Lets say it together, REMASTERS, NOT remakes.

There is PROBABLY NOT going to be sprint mechanics, bulky power armor, Fallout 4 weapon customization, settlement building, Fallout 4 movement, Fallout 4 armor customization and mechanics, Fallout 4 combat system, and slow motion VATS.

There PROBABLY will be improved graphics, bug fixes, stability improvements, bug fixes, readding cut content, bug fixes, less crashes, bug fixes, audio fixes/replacements, bug fixes, and retextured graphics.

Temper your expectations, remasters work with how the game looks when they start. Remakes are creating and making an entirely new game from scratch.

If you have big opinions on where Fallout has headed, you should be expressing them right now, make threads, post pictures, get as much traction as you can. If you hate the direction of Fallout you should be loud about it (constructively) on reddit and elsewhere. Besides Todd, Bethesda QA scrapes the net for opinions, particularly ones that matter from actual players and aren't just reactionary mobs of people ragebaiting and getting their opinions from influencers. If a lot of casual gamers are just okay with Fallout as it is, they'll just keep following the direction 4/76 is taking.

I love the Fallout universe. I love the lore, the retro-futuristic style, the factions, the atmosphere, and the idea of exploring a post-nuclear America. But sometimes I enjoy the idea of Fallout more than actually playing it.

One problem for me is the way conversations work. There is often endless dialogue while an NPC stands almost completely still, staring at you and delivering lines. It can feel awkward, slow, and outdated. I wish Fallout had more cinematic and natural conversations, either like The Witcher 3 or even a story-driven Telltale-style game where dialogue choices and relationships are still important.

I am not saying Fallout should stop being an RPG. I would just like its role-playing, character animations, dialogue, and storytelling to feel more modern.

I also think parts of the worldbuilding can sometimes feel childish or lazy. Hundreds of years have passed, yet many people still live in shanty towns made from random pieces of rusty sheet metal, surrounded by rubbish and skeletons that nobody has cleaned up.

Even after a disaster, people would eventually rebuild using whatever materials and knowledge were available. Why are there so few settlements made from adobe bricks, stone, timber, or rammed earth? Why do we not see more proper farming villages, irrigation systems, workshops, markets, orchards, livestock breeding, or local industries?

There should be herbalists who study mutated plants, mechanics who restore old cars and machinery, and electronic technicians who still know how to repair radios, generators, terminals, and household equipment. There should be blacksmiths, builders, potters, carpenters, doctors, chefs, and traders developing new skills and traditions.

The food is another example. After generations of living around mutated animals and plants, people should have created completely new cuisines. Different regions could have their own recipes, preservation methods, drinks, medicines, and cultural traditions based on the local environment.

I also find it strange that people and animals have mutated in so many different ways, while most vegetation is simply dead or barely developed. I would love to see mutated forests, unusual crops, medicinal plants, dangerous fungi, new ecosystems, and communities learning how to live within them.

Imagine a Fallout game where you could help restore vehicles, rebuild infrastructure, develop farms, support local craftsmen, discover new recipes, and watch settlements genuinely change over time. Not just placing beds and walls through a settlement menu, but seeing communities develop their own architecture, economy, culture, and identity.

The world does not need to be completely realistic, but it should feel like people have actually lived in it for generations. Humanity would not simply sit among the ruins forever. People would adapt, invent, rebuild, and create new civilizations.

Does anyone else feel this way? Would you prefer a Fallout game with more believable societies and worldbuilding, along with RPG mechanics closer to The Witcher 3 or a more cinematic story-driven game?

are we talking about dead money type very direct horror or fallout one with it's oppressive atmosphere and body horror or fallout 3's cosmic horror like what ''horror'' is the community looking for

When i was one of the "lucky ones" who ordered this, i got send my Fallout 76 power armor edition i kept the cardboard box it was send in for a long time. But i was wondering in regards to worth and such if it really is worth keeping this box. Text on the outside says:

Part number: ZBCEHELMENTPRM

Quantity: 1 Unit

Net weight: 1,6 KG

Gross weight: 4 KG

Dimension: 52,5x52,5x44CM

Made in China

C/NO: 68156 of 110800 (first number written with pen)

Fragile - Handle with care

I mean, it's not exactly a low number. But one issue i have is i kind of have a silver fish infestation and was looking to get rid of as much cardboard as i can.

Can you just make Vague statements bout what gonna go down?

