Some leaks from the game say its going to take place in Massachusetts or the Boston area. Id like too see fallout 4 take place in California though, back to the shady sands and cow boy days . plus it would be dope to be able to walk out onto the beach. Either way cant wait for fallout 4

Well Fallout has been rumored to take place in commonwealth and that's sounds cool, hopefully they explore some more patriotic themes dealing with the area. Like with that leaked script thing that mentioned the minutemen that sounds cool.

Personally i want to see it somewhere in the south maybe Florida, Louisiana, or Alabama. I thhink that would be a unique setting with an interesting mix of environments. There would be swamps, cities, and forests.The wildlife is also quite diverse.

I know a lot of people think Fallout 4 should take place in another country, but Fallout has been very deadset on the American wastelands. Maybe a DLC where you travel to the european commonwealth? That would be cool.

Anyway, I think it should be at or round the great-plains region. Imagine running from intense twisters while running from monsterous creatures that would make a ghoul blush!

wow if i could think of one place fallout 4 to be that would be New York, one reason is the architecture would be soo scenic and enbs would make it look that much more amazing.. also i kinda want to see giant tall skyscrapers in fallout 4, i know the engine will be based off of skyrim's so that it can support a install of much more than 135 mods (fallout's engine).. but i digress i would like to see New York though :3

I agree about California being a great setting. I've spent my entire life in the western states though, so I'm a bit biased. I've never been to Boston, so I won't be familiar with any of the landmarks.

That's why I loved Fallout: New Vegas so much. The setting hit so close to home, that I liked it even better than Fallout 3.  Of course, a lot of it wasn't all *that* accurate. But there are some mods that change that! (A notable example is FLVJOD Freeside)

I want it to take place in Boston, which is where its actually taking place.  Anywhere else would just mean a longer wait. :p

I thought the whole Boston thing was revealed to have been an elaborate hoax a while back?

That said, a Fallout game where the Institute takes center stage would be pretty cool. What with the Blade Runner thing they have going on.

No, there was a website hoax and a false copyright claim that Bethesda says they didn't file. But they've been seen scouting locations in Boston, and a number of pretty reliable gaming sites have found other evidence to support the location.

However little is known about the next Fallout, the location is almost certain. Mind you they could change it, especially if they're annoyed that its becoming known.

In general Bethesda annoys me with their secrecy... I much prefer developers who actively communicate with their players/communities, like Blizzard and Riot Games.

I want it take place in the initial location. Which is Boston and it's where I was born at, so it will be nice to explore there.

I want it to take place in Boston or the surrounding New England area, that would be cool for me. There's the Institute where androids are made and that could have so much story and depth to explore as well as moral choices to be made. Boston would be so cool.

I suppose Ireland is out of the question ha

A fallout in Paris would be AMAZING, the landscapes are perfect and imagine exploring the catacombs! Ghouls and other spooky things down there. Definitely would have to be Paris if i were to make the choice for it's location.

I would say someplace I europe. Or canada. But that's just a bias opinion.

I think NYC would be perfect for it you could have a mission where you have to go to the zoo and deal with all the mutated animals when you get there.

Edinburgh, just because I kinda want to see how the Scottish deal with the apocalypse, if its anything like the film Doomsday, then nothing would have changed

I want one taking place outside of America, at least. Maybe China would be interesting, see the other side of the story.
Failing that, Georgia would be interesting, lots of hicks and lax gun laws would make for a crazy time.

China would be pretty cool, or Russia! A different side would be really nice- and plus the countryside of China can be really astounding.
But I'd actually like the next FO to be more futuristic rather than just a different place. I feel like FO3 and FONV, in addition to the other entries of the FO series have kinda just been dwelling in a pretty thoroughly explored time period already for the lore.

I really want it to be in a super huge urban area just so we can see what all the apocalypse has done to some place like NYC and maybe even have references to big name superheroes there. And taking it outside of the US would be cool because to me the rest of the world in the Fallout universe just seems to be in limbo.

I would like something like a good mix of urban like down town d.c. or maybe even outer Vegas but then on the outer more rural areas that have more tribes and stuff like that

Ok, I want the new setting to be in Chicago. Why we have no idea about what the area is like. The Chicago area has a nice tall downtown for a more city fighting. The great lakes could have been changed with the great war. Also Chicago has some pretty rough winters and this could have a gameplay effect I think would be cool to impliment. Finally, they could introduce completely new factions that are seperate from the one already in the lore. I mean come on Supermutants and the Enclave have been the big bads way too much. It would be cool if the Enclave had a small presence in the area but aren't prevelant because of the defeats they suffered.
