Honestly, with how much hell Bethesda modders go through, it's a wonder that they're still around and there's still new ones with every game. To mod for a game where you as a collective group are just expected to make everything better with no compensation whatsoever just sounds terrible.

>>381821945
Holy shit the main story could be based around a nuclear hurricane.

I've got two ides for it:
You start out the game coming out of a vault directly after a nuclear hurricane and explore and recently destroyed world and then choose a faction to help seize control of the wasteland by while its weak

Or characters in the game know that a nuclear hurricane is coming and you have to choose which faction to save by securing them a super vault or something

>>381821147

>>381821938
Yeah, will be interesting to see how far they go down that road and when. I remember the minor controversy about Skyrim where there was a quest to shame a woman about her sex life.
(That is, of course, not what the quest was actually about, but that's how they made it fit the narrative)

Everyone is going to tell you no, but I personally loved FO4. I'd say yes. Has its flaws for sure, but still enjoyable for me

>>381829202
new vegas and hell even fallout 3 are leagues better than 4 but its still fun here and there

>make the leveling system a hybrid between New Vegas and Skyrim, meaning you level up skills by doing things as well as assigning skill points (but much fewer each level) when you level up
>make SPECIAL more important by having it determine which skills you can raise and how many skill points you can assign (example: someone with 10 strength can assign up to 15 skill points to melee and unarmed each level-up but a player with 4 strength can only assign like 8)
>assign each skill to a SPECIAL attribute so that players are forced to play as a certain character rather than raising all their skills to 100
>prevent players from maxing out skills if they don't match their SPECIAL (players with low charisma shouldn't be able to max out speech or barter or even raise them high at all, players with low strength shouldn't be able to max out melee weapons, etc)
>tagging skills at the beginning also gives you a unique perk that affects the skill
>have charisma affect the disposition of NPCs, if you have 3 charisma or lower, most NPCs won't help you and you have to find a way to force them to give in. meanwhile having 10 charisma makes NPCs throw themselves at you

>>381821147
It would be very different from Fallout 4.
>get rid of dialog wheel and voiced protag
>plenty of villages and settlements to explore, each with their own amenities and at least 20 NPCs per village/settlement and at least 10 settlements and at least 20 villages
>reintroduce old school villages similar to Arroyo from FO2, where there are shamans and elders, only in some lower level villages though
>completely overhaul leveling, skills and reintroduce S.P.E.C.I.A.L
>leveling up is based on individual skill increases
>when you level up, you pick which skills to level up (with multipliers where applicable) and then pick a perk, like FO3 and FNV
>since it's in New Orleans, lots of bayou ghouls
>no radscorpions in the game since this isn't out west, instead have mutated gators

If it isn't made by Obsidan there is no point, I love literally all the fallout games (except for the weird BOS knockoff which I haven't played) and I honestly was just bored by fallout 4.

Go down I4 to get to the remains of Tampa where the Scientology pastiche/cult can be. Go east on 192 to get to the Space Coast and NASA for shit there or east on 92/up 95 or A1A to Daytona. DLC can get you into Ocala for survival shit, over to the Panhandle for Gulf stuff/the military stuff in Pensacola, over on the other side for St. Augustine or Jacksonville or the Georgia Border or down south for Miami or even the Keys. You can even play up the whole "Florida is weird" thing for the game.

Considering the abomination that was fallout 4 I figured it would be best to just remove the main story from the picture and focus on gameplay. That's probably where Bethesda is going to be taking its open world franchises anyway, what with their insistence on letting the player do whatever he wants.

I wouldn't normally do this but in Bethesda's defense, it was known pretty publicly that the president and top brass was not around the white house at all. I believe there were a lot of news articles speculating that there was a skeleton staff in the white house and questioning where their leader was. Wouldn't be too hard for the chinese to get that information. Still bullshit that the white house had such a small localized hole blasted into it.

I'm going to be real with you.

I really like Mount and Blade. I would add Mount and Blade mechanics to literally every game in existence, if I could. I think NPC factions that think and act on their own both against the player and each other in the context of a game where you directly control a single person to be the absolute shit and literally cannot enjoy games anymore if they don't do this, because it all feels so static and lifeless.

