Wishlist for Fallout 5 Protagonist

Sure thing, here it is:

Alright, so, Fallout 5… it’s like this big mystery that’s got all the longtime fans buzzing. Honestly, we might be waiting ages for it, yet there’s this wild energy in the air. Maybe it’s the whole Amazon Prime series that’s rekindled the love? I dunno, but we’re all crossing our fingers the new game’s gonna blow our minds.

Bethesda’s been super secretive. I mean, c’mon guys, throw us a bone! Nothing’s set in stone—could be anywhere, anyone as the new hero, and that’s kind of thrilling if you ask me. The last few games gave us fresh faces each time, so who’s to say? Fallout 5 might just flip the script and give us a protagonist with a twist while nodding back to some classics. Or not. Who knows?

Remember Fallout 4’s chatterbox hero? Yeah, fans had a lot to say about that. Some loved it, others… well, let’s just say there’s a mod to keep them zipped. A silent hero seems like a recipe Bethesda’s perfected over the years. No idea why I find that appealing, but hey, maybe it’s like slipping into someone else’s life without them yapping all the time. Games like Starfield are sticking with the quiet type, so maybe Fallout 5 will too. Feels right, y’know?

And the Vaults—those enigmatic, creepy bunkers we’ve all spelunked through a hundred times? What if they’re not center stage this time? New Vegas shook things up with The Courier, not a Vault Dweller, but still a clean slate. While we’re at it, imagine a hero with a world-wise and gritty backstory outside the vaults… intriguing, right?

Okay, let’s talk dialogue. Fallout 4 tried this new wheel thing for chatting with folks in the game. Sounds neat, but truth is, it wasn’t. Ever pick an option and regret it instantly? The struggle’s real, and it’s a character-building letdown. The old way was clunky but, honestly, a bit more straightforward. Maybe Fallout 5 will know to keep it simple where it counts.

Here’s a wacky thought: what if the next hero’s a Ghoul? Risky move, sure, but could resurrect the good-old franchise feels. Ghouls got their big TV debut, and who doesn’t love a gritty underdog tale? Surviving the wasteland while trying to feel human… there’s emotional gold in those hills.

Random tidbit: Season 2 of the TV series is dropping in December 2025. So, we’ve got that to hold onto while we wait for Fallout 5 to finally peek out from behind the Bethesda curtain.
