Imagine ghouls suddenly jumping out from the snow giving you a good jumpscare.

Perhaps we'd see some leftovers of the Chinese army that managed to remain in the area after losing the invasion? Like the one dude on the nuclear submarine in fallout 4

The Russian faction could be composed of remnants of the navy at Vladivostok who escaped the radiation present in the city and blown into the area from northern China.

As amazing as this would be, we all know Bethesda would still have us fighting deathclaws, super mutants and radscorpions. No new creatures to worry about.

would love to see if the enclave would be capable of regaining contact with mount weather or somewhere more central, if the game were set after the rigs destruction

Russia in the fallout universe was still part of the Soviet Union before 2077. It is quite possible that there is a faction like the Soviet version of the enclave in post war russia.

Hawaii is a state I think could be another interesting state to explore. Imagine radoactive reefs teeming with mutated abominations, beware the leviathans. There may be dangerous lava fields and caves to explore. Pirate raiders, and new exotic wildlife could fill the wild jungles.The plot could be about the various islands warring for control of the archipelago, or the Chinese remnants seeking to claim the islands for themselves while the divided natives struggle to oppose them.

i would love to see a US Remnant group and Enclave (also a US Government group) go head to head without the brotherhood of steel being involved and making it so we can actually join the enclave and get a ending with them while working with them all the way

Hmm. Enclave forces in Alaska would make sense, as does most of this video.

It's been one of my biggest dreams to see a Fallout set in Alaska, so to see this video is to see that potential realized even further. I even had faction ideas highly similar to yours, with things like military remnants, rebels, and natives, though the military remnants were Chinese rather than USA and the rebels were simply rebelling against them. The Russian Empire idea was new though, but the closest thing I had was a church-themed faction like the Children of Atom cranked up to 11.

Dude, Bethesda should honestly hire you if you would ever want to work for them, because with your ideas, Fallout would be great again (when it comes to lore, quests and features… hell, if you were a lead director the game would actually turn out great)

Maybe there is a second unknown oil rig somewhere of the coast of Alaska held by the enclave would be cool

I love to see the enclave again. Specially seeing the enclave have newer power armor. Even newer energy weapons even other equipment. Even new factions and specially no more brotherhood of steel. As I love to see one game with no brotherhood in it. Anyway these is not a bad idea.

The combat could be similar to Fins fighting Soviets during the Winter War, a huge role of skis, with even machineguns and metal shield covers mounted on top of them, as well as some smaller cannons and grenade launchers

As an Alaskan, I would love to see a fallout game set in my home! I would like to see a less snowy environment closer to sea level, with the snow getting deeper and deeper and the temperature getting colder and colder the further you went into the mountains. Perhaps leading to the need for heavy winter gear and snow shoes to even reach the enclave bunker. Great video as always dude! Can't wait for the next one!

I could see a game like Fallout setup like New Vegas with some features from fallout 4. Each factions having its own winterized uniform and weapons centered around certain calibers of ammunition. For example, The U.S. Army remnant would center around .45 caliber and 5.56x45mm. A game set in Alaska would be a frozen forest wasteland that wasn't really touched by nuclear fire.

Enclave troopers with eskimo clothing would be amazing

A nuclear winter could actually last long enough to affect the events in fallout. At least, some models suggest the average global temperatures could drop for hundreds of years. But it would get progressively less pronounced. It also wouldn’t be a nuclear winter per se because we’re talking about average global temperatures so there’d still be hot places and seasonal warmth. (It wouldn’t be a global winter) Still, the winters would be colder than they are now.