>>381844607
Well there was those pics of Obsidian having field notes about Louisiana from Josh Sawyer from like a year ago. As much as I'd like it I'd doubt Bethesda will let Obsidian have another shot at Fallout though.

As someone who lives on the Space Coast it's why I proposed it. Florida's a melting pot of shit from people around the country who have come down here so there's lots of stuff to play with.

I also wouldn't mind seeing something set in the East Central Commonwealth (Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee) or in the North Commonwealth (Wyoming and those states). Just something that's a little off the beaten path and not just "here's Famous City and its landmarks"; we got that in FO4 and the end result was a city inside a baseball stadium. Something that requires some creativity would be preferable.

How about playing Fallout 1 and 2 faggot

>>381821147
The main story progresses even when you're not doing it. It has multiple potential events changing the direction of the whole world, which will either get triggered by the story going in one direction or if you intervene you can force it in one direction. But if you dont play a part in the story, then it will reach its conclusion.

Even up to the very end there will be options to influence the main story back in favor of whoever you side with. But depending on how unlucky they have been up to that point will determine how effective that recovery is

i.e. you ignore the main story until it nearly reaches completion, for many reason the BoS has been reduced to basically nothing. Just before the finale you lead them to a nuclear conclusion, letting them 'win', but it isnt a great outcome for them. Had you involved yourself form the beginning (or just intervened when you heard they were in risk of losing an event) you could have given them a better outcome at the end.

Unpopular idea im sure, but I would like it. Means if you decide to just fuck off and do your own thing there are consequences for the world. You're not the ultimate savor of anything if you dont get involved, and the world doesnt wait for you to stop jerking off on the other side of the map.

Fallout will lose a lot of themes and atmosphere without using the famous city and surroundings approach. A big theme is how the apocalypse changes the world, and its hard to know how the apocalypse changed the world if nobody knows how it was in the first place. Everyone knows about SF, LV, DC, LA.

Honestly I want a Fallout that deals with the coming rise of a Khan/Followers empire like this ending slide of New Vegas set up:

>"During the Battle of Hoover Dam, the Great Khans quickly evacuated Red Rock Canyon and headed north and east into the plains of Wyoming. There, they reconnected with the Followers of the Apocalypse and rebuilt their strength. Bolstered by ancient knowledge of governance, economics, and transportation, they carved a mighty empire out of the ruins of the Northwest."

It'd be so fucking interesting to see how it plays out when a faction of moral idealists join forces with a faction of practical warriors only to end up carving out an empire. Imagine how thematically fitting this could be as a followup to New Vegas by showing the result of a PROPER Hegelian synthesis.

Not to mention the sequel potential which stems from the fact that the White Legs flee to Wyoming if Salt-Upon-Wounds dies, and the fact that the Lady Killer dialogue options indicate that The Courier has a kid in Wyoming.

Ha. Old Orleans is a ghost town overrun with Ghouls that nobody lives in, but you need to get the macGuffin out of it, so the whole game is you building yourself up to brave the insanity there-in. Every expedition takes an outrage amount of effort, every time the plot requires you to retrieve something from the city, you need to go on all these quests to gather rad-x and such.

Making the island actually wouldn't take that long, definitely not 10. You can use USGS map data to create the heightmap requiring very little adjustments for the game in photoshop (this is what I've done with my mods, very easy and pretty fun to do), and everything else the game needs would be completed in far less then 10 years.
>But why does it take Todd so long for his games
Probably because they have no reason to get it done sooner so they just take their time. Plus I'm pretty they manually create their heightmaps like a bunch of idiots.

>>381857486
Meh, it can work if it's a soft timer.

As in, you start a quest where an NPC asks you to get them some food within the next week or so. If you take more than 7 days to actually get the food for them, you fail the quest and the NPC dies of starvation or something.

That would be fine, especially if the results of failure were creative and offered you a chance to experience something interesting. In the above example it might be being able to freely loot the NPCs corpse and house now that they're dead (I know you could do that anyway and just kill them but role playing and all that noise).

As with many mechanics, it's all about how it's executed.

