I'd rather see something new. New Vegas was great at the time, but Fallout doesn't really need direct sequels. It just wouldn't work. Like how none of the Elder Scrolls are direct sequels. Honestly, New Vegas hasn't aged great.

What I'd really like to see is Fallout: Alaska. Think about it. A nuclear winter landscape, mutant polar bears, artifacts from the Chinese invasion everywhere. It's basically perfect for something 'new'.

New Vegas 2 isn't necessary but a game in a different location that has the same (or greater since y'know games should improve over time) level of player choice, writing quality and RPG mechanics is

you want a mod of fallout 3s dlc? lol

I would have liked Fallout 4 more if it wasnt just lazily fallout 3 reskinned

I honestly really, really liked The Pitt DLC and think it would make for a good full game setting.

that's the general fallout series subreddit btw

the one for 76 is basically what you'd expect. basically all the worst things about reddit
---

It doesn't matter. Zenimax want an online game where they can can milk players through microtransactions and Obsidian are now chained to Microsoft.

Bethesda will never let anyone else touch Fallout again after they got humiliated and upstaged
---

Well thanks to Bill Gates we can't
---

Personally, I'd settle for a side game in the series made by larian, the guys who do the Divinity original sin games. Let them do an isometric turn based fallout game with their writers, I would legitimately Kickstart this lol.

There's a small handful of good to be found in the burning tire pile that is Fallout 3, and the Pitt is amongst the good.

Or, we could just take it to a new location and use those same systems, since it's, you know, part of the series.

Literally not a direct sequel. It takes place 80 years after the first one in a completely different location.

I'm not sure what is so hard to get here. Maybe I wasn't clear; sequels are fine, but we don't need to continue the story directly. Each game can take place in a completely different area in a different time period and it would be great. All that is required for a Fallout game is a post-apocalyptic America, but that covers a lot of different territory.

No, Operation: Anchorage took place during the war. I want to see what happened to Alaska after the bombs dropped. My point is that the wildlife is diverse, the place would be full of war ruins, and it could provide something different from the deserts and melted cities that we've got so far.

Sorry boys. If y'all want a good RPG then keep an eye out for whatever xbox owned obsidian has coming

Bethesda is a lost cause NV was great because of obsidian.
---

I dont think Bethesda will ever let a more competent developer use one of their IPs again. I'm pretty sure Obsidian wanted to do a FO4 spinoff.

but there's much reference to fallout 1 in it. arroyo came about because of the protagonist of 1.
hell, NCR in itself is indirectly sequel content to 1 and 2. I just take "new vegas 2" as meaning revisiting the area. at the very least it'd be nice if bethesda didn't pretend like the entire setting of the original two games practically doesn't exist. but I'd imagine their writers would do shit like "new vegus fell and evrybody died cuz that place sucks so much also ncr died of being the biggest dumheds ever and evry1 in cesars legion became cannibols and ate each other, also tunnelers" so maybe that's for the best that they don't.

I could have maybe enjoyed it if it was that.

I don't know what the hell they were thinking with Fallout 4. They got rid of ... everything that made the series interesting and turned it into an open world FPS with entirely pointless crafting mechanics.

There was a rumor circulating about a New Vegas style spinoff in New Orleans/Louisiana.

That would have been awesome

After what they did with the Mass. stuff in FO4 I have no hope that they could do an interesting New Orleans game.

I think the rumor had Obsidian doing it.

Obsidian got bought out by Microsoft though so.

I do hope Microsoft uses their two new acquisitions to make a Fallout game that's a million times better than Fallout.

This was a while back, maybe last year.

Keep in mind though that Obsidian isn't the same Obsidian from NV.

Since then they've lost a lot of key folks, including Chris Avellone.

That being said I still think they'd do a better job than Bethesda.

I could do a better job than Bethesda. Anyone could do a better job with Bethesda, if you just take the time to think and actually plan instead of just throwing an idea out there and coding it and calling it a day.

I must have been unclear; by direct sequel, I mean picking up immediately after. The game takes place 80 years later in a completely different location. Yes, there are nods to the original, but if you missed the first one, you aren't going to be lost in the second. It's not one singular narrative, it's multiple loosely related stories that are all connected by taking place in the same thematic universe.

Yeah, and I was pointing out that it doesn't need to be New Vegas 2, it just needs to be a game that draws from that game.

Seriously, though, people's blind nostalgia for New Vegas can get pretty bad. It was great, but it still had its rough edges and there is some stuff that other entries did better.

there's stuff that fallout 1 and 2 did better but there's really nothing that 3 or 4 did better than new vegas

unless you're counting graphics or stability at launch

Power Armor was way better in 4. As was grouping the weapons by class/firing mode instead of the three groups that made no sense. Weapon crafting and customization was also a welcome addition to the game.

4 gets a lot of hate, and while it does have some clear issues I think it's a better game than people give it credit.

I agree. It had some flaws and rough edges, but all in all, it was pretty solid.

Honestly, the main reason I play modern FOs is to explore the world, and IMO 4's setting is much better done than 3/NV. The character progression system is awful, and the game focuses too heavily on settlement building, but I still found it fun.

I don't know why people are expecting a Fallout 5 or whatever so soon and with Starfield and TESVI in development. It's spinoff time, play it or don't.
