you know what I love? Fallout trailers. in the style of New Vegas and Fallout 3 specifically. I keep thinking about hypothetical versions. I also love 76 using a song to indicate where its set. for example, if they were to set a Fallout game in New York: We see a radio flicker to life. It starts with that ink spots riff from "Maybe" and "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire", before transitioning to Frank Sinatra's big band playing the opening choards to New York, New York. The camera pans back. Its a portable transistor radio, on a seat next to a skeleton. It further pans outwards. The seat is a train bench, the trains itself of course wrecked in a station. A faint, scratchy "Stand clear of the closing doors" Echoes in the background. The camera pans further back, the station roof is collapsed in, allowing the camera to pan smoothly to the street, out over City Hall Park and the city hall itself, the background filling with tall buildings. It continues, following a road up and across the river until we finally stop with the Manhattan side tower of the Brooklyn bridge visible, part of one of its arches collapsed, and we linger on a shot of the lower Manhattan skyline. Call me, Bethesda

#I was thinking about the mechanics of a NYC Fallout recently #It would be fun #I'd place the bomb in Central park to have that be a unique environment and to make sure lower Manhattan is still existing #You could easily isolate Manhattan if you're looking to limit the play area #but I'd say include a condensed long island for variety #Just cut off Jersey and the Bronx and your play area is limited pretty naturally #I'd place the BOS in the UN because well lets be honest they'd love thatVa #I think having the guardian angels would be a fun faction #and a mobster faction #Vault-tec office on Wall Street #A main settlement in grand central #So many possibilities #you could even base the plot on that folks are coming here tryign to make a life for themselves from across the wasteland. very NYC #Idk if the enclave should be there but if so #maybe they own Ellis Island #anyway I'm just rambling but I'd like to see it #but also not because I feel like these games are at their best with somewhere semi-obscure #New York feels almost too obvious #It also probably got flattened in the lore I havent checked
