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

5. Portland, Oregon

Oregon; the land of vast forests, stunning mirror-like lakes and... cannibals, hordes upon hordes of tribal savages who won't hesitate in skewering you with a spear or knife the first chance they get. That's according to Fallout 2, anyway, and as far as we're aware the hero of that game didn't do anything to clean up that mess in the long run, so there's still some fun to be had there. If the next Fallout was set in Oregon, there'd be some overlap and lore connections with Fallout 2, and the southernmost point of the map could feature a now-thriving Arroyo. But for the most part, things would take place around the city of Portland - minus the progressive values and hipsters that came to populate it in our timeline in the 60s. Instead, it could be a more 50s (and post-apocalyptic, of course) vision of the city, filled with vice, organised crime and seedy nightclubs - in other words, it'd effectively stand in for the buzzing New Vegas Strip from Obsidian's last Fallout game. Beyond that, it'd be great to wander the nearby wilderness, and perhaps even climb the scenic Mount Hood. Interestingly, there was a huge New Vegas modding project (that kind of disappeared) called Fallout: The Frontier, that was to take place around the Portland area of Oregon. In this non-canonical scenario, Portland is a snowy wasteland (because nuclear fallout), and the NCR and Caesar's Legion are locked in battle over some as-yet unknown secret the area holds. It'd be nice to see a couple of new factions thrown into the mix too, but tying it into the New Vegas plot in some way would be a great way to create a sense of continuity between the games.
