show the other side of the great war and have us visit China. The fan project fallout: Londen looks amazing, maybe Bethesda can support the project and make a fallout: berlin and other locations. This would be an awesome spin-off series.
i'm from detroit, so i hope it takes place there. so much potential with motown music and the car industry, it could be cool to see how the team expands the city into their imagination. also, i REALLY want to see Chicago bc ED-E was originally supposed to be sent there for and from the enclave. ( i haven't fixed ED-E all the way so please no spoilers ) like what happened there? are there elements of the enclave in Chicago? how are the great lakes in all of this talk? so many questions with so much potential...
Jojo pfp
Nope
You already live in the fallout universe
I can definitely see Detroit being a great DLC location
@@k.i.c6463 trying my best
Fallout 3 hinted at Boston through the synth mission, and I think it is very plausible that we should look into some minor, but significant, detail in fallout 4 when guessing at fallout 5. Maybe San Francisco to draw on Kelloq's backstory.
Also, they have been nursing this whole lovecraftian arc of dunwic borers for several games now, so expect more of that as well.
A solution is that you can make a prequel where the good guys lose catastrophically and a large section of the country basically becomes a black hole where nobody lives and everything is completely devastated. So you can have a story ending that takes place in the past, has little impact on the lore of other games, but still gives you some creative liberties.
The halo reach of fallout games.
Something worth mentioning about Vegas and how it handles the whole “well if it’s been that long why isn’t there a society” problem is well there is honestly fallout new Vegas in a lot of ways feels like an actual society, there’s countries, governments, factions galore it’s still technically apocalyptic in regards to some aspects of the setting sure but it feels realistic in regards to the fact that the world feels lived in I mean shit they have supply lines and mines n shit it’s insane