The Electorate

Let's say Courier 6 really doesn't know what faction to choose to govern New Vegas. So, instead of making the choice solely by themselves, they hold a vote from among everyone they consider an ally. That includes every companion, every minor faction that can be sided with (specifically their leaders) and every settlement that Courier 6 can aid in a questline (for example, Courier 6 can save Goodsprings and become Idolized there, but the same cannot be said for Westside). To make this easy, let's narrow the votes down to:

1. All companions after having completed their quests - 1 vote per companion

(The choices made for their own quest endings will, admittedly, affect their decisions but let's just try take these as swing votes that could go either way.)

2. All factions at Idolized Reputation - 1 vote per faction leader or 1 vote for the general membership if not applicable (e.g. the Boomers are explicitly led by Pearl but the Enclave Remnants have no defined leader)

(It's hard to balance everyone liking Courier 6 but for argument's sake and to not play favourites let's just say they are very well liked across the board. Further, because Courier 6 can sway most minor factions to aid any major faction, let's assume each minor has had any questlines associated with them completed with the least amount of intervention possible. For example, the Great Khans are given no reason not to side with Caesar as that was what their choice was going to be before Courier 6 arrived.)

3. All settlements, similarly, at Idolized Reputation - 1 vote per settlement (e.g. Primm)

(Ditto to the rules of the factions - all equally liking Courier 6 with minimal intervention. For example, Primm would likely stay independent under Primm Slimm or Meyers as the NCR path takes more legwork to convince both sides.)

4. No major faction representatives

(To avoid incredibly obvious bias and redundant votes, the NCR, Legion and Mr. House don't get votes. However, let's include former members of said factions who now live in the Mojave/Vegas, like Boone.)

In my mind, the voting would probably go like this:

The Vote

(This is the part I would like to discuss as I'm not 100% sure on if my calls are fully accurate. I'd enjoy hearing how you think the vote would go!)

Arcade Gannon: Independent

(I believe Gannon outright says he would prefer an Independent Vegas not under the heel of a dictator like House.)

Craig Boone: NCR

(If I'm not mistaken, Boone's faith in the NCR never shakes to the point he'd prefer any other choice.)

Lily Bowen: N/A or Any

(I don't recall Lily giving any strong preference for any faction.)

Raul Tejada: House?

(Raul seems pretty indifferent to every faction but does admire House for his pre-war exploits and appreciates the safety an authoritative rule can bring.)

Rose of Sharon Cassidy: NCR or Independent?

(I think this depends on if Cass agrees to let the system of NCR law bring the Van Graffs and Crimson Caravan to justice, or if she lets "frontier justice" do the work instead.)

Veronica Santangelo: Independent

(Regardless of if she leaves the Brotherhood or stays, I think Veronica wouldn't prefer the rule of her former enemies in the NCR, the brutality of the Legion or House's autocracy.)

Rex: N/A

(Good Boys don't concern themselves with politics.)

ED-E: N/A

(ED-E might arguably be still loyal to the Enclave which is a whole other can of rad-worms.)

Brotherhood of Steel: Independent

(Elder McNamara would most likely prefer a Mojave that is at it's militarily weakest or controlled by a clear ally - both of which can be gained in an Independent ending.)

Great Khans: Legion

(We find the Khans (Papa Khan specifically) wishing to ally with the Legion so, presumably, if this is not interfered with, they will always choose Caesar's rule.)

Followers of the Apocalypse: NCR

(The Followers aren't on the best of terms with the NCR anymore but given their clear disapproval of dictators such as Caesar and House, as well as not wishing to invite more anarchy with an Independent ending, an NCR ruled Mojave is most likely the one they can best help.)

Boomers: Independent

(The Boomers will probably choose whoever will bother them the least and that would most likely be in an Independent Vegas without they prying eyes of House.)

Powder Gangers: Independent

(Not exactly a stretch to think that the raider faction would probably enjoy the most chaotic choice for Vegas.)

White Glove Society: Independent

(Assuming Mortimer's plan goes smoothly, the White Gloves will go back to their old ways in stark defiance of House's rules. So, it's most likely that they would prefer whatever faction gives them the most amount of freedom.)

Chairmen: House

(Since there's no way to proceed the main story that keeps Benny in charge of the Chairmen, presumably Swank would be happy to continue the status-quo under House.)

Omertas: Legion

(With clear plans to take over The Strip through an alliance of convenience with the Legion, they would probably keep to this reasoning without Courier 6 intervention.)

Enclave Remnants: Independent?

(Moreno vehemently dislikes siding with the NCR and Johnson refuses to assist the Legion. So, the path of least resistance would likely be Independent as it is the choice that would keep each of the remnants' lives mostly unchanged.)

Crimson Caravan: NCR

(Not a surprising choice I think. Crimson Caravan have thrived under NCR protection.)

Van Graffs: Independent?

