What We Want From Fallout 4

Finally, Fallout 4 has been announced but what this latest installment include? Judging from the trailer we’ll have a new character, a canine companion, and may see the world before the nuclear disaster destroyed everything. However somethings weren’t part of the trailer that I can only hope make it into the final game. This is want I want from Fallout 4.

5. Multiple Locations

While DLC has expanded the areas you could explore in both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas these expansion packs took time to release. I want to journey to other locations that have their own distinct style and atmosphere from the start. Since the Fallout universe usually attempts to mimmic the location that it’s based on, such as the desert in New Vegas’s Nevada or Washington from Fallout 3, allowing the player to travel to a different part of the United States would offer a way to refresh the experience when seeing the same landmarks become tendious. 

4. Love interest

It’s hard to deny that relationships play a massive role in all Bethesda games. Developing friendships with certain players can offer exclusive benefits or deadly consequences, why not take it a step further? Allow the player to explore various love interests that could develop the story differently based on who you choose.

3. Improved FPS and Third-person Combat

While mostly adhering to RPG elements Fallout is still classified as a shooter, since you spend most of your time gunning down enemies. In the last two games shooting, melee weapons and using other weaponry have never captured the feeling of being in active combat. Mostly players fall back on the RPG elements of the game to avoid active combat. Improved shooting mechanics, found in other FPS games and Third-person titles, should be considered. Taking aspects from Gears of War, Halo and Mass Effect’s gameplay mechanics would greatly enhance the experience, especially if coupled with a abilities that adheres players seeking active combat.

2. Video Endings

In both Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas the ending depends on the actions of the player. However each ending follows the same pattern, a reel of images showcasing significant places and characters followed by a short except explaining what happened after the story was completed. While it offers a lengthy explanation of everything that transpired throughout your journey it also doesn’t deliver a meaningful impact as a video ending would’ve. 

1. Customizable Vehicles

Traveling throughout the Wasteland and seeing all the cars, motorbikes, and trucks scattered everywhere was vexing when traveling. It’s time that we were given the chance to not only drive vehicles but upgrade them with an array of guns, armor and tools to make surviving the constant onslaught of mutants, bandits and other dangers that inhabit the land easier. It would also make walking those long distances much easier.
