I don't have any FO5 ideas. I would be happy to play anything. Maybe unlike a lot of my fellow international fans, I don't have any desire to see a Fallout game set outside North America (though I'd like to hear about the rest of the world maybe?)
Of the existing settings, I prefer the West Coast setting, but I don't know if I want another game in it. Maybe if it were nearby enough that you heard a little about the NCR etc. but didn't really interact with them? That's for a sequel: I'd be totally happy with prequels set anywhere in between 2077 and 2281, ideally in a corner/faction/time we haven't seen yet :)
Gameplay-wise, I'd like more options to talk your way into/out of situations, and more use out of stats.
I don't want a return of the FO4 settlements. I'd love if it were more fully featured and you could actually build/destroy more buildings, and if there were more options for automation (like, the settlers build things when you're not there and don't need you to hold their hand all the time). I guess fewer options and more automation could also work (help them build their own pre-defined settlement). I love the idea of rebuilding.
I don't want a return to turn-based combat either, not in a 3d game, but I liked the FO3/FNV system where you could do a combination mode for weak characters (pipboy + relying on companions/other npcs/god). In FO4 I feel railroaded into playing as the world's greatest marksman which is fine and fun but a bit limiting roleplay-wise. I don't really mind how that issue is tackled, though, just that it is (multiple companions could work, too, for example).
Similarly it would be amazing if there was more/better stealth gameplay. I guess that's my closest thing to a new feature idea :) Maybe it is just because I am playing Thief, hehe!