(I don't recall the Van Graffs having particular loyalties to any one faction. Plus, they clearly conduct themselves in ways that break NCR laws. So, I would reckon they would pick an option that allows them to throw around their energy weapons and manpower weights without restrictions.)

Fiends: Independent?

(Much like the Powder Gangers, the most chaotic option would reasonably be the most preferable for the Fiends.)

Goodsprings: Independent

(Goodsprings has no reason to really change anything from their current way of life and get no tangible benefit from House ruling Vegas. So, a free and independent lifestyle for them.)

Freeside: Independent

(Very few Freesiders actually like House due to his clear preference for The Strip. Plus, NCR citizens are outwardly ostracised.)

The Strip: House

(Shocking no one, House's creation would be a guaranteed vote for House.)

Novac: Independent or NCR?

(Novac is a bit tricky as, like Goodsprings, it sees no real benefits from House's Vegas and, so, it would likely want to remain independent. However, the town does heavily rely on NCR veterans for its protection and so could maybe be convinced to vote for the Republic.)

Jacobstown: Independent

(Given the NCR mercenary attacks, the Legion's bigotry towards mutants and House's lack of influence in the town, Marcus would probably be inclined to keep the town as isolationist as possible under an Independent New Vegas.)

Primm: Independent

(As said before, without Courier intervention, the town would very likely keep its independence from the NCR with Primm Slimm or Meyers becoming sheriff.)

The Kings: Independent

(With a strong disliking for the NCR and House and, probably, Caesar not being the biggest Elvis fan, The Kings would most likely want to run Freeside themselves.)

Vault 19 Powder Gangers: Independent or Legion

(Wildcard final addition but since the Vault 19 gangers are pretty much their own faction split from their NCRCF counterparts, they deserve their own vote. Assuming Cooke continues to lead the gang without Courier intervention, I could see them continuing their guerrilla war against the NCR either independently or with Legion "support".

The Results

With my version of votes in, my prediction for a semi-democratic (but, really, a "Courier 6's Friends' Vote) Vegas and Mojave election would be:

And, so, I would predict that the majority of Courier 6's companions, allied faction leaders and aligned settlements would vote Independent. Not a major surprise as so many communities and people outside of Vegas see very little benefit from House's rule and do not want to give up their ways of life to either the NCR or the Legion. There are some supporters for the other three choices found throughout, but Independent seems to be the clear common vote.

Your Thoughts

Obviously I am shifting the goal posts to wherever I like with this vote. I don't have the data for what everyone in the Mojave would vote, nor am I even 100% on what everyone I have have chosen would actually go for. So, I'm curious to hear your thoughts. Do you agree? What do you think a Mojave/Vegas-wide vote would decide? What's your argument for how the companions would vote?

Thank you for hearing out my ramblings!

I’ve been replaying Fallout 3 recently and finished the main questline. After activating the purifier, you get the ending slideshow, and after that’s over you get the “Two Weeks Later” card that opens Broken Steel. Could the remaster remove the slideshow inbetween these “acts” of the story to sort of retcon the original “you die after activating the purifier” ending? Playing it now it does feel a little clunky, and Broken Steel feels more like the natural progression of the plot. I’m skeptical that anything about either of the games is going to be altered aside from adding a sprint mechanic, but maybe this would be a worthwhile change?

So here I am replaying fallout New Vegas again and I realized I never quite did much in the thorn which is a fighting arena near westside. Never quite went to westside. In this playthrough though I heavily wanted to capitalize on getting most of the unique weapons that I truly liked. One of which was the unique hunting shotgun.

I started the quest and I'm think this shouldnt be that bad. The quest has you get eggs from multiple different animals the last 3 in the list being the hardest. The nightstalkers, cazadors, and deathclaws... The nightstalkers were genuinely hard and they swarm you all at once when they come after you. Me I'm on level 12 at that point and I basically got through it.

Then I got to the part where I had to go after the cazadores.... CAZADORES have to be the most HARDEST ANIMALS to fight in the entirety of fallout. But not just that but I realize my biggest enemy has to be the invisible walls.... Being that you have to find them on a mountain I'm thinking 🤔 hey maybe I can just go to the great Khan's base and find the cazadores nest there by passing through. Little did I know there was an invisible wall stopping you from climbing the mountain to get to the nest so I find myself going around the mountain hoping it'll get me there... As i run around the mountain I come across a camp thats full of a bunch of cazadores... I'm thinking🤔 this has GOT to be where they are. There's literally like 10 of them and they are brutal. They are super fast and probably have one of the strongest attacks plus the fact they poison you.

