What would also be brilliant is if they include an option to use an external tablet/phone as your pip boy. They should create an app which links to your PSN/Live account and give you the option of removing the in game pip boy. They could package the game with a watch like strap in order to attach your phone to your wrist

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

If they combine the scale of Skyrim, the NPCs of F3 and the quests of New Vegas this could be something incredibly special.

But yeah, New Vegas with the scale of Skyrim would so just nicely.


PS: The NPCs weren't that bad

First and foremost, the game will take place in Boston, and be kind of a direct sequel to Fallout 3 with a few groups returning.
-From what it sounds like, "The Institute" is pretty much the downtown DC or New Vegas of this game. Boston is going to be unlike anything we've seen in a Fallout game before, with buildings more on par with cyberpunk and retro-futurism.
-Androids play a big part in this game. The railroad from Fallout 3 is a faction. The enemies of the railroad is "the Plantation" -- a group who force Androids to farm so that Humans can get food. The Institute is highly advanced and probably obtained or built their own GECK to start a farm.
-Due to complaints about using Super Mutants and the Brotherhood of Steel in Fallout 3 excessively and going against the lore too much, Bethesda has decided to avoid using these groups. Bethesda wants to make a new "race" (think Ghoul, Super Mutant) which will be central to Boston. Bethesda is currently looking at Lovecraftian fiction since Boston is around "Lovecraft Country".
-Bethesda has no plans to reinvent the leveling up system to make it more like Skyrim and want to make Fallout 4 more distinct from Skyrim since of the complaints that Oblivion and Fallout 3 were too similar. Bethesda is thinking about introducing a system, similar to Skyrim, where your skills can level up if you perform certain tasks.

The combat being hard is really not something I'm interested in in Fallout. I just want to explode heads, that's all the satisfaction I need.

Also Fallout 3 > New Vegas in almost every regard.