Scrap is all there is, Bethesda doesn't want to go into a regular old society game.
Trees require time, concrete and new steel require significant infrastructure and manpower that only really comes full government (although they could theoretically buy steel from The Pitt)

What I'd genuinely like to see as a novel idea would be 'radglass' buildings (or maybe some melted/fused silicate tunnel structures) built by Ghouls (glowing ones specifically for building)
That'd be both neat and lore-friendly without veering too close to actual civilisation.

>>381859654
You can make adobe houses with practically no infrastructure. And its been a long fucking time since the bombs dropped. This eternal stasis of scavenging only is stupid, and it only exists in the 3D games. The first 2 games had plenty of more advanced areas that had more than sufficiently built themselves up.

*you're

>>381859921
This is untrue.

In the first 2 games the majority of settlements are either old ruined cities that people have kind of half-way repaired and mud hut villages with tribal-tier sophistication.

The only exceptions are Vault City which was built using prefab Vault technology.

>inb4 you mention The Hub
The Hub was a town before the nukes fell, people just moved in because it was relatively intact and started living there, they didn't build it.

>>381860335
The NCR had genuinely built structures too.

>>381860546
The NCR was also civilisation in the end, even the original FO3 was going to focus on areas away from the NCR because civilisation is boring - we're not laying SimCity or a regular-ass old RPG.
NCR even had cement production and metal crushing in Nevada until the deathclaws moved in.

>>381860783
Exactly. I refuse to believe the NCR was the only ones in the entire united states that developed anything like that. Give me some fucking development.

>>381860546
The NCR is a government.

They actually have a legitimate infrastructure. No such body exists in the areas that Fallout 3 and 4 are set in and in New Vegas we only see the military arm of the NCR because it's the outskirts of their expansion.

The only people in Fallout 4 that can actually build anything are the Institute, and they did.

The thing a lot of people misunderstand about Fallout as a series was it isn't supposed to be about the apocalyptic aspects of the setting, nobody cared about why or when the bombs fell, it was always about rebuilding. Over Fallout 1, 2, and New Vegas you see towns becoming city-states become nations. It's post-post-apocalyptic, like A Canticle for Leibowitz. It's supposed to show that mankind always comes back and that the apocalypse was just another footnote in our history of killing each other because as the games themselves say, "War, war never changes."

>>381861041
Sure, pal. another Bethsoft Fallout amusement park is the vidya of the intellectual. Just give Todd the e-check & routing info for your bank account, you can save him money by having to advertise to you, and you time by actually having to click a purchase link.

>>381861249
I understand this, but you're also getting close but missing the point too - a game set within the rebuilt civilisation is boring and the reasons for the bomb falling only matter lore.
We're going to be stuck in post-post-apocolypse forever, because a game set in a real civilsation wouldn't sell.

>>381861301
You son of a fucking bitch, I ought to fucking kick your ass. Todd Howard is a Turdd Coward. He makes pretty shit games.

>>381861465
Right, but since it's supposed to be about the folly of humans and our disposition for war wouldn't it make sense for us to nuke each other again? Then it would start all over again, a vicious cyclical timeline of agony and doom. That's what the games are about, it's how despite how much everything changes human nature stays the same. I remember MCA saying in an interview how his personal canon ending for NV is the Courier nuking both the Legion and NCR at the end of Lonesome Road. It makes sense thematically.

>>381861249
That is just your personal interpretation but regardless, let's go with that.

Doesn't this also apply to Fallout 3 and 4? People in Fallout 3 and 4 are still trying to rebuild and create homes for themselves, and themes of continued conflict and war regardless of the mistakes of the past being apparent in the current state of the world are still central to the main story lines of those games.

Fallout 3 is literally about a war between 2 large, widely established factions over a key resource, one of the most common reasons for war in all of history.

Fallout 4 is about a conflict between multiple emerging and pre-existing factions over the best way to continue the rebuilding process.

However at their core both games are still about what you're talking about. So I guess I'm not really seeing your point here.

>absolutely ZERO roll-playing BUT, you get to build your own shit shack to live in.

sounds perfect, right? that's because it IS the next fallout.

Focus on interesting party members, have a few waifu types. Make the game more open world and sandbox. The plot is about starting a trade/caravan company and running it. The party members can be given jobs in the company or accompany you. Instead of focusing on a narrative plot, the main story and open ended narrative is based on the trade company and dealing with the wasteland. "saving the world plot" is actually an optional sidequest not primary, instead the open ended trader campaign is the primary.

