So since this has been announce I am already tingling with excitement. I've been thinking of all the things I'd like to see or what I think may be in the game. So this thread is just to share ideas, prediction and wants for the new game.

-Personally if there is not some underground ghoul casino I will be a little disappointed.

-I'd also like to see some sort of gun that has a slot machine board attached to it and depending on how your spin goes depends on the damage it doles out to the enemy.

I found that the third-person view in Fallout 3 worked pretty well - I just zoomed in until the character's legs couldn't be seen. That way it didn't look like my character was skating.

As for what I'd like to see, a night-vision perk would be really neat. It would be perfect for a stealth character(well, any type of character really, but stealth characters would benefit from it the most).

I just assumed these would be a given on a new fallout game as they are adding it to fallout 3 via DLC

How about we use this thread to answer the OPs question instead of bashing Fallout 3, shall we?

I am really excited to see a post-apoclyptic Las Vegas, I really enjoyed the atmosphere of Fallout 3 and think they will deliver the goods in Sin City as well. Other than that I'd say more perks, wepons, etc. The VATS system could use a little fleshing out as well.

This game should be fine if Obsidian is allowed to do what they do best.

A proper Fallout game and not another sloppy FPS with some RPG elements.

Hire voice actors with talent.

Hire writers with talent.

Night-Vision is available through mods for PC already. Excellent to use with a darker nights mod (makes things proper dark, dangerous dark).

I would like the possibility for gardening and collecting seeds as a side-quests. You could grow herbs, vegetables and drugs but you have to find healthy plants or seeds first.

Proper guilds.

well if they make a top down game like the old ones I say fuck you obsidian
and plus it won't be like that because the whole reason its coming out next year is because they are going to use the same engine
if the have to build a whole new engine your looking at 4 more years and it would just be fallout 4 then

I speculate that this will be either an attempt to make a hybrid between old and new (and make the combat good), or a more of the same sequel that manages to cheapen the brand (which is the one I am leaning toward).

Obsidian made KotOR 2, they know how to make a bad sequel, but they also made NWN2, which means they know how to make a good sequel. But a lot of Obsidian staff also made the original Fallout games, which means that they know Fallout (as overrated as those two games have become). So the real answer is that I guess I need more information to really make a judgment on this game.

I'm not talking about the ISOMETRIC views from the originals, I'm talking about the atmosphere and feel which is completely different from Fallivion. The engine is there and has been around for almost a decade. Obsidian will have more time to focus on the plot, characters, locations, and gameplay which are key components in an RPG which Bethslop hasn't been able to comprehend.

Not a first person shooter or Third-person view, perhaps not isometric, but at least not the first two.

If they made a traditional fallout game in this day and age that game would fuckin suck and I would not buy it. Why would you try to play a first person game in third person? Also I happened to like vats and i dont see what was so bad about it.
