wait, louisiana is confirmed PoE 2 and not boyarsky/cain secret project?
Just like Kid in the Fridge being an easter egg for Indiana Jones, right?
What's Fallout 4 outside of the city of Boston? Mostly wilderness with a few smaller cities. Scale isn't really important, I'd say most of the world design would focus around New Orleans, some wilderness (not, not all of the area in southeastern Louisiana is swamp), and you can include Baton Rouge, and a couple of other cities. Actual Vaults, though, would be problematic around New Orleans unless they were underwater.How would a Fallout: N'awlins even look like? Like Point Lookout, just flooded, with a lot of black ghouls, because they weren't allowed into the vaults? PL was already too much of that swamp.
Heh, tho it would be awsome if such a game would invert the cliche and make a vault full of elitist afroamericans, looking down on the whities having to squat in the wasteland outside.
And that was exactly one of it's many problems. Boston proper had a few historic buildings to remember players where they are, but outside downtown they had to invent things like the Corvega factory, to bring at least something memorable to the otherwise generic wasteland #123. The focus on "build your own settlement" over premade ones with a little background makes it even worse.
Agreed. It's not like they have a shortage of cash or resources. If some modder can do world design on that scale in his free time there is no reason a paid 40+ hour a week employee of one of the biggest AAA publishers/studios out there can't do the same if not ten times better. I'm not sure I understand why their games take 4+ years to produce (assuming the rotations between TES and Fallout).