You know what I'd like to see with the idea of an Enclave in Alaska? The idea of the Enclave being more good, or more moral in general. You could justify it pretty well, as like suggested, they've been isolated and on their own. It would be perfectly reasonable to have them follow a more noble version of the ideals and goals of the Enclave. It'd be a nice twist on the Enclave always being the bad guys. And you could still keep shades of grey from the more mainstream Enclave.

well if the enclave might be in it, i think its quite a good idea

Man, now you got me wishing that something like this someday happens Would me awesome, maybe even DLC where you cross to Russia or deeper into canada

if they do make a fallout alaska, they better not put too many super mutants, at least a couple, like a small neutral colony who's leaders consist of the masters former army and add 1 or 2 of them in a raider group consisting of ghouls and humans.

6:30 I could see the native Alaskans either being a military faction like the legion (just a lot less Rome Larpers) or being more like the new canaanites, or maybe some collaborates to another group who knows.

I’m actually Alaskan myself and yes these are all great points. Fallout: Anchorage could work. Mabye have a DLC about Juneau being a Eden due too how unimportant the city is strategically. and ECT

I feel like the Ozark region could make a hell of a fallout setting. Or a great plains setting would be a nice change of pace

I would love to see Power Armor with a Heating Element Crafting Mod. It keeps you toasty, but consumes a bit more Fusion Core Energy.

I've gotta say, an enclave in a game like this would kinda feel a bit overused, like how the brotherhood is in the east coast games now. Although something small like the remnants bunker in NV could work, with maybe a misc quest that you can find out that they were looking for fuel for their vertibirds. A backup idea for the US military remnant group could just be military supplies. The amount of trains and cargo vehicles transporting old military equipment that remain in anchorage would have enough for thousands of people. I'd be interesting to have raiders and people wearing different parts of combat armor, like one may have a helmet, while the other might have a chest and a left leg. Just an idea to consider

I clicked so fast that my brain couldn't register how fast it was

0:40 well based on current knowledge and debates. There shouldn't be any radiation left by the time of Fallout 1. Experts still bebate how long radiation will last after a nuclear war but the current estimates are 1 to 5 years. The longest I've ever heard is around 20 years

This is really interesting because there is a group of mod authors trying to make this happen in Gary's Mod. It really is interesting how some of these ideas just get done by the fanbase.

Your videos really pique my imagination! While its certain we're not getting another fallout for a long time, one can hope it would be as good as this video.

I always imagined what remains of the US and Chinese navy's formed a civilization somewhere.

I live in Alaska and I absolutely love this idea I am currently writing about an Alaskan fallout from my own interpretation but the enclave and military will play a pretty big role I dunno but I love this idea ❤

Protagonist wise I thought of two options: 1: the survivalist. You’ve been alone for as long as you can remember. Maybe trading with the other factions here and there, but you’ve lived a tough yet fulfilling life alone. That is until your homestead is attacked by raiders. You’re forced to flee into the icy forests while everything you’ve built for yourself goes up in flames. After finding a stash of gear (determined by your tag skills) you attack the raiders in turn, wiping out their camp. An Army remnant squadron approached the destroyed camp and is impressed with your work, and offers you shelter at one of their camps. Option 2: The multiple choice route. You could start the game as the survivalist as above, or as a member of one of the main factions.

Would be really interesting seeing fallout without deathclaws and mutated insects since the cold would be too much for them to handle. Although it would be interesting if they had seasons in game with different types of enemies migrating

I feel like lower BC would be a great place you could have several well know major players as well as the Canadian resistance. You have Vancouver Island and it's surrounding islands ripe for discovery as well as Vancouver itself with a major naval base. You would also have the lower main land with all those smaller cities but with farm land and mountains. There is also the northern wilderness to discover which if you have been to its simply breathless. My DnD group did a campaign using modified rules with the naval base holding a pre war super carrier that was docked. We had the factions of enclave, brotherhood of steel (the northern faction), Canadian resistance, and a group of locals all trying to claim the super carrier a d its endless trove of prewar technologies. We had minor factions too like a legion infiltration/ sabature group who was trying to destroy to stop any one faction from getting it. The only problem was the base was guarded by power full robots and an army of ghouls who got more ferocious as we got to the carrier because wouldn't you know it had not one but to nuclear reactors with one of them leaking radiation. Oh man it was tough the Dm was awesome and we had a lot of great role-playing moments. We all died in the end trying to get to the carrier (ghouls killed us). To see that as the next fallout game would be so cool.

