What I'd like to see out of Fallout 4

As most may have already heard, word through the grapevine is that Fallout 4 is likely to be taking place in Boston. Boston MA, home of Fenway Park, JFK library, and Oh yeah... The Commonwealth. Which means only one thing children; tech. We're talking about more robobrains, plasma pistols, and gauss rifles than you can shake a chrome-plated stick at. And let's not forget our loveable cyborg friend Harkness from Rivet City, Lord knows there was alot of grey area in that quest and possibly only more cotroversy to come if there's more where he came from.
But listen to me drone on, you all already know this crap. What your probably wanting is some creative new ideas for the next generation of Fallout and possibly to voice your own. So with out delay here are a few ideas for ya.
1. Gun Mods; the new gun mod system was a fun little treat to toy around with but I'm not satified. Gun Modifications should be taken to a completely different level in the up comming game. I'm talking about skill and perk based modding along with a moding system that forces players to choose one or the other. IE: ligther stock for faster draw verses heavier stock for more stable aim, night vision verse higher opticle zoom (possibly both with higher levels), supresors and elongated barrels, extended clips or casing catchers. But that's not all toss in a limit to the number of mods and we're in buissness for a much more diverse and realistic gameplay.
2. Personalized charachter classes; why should all you Skyrim junkies get all the fun? I say move it on over bring the party to Fallout.
3. Bring back Perks new and improved; the perk sytem in FONV was made light by the fact that you got one every other level, scrap that Bethesda and take us back to the good ole days where we got something to look forewared to at every level up. Not only that we want choice based perks similar to the ones gained in FO3 when you self irradiate or when you kill the tree in the Oasis.
4. Armor: Weapons aren't the only thing you should mod, let's put active camo back on stealth suits. Maybe add a dash of predator heat vision on that combat helmet. Hell how about a drop sheild on that power armor this is the future damn it.
-Well children those are my ideas so far I'd like to get creative ideas from other so do your thing

Third person perspective so climbing abilities can be introduced.

caseh4076d ago

FO3 had 3rd person if I remember correctly.

bwazy4075d ago

As did New Vegas... What are you getting on about Godmars?

Godmars2904075d ago

It had climbing? Environments you climbed? Figure third person would have to be default.

caseh4075d ago

No climbing but it had 3rd person which wasn't the best to be honest. You could still have climbing in first person though i.e. Mirror's Edge.

thunderlove4075d ago

It's definately an interesting proposal but I'm afraid it could take the 1st person shooter element out of the game, then again a climbing system could be implemented in 1st person I mean they roughly have one in COD

Godmars2904075d ago

The point is to introduce a climbing mechanic to an open world game would likely cause issues in first-person, whereas in third you could still go into first for targeting. Have the option.

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai8h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken8h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Valkyrye6h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken5h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

Inverno3h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop2h ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Chocoburger3h ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer2h ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

badz1491h ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Profchaos1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.

A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC

Why Monopolies In Gaming Must Not Be Allowed

As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.

thorstein7h ago

Shouldn't be allowed in any field.

Inverno3h ago

And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.

jwillj2k42h ago

Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.

MrCrimson1h ago

tech is different because they buy threats and then kill them. Twitter bought Vine and did nothing with it. Despite people seemingly liking it. Could've had tiktok a decade before bytedance. go figure.

Zenzuu3h ago

Monopolies shouldn't be allowed regardless. Not just for gaming.

MrCrimson1h ago

They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -

Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.

Sciurus_vulgaris1h ago

The Locust trilogy concluded with Gears of War 3. I don’t get how Gears 4 and 5 are “woke” .
