Fallout 4: 10 Best Fan-Demands That Must Be Included

Bethesda can draw from millions of ideas at this point.

With a certain Bethesda employee cracking under the pressure and letting slip that there'll be a 30 minute demo at E3 this year (if you believe anonymous sources anyway), it's throwing a few trucks-worth of coal in the hype-furnace that one of the most anticipated games of all time is finally arriving. Fans have debated constantly since Fallout 3's 2008 release the pitfalls and successes of the franchise overall, as developers Bethesda favour expansive open-worlds packed full of secrets, references and gameplay choices - oftentimes at the expense of polish, refined animation or the most immediately enjoyable gameplay. Forever a trade-off, it's the reason Fallout never ascended to the heights of something like the masterful Skyrim (although that itself still had plenty of bugs and game-breaking glitches). However, after developers Obsidian took over for the last instalment and released New Vegas, it provided an alternate location with a slew of key additions that many still say is better than Bethesda's main instalment. Now, with the latter developer back in the driver's seat and a very lengthy time between titles they've had lead duties on (Skyrim was 2011, with Elder Scrolls Online being handed over to ZeniMax Online), surely they've been listening to the thousands upon thousands of suggestions online about what to do with the next Fallout? Here's 10 of the best, ranging from the occasionally obvious to those that would elevate the series further into the realms of gaming's must-play greats. Note: 'Way less glitches' goes without saying at this point.