I would love to see a northern setting for Fallout as a Canadian, but if they ever do that, I would also like to see the Canadian resistance still fighting the Americans, since America basically annexed Canada to secure supply lines to Alaska. With the apocalypse, it would be interesting to see how both forces remaining in the area still fight each other, both for their perceived heritages and nations and to try to bring them back. If the setting was also more British Columbia than Alaska, then you could even have far more elements of the old world present due to the general sparse population in Canada. Less out right devastation and more just wilderness and the isolated pockets of civilization in the mountains

would like to see what they do with the midwest. since tactics cannnonicty is in question and how bethesda nit picker some events from the game for 3 and 4. it would be interesting seeing it revolve around restoring the railroads infrustructure in order to maintain control of the region. enclave would play a big part from what we know from ed-e coming from their before arriving into new vegas.

An Interesting faction could be a larger Chinese remnants, perhaps consisting of a force that after the war mounted a last ditch invasion amd got trapped there. I'd imagine they would be based out of a small fleet frozen in the ice with their only working ship being a submarine that's trapped under the ice so the only way for it to surface was for them to cut away the bottom of one of their ships to make a make shift harbour for the sub. They could act as a counter to the army remnant as they would promise an end to the harsh rule of the army. Though they would be as bad if bit worse. The army remnants would be torn do they stay with the Enclave who have been distant at best as they weight on any orders beyond hold what land they have. Or do they relent to the civilians an esentaly become a new nation like the NCR. As for the Enclave their ideal until they finnaly receive no new information from Control station Enclave, believing their the last remnants of the pre war government they move towards reclamation. As for the Russians I'd see them using their own currency though as for how big this empire is I'd say its based in Magadan so it's a small state with their goal being to take Alaska before launching the reconquest of Russia. Though i think they would very much be on a time limit for their conquest as the baring straight would only be safe to cross in winter as that's when the ice is thick enough to move men across. I'd see the natives siding with the Russians due to proximity though they wouldn't be against forming their own nation or allying with others. Just some ideas I had interested to hear feed back

I would love to see smaller factions brought back that you can get to fight for either side again cause that is so fun trying to get all the allies and then sweeping the Legion at Hoover dam

The ideas that come out of this channel make me squeal like a little girl thinking of all the amazing possibilities

This is an amazing idea. Alaska is one of my favorite states. And has a great environment. For the US Military remnant based faction, I'd like to see it be kind of like the Rangers from the Wasteland series, or in a sense the Desert Rangers from NV, they'd bring protection and law to the territories under their control, and have a form of government known as a Kritarchy. This would be a unique position they'd be in, since we never get to interact with the Desert Rangers, and the only other group who has a similar set of ideals are the Regulators, but they don't have significant power in Fallout 3. So they could go in depth and explore that element this time around. Also, I think that having furs in this game would fit really well. Not only for character customization, but also economically. The Great White Wastes(as I'd call them), could have a huge fur trade, another thing we haven't seen much of in Fallout. And it'd give you another incentive to hunt, besides needing food to survive and keep warm. I also think it'd be a great chance to break away from the typical 'Im a hero' mentality of games. You could choose your backstory in the starting menu, and it'd give you a unique beginning, and influence how you start, but you could choose to leave that faction and walk the wastes or join another faction later on. I feel this would be great for replayability, and player freedom. It could be similar to how you play ESO(though obviously more grounded).

Honestly this gave me a lot to think about for a custom Fallout Wasteland Warfare Setting for Alaska I made [Rambling beginning now], primarily centered around an Enclave-Splinter Faction: The Alliance, a military-led democratic Nation State headed by now Captain-General Chase, centered in Alaska with several surrounding factions vying for control over the biggest city in the area, including HOI4 Old World Blues's Washington Brotherhood and a Russian tsarist invasion force. [Ramble Ended] Thanks for all the (unintentional) writing advice!

