If anyone even remotely connected to the game shares anything, players are quick to ask whether it's related to a New Vegas sequel. It's clear the appetite is there and fans are ravenous. So how can Bethesda win their audience back, while we wait for the launch of Fallout 5? A sequel to New Vegas. So where are we going next The smart money is on remaining in the east of the US. All the newer games seemed to be set on the east coast, only Fallout New Vegas and the original 2 Fallouts were set in the west. Fallout 76 saw players move back south to West Virginia. While we have to respect Bethesda's ambition to grow, innovate and push the boundaries for one of the most popular franchises in the world, this was a stretch too far and one they couldn't afford to get wrong. Fallout 3 was in Washington, before moving north to Boston in Fallout 4.
Its post-launch didn't get much better, with fixes slowly being drip-fed into action and the addition of seasonal content two years too late. While this is largely fixed in recent updates such as the Wastelanders DLC, most will have given up by that point, as the game suffered from huge performance issues at launch some of which still plagues the game today. It featured the same repetitive missions and tasks with little dialogue and few characters to interact with in-between. The new RPG was online-only, meaning you couldn't inherently enjoy the world on your own and what was there was incredibly boring. Things became even worse once Fallout 76 launched, a game that really wasn't ready to launch when it did.
