Wacky theory: Fallout Tactics 2, nuXCOM-style Turn-Based Squad Tactics.

The craziest idea I’ve heard is that they might remake the originals as FPS-RPG hybrids in the F4 engine. On the one hand, it would be an act of desecration. On the other hand, by remaking the originals Bethesda would finally release a game with decent content.

Pretty sure they would fuck up even that

Really though I would give them huge props if they got the Xcom guys to do a ripoff, possibly carrying on the Tactics brand.

A small scale 4x with exploration and combat focus in fallout setting would be so good. Building your own vault city from scratch, exploring nearby ruins, finding old tech, fending off raiders and various wastelands fauna. Obviously with a turn-based tactical layer for battles. Every member of your settlement having SPECIAL stats, skills, perks and inventory. Isometric 2d with fallout's gritty sprites and death animations. Not by bethesda, though.

My calculator and dect phone are probably the only computational devices in my house that don't have mom installed.

But I'm thinking about even smaller scale - individual figures instead of units, every one with complete set of stats and skills, which would determine their roles in a settlement. High INT - lab worker, combat stats/skills and high CHA - exporing party leader, etc. Thea the Awakening style. Research system based on finding the pieces of pre-ITZ tech, not just research trees. And combat should be a better version of F:T turn-based mode, with individual figures using items, wasting ammo and so on. So, all the RPG elements of original fallouts, but wrapped in a 4x.

Edited: I mean, you do not buy soldiers, workers and scientists, you encounter people in the wastelands, maybe sometimes a kid is born in your settlement, all with randomized stats. And later you develop them in to the productive members of your post-apocalyptic society. Equip them and level them up.
