Will we see another Fallout game from Obsidian?!

I'm curious if they would make a New Vegas 2 (carrying decisions on some system like Bioware did for DA Inquisition) orrrrrr a new setting

Probably a new setting. They wanted to do the Boneyard apparently.

When asked about New Vegas 2, Sawyer posted on his tumblr in July "... personally I'd like to go to a location adjacent to the Mojave Wasteland. There are a lot of cool places around here."

So if not the Boneyard, it'll be some place close enough to Vegas that they can comment on the outcome of NV. I'm honestly curious which ending will be the canonical one, as I can make good cases for each.
 
They need to make a Fallout based in New Orleans, that would be so perfect. A city with a ton of old world culture and history, but in a setting that is a complete 180 to anything else that appeared in the series so far.
 
I think Obsidian should stick close to the West coast. Or Midwest and maybe show us the aftermath of Tactics. In this case it would actually make sense to have BoS as the antagonists.
 
I think it's in Bethesda's best interests to trade off, then they can do Elder Scrolls in the off year while Obsidian does Fallout. Everyone is happy.
 
I've said this before, but with so much emotional investment in the California area, I would love to see future games there, to continue the story of NCR, Legion remnants? Where do the ghouls go, aren't they in Dayglow? Vault City apparently turned pacifist, would be interesting to return there, maybe difficult to implement successfully - but interesting none the less.
What happened to the Shi? Will their influence grow?

We take for granted NCR marches towards glory, but what if they crumble? Lots of characters in FONV suggest that as a possibility, they are famously over-stretched, and struggle to combine a free and democratic society, with the relentless need to militarize its frontiers, how long can they keep this up?

And what happened to the Den guys!? D:

That's the most important question. I remember lending one junkie some cash and then returning to see him in a nice suit. I really want to know how he's doing, after all, being well dressed in such a... den is not exactly safe. :P

I thought about the Den during my last FO2 playthrough. Funny how things work, I visit the Den for the 900th time, before I suddenly get philosophical about it - but the name "the Den" strongly implies - well - a den!
I always felt like it was a city, with slummy areas. The "Den Residentials" (cut from the game) strengthen the perception of a proper city - only a city with a high crime-rate and lacking law.
But in the finished game, the Den is much more - a den, there's no significant residential area, and so it goes from feeling like a town to just a slaver's hub, one active enough to have 2 bars, one tavern, 2 stores, but all of them centered around the slavers (junkies can't shop expensive guns etc, they go to the drug-dealers, like Joey)

So... the way I see it, is that it does indeed depend entirely on the slavers - if you finish them off, the Den is most likely to dissolve as a community, with its citizens migrating to nearby Klamath or Redding.
With the RP installed (which puts the Den Residentials back in the game), the Den changes identity almost entirely, now having a whole residential area where families settle, children grow up (even happily and safely, depending on player choice), but the RP isn't exactly canon... so I'm guessing Den dissolved and dispersed... :/
 
i wouldnt mind if it moved to canada, the UK or someplace like that. i mean we have been pretty cut off w/ the rest of the world.

No! You fool! That would make my fan fiction non-canon! XD

Every previous Fallout game has just had "developers decide on the canonical ending for the last one" so I don't think they would change with this. I mean, the older games had outcomes that were really responsive to the player's actions and could be conceivably extreme (e.g. "the NCR is wiped out" in Fo1 or "the NCR becomes a military dictatorship" in Fo2) so there's no real reason to develop around those things conceivably happening.

Like a New Vegas ruled by Caesar is going to be vastly different than any other outcome, so I don't think it's possible or desirable to want to reflect every combination of player choices in the sequel.

I disagree. Fallout's core themes have always been about the progression of humanity in the context of their own violent and conflicting nature. War never changes, yet now we live in a post-post-nuclear world and human nature is still roughly the same. Where do we go from here? What is to come of this new world that was created by the same violent nature still present in humans today?

This is why Fallout 4's intro pisses me off, because we weren't really supposed to "experience" the pre-war universe, we were supposed to be a consequence of the conditions that the post-nuclear wasteland brought us up in. A prequel, in any sense, would be counter productive to the progression of Fallout. I really hope we don't see one any time soon.
