I know I'm late late to the party but I just met Two-Bears-High-Fiving in Honest Hearts. I'm amazed by this reference as long time ago I dug out that mod from the Nexus when it had like 5 downloads and we had a good laugh from it in the New Vegas modding thread and now it made its way to the main game, fantastic.

Goons, I'm scared. I'm scared for the future of Fallout. Fallout is one of my favorite franchises ever... is there a remote possibility it could be destroyed by Bethesda? I mean, Obsidian made this fine piece of game... and I don't want the devil in disguise to destroy the wasteland and create a second Moira Brown or some inane poo poo like that

You seem to be confusing us with NMA my friend. Seriously though, I wouldn't worry about the future. Considering New Vegas seems to made a bigger splash than FO3 I'm sure Beth wouldn't decide to not hire Obsidian again.

Given the fact that Fallout 3 actually resurrected a -somewhat- long dead franchise and made FNV possible, i think future looks bright. My only "concern" is the next game being a prequel or something that takes the timeline another hundred years forward (which i will probably put 100+ hours into it anyway). Actually, the engine they are using for Skyrim doesn't look half bad with killing animations and ragdolls. If they can add Guns related special moves to the VATS i'll be more than happy.

How would you even do another Fallout game that's not effectively a prequel, I mean New Vegas was basically entirely about the postapocalyptic era coming to an end and civilization reascendant. The future set following New Vegas would just wind up a generally retrofuturistic 50s-Western-America-with-superscience sorta deal featuring the NCR (or god forbid resurrecting the Brotherhood) but that's throwing out all but the absolute least essential element of the setting. I guess if your objection is to the word "prequel" and the concept of pretending you're looking backward instead of forward on an entirely arbitrary fictitious timeline you could set Fallout 4 in some other hunk of desert and just say it's a few years later but none of the reformation of society that's taken place everywhere else has happened and everyone's just acting like it's a hundred years earlier because, okay. But Fallout doesn't have the broader conceptual underpinnings to do a Canticle for Leibowitz type deal and come out at all consistent, you leave the atomic Mad Max wasteland you're telling a different story. Really New Vegas was a fine conclusion to the series. What I see in the responses to 'what would you want from a Fallout sequel' is all either dialing it back to prior installments or completely other games and settings with the Fallout brand stuck on them (Norway, really, seriously?), which seems to back that up. Squeezing the last drops of life out of the setting and name might suit Bethesda down to the ground, but as far as good games are concerned that'd all be better served by a new, different world and story.

I think there's plenty left to do with the franchise, plenty of places left to see. The Commonwealth's been talked about a great deal, I'd love to see that one day, from the little we've heard it sounds like it could be really fun. Also Desmond might be there  Upmarket Mango posted:Stay golden, Ponyboy.

Evenyone seems to act like Fallout 3 Didn't win a ton of awards, sell a gazillion copies, and revive a dead franchise. I'm excited for the future of the series, at least for having a fallout game on the skyrim engine.

I think Bethesda's idea that you shouldn't do prequels is pretty harmful in the case of Fallout because of how nonsensical basically everything in Fallout 3 ended up being because it was set 200 years after the apocalypse.

If you finished Honest Hearts almost every vendor sells .45 Auto/+P/HP. Check Gun Runners or the guy at Mc Carran if you didn't exposed him already or sided with him, they should've updated inventory by now. Since the .45 isn't used in Mojave you can't find on enemies sadly. Edit: According to wiki Great Khans Armourer sells those aswell.

They could always have a second nuclear apocalypse - there's obviously plenty of working missiles around still, and it would fit with the theme of history repeating itself. The game could be set immediately after a nuclear war between the NCR and the Legion.

Yeah, but then you could have, like, double-ghouls. What would really seem shoehorned-in would be the FEV Evolutionary Virus, or FEV-EV.

That's weird since I did beat it (I'm wearing joshua graham's armor) but the ammo did not appear at the gun runners and every other vendor. I'd spend 1000 caps to fill up on just that ammo. Oh well...

Just cause New Vegas was real good doesn't mean you can't make more fallout games. Hell they still have never gone back to the west coast and there's plenty of areas that haven't been seen but have been thought of. People were saying the same thing after Fallout 3 as well. Oh why are they making another Fallout when 3 just came out! I wouldn't mind them returning to the west coast and having a fallout game with some actual cities in it. Would be a nice contrast in having the safe cities with the wasteland outside them. Saying there is nothing more to see and do in the world of Fallout is just being unimaginative.

I have seen everything there is to see in New Vegas and all its DLCs except for Gun Runners, so I'm playing through Fallout 3 again. I installed the Fellout mod to take away that loving awful Matrix green tint the whole game had and I have to say, that alone is making me enjoy the game much more than I did the first time around. New Vegas, though, is unparalleled. I'll have to wait a few years to really be sure but it might be my favorite game of all time. It's already trumped Fallout 2 as my favorite Fallout Game. I really hope Obsidian gets another shot at Fallout.
