Greetings and salutations, I hope everyone is doing well.
When I heard the idea that Obsidian would like to do another Fallout game, it brought a smile to my face. So here are some ideas I had marinating in my noggin. I really love how Fallout 4 was improved, but also sadden that the story lacks so much.
1. Fallout: Texas – The time line takes place 15 years after the events of New Vegas.
i. The NCR now controls the Dam but Vegas still falls under House’s control.
ii. The NCR expansion now controls the North West, South West, North and most of the Four States Commonwealths.
iii. The NCR believes forced assimilation is what is best instead of trying to work with their neighbors.
iv. As NCR pushed hard for Hoover Dam, they are now reaching out for NORAD Command HQ.
v. The Plains Commonwealth currently holds NORAD for the time being knowing they will be next once NORAD falls.
vi. Mexico is having loads of problems with the raise of a new super mutant master along with the feral ghouls that is spreading a new disease. If you are bitten then later killed you will raise back up as a feral ghoul. As these problems are spreading out into Texas.
vii. The main character starts in Texas in a mega vault which does NOT have a number, but called “Black Mountain” because of the location. In Texas there is a mountain range called Black Mountain and there is where the mega vault is built.
viii. The mega Vault is owned by Sid Richardson III which was still alive when the bombs fell but later had his brain placed into a brain tank so he may watch over the people. Unlike the other vaults that seemed to be death traps, this one was actually built with the intent to rebuild America if the bombs fell.
ix. Sid Richardson family line was a stable family compared to other rich families and understood how much family matters. A happy families means more people which in turns means more money is to be made.
x. The Mega Vault is just that, a huge ass vault that houses 1000’s of people. To build such a large vault a town was built less than a mile away so the works could live close by. The vault would have 2 standard exits, two major vehicle bays that holds not only construction but also military equipment because war never changes. Also one major hanger bay that would house heavy lifters and other helios.
xi. Dallas and Fort Worth has been wasted with some radiation.
xii. After several missions out onto the surface, a major quest will take the player to retake Laughlin Air base after it fights off a major infestation of raiders.
xiii. I would love to see drivable vehicles and helios.
xiv. I would love to see the vehicles selection expanded to included M270, A-10 warthogs or something close, Hummers, Motorcycles for normal, armored and power armor versions, M-60 tank, usable APCs from FO4 but increased in size slightly, civilian vehicles up to 1965.
xv. Major Factions: Black Mountain, NCR, Plains Commonwealth, Texas Rangers & The Horde.
xvi. Minor factions: BOS, House and maybe remnants.
xvii. The story would be centered around you but you have several choices like staying with Black mountain and helping to defend and rebuild Texas. Leave and join up with the Plains Common wealth and play your life as a bounty hunter. Leave and join up with NCR and help them take NORAD and Texas.
xviii. Keep the settlement building in but make it functional.
xix. Lastly just maybe make it PC only because consoles limit the possible full potential. The only reason I suggest this is look at Star Citizen and there is no way something like that could ever run on current consoles.