I've always wanted to see a game set in Alaska. The snow would be a beautiful setting, there would be a lot of factions (native survivors, standard fallout survivors and raiders, a Chinese enclave, Canadians, descendants of old world military), you could easily make a DLC into Russia even if just to Big Dionede Island (first Fallout that leaves America).

as someone who lives in Alaska i can say there is no way that bethesda would be able to map the whole state. They would just use the interior as a template probably around anchorage. Which, by the way, we get summer here.

Thanks for covering this up this idea has been stuck up on my head for the last 3 years.

If a Fallout game had a Monarchist faction of some kind it would probably end up being my favorite (since I'm a monarchist IRL) and I'd be so happy lol.

Not big on bullet currency but otherwise I like your ideas on unique economies. Maybe a gold based system since the Yukon was famous for the gold rush

A cold fallout area works for wasteland three I love to see a bit of Canada if they go to Alaska

Every time you upload my day becomes made!

As in Alaskan I would love to see a fallout in alaska. I always thought that a fallout in Alaska always made scene. Fallout 3 didn't tell the whole story. If a fallout in Alaska was made it would probably compete with fallout NV. (Just my opinion tho)

I’d imagine a Fallout set in Alaska would look similar to Far Cry 5/Far Cry: New Dawn’s Hope, Montana

as long as the need to eat, sleep, drink, and stay warm all stays in survival and survival only than I'm cool with these ideas.

Everyone talking about wanting to see the Enclave again and I'm just sitting here wanting to see the NCR again, even if a very minor presence in Alaska. I mean they should have ocean capable ships at this point with how well they've been able to rebuild, so wouldn't be out of the question to see them send expeditions up north.

One thing that came to mind after you mentioned camo polar bears was Yao Guai Kodiak bears(just look them up, they're pretty awesome), and the possibility of going back to the deathclaws prototype, the wolverine, so thanks for getting my mind started on loring for Alaska. Edit; completely forgot about the monstrosity that would be irradiated moose.

Bottle caps could absolutely be a currency. I was stationed at Eielson and the military fucked up the water so bad up there that every week Uncle Sam had to deliver water bottles to people who lived in the areas around the bases. From what I gather, we have quite a few years more of bringing water bottles to the locals.

If this happens similar to how you described I would like to see a dlc where the old military and BOS join forces or something like that

A sort of Canadian faction like how Caesar read about Rome and made the legion would be nice

a ghoul tsar Nicholas XVII taking Alaska for the empire would be pretty epic

All great points here 👍👍 Talking about the currency of different areas/factions I'd love to see the values of the currencies change dynamically to reflect the success/decline of factions during your playthrough. Imagine saving up a ton of "Minutemen money" and then subjugating the entire wasteland with them to become ludicrously wealthy 😁

I really like this idea, I get the feeling like fallout new vages you'd have long stretches of nearly preste wilderness to wonder thought. I would love some kind of mount system something like a mutated horse or mouse would be the cheapest early game mouth and sometimes like skis middle of the road good for stealth players as you can move at speed while snaking or just quiter. And jet skis would be the end game mount I would have a lesser version of the tempter system eg cold during snow and rain storms on the easyer difficulty If we still have sentiment management I want to be able to elect a major or something to handle things while im gone and and tell me what the seller needs

Current Canon i think points to toronto being a civilised settlement so I think it would be a Canada vs Alaska type scenario, you could even twist it to make the Alaskan enclave the good guys of the region.