Basically priority list

- Trader Open Ended Campaign
then
- Save the world plot
then
- sidequests

You would have to manage the economics of the trading outpost. As you get it going the plots open up and are tied into it.

AKA a caravan you send out goes missing and you have to rescue an NPC you invested into is one of the narrative hooks.

Also on the engine, make something not low IQ that isn't brainlet programming.

>>381862739
Each city/hub has a trader area, with caravans coming in and out dynamically. You can choose one to be your HQ, over time you'll get more guards etc. It's not focused on base building at all though.

Instead it's focused on getting more trade routes established and making lots of DOSH. All NPCs can be caravan guards/traders/etc and you manage them or put them in your direct party.

I'm also talking different companion dynamics.

They aren't sitting in a bar/hub. They interact with your company.

See, normally a beth game is all about an open world you walk to different hubs in. Having a company to run and that being a literal game in itself that you have to manage gives more plot. In some ways you are fucked because you can't just go walk around for 30 hours and come back. You have to explore the open world with real constraints and fucking off becomes a luxury.

>what are some ideas for it that you have?

Voodoo cultists.

Cajun rednecks ramming around on airboats with machine guns mounted on them.

Large parts of the city are flooded and the people are living in settlements built on the rooftops of the flooded city kind of like a post apocalyptic Venice.

Radioactive water covers a large portion of the map and you'll need a boat to get around.

Gators....big gators.

And obviously bring back skills, item deterioration, ammo crafting, and the New Vegas reputation system.

I never understood why people prefer NV over 3, I personally enjoy 3 a lot more in gameplay, followers and story(that part with the corrupt Brotherhood member is kthe reason the Brotherhood is shit in 4, makes me wish NV never existed just for that)
>>381821147
Add more weapon mod crafting, but instead of getting unlockable upgsrdes your upgrades becpme better with more skill points invested in weaponsmith perk
Remove the "build your own town however you want" if you plan to make it shit like in 4.
Let us make our own faction and give us free reign to do whatever we want with it, even if it means total wasteland domination
Don't create a shitty "multiple endings based on faction", instead make one that doesn't have anything to do with any faction
Make self made meds to be less effective at early stages and just as efective as normal ones in later ones
And for gods sake, don't make it lvl progression based, make actual zones with lvl caps for each.
That's all I want

>Fallout: Neo New York
Emphasis on verticality as you get ziplines between skyscraper husks etc
Smaller map but a lot denser, more metroidvania-esque than open world
Descending gets more dangerous as you go, metro packed with fiendish creatures
Lots of plant growth at ground level, first few storeys are shanty towns, next level is bandit turf, tops of skycrapers usually for factions
Brotherhood wants to use some kind of anti gravity device to get their skycraper away from the plebs

Radiation is a good way to control the player's progress and send them to explore areas in the order the designer wants them to without using invisible wall bullshit. That's what F1 an F2 did.

Gross

How is the Fortress mod for New Vegas?

>>381865489
You take that back. For all its faults, the environment and atmosphere of The Pitt was perfect.

>>381865573
What?
Power armor was at its objective best in 4.
And when i spoke of settlements i meant shit like towns and cities, not a plot of land with two guys tending to it and being raided by half a dozen super mutants every half hour.

>>381862739
Instead of a save the world plot why not a Ulysses or someguyseries style plot?

Over the course of the game you end up pissing off this legendary villain that nobody has seen in decades but everyone including the other villains are all still terrified of him.
Mind you, you piss him off as a result of your actions in the wasteland not some bullshit backstory like what happened in Lonesome Road. Maybe you kill his dog or something.
So he comes out of retirement and decides to push your shit in and absolutely destroy everything you built.

Or maybe some sort of Syndicate invades the wasteland to take over your trading operation but that sounds like a save the world plot

>>381865573
Honestly I think settlement building can work just fine as long as they're not as intrusive on the rest of the game as they were in FO4.

If they had just a few of them scattered around the map that you had to find on your own (as in, no annoying black asshole constantly bugging you about this one or that one) and made building them up completely optional with no ties whatsoever to the main story then it could work.

