Fallout 4: 10 Locations That Could Be The Next New Vegas

Fallout 4 is still in its early days - so early that we still have several big, wholesome DLC packs coming our way in 2016, which should keep us wandering the wastes for hundreds of hours yet. But with the game now out and the initial blast of excitement subsiding, you can't help but look at the series' track record and wonder if in the next few years, Bethesda (or Obsidian) will treat us to another entry in the series - a Fallout 4.5, if you will; another New Vegas. 2010's New Vegas is, by many fans, seen as the pinnacle of the series since Bethesda took over as publisher. Unlike Fallout 3 and 4, it was developed by seasoned storytellers and RPG legends Obsidian Entertainment, who were founded in 2003 from the remnants of Black Isle Studios (Fallout 2, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate). The storytelling pedigree Obsidian brought to New Vegas was evident, the arid Mojave Desert setting felt like a blast of fresh, irradiated sand smattering our faces, and although reviewers were fixated on its lack of technical progress over Fallout 3, it felt like a far more refined experience. Obsidian already said in an interview with Rock Paper Shotgun back in 2013 that they'd love to do a New Vegas sequel. That being the case, to help keep it tied into the events of New Vegas and visually distinct from the east-coast vibes of Fallout 3 and 4, it'd seem fitting for it to take place in the broad vicinity of the western United States. So, with that in mind, here are 10 locations that would be perfect for the next Fallout spin-off.
