Probably the setting that people most want to see, and that's most likely to happen on the info we have so far, LA was one of the most heavily nuked areas in the Great War. Years later, the area was repopulated by people who took shelter in one of the few fully-functional vaults built by Vault-Tec, who emerged in 2092 to create a sprawl of settlements lovingly known as the Boneyard - on account of its skyscraper skeletons, high body count and a general state of decimation. One of the ways in which New Vegas distinguished itself from the other Bethesda Fallouts was in the fact that the world felt more populated, with plenty of settlements scattered around the place, alongside the buzzing city-hub of the New Vegas Strip. The sprawling LA area is suited to create a similar tone, and it'd be great to see the fate of organisations like the New California Republic (which controlled the Boneyard as of 2281) and the western Brotherhood of Steel after the events of New Vegas. Then there are the obvious landmarks we'd all want to see given the post-apocalyptic treatment. Who wouldn't want to see a decimated version of the Hollywood sign, check out the desecrated mansions in the hills, or an alternative-history take on the Walk of Fame? Strolling a radioactive Pacific Coast would also be a nice contrast to Fallout 4's icy Atlantic. Tantalisingly, when Obsidian talked about a sequel to New Vegas, the CEO threw LA/The Boneyard out there as his preferred setting, so if there is a forerunner this early in the location for another Obsidian Fallout game, it's this.
