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?

It’s a shame that Obsidian lost John Gonzalez and so many others since FNV, but they did get Tim Cain (…“back” is not the right word, but it kind of is) so that’s something! I would definitely like to see a different writing team to FO3 and FO4 in any case.

I’m someone who likes the unnecessary areas, feels more like I’m really exploring this world. But I think they’re in FO1! I mean like half of the Boneyard is just there to explore right? And the big one is wandering into Shady Sands! I guess you could say you were slightly sent there because you were told to head in that direction?

I would hate a time limit haha. I get stressed enough in FO1 even though it’s so extended by whatever patches. :)

Shady Sands is necessary for the game - if you don't stop there, you're not likely to get into Vault 15, since you need a rope. I know the beginning of FO1 better than the later parts, so I don't remember a lot of the Boneyard.

But, exploring the location once you get there, is ttly cool. Finding locations on your way to somewhere else, also cool. But stuff off in the rando corners that you never visit, unless it's an Easter Egg - why?

Time limit - I'd only want them for parts of the quest, not the whole game.

[vegetablearian]

I think you can eg fail to find the rope in Shady Sands but follow the clues about trade from people there and head to the Hub to buy rope? But I see what you mean about being lead towards/through it even if it's not strictly a MQ location

A time limit for parts of the game could be pretty fun! But yeah, for the whole thing it would curtail exploration... or at least leisurely/thorough exploration!

[highlander_ii]

yeah - if you fail to find the rope in SS you're pretty much hosed until the Hub. technically, i think you could finish the game w/o ever visiting V15, since it's kinda just for some early XP.

the time limits - or 'limits' - in FO1 are incorporated into the game. if you don't save The Glow before a certain point, the ghouls are all gone; and if you don't find the waterchip, you lose - unless you complete the final boss quest before the time runs out.