As an Alaskan, I remeber the day the Operation Anchorage was announced, heck I was IN Anchorage. It was front page news. Let me repeat that. It was front page news. Why? No idea, but it was when the papers were getting thinner and thinner and I think they were starved for stories. Considering the only similarities to real life Anchorage were just the names... I

the money is idea is interesting if it is implemented well and the factions have something worthwhile to get for the trouble.

it would be cool if DLC would take place in the Yukon as another region to explore

Alaska gets hot half the year when it's non stop sun shine. It's not snowy all year

If snowboards were added, someone would definitly made an SA2 City escape mod.

I made up some factions for Fallout Alaska: -Major faction: Sinos: the decentents of Chinese invaders and Native americans, Can ally with SSAR and Alasks Major Faction: Новая Российская империя (New Russian empire) the remnants of the Russian Peasents who are from Siberia, the empire is half the size russia now is, with the entire western russia being annihilated thus not being a part of the New Russian Empire, can ally with Canada Rangers and Alasks -SSAR (Soviet Socialist Alaskan Republic) a combination of Russian Tourists and Chinese invaders which are ruling with a stalinist regime, Can ally with Sinos -Canada Rangers (kinda like Desert rangers just in alaska) willing to help anybody in need, polite as always, always say sorry to their victims, Can ally with New Russian Empire -Alasks: a Native american tribe which were staying at a ski lounge when bombs fell, the Last A in Alaska fell off when bombs fell so their decentants thought they were in Alask instead of Alaska, they live isolationist in that ski lounge, throwing snowballs at anybody they saw come near and worshiping Snowmen as Totems and Statues, can ally with Sinos and New Russian Empire Major faction: NUAA(New United Alaska Army) pretty much US army with white camo combat armor and laser rifles, can ally with Enclave Enclave: Just watching over everything, kinda like House. Can ally with NUAA

I’ve always wanted an Alaskan fallout

I think the Rebels, same as possible native factions, might use either ammunition currency, or exchange-trade. Simply echanging goods for other goods.

You convinced me at snow. Alaska is now my #1 location for the next game

Maybe the rebel faction could take over the part of Alaska that sticks more in between the pacific and Canada, that would make sense to me.

The idea of an enclave mountain base sounds sick af.

Dude, hell yes. I would kill to play a Fallout game set in Alaska, with the Enclave returning, maybe encountering 20-year-old remnants of Chinese invaders, and meetings Russians for the first time in a Fallout game? Sign me up!

I'd love to see a Native American faction in the NE part of the map

Nice Video Idea.

A concept from the HoI4 mod for Fallout, Old World Blues is something I'd love to see. Bellingham/Koover. Being a major pipeline town, and the staging post for the Alaskan campaign, as well as a focus for the Canadian resistance, when the bombs fell, there was a high rate of Ghoulification there. After significant conflict, the remaining ghouls form a stable community that is open to outsiders. A combination of Canadian freedom fighters, US garrison troops and veteran US Alaska troops makes a powerful, anti-US, anti-raider faction, not interested in a return to the old ways, which they can remember

At first I was against the idea of an Alaskan Fallout but you’ve showed me that it has a lot of good potential. Unique creatures. They could add a bunch of winterized T-51bs because of the army camps. And if Bethesda does this right and add good factions like the Enclave it could feel like a really good fallout. Imagine seeing Enclave and some other faction fighting it out. Hell who knows maybe even Chinese Remnants. If Bethesda wants to make their games way earlier in the franchise(fallout 76 being set 25 years after) they could add the Enclave somehow.

At last, the nuclear winter those Mojave patrolmen were talking about

Faction idea: like the ncr Canadians wanted a return to the old ways and decided to rebuild the country they had once had, however the prime minister insists that a multi party system would tear the country apart so he abdicated after creating the Canadian council a group of young but still experienced leaders to represent the people and their interests. After hearing of the situation in Alaska the council agrees to assist their people in the west. Halfway through the game the Canadians appear during a big confrontation between the rebels and the army and enclave. The Canadian army lands in verta birds and in patriotically painted power armour. The army and enclave flee, you are either taken prisoner or told to come with them depending on which side you pick. The Canadian army would ally themselves with the Russian empire and both the allied factions would fight at the old battlefield of anchorage Alaska for a final showdown.

