Now I am certain that this has been talked about before here on GUN, but I'm a grade A noob and wanted to get some of your guys' opinions/wishes for the inevitable next installment. I started thinking about this recently after watching a video on YT (for the life of me, I can't remember who it was by) about this guy's ideal Fallout: New Orleans. I had remembered liking a lot of what this guy said about things like story, factions, and even level based areas.

For myself, and this is for whoever makes the next game, I just want it to be similar to New Vegas at least mechanically and structurally speaking while also retaining some of the features of 4. I want the open-endedness that was present in NV to return because I felt that I could do anything I wanted or be anyone I wanted. They need to lose the detailed protagonist shit they had in 4 because it put a serious damper on the greatest aspect of the series, and that's going out and making your own character, instead of having a backstory pushed down our throats. Now, I don't want to come off as a Fallout 4 basher or anything, because I actually really liked the game, but there was something about NV that made it perfect in my opinion.

Okay, I'm going to stop rambling now, so here's a quick little wishlist for the next game:
- no character backstory given to us
- weapon and armor modding from F4 (one of the best aspects of that game)
- settlement building, without a huge emphasis; basically something you CAN do but don't HAVE to do
- no more redundant radient quests ( I know this is kinda avoidable, but at least at variety)
- weapon variety is a must, because it seemed like there weren't that many weapons in F4
- pls bring back the karma and reputation system
- the old perk/leveling system from NV

alright folks, that's just a quick list I came up with and I would love to hear what your guys' wishlist is!

@"cake" ooo I like the sound of that reputation system; I haven't played Tyranny, but it looks really good, so I might pick it up when I get some cash. For the others, I would love a winter theme - or even a step further - a possible season or weather cycle where the game passes by and you can experience the changing seasons. As for the ability to see weapons and/or gear and equipment on your character would be really cool as like an aesthetic way of showing all the crazy adventures your character has had. All in all, that's a damn good list and all of that would be awesome to see in game!

Well here comes my nerd dream

-have in the world 2 Huge Areas One Being a Huge Wasteland and the Other a Ruined City
-a Dark souls Like Combat system to melee
-ability to make from a Agile as the shadows silent thief to a Doom Guy Rip n Tear kinda guy
-Make Killing Kids a Taboo like in the old days and the whole game to hate you for it
-Have Obsidian Work on it [they made a talking toaster I like toasters 10/10 whole dlc]
-Make Power Armor need training [keep the new system in thoe]
-Dual Welding [2 Fat Men would be groovy]
-A Geck that does not crash after 10 seconds

Calculation this ever happens = The Day Tumblr is not Cancer

well shi# a guy can dream at least
