Let's get Iguana Bob to cater. I don't know what seasoning he adds to those kebabs, but they're delicious!

I don't trust the meat you can buy out here. We can just eat pre-war preserved foods!

If you got to choose, what kind of game would Fallout 5 be? Where and when would it be set? Would it have any new kinds of gameplay?

I honestly would love to see a Fallout set in Denver, Colorado or somewhere in the mountains but I'm biased. I feel like the weapon and making ammo system could still be tweaked. I can't really describe it. New Vegas was a little messy but I did like where they were trying to go with it.

I would love to see the quirky dialogue options that Fallout 3 had again! The kind that could end up in a hostile encounter. Or if you made your character have really low INT/CHAR it made the dialogue for all sorts of entertaining. I really loved that and wish they hadn't moved away from it. This is probably just a dream though, since they are moving towards voiced protagonists. That's why I personally never asked for that.

And maybe instead of being a Vault Dweller we could do something along the lines of a different origins story? Like the courier but different, obviously. I'm not for getting rid of Vault Dweller origins completely! I just think we could do it differently sometimes. :D It would be kind of cool to start out in a vault in the middle of the war (not like 3 but like the really scary kind of vaults they had) and you have to deal with... all those scary issues in real time. XD But that might just be a me thing, lol.

Edited to add: It would be really cool to have an origins story dealing with a faction. Like the BoS or Enclave or Followers of the Apocalypse. There is a lot of cool lore that could be played with!

That sounds fun! :D I don't know anything about the Colorado mountains but I'd like to learn. I know most of what I know about the US from Fallout games lmao. (It's how I learnt that Washington is not the location of Washington DC...) Your ideas about being from a faction sound really fun too!

I don't like the sacrifices they make for voiced protagonists either :( Actually, I feel kinda optimistic about that 'cause of Starfield and what I've seen of that game so far. :)

I guess in FO2 we're not a vault dweller but the descendant of one, and the Sole Survivor is only technically a vault dweller. But I agree! I guess they love that "opening the vault door for the first time" thing. It's iconic since FO1 and again when we get to see it in 3d in FO3, and rightfully so. But we can do that to a smaller extent if we get, idk, trapped in a vault during a quest or whatever, too. If we are a vault dweller again, I'd like it to be really for real like in FO1, which hasn't been fully explored since then. And nobody could say the totally non-vault-related opening of FNV isn't also iconic!

that 'Washington / Washington DC' thing is confusing bc DC often gets referred to as just 'Washington', which fair, bc it's the name of the city and it isn't the only city named that.
