Fallout 4: 10 Next-Gen Improvements We Want To See

8. A Larger Map

Fallout: New Vegas This might seem somewhat unfair and demanding on the developer given how ridiculously huge the maps in all of their games have been, but damnit, I want more, especially if the next Fallout game dares to go the MMO route. This isn't to say that I want more desolate landscapes to endlessly trawl, but I want greater accessibility of the US; if the rumours are true that Fallout 4 is going to take place around Boston, then I want waypoints that will allow me to travel throughout the mid-west and perhaps even beyond. I can surrender a little of the immersion by quick-travelling to places if it means that I get to see a greater variety of the world rather than yet another dusty trail. I want to see famous monuments destroyed or covered with moss; I want a little more diversity compared to what we're used to, fantastically realised though these environments admittedly are. Again, I expect Fallout purists will insist upon a seamless map, but personally, I feel like these games could use a little stream-lining.
