Basically they should make it like Fallout 3 but with a few improvements. I liked Fallout 3 for it had a dark environment making it feel like you needed the weapon which in the previous games you would've said, "That gun is horrible! Leave it behind, I got plenty of ammo and skill!" The whole vehicle idea would be quite nice but complicated in ways since the whole city would be falling apart. But if they had a huge wasteland area like they did in Fallout 3 then it might work. Also the gunplay should be more exciting, in Fallout: New Vegas they had iron sights or some sort of scope for all weapons making it feel home to those first-person shooters. Also I want the game to be tested so that we don't have the same problem like we did when New Vegas first came out...glitches. They were not in every battle but became quite often in some scenarios. So the game should be tested several times before it is released. I want the story to be interesting and exciting. New Vegas has a story which really didn't interest me, I would rather do the fun side missions that fill the game. Also the story shouldn't be about a war that rages on, there should be a war but it shouldn't be intertwined with the main storyline which Skyrim did an example but yet sometimes the war was intertwined with the Dragonborn's destiny. I want a few more enemies than the average Super Mutants in the city as well, and if the map was a bit smaller than Skyrim...that would be all I need.

RECAP:
- Good Story
- Fun Gunplay
- Interesting Story
- Vehicle?
- More enemies
- World that is around the size of Skyrim

I know that making these games aren't simple or easy in anyways, but nobody is rushing Bethesda Software...well I'm not. For if they take their time to make this game, it can be just like Skyrim but post-apocalyptic!

Both FO3 and New Vegas are considerably bigger than Skyrim. Oblivion is bigger than NV though.

From beth's forums:

Skyrim Tamriel Worldspace: 3808 x 3008 [ 119 x 94 TES4 size cells ] = 6.9km x 5.4km = 37.6 sq km = 14.5 sq miles
Oblivion Cyrodiil Worldspace: 4288 x 4128 [ 134 x 129 TES4 size cells ] = 7.7km x 7.4km = 57 sq km = 22 sq miles
Morrowind Vvardenfell World: 2688 x 2816 [ 84 x 88 TES4 size cells ] = 4.8km x 5km = 24 sq km = 9.3 sq miles
Fallout3 Wasteland Worldspace: 6304x6400 [ 197 x 200 TES4 size cells ] = 11.3km x 11.5km = 130 sq km = 50 sq miles
Fallout3 New Vegas WastelandNV: 4096x4128 [ 128 x 129 TES4 size cells ] = 7.3km x 7.4km = 54 sq km = 21 sq miles

Large play area full of locations.
Skyrim is fine by me, but a bit larger if there are large areas of desolation. And there should be.

Vehicles. I'd like vehicles.
But then the world should be even larger, but could have more open range.

Iron sights.
Like NV. FO3 was annoying to play after having been exposed to NV.

Raiders. Bandits. Other human opponents.
Robots and zombies are not satisfying to kill. And no cazadores.

No reboot. New location.
London would be cool. Ruined Big Ben. Right after the war. Reboot.

I'm not so sure about vehicles, since the car worked for FO2 because it was a large map with a few points of interest, in FO3 and NV exploration is more rewarding in terms of finding places, enemies, loot and quests. A vehicle would make you skip all that content.

Yeah, I'm not sure either but I'd like to see it done anyway.
And yeah, scouting new areas is one thing where FO3 was way better than Fo1 or 2.

What I have in mind is large areas of wasteland with points of interest here and there.

You'd see a village up ahead.

You'd hide your motorcycle, wait for darkness and scout on foot.
Because just driving in would be suicidal if there's a raider or mutant presence.

Except if you're on a brotherhood humvee with a roof gunner with a gatling laser,
which would also be a fun change of pace. Even then, back out in a hurry if you spot
supermutants with shoulder rockets.

Speaking about NV, I'm like to have more that two companions, in first Fallout we have four, and in Fallout 2 variable number of then depending on your charm, but the only one humanoid and one robotic of NW is ridiculous.

I would like it to be a true crpg. Singleplayer only. PC exclusive. Tactical TB combat. Lot's of blah blah. Meaningful AND difficult choices. Not openworld. Ron Perlman of course. OK dream on, I think I'll just play the first two.. :-)

Regarding Fallout 3, I really liked it as a shooter kind of thing, immersed me in a *beautiful* world, really enjoyed the music, loved the crazy ThreeDog. Also enjoyed the dlc's (got the GOTY edition). The whole game looked like Fallout, but it wasn't Fallout. Nevermind...

(Never played New Vegas.)

New Vegas is actually pretty much like FO2 with a 3d engine. Many characters and factions return from the older games (in fact you see Marcus, remnants of the Enclave, the NCR, etc.) The DLCs have a lot to do with the main game's story, unlike FO3 dlcs.

And you'll have meaning and difficult choices in NV. You should play it! :)

What?!?!? Never cared about NV because I thought it was more of the same. Also, from the previous posts I saw a lot of people prefer NV to F3 but I never thought it is *that* good.. You made my day sir, thank you very much! Looking forward to play it! :-D

I'd say 1/3 of the base game is based on Van Buren. The rest was added by Obsidian. But yeah, it's more of a Fallout experience than FO3 :)

That it's not tied to steam and is available from here. ;-p

Currently playing through Fallout: New Vegas, and I'd like to see an expansion of that game. But set in a different location. Maybe the Great Lakes region or New England. Although part of me would love Fallout: Manhatten (might work it it were placed directly after the war), I don't think it would be as engaging as something with a bit more open space.

No aliens! The weapons in Mothership Zeta were far overpowered and you could cart back enough ammo and spares to make the rest of the game a cakewalk. Not certain how I feel about vehicles, but maybe horses or other domestic mounts would work. Change up the critters - can't expect radscorpions in the cooler climates. I could see mutated spiders though. Make the enemies make sense for the region, for sure.

Iron sights and scopes are a must, as would be weapon mods. Maybe grant the ability to craft your own mods. Definitely more weapon plans, and I love the survival skill for making food. I haven't played much with Hardcore mode yet, but something optional that makes the game more "realistic" would be pretty nice.

A story that doesn't necessarily make you the "savior" from the beginning. I use a mod for Skyrim called Skyrim Unbound which allows you to start the game anywhere with any type of character. Make that the default opening in FO4. Start the game from your choice of towns and allow for a less directed opening. Stumble across the "main" quest at any time.

Keep Obsidian as the developers. FO:NV is a much better game than FO3. =)

I want Fallout 4 to take place in either Hawaii or Alaska. Both would have a lot of potential. There could be remnants of a foreign invasion force (Chinese for Hawaii, Russian for Alaska).

I'm not sure if it's official, but it's been fairly well established that FO4 will take place in the Commonwealth (i.e. New England).

Oh and btw, thanks Klumpen0815, that is AWESOME.

I finally ventured into modded gameplay and it is a million times better even if it did take me forever to figure out (youtube was crucial).

Yeah, I want FO4 to be like Fallout Wanderer's Edition, which won't happen, but I imagine it will be modded eventually.

I've been playing lots of STALKER lately so it got me thinking Fallout too. Most of what I want, but most likely won't get:
1.No Steam/DRM.
2.I'd like it to be like Fallout 2 in location, but that probably won't happen. At least the atmosphere then.
3.I would like isometric gameplay and an engine reminiscent of Fallout Tactics, or at least something that doesn't resemble an Elder Scrolls game, all of which I think look bad.
4.While I'm dreaming, how's about a promo bundle of Fallout 3 and New Vegas on here.
