I would love a Fallout set in a European location, it would be a nice change of pace...but unfortunately it would be hard to do because of the Fallout Lore.
As for location, my money is on a West Coast outing, somewhere in California say San Francisco or a revisit to Los Angeles...personally I'd love to see what became of San Diego after the Great War, the military infrastructure alone would make it an exciting destination.
It was, being from Boston I am really excited about it, all of the Harvard and MIT stuff will give it some cool tech, not to mention the underground passage ways and secret jazz. HAving some kind of exploration to the harbor islands would be real cool as well.
Lol. I'm a die-hard Cowboys fan so I have a nice little cozy spot in my heart reserved solely for my Eagle hatred lol. Yeah, I think Philly would make for a truly amazing Fallout locale.
Right now id just be happy with an announcement, regardless of where its set. Well aslong as its not set in Las Vegas like New Vegas, being from Vegas I was very disappointed with the lack of interesting locations that I know Vegas has.
If i had to pick maybe New Orleans? Or Boston would be cool too, like it has been rumored for a while.
I was wondering that too. I mean Vegas is so big, but you have to think that everyone is so poor. A few casinos were probably all the population could sustain.
I kinda wish they took a different locale as Boston is similar to DC.
Texas (which is in cannon), London (just think of the soundtrack), and Italy (the land marks...and can all have a strange religious spin), all would be more interesting than Boston to me.
I'd really like to see it in Detroit, Michigan. The reason why is because in the Fallout universe it would have been one of the riches cities. The car industry was the second gold rush and that boom never crashed in the Fallout world. Like it did in ours. There would also be lots of underground cities to visit too, because of all the salt mines.
Plus seeing as in the Fallout universe Canada is apart of the US you could walk across the bridge or under the tunnel to Windsor. You would then have the added story about how Canadians don't want to be US citizens. Michigan was also the first place to have a military assembly line. So Michigan would be pretty well rich with all the military and car industries. Plus you would have the casinos too, like in New Vegas just smaller.
I've been sort of hoping for Anchorage, Alaska, as it's referenced in Fallout 3 and we get a taste of from the Operation Anchorage DLC, which I loved.
With the advent of survival games like DayZ, I'd love to see Fallout 4 use a mostly snow-covered environment utilizing survival elements of staying warm, seeking food, water, and shelter (blizzards), outfitting yourself, companions, NPC escorts, and perhaps vehicles with protection and capability of enduring the harsh elements outside, while also considering weight limitations, impacting stamina, mobility, etc. Not to mention the bandits, ghouls, and everything in between we'd expect in this world surviving too, and ready to kill you for instinct or your loot.
Nevertheless, I'll be buying Fallout 4 really no matter where it is set. I've played probably well over 1500 hours between Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
Earth's moon. You start there, intro, moon explodes launching fragments (enormous) sections of the moon outward, the fragment you burrow down into (your vault) enters the Earth's atmosphere and impacts, you survive and find yourself on an even MORE ruined planet than it was after the "fallout" from the nuclear holocaust from before. Ridiculous, but there it is.
I would LOVE for it to be set in Florida. My reasons:
-Two words: DISNEY WORLD. Obviously they won't use the ACTUAL Disney World, but they could still have a huge amusement park to explore, and maybe even have an amusement park-themed vault underneath it. Imagine a Vault populated by insane clowns, mascot-dressed maniacs and a Walt Disney-like administrator.
-The Florida Keys, which could have its own VERY weird culture from being isolated from the main land.
-CUBA. Having gone to war with China, it's not out of the realm of possibility that Cuba had a big part in the offensive against the States during the Great War. Having DLC set on the island would be friggin' amazing.
-Miami, and specifically Washington Avenue. Ghouls in bikinis, amirite?
I dont care what city/state it is based on as long as it stays in the U.S because of the lore but I would love it if they made dlc that is based on Australia ( the country im from) and other countries so we know what happened to the rest of the world in the fallout universe :). plus I wouldny minf seeing mutated Crocs , giant roo's, koalas, tazzy devils , wombat , emu's , dingo's , cassowary, platypus etc
How about when we can get our hands on it ?
I wouldn't mind London. But Texas would be good, so would Pittsburg and I would love Louisiana (pick a place).
Good lore here though.

i thought it was confirmed a long time ago that it was set in Boston
I'd heard Boston as well. I think Philadelphia wouldn't be too bad. Like D.C have the chance to see a lot of America's historical sites in shambles.
Hasn't it already been rumored to based in Boston/New England?
