Yes, they did.

Now I would like more.

Yep, keep the gameplay similar to NV. NV's gameplay was such an improvement over F03's, IMO.

Also hope they keep that multi-faction choice thing going. In 3 you were pretty much railroaded into helping the good guys, but in NV you had four distinct choices to make, which was nice.

As for setting, why don't we go to the Commonwealth?

Very little is known about it, and the Institute sounds like it could make for a very interesting antagonist.

Either keep vats and balance it more, or get rid of it all together. Its a get out of slaughter free card for the game.
Also, rumours persist that the next Fallout will be in Boston. The dev team was spotted out in Boston taking pics of landmarks and such making people believe they're getting an idea of the setting, and that the game will be Commonwealth vs Railroad from Fallout 3
Just a rumour though don't forget

Oooh, didn't see this post!

This has got me excited.

Fallout is so dumb. I want 64 player coop and multiplayer, moar guns, no more dumb talking. No moar stats. Only level ups like CoD. I think we need Treyarch or Sledgehammer make the next Fallout.

</sarcastic impression>

I would like for a change in place especially in terms of the setting being up north in Toronto (especially since there were references to it as "Ronto" in one of the FO3 DLC's The Pitt) to show what happened to Canada after it was subsumed by the Americans during the Pre-Apocalypse and if we have stuff like super-mutated caribou and deadly beavers . Though just my bias coming in as Betheseda already explicitly stated it was going to stick in the U.S.. A waste of potential IMO but I understand why.

I think that most of all I want no technical bugs (or at least not as much as New Vegas had, I hated how many times I had to save in the desert just in case the game crashed) and be very polished in terms of frame-rate. Also I think more variability when it comes to customization would be nice, with stuff like maybe scars, slight mutations or even some form of tattoo.

Game-play wise I think that for the most part it's pretty good with what they implemented in New Vegas but I think that combat should be a bit more fluid in terms of movement, give us an option to "sprint" and heck even allow us to hug cover instead of just crouching. Maybe even showing the physical aspects of battle-damage on armour would be nice to reflect it's degrading durability. There should also be some sort of transport option other than fast-travelling with some sort of passerby caravan that you can tag along like a bus so you can travel without having to go through a loading screen or physically walk there for 10 min. before you can reach it.

Other than that it would be great if they followed New Vegas' example and allowed you to choose between various factions again to provide the maximum amount of variability and options. I would in particular like to see the possibility of a resurgence of the Enclave that you can potentially support. That or a new faction of Chinese-Spy descendants that survived the war and continue to try and eradicate the remnants of Old World American ideologies like what the NCR stand for.

Yeah, a cover button would be cool.

Another thing I'd like to see in the next Fallout game is somehow making battles like the Second Battle for Hoover Dam or the attack on Project Purity actually feel like massive battles, not just a bunch of dudes lining up point blank and blasting away at each other without tactics or cover.

Be able to hit enemies with the butt of your gun maybe make it an effect similar to the one in left 4dead.

I say no to cover. Like it better if I run stand behind a wall, not get glued to it.

Also, I would love a Winter Wasteland setting with Environmental hazards like hypothermia, and having to wear stuff like coats or winterized armor to survive. Maybe add a whole new layer of clothing wear you have a bullet proff vest underneath your puffy Christmas story Jacket.

Towns that actually feel alive. The only settlement that worked for me was New Vegas.

Everything else is academic actually. The world has to be believable, first and foremost.

It would be cool if you (or somebody) could provide a game where popamole mechanics are good.

Also nice thread-necro skills.