Basically, if you included them in a way that made it possible to never touch them and not be have it never come up at all throughout the game unless you wanted to build one up then that would be fine. The problem in FO4 wasn't really the system itself but rather that it was constantly shoved in your face since the beginning of the game and tied to one of the major factions of the game so you couldn't even ignore it.

>>381864828
NV is better because of a combination of identical gameplay with some new bells and whistles (crafting, hardcore mode, ammo types, general immersion enhancers like that) and vastly superior writing and characters

>>381865573
Fallout 4 got an awful lot of things wrong, but the Power Armour mechanics aren't on that list.

You can't really do a setting in Lousiana without referencing The Residents

Black-and-white morality is boring. Don't make one faction the clear "good guys".

Maybe have the Neo-Union be really two-faced, or abuse a system of unlawful imprisonment, or take a "salt the Earth" approach to razing plantations, or maintain a military draft which is bad enough to cause riots.

>>381866525
Gotta agree with this.
Like, why the hell was there no option to ust walk in while wearing power armor and saying "Aight ya lot! Let's foight!"

Yeah, that's where we dissagre, I can still remember the characters from 3 but all the characters from NV are forgettable with few exceptions, as far as story goes, come on, it's a fallout game, they had a shit story since the first one came out.

>>381821147
I want skills and perks to be different again.

I never understood why they couldn't let you join The Children of Atom or some other cultist faction and purposefully turn yourself into some sort of ghoul, or why they didn't make radiation a much more important gameplay mechanic beyond "lul just use this radaway that magically removes any radiation poisoning and btw you can use it as much as you want"

I thought dressing up in the inquistor armor you get in farharbor and using radium rifles was pretty legit.

the game is about the end of the world and fallout women act like it's the real world

there should be at least one npc that has many wives and a rival faction that you can join (femicunts or w/e) to take him down or join him with femicunts with bomb collars

I really loved that they tried to really encapsulate the atmosphere of a crumbling ruin of a city trying to be captured by an army of raiders using slaves to make resources necessary to rebuild the city, and the weapons and the armor fit so damn well.

oh shit I completely forgot about that

using the grinder tearing apart ghouls and hearing all the ripping steel

firstly no Brotherhood of Steel, no Supermutants, anything FEV-related is something entirely different and not seen before.

"New New Orleans" is a venician-esque city, has wood-sided buildings/houses that look fairly clean and there's not skeletons everywhere. It's somehow mostly intact, and at the center/center-south of the map, it's the biggest settlement, similar to new vegas in that respect.

most of the vaults that aren't in use are flooded courtesy of the high-water-table.

inventory is grid based, at least on the PC version, menu's for quests, or the map, or some other stuff might rely on the pip-boy, but it's a belt-mounted unit that has a carrying pouch, not a wrist-mounted one. Inventory should be grid based so I can see what the fuck I'm carrying.

(for instance, power-armor should sink in the mud and possibly lead to death by drowning or CO2 suffocation as stuff will clog up suit exhaust ports)

some mobs include Gators, Wild Boar, some form of mutant Raccoon, some form of mutant capybara,

maybe a mutant manatee/sea-cow could be a mount or a pack animal.

Will need some signs of environmental devastation resulting from reckless oil drilling, (there's been so many incidents in Louisana, from oil-spills to the Lake Peigneur Incident, to many others that probably didn't make the news. abandoned rigs should also be some form of settlement.

>>381866939
Bullshit every word of that sentence is completely opposite of the truth fallout 3 is full of generic 1d characters name 1 memorable character other than three dog, the Colonel, or Dadnison. As far as the story is concerned NV is about 3 morally gray factions and a black faction fighting for supremacy that you get to tip the balance of with a bunch of side factions and characters to deal with that affect the ending, meanwhile F3 is about finding your dad and then becoming a generic soldier doing things any other BoS knight could do.

>>381868070
>no BoS or FEV shit

would make sense since FEV was limited to either the area surrounding Mariposa due to the Master, or the commonwealth due to the Institute, and I doubt the BoS would want to send a recon team to the bayou since they'd assume there would be nothing of worth in that shit hole
