They really shoulda. That's something I appreciate the modding community for, is there's folks making FO4 mods that let you just...clean more trash up from settlements.
This seems like kind of a charming idea for a Fallout spinoff, though! Less story-focused, more...not a farming sim by any means but it's focused more on just making and protecting a nice community. Surviving and thriving in the wasteland.
Unfortunately, there's only so much mods can do! Mods that remove trash piles from settlements tend to either require that you disable precombines (pre-bundled sets of meshes to reduce memory footprint and GPU draw calls), or mess with the precombines pretty haphazardly, either killing performance or crashing the game outright under loads the engine was simply not designed for 😔
But yea!! It's almost cosy? Granted, it's still a post-nuclear hellscape, at least to start out with, but you'd feel a real sense of progress, and dare I say it, hope, as you actually rebuild stuff. Or you could be an absolute turbo bastard and start the Enclave 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Can you imagine? A Fallout game that doesn't give the player the impression that Everything's Just Gonna Suck Forever? Perish the thought.
(I've. only played 3 and 4 so maybe 1, 2, and/or New Vegas do a better job at that, I wouldn't know)
I played 3 aaaaages ago, my dad had it on the PS3! I can kinda understand DC still being dead, as it essentially got carpet bombed with nukes. The White House is actually just a crater, even one of the vaults got hit so hard that the door jammed and the radiation outside is lethal after less than a second of exposure.
New Vegas was weird! Considering it didn't get hit very hard thanks to House, it's still in kinda rough shape. Didn't help that it was already a desert though, I guess. 4 was more hopeful in terms of colour palette, but not so much when you actually look under the surface. I've not really properly played 1 & 2 myself! But I remember they were really grim.
It would be interesting to see this type of game, basically actually creating something new in the world instead of only just recycling what's already there.
Yeah?
Yea! There'd still be a lot of recycling, to be sure, but you could choose to start anew in terms of society instead of trying to re-create the old world in part or in full.
Side quests to retrieve old world research, technologies, and supply caches would still be pretty cool, especially if you had the option to repurpose them.