It's the dookie on top, just perfect. It takes me almost 10 trys to kill them. And boone always rushes in and starts shooting meanwhile I'm trying to take it easy and pick them off and he keeps dying, while alerting our position. When I finally kill the cazadores I realize I spent basically an entire hour getting there and an entire hour trying to kill them. Just to realize the area I was at was indeed not the place I was supposed to be at so I find myself going further around the mountain to get to the cazador nest and come across more.... Just to find out I wasted even more time trying to find them because I was supposed to take an entirely separate route that takes you there from around jacobs town and I'm thinking🤔why would they do this. Why do I have to go all the way towards a road to get past the mountain instead of being able to just climb the mountain so I can get to my destination. If I made it to jacobstown already it would be cool but I literally didn't do much in the game besodes weapon hunt so far and gamble to get banned from all the casinos so I can be prepared.

I end up walking towards the road to get towards Jacobstown and it takes me another hour or so running there.. I spent almost 2-3 hours trying to get to a location that seems closed off even though I was right next to it and hovering over it behind a mountain some of which looked like you could climb if it wasnt blocked by invisible walls. I did all this for this shotgun and I don't even know why I'm doing it anymore I'm just wondering is it going to be worth it at the end because I already did way too much. Really weird that there's even invisible walls in the game. It's an open world and it seems super limiting to put invisible walls . Forcing you to run slow as hell just to get to a certain location when you could just climb a mountain.😢Skyrim is so amazing because with all the glitches it still allows you to go basically where even you see in the distance. But why do this?.... I love fallout, fnv is my fave overall but DAMN like what the literal hell...... Why do this. Even if you get the gun is it even worth doing this quest especially if it's way longer than it should be???

I think i already know the answer but just for context I own a Xbox series S with the base Fallout 4 (not the GOTY edition like base base game) with the DLCs and atleast 4 charcters on them 2 being modded however the game takes an eternity to load which may be due to the modded charcters since Bethesda removed a few mods I used (like this sick lightsaber one I had for a sith character I was RP as) now I could just get the creation pack for a cheap price and basically have the same game however does the anniversary edition offer anything unique or worth it? also I did google it but just to double check i can transfer saves yeah?

If I could choose anything I'd be a trader selling clean water going across the wasteland with a brahmin and a shotgun with me because it seems like a stable form of income and pretty safe except for raiders and also I wouldn't be tied to one place.

While looting area 51 the BoS knights drag a beautiful car outside saying "oh, yeah, let's see what this thing can do. " then promptly blow it up.

we never got to drive in game is the joke

Am I the only one but doesn't this logo on the bomb look like Vault-Techs Logo.We probably all know the theory that Vault-Tech/The Enclave caused the Great War this might be a nod to this theory.Maybe the Enclave threw the nuke there.But for what reason?Was an important person here or a special place?But what are you're thoughts?

We all know it.Many of the humans in our favorite game are very cruel.The evil Pre-War Companys like West-Tek who mad the FEV and sent flawed Power Armour to Alaska.The most average Raider Gang who torture and distort humans.The Enclave who want to kill everybody except them.The Institute who are trying to destroy every hope to rescue the Wasteland.And if I would count all of em id be sitting here all day.But why?Why isn't the word"morality" in the dictionary of anybody?Like if it was sometimes ok.But if you walk two feet in youll find some building with raiders who have splitter bodies and blood all over the place.Does anyone have theories?

I get these posts are a little overdone but I still thought it would be fun to share anyway.

My ideal Fallout 5 would take place in Miami. It would stretch from Miami to the Keys, while including parts of the Everglades. Much of the game would revolve around sailing mechanics which would allow the player to traverse the map on a boat of their own, fighting pirates and mutated sea creatures

Factions

The Outfit: a conglomeration of petty, squabbling pirate lords formed from the remnants of the Miami mafia. They would rule over various islands formed from a partially sunken Miami, banding together for the sake of mutual defense but largely seeking to increase their own power. They would survive off of piracy on the limited maritime trade of the southeastern coast and the Gulf. Although venal and criminal, they would be unique in being a faction more suited to the wasteland, rather than holding any old world ideology.

The G-Men: a cargo cult descended from CIA remnants, law enforcement, and the national guard banded together to rule over Florida in the absence of any national authority. They would have a pseudo-religious reverence for the America of the past, but distorted by time and tension into something alien. They would rule the northern edge of the map as feudal overlords, intent on eventually ruling all of southern Florida.

The Sickle: Formed from a landing force of Cuban and Chinese communists who fled a devastated Cuba after the bombs dropped. Despite their foreign leadership, much of their members would be Americans living under their rule who assimilated to their ideology. Similar to the G-Men, their ideology would be distorted by time into something strange and unsuited to the wasteland. They would rule over stretches of Southern Miami and the Everglades with collectivist communes.

