Fallout series

New Orleans (a decaying city of the dead [...])

If that's what you want, you could just visit New Orleans.

So, if we were to revisit any state commonwealth in a future Fallout (despite it being against the usual order progression), which one could it be?

As much as it'd be fun to see how Murica fares in the post-apocalypse, I'd honestly like to see how Europe. Maybe a Fallout in Britbong land could be fun. Imagine shooting down chav raiders and Highlander tribals, seeing the radioactive River Thames which makes the Pitt's river look cleaner in comparison, and struggling to survive against survivalist factions rather than some BOS type of organization. The only out-right humanoid mutants there would be are ghouls and the biggest struggle is less of some Institute or Enclave and more of various towns or cities trying to survive.

Queen Elizabeth II is probably still alive 200 years after the bombs hit.

Whats interesting though is that Europe and the Middle East were actually nuked far before the USA and China were (the destruction of Europe is what inspired the Vault system)

I'd love to see what they could do with this too, but one of the hallmarks of the Fallout setting is its parody of classic 1950s Americana futurism. Without that, it'd be hard for me to call it Fallout.

Can someone recommended me some mods for Fallout 4? Not ones that add player-made stories or any of that but mods that build on existing game mechanics or remove limitations or balance things or add some degree of realism in terms of survival. Hell, just list your mods here if you want. The fact you can get them to work is more of an endorsement than anything else you could say about them.

I'm not having much luck with some of the more in depth mods. Armorsmith Extended straight up causes the game to close after the intro plays. Pretty much even the simple mods like removing settlement item caps seem to not work. Dialogue mod I tried seems to only partially work. This is kind of what scared me off from modding in Skyrim because it seemed like I spent more time trying to get shit to work right and when I did the outcome was pretty underwhelming due to people overselling the effects their mods had on the game.

Most texture mods work just fine. I recommend trying to find the texture mods that optimize the hell out of the existing textures, some idiots at Bethseda gave even really tiny objects extremely unoptimized textures that just eat up VRAM.

In fact, do this sort of modding first if you want to add mods that do stuff like add more enemy spawns, since the game consumes a ton of memory just trying to render all the unoptimized graphics and if you don't optimize those first, you will get crashes trying to add more content to the game world.

Other mods I recommend are Spring Cleaning, as it lets you clean up settlements a lot better (save though before cleaning a settlement, some objects will fuck up the LOD if you remove them, like big hedgerows, leave those alone as a general rule). Also, if you want to get more stuff and extend Settlement areas, this is a good one:

ArmorSmith Expanded works, but requires a few dependecies, follow the instructions for getting it working to the letter, and it works fine. Definitely get the compatibility patch addon as well depending on any other mods you have.

Los Angeles Before the NCR really got established (in between Fallout 1 and Fallout 2).

For a new area I want either Seattle (a constantly freezing frozen hellole full of radblizzards with mutated monstrosities coming out of Olympic National Forest) or New Orleans (a decaying city of the dead in a toxic swamp bordered by the poisonous Mississipi River)

I would love to see Los Angeles in HD and look for what's left of my neighborhood.

I would love to see Los Angeles in HD and look for what's left of my neighborhood.

The Hub is under solid NCR control now, so it's pretty stable unless there is some sort of revolution (which would be fun but probably too similar to Skyrim's stormcloak rebellion) or Caesar's Legion has made some significant advances.

I think that Alaska and Anchorage would be really fun to go to, being able to see why the war even started, 200 years afterwards.

I'm not counting on a new game to take place there any time soon. JE Sawyer even says Southern California has become too safe.

They could potentially do a game in the time period between Fallout 1 and Fallout 2, but established canon would make it difficult.

They could potentially do a game in the time period between Fallout 1 and Fallout 2, but established canon would make it difficult.

Alternatively, it would be nice to see a game set before Fallout 1 - the period from 2077 till the events of the first game isn't quite detailed in the lore.
The immediate post-war period (2077-2100) is perfect for inventing characters and locations since there's pretty much nothing in the lore about it except "lots of people die, mutants appear, and then later on Vaults open".

Considering immediate post-war period, that would really make it interesting. Around that time period, you'd have things like the Hub being established and Harold being around before he became an FEV mutant ghoul with a tree on his head. 2130 (or around that period) could also be interesting due to the Fallout bible mentioning the Great Winter, an event in which the entire planet was covered in snow. That could potentially make for an interesting Fallout game where the world is covered in snow and survival could be harsher, especially for those that aren't familiar with living in snow. Imagine being a tato farmer and you can't grow shit to survive when you have this winter rolling in to make things harder for your miserable wastelander life.

It'd be interesting to play as a ghoul and seeing your friends slowly turn feral

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

I want a written series like a "Letter's From the Vault" where you read letters and journal entries (whatever writing was scavenged during that period) from ordinary people during the Great War.

Just a thought.

It would be pretty interesting to see more vault life. It starts off horrible with everyone realizing the world is gone and having to cope with life underground. Then it gets worse as the overseer implements whatever experiment he has orders for. Then it ends as poorly as possible with armed rebellion or something breaking in. The lucky ones get to live and have to rebuild civilization from scratch.

Todd Howard and his group finally made a video about the mod kit for Fallout 4

Note they put horse armor in the video.

 

[Quijibo69]

I wonder how much it's going to cost....

Paid mods pffff...

I am uncertain of what the hell I'm doing in Fallout 4.

I am now a level 53 Lone Survivor. I have abandoned the main questline a long time ago. I have not met Nick Valentine, Cait, or Strong. I have not assisted Piper yet. She has been sitting in her office for months in-game time. I came across the Railroad's secret entrance by accident. Thus far however, I have only been joined by Dogmeat.

I use the BoS and the Minutemen as excuses for my slaughter. I explore, I plunder, I destroy. I enter strongholds and strip everything off the dead I leave in my wake and I take all their possessions- anything not nailed down. I fast travel in between Diamond City, Goodneighbor, Abernathy Farms, and my various settlements, trading armor, guns, Pre-War Money, and cigarettes for shipments of Steel, Concrete, and Copper, the rest I transfer into my workshops.

I travel through my settlements and I build massive concrete high rises to shelter my settlers. I arm my provisioners with Miniguns I have taken from Super Mutant Primuses, and my guard with combat rifles. I am so proud of them. Few days ago, I saw Sheffield kill a Deathclaw with a Power Fist.

I build and once I run out of materials, off Dogmeat and I go, back into the wilds, kill by the dozens, and the cycle repeats once more. Garvey calls me the General and enables my character's bloodlust. BoS asks me to find toasters and clear out areas they never repopulate. That's fine. More laser rifles and and combat armor to sell, more concrete to build with.

I think I need help.

Kill the Brotherhood, they're plotting to overthrow you.
