Where do you think the next Fallout game will be based?
Where do you think the next Fallout game will be based?
And why do you think it was be based there?
I know this has been asked a thousand times on /r/Fallout but I'm curious what people here have to say. I also haven't played Fallout 76 so I imagine a lot of places were likely ruled out or hinted at
Chicago seems like an obvious choice to revisit. Fallout Tactics is non-canon, but plenty of references to it have still been dropped, so it would make sense to make a full fledged reboot that drew from Tactics.
While it won’t happen, I have long supported the idea of a game set in Canada. This is because Americana is essential to the DNA of a Fallout game, which is why Fallout London or Fallout China don’t really work. Canada is different because it was annexed by the US military pre-war. This creates the chance to have locations in Canada descended from occupying Americans who brought their culture with them. But it can be mixed with a Nobel snow covered location and the possibly of actual new enemy types rather than reused supermutants and death claws.
I actually lurked a thread on /b/ coming up with a collective decent first draft idea that incorporated Canada into a wandering war machine from the original pitch of Fallout 2. In the thread’s idea, the rolling machine was actually a mobile vault, which gives an idea how massive it is, rolling through and crushing and destroying what opposes it.
There's also references to a rogue group of Brotherhood of Steel and Super Mutants being located there in Fallout 3, one of the messages from ED-E states the Enclave have an outpost there in Fallout NV, and I think someone in Fallout 4 mentions airships being around there.
Could be a neat setup for a game.
Canada could be neat I know some people think the Pitt's references to a strong settlement to the North named Ronto might be Toronto.

This. The franchise hasn't been this low since interplay went bankrupt.
It's a very tough question to answer because Bethesda has kind of made their own lore in the east coast with obsidian doing the west coast. If Obsidian got to make another game I could see them going to Baja California or Colorado, both feel right no matter what the "canon" ending is for new vegas. Also Cheif Hanlon has this line that's been stuck in my head where he talks about the NCR chasing ghosts in Baja.
But with Tim Cain not working at obsidian anymore it seems to me that we're not going to see another west coast game, at least for the foreseeable future. It feels like Xbox or Bethesda is not interested in a new fallout project, or there's something weird going on with development bts that were not aware of. For just bethesda I would bet on Chicago or Detroit for fallout 5 in 2032 ish. Till then and problay also when 5 comes out if 4 is anything to go off of, we'll endure pain, suffering and bad fan mods.