Could be really cool if based with Anchorage in the center, with travel both into the interior and to the islands and coastal areas. Anchorage is strategically very important to the US so it would be a target of nuclear weapons, but it is also home to a large military presence.

Idea : What if the Mojave Chapter of the Brotherhood of Steel won in Operation Sunburst and Father Elijah still remain as the Mojave Brotherhood elder (there is reference from the HOI4 mod Old World Blues).

Maybe the goal of the Enclave could be to take over leadership in the army. Doing a coup or something like that.

I would love to see a Fallout New York, settlement inside of skyscrapers, or landmarks for example the wtc would be in a Fallout style

Random idea to add onto this, alaska versions of super mutants could be a different color from green and maybe not hairless. Since the desired outcome for a super mutant is to be effective in the given environment, a super mutant could be more like a Yeti then their green hairless brothers

Maybe your power armor could freeze up sometimes, leaving you stuck in your power armor, or making your power armor unusable for a little while, so you have to have to drag it around until you can find a way to make it unfrozen. This could lead to Fusion Cells not being needed until you are able to find an upgrade that doesn't make your power armor freeze up. This would probably be for basic Brotherhood types of power armor, and then the ultimate Enclave Armor would be the end-game armor. This could be considered a retcon as the armor in Operation Anchorage doesn't freeze up (but that can be explained away because it is a simulation), and there are no records of power armor freezing up, but you could explain that with the nukes made the cold much worse. Just an idea

I would imagine Bethesda would make a reference to our character from Fallout 4 or the characters from operation Anchorage. If anything, Alaska could be a DLC location with a map just as large as California will be in Fallout 5. Raiders would likely be wearing furs as the clothing under the patchwork armor. It would also be a very good idea to mention China in this Fallout, as in, Zhao from Fallout 4, rebuilding China without the communism and such.

I Love your Videos

I like to think Alaska was too important to be bombed by all sides, leaving it mostly unfucked by radiation. Making it a utopia by Fallout standards. Whatevers left of prewar humanity end up coming to a shakey truce, until you come along.

Oh man. I would LOVE a frozen wasteland fallout. Maybe even with survival mechanics like frostbite

I think it would be cool to have a faction in a Alaskan fallout to use styer augs and p90s. Both guns have appeared before in fallout tactics and 2 respectively. Also. I imagine that the factions would probably be fighting over the oil in Alaska which would be cool and fit the themes of fallout because they would be fighting over the same resource that sparked the sino-American war which ended in nuclear fire.

It would be an NCR patrolman's dream

Dude Fairbanks Alaska isn’t even that much colder to the northern Midwest like in Minnesota it’s usually the same temp I don’t think you’d have to look to Alaska to find your winter wonder land

Wherever the next actual fallout game takes place I absoloutly hope the settlement system will still be implemented

Considering Alaska has stores that accept gold and silver I suspect that would be the currency.

This is very interesting, I like the idea of it too... Bethesda should higher you to look over the lore of their next games

Maybe even a adaptation of native Alaskan folklore like what 76 did for West Virginia also dogsledding dip-netting kayaking skiing/snowboarding bush plains helicopters (vertaberds) icebreakers gold-panning/mining etc

it would be very cool some kind of gold rush aesthetic in a fallout alaska

Honestly i would love to see fallout expand on the lore around Denver and the surrounding area (Yes i live in the area) but in real life the airforce base in cheyenne, wy (100 mi north of Denver) holds the 90th missle wing and is heavily rumored the the two guys with the keys are located in our Base plus we have the countries largest oil and coal supply in the lower 48 states

I suppose in a post war world, the lack of industrial activity might lead to a global cooling effect from all the missing factories. Thus making the north much colder then it has been since the industrial revolution.
