I really want to see Fallout 4 to take place in California. I want to revisit Necropolis, Boneyard, Mariposa, The Hub, New Reno and Vault City again with the new engine. I want to see how the NCR has improved over the years.

Out of all the places in the Fallout history, California is the best place for a new game to take place in (at least in my opinion, that is ). States Like New York and Texas would be cool too.

Definitely New York if executed properly. Just imagine the possibilities! Streets filled with ghouls along with 50-story buildings falling apart. Argh, I for one would love it.

I would LOVE to see the commonwealth personally.

I mean, we're talking a place that houses the Institute. If they could create an android like Harkness, I could only imagine what other sorts of tech they could come up with. Possibly even things that could put the stuff we saw at Big MT to shame.

I agree with Dragunslayer the commonwealth would be a fitting place for Fallout 4. Hey you never know, we might even see Doctor Li again... or maybe not since she's probably a Cazadors feast by now XD

I would like fallout 4 to take place in a big city, like New York, but they should make more interior cells, Fallout 3 had a lot of buildings but could only get inside so few of them. I also think they should make it in the US, but at least metion what happened to the rest of the world.

I'm going to go with NYC (or any major US city, really) which so many here are touting. A change to a highly urbanized environment for once would be refreshing and...think about it, the possibilities with multistoried buildings everywhere!

That or a different country altogether even though it doesn't seem very likely to happen. If I had to pick a foreign country I'd say Russia probably, because dem Russian military hardware!

Sound a little bit mad, but I would prefer Canada. The US annexation of Canda was mentioned in the Fallout series. Could be interesting. I hope also they telling more about China. Nobody knows, whether
the Chinese took so much damage like the Americans

Call me crazy, but I'd ask for Canada.

Now hear me out guys. Bethesda's main engine for Fallout up til now has been the Gamebryo right? Skyrim, their newest game, uses the upgraded Creation engine; same system, much nicer.

Now we've seen firsthand this system works GREAT in a winter/northern setting.

We also know that in fallout history, the US annexed Canada to counter China attacking via the north around the Bering Strait.

So Canada would have plenty of involvement in the war, you'd have access to US and Chinese weapons, with WAY more justification than in freakin DC, and you'd have the Skyrim engine doing what it does best, Nuclear Winter. You'd also have a cool chance to see US propoganda in a foreign country; while pro-US stuff is a given in the states, they'd have to CONVINCE the Canadian people, so you'd see a slew of US and Chinese rhetoric and the Pre-War ruins.

Vancouver and Toronto are both massive environs that would be just as exciting as DC, and just around them are the Canadian wilds, so you'd have a chance to do city spelunking and more wild survival.

Just my thoughts

Canada sounds like a perfect place for a Fallout game but now on to the topic it is not comfirmed but many belive that Fallout 4 will be in Boston so think about it guys,Bethesda might've been sending teams to research Boston and its buildings and plus a thing i know well it aint comfirmed but i belive it myself they are writting the script right now for the game also this year the VGA(Video Game Awards)might return and now with that being set we might see a teaser about Fallout 4 there but i dont know though those are still rumors but hope they are true.

It would be really awsome if Bethesda throws all Fallouts in 1 game.

I mean something like a rework of all places Fallout ever had like The Mojave desert D.C Pitt Point Lookout, Big Mt ,Sierra Madre ,The Devide ,Zion and wherever Fallout 1 and 2 took place (I never played them).I know this is just too much work,and Bethesda is just too lazy to do something like that so its unrealistc......it would be awsome if they could do this.....but this wont happen

I would like to see it in new york. There are a lot of sights which makes the city so unique and fit perfectly in the game. I also would like to see a postnuclear winter with snow.

I'd personally like to see the Gulf Commonwealth area covered. Mutant crocodiles, crazed voodoo tribals and Southern accents

East Coast, I really wish thing to happen in New York, but I think It'll never happen

I would like to see it anywhere in Europe just to see how it's like and to see lore about what happened when the nukes were launched

This might sounds weird and out of place but... Vietnam? I mean, who doesn't want to see what their country will looks like aftermath and interact in it.

The Commonwealth
I honestly expected it to be a Fallout 3 DLC but we never did get to go there even tho it is mentioned a few times in the game ;_;

Plus a Fallout game with more Energy/Plasma weapons is always a good thing.

Paris, seeing what happened to the Eiffel Tower would be an amazing experience

London or Paris. Somewhere in Europe

Tokyo Japan! A big ass area that would be great for exploring.

So... this just hit me, so I'm curious what you all would think.

The Middle East.

Notice that, despite it's activity and conflict in our world, we hear very little of the Middle East in the Fallout World.

"But Shaman, maybe that just means it was quiet before the Apocalypse!"

Maybe, but hear me out.

Russian Soviets had involvement in the area prior to WWII, which we pretty much use as the branching point of the Fallout world from ours. At the same time, the British Mandate over Palestine existed following WWI, and while the push for the creation of Israel was after WWII, the Zionist movement was still extremely active in Palestine.

Given these facts, I put forward the theory that, while things did change after WWII, certain parts of the Middle East's history remained the same. If we go on the premise that the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan still occurred, and that Israel was still created (or at the least that the Zionist movement was still present in Palestine), then what we have is a post-apocalyptic area with heavy conflict, religious overtures, and a wide variety of culture and technology.

Now, I'll just point out that I'm not bashing any religion. But Fallout has not shied away from making supernatural or religious references. Joshua Graham in Honest Hearts, the Dunwich building and Point Lookout Lovecraftian implications, etc...

How cool would it be to explore the destroyed ruins of JERUSALEM? To visit Mecca? To fight through the Crusader castles at Acre? I understand that some of this is sensitive to people's faith, so let me stress that this premise could touch on ALL religions.
A quest to find the lost bricks of the Wailing Wall. Hell, a quest to rediscover the Rock in massive caverns under the Dome of the Rock. A taking of Christ's Sepulcher from raiders?
And imagine, how would these religions LOOK after the apocalypse? Would Muslim, Christian, and Jewish remnants be divided and at each others throats? Would they have merged into some weird mix? Hell, maybe your end goal in the main quest could be either siding with a side to conquer the others or to unify them together!

Moving on, there's a lot of geography here too. It's not all just desert, although there's plenty of that. There's mountainous regions, and scrubby conifer forests to explore. You'd run not only into cities, but the post apocalypse nomadic tribes of the region, who've adapted to the new environs.

Technologically, you'd have NATO and Communist forces present, so you'd have all the validation for American and Chinese weapons we all know and love. The history of the area could bring in some cool traditional weapons too (finding a Crusader sword or Saracen scimitar) and maybe some cool mixes of tech (like a Plasma Jezail rifle).

Overall, I think it would be a REALLY unique and fascinating new direction for Fallout. I understand a lot of people wouldn't want this, but I just wanted to flesh out the idea and hear your guys thoughts.