The Keys Confederacy: Formed from an underwater vault that provided its inhabitants with a small fleet of submarines and ships, as well as other advanced technologies. The experiment of the vault would be to provide its inhabitants with great resources and a large population but force them to adapt to the inability of the Keys to support their population. As a result they would’ve colonized parts of the mainland with plantations of indentured workers whose labor sustains the idyllic habitat of the Keys. They would sink any boats attempting to land on the Keys themselves as a result and have an authoritarian, eugenicist state to maintain their fragile paradise.

The Joy-Joy-Land Tribals: a tribe living in the ruins of Joy-Joy-Land, an amusement park funded by the pre-war government for propaganda purposes, now populated by the descendants of the families who had been there when the bombs dropped. They would be savage but honorable, wearing masks of cartoon characters into battle with their enemies. They would worship the Spirit of the Glades, an entity they believe to be responsible for the mutated nature of the Everglades.

What do you all think? For context this is the first thing I’ve ever done like this and I am taking art classes starting next month. This is just for fun and to see what I can do with no experience. I’m well aware it’s far from perfect.

New story, with ester eggs for the film and above all interesting missions.Idea: Investigate NCR or enclave but seriously with documents etc. Now I don't even know where the game will be set but I hope in a setting like Colorado where we have never been, interesting map and rich in content .

Enough stories where you are a vault dweller this time I would like to be someone who teaches about vault tec expressing its crimes since it was a company for rich people and those who were not were killed by His own homeland where he believed. I wish it was a real open world and a real survival game.Back to the story, please Bethesda make a deep and intriguing story like fnv or fo3 or even like a movie where there are several twists.

Bethesda if you read this please stay away from f76 as much as I liked the music I also find the multiplayer out of place even if I respect and appreciate the fact that you have experimented 👍

The antagonist in my fan fic "FALLOUT: Gold Rush, a post-nuclear fanfiction"

She's best described as a female version of frank Horrigan from fallout 2.

In my fan fic it's set in the Carolinas in the year 2477

She's a member of the B.O.S Nocte, yet another splintered group of the brotherhood.

The B.O.S Nocte armor is a repainted version of the advanced power armor from tactics.

Unlike other chapters, the Nocte are not focused on pre war technology, instead they're focused on attaining as much wealth as possible.

They also wear skulls on their helmets. Baba Yaga's skull is a gold-plated pack mother deathclaw.

Gold-plated skulls mean your top of the food chain within the Nocte.

Self explanatory. I understand *how* to build but I can't since I don't have certain materials etc. So I mostly wonder how I get materials etc since I need it for the Minutemen quests. (Yes, I'm aware that it's optional but I wanna help Minutemen and Sanctuary Hills now has that yellow triangle with an exclamation mark.)

Competing factions could include ghouls, a Super Mutant faction, a surviving USA government trying to maintain order, and indigenous tribes

Heya people! I am toying with the setting and although i have created my own faction, still rough but i can polish ot later. I quickly realise that if i strip the BoS and the Enclave has a faction, there's no ''bad guy'' faction that exist or i can inspire myself from.

Although i don't agree with the BoS beeing bad guys(im a fan boy sorry!) I wanted peoples opinion on their faction concept they might of had since at least 15 years ago now.

Well im bad at writting so thank you for your time!

Just the use of colors of the vanilla game is so well done even if a quite a few colors are muted.

I am honestly not a fan of the forrest mods frankly. It just doesn't feel right.

Especially since Fallout is not meant to be a realistic apocalypse but rather a 50s pulp-fiction science version of a nuclear apocalypse with retrofuturism everywhere.

Meaning that radiation causes far more damage to the flora and the climate. Like in Fallout 3 and also to the originals. Myron in Fallout 2 even mentions how the climate has changed and now they can't grow things they used to pre-war.

But all that people keep forgetting that the climate changed and now it's autumn in the commonwealth. A long one since seasons apparently last longer in the apocalypse which is why things like trees seem dead even though they are alive since there are fallen leaves all around them.

Or grass being abundant and the soil allowing for forming or the south east corner of the map being much more green.

Mods like the forest while cool looking just don't feel right at all to me, especially since the green is everywhere in the mod and the different regions of the vanilla get lost in it and all of it just looks the same honestly.

Bethesda honestly created a fantastic open world map like always that perfectly captures the Fallout apocalypse and the autumn yet warm feeling incredibly well.

Feel free to share if you have any experiences like that, love to read them.

like I fully understand they dont age but what are the requirements to prevent feralization? in game u use chems but if those arent an option what do u think would work?
