Yep, honestly I think Fallout desparately needs a universe reset and reboot. The classic lore is fantastic, and some of the new lore, too, but now it just doesn’t make sense to itself.
Okay, you’re the new creative director for a bran new Fallout project. Tell me your vision. What would you keep? What would you change? What new themes would you introduce to bring it in to the 21st century?
Quite a lot, honestly, much of the changes would be focused on balance and power curves to better fit a scarcity-oriented worldspace. Power Armor would be tanky like 4, but there wouldn’t be so many suits or types, it would be rare like 1, 2, and New Vegas, for example, and Unarmed would be the weakest skill in the beginning and strongest at endgame, stuff like that.
For lore, though, I would focus on localizing factions and eliminating the reuse of factions that don’t make sense, and allow time to progress, rather than stagnate or even regress.
