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

2. Hawaii

Nuclear armageddon in paradise, isn't that a wonderful idea? The skeletons of people still lying in their sun-loungers around the swimming pools of seafront hotels, ravaged palm trees, and the azure blue waters surrounding the Hawaiian islands still being fatally irradiated after all these years. It's safe to assume that Hawaii would've received the nuke treatment during the Great War as well, though it'd be interesting if, across the islands, there were a few locations that were relatively unaffected. O'aku, where Honolulu and Pearl Harbor are located, would probably be completely blasted, to the point of being a lethal wasteland akin to the Glowing Sea. But each successive island moving away from the epicentre could be less and less affected by radiation. Or perhaps the nukes across the islands could've triggered a mass volcanic explosion (don't ask me how) on the island of Hawai'i, causing all the islands to be covered in ash, and the volcanic island itself to become a bubbling, burning wasteland filled with new, fiery mutations and monstrosities. Lore-wise, there isn't much of a blueprint for Hawaii, though it's fair to assume that it too has its fair share of vaults beneath the surface, and could contain some kind of power source - geothermal or tidal, maybe - that's being fought over by the factions across the islands. With its isolation from the mainland, civilisation would be made up of the offspring of tourists who were stuck on the islands, and Native Hawaiians - possibly ghouls - embittered that their paradise was destroyed over a war started by the US. It's hard to think of a way that the Brotherhood of Steel would've spread its influence to the islands, but maybe it'd be nice to have a Fallout game free of their self-righteous campaigning for a change?
