Honestly, I would prefer for a new post apocalypitic RPG game instead of using the old Fallout mythology, but that isn't likely to happen so I'll be happy with with Fallout 4.

Wasteland 2, Nuclear Union, Metro LL, etc

I'd like something that isn't made in Russia as well.  I mean, any game that takes place is Russia is post-societal collapse by default.

The Last of Us seems to have some outstanding reviews.

Whatever they do, I would like to see a revamping of the Hardcore mode. Still way too much carring capacity.

I liked the Hardcore, and the attention paid to the quests and world building that New Vegas had over Fallout 3.  Hopefully they follow in that vein.  I'd also like to see better AI.  It was obvious they just used the AI from Oblivion.  That's okay when everyone is armed with swords and bows, but when you have guns it would be nice if the AI had different strategies then "Stand there and Shoot", or "Run directly at the player".

I do remember an oblique reference from some Bethesda on how much fun the gambling was in Fallout: New Vegas.  Hopefully they looked at New Vegas and put in what made that a game great into Fallout 4.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

As much as I like the Fallout games, the 'fantasy' stuff in them like the giant scorpions and the super mutants do annoy me.

Ditto.  I made my peace with it, but it came close to destroying the game for me when I first started playing Fallout 3.

It's a game set in the aftermath of WWIII taking place in the 1950s.  Of course it's going to be fantasy.

I found the Fallout setting, complete with 1950s era sci-fi B movie concepts like giant irradiated scorpions, to be more entertaining than a generic and realistic post-apocalyptic setting.

No.

You should. They can be had for pretty cheap.

Yeah, I think some people just didn't understand what the games were trying to do.  They were not at all intended to be "realistic."  I can understand people being tired of the joke, but don't suffer from that, myself.

I actually have them.  Just never felt compelled enough to play them.  No way they'd be as immersive as Fallout 3 & NV are.

I get that.  I'd just prefer some of the fantasy monsters dialed back a little.

The fantasy monsters work okay for Fallout.  In the original game, it was sort of a riff on traditional fantasy games.  There were knights, a Thieves guild, a sinister cult, beast men forgotten ruins and an ancient evil.  But instead of traditional fantasy setting there it was post-nuclear California.
