The California Literary Review has its second part on where Fallout 4 should be based in order to best reflect the character of Fallout. In its first part they argued that Fallout was both a western and post apocalyptic, and that Fallout 3 based in Washington DC did not convey that appropriately.
In the second part they suggest several alternative sites including New York, New Orleans, Colorado and Santa Fe as locations that would make a better setting.
Discussion about the first article can be found here.
I think Alaska would be a good place, a change from the scorched desert wasteland to a harsh frozen one (think metro 2033 city) Also before the nukes it had already seen a 10 year war, and there would be weapons, equipment, power armour. Chinese remnants could play a bigger role in the plot. It would also have a feeling of taking it back to where it all began, this is what set the world on a course for the apocalypse.
China, OMG can you imagine being the remanant forces oh the USA in a hostile country in an already hostile land.plus if it was in Bangkok, once she has you she will never let you go
the only reason i have not bought NV is steam! if fo4 has steam, i most likely wont buy if ether, i hate steam. but if i do, i to would like to see more stability less CDTs, more diverse voice acting. more diverse weapons, i was quite unhappily surprised at the lack of selection, at least add all the ones from the other fallout games. more possible companion NPCs. i dont really care where it would take place, though i do think west of the mississippi would be a better choice, but that may be because i played everything from wasteland to fo3. i fear fo3 will be the last for me ">
My guess is that Boston'll be picked due to its 'new' history from Fallout 3 that could make compiling a storyline that matches with Fallout 3 well easily... The Commonwealth, the mysterious Institute, Boston's somewhat close proximity to DC (maybe BoS, Enclave, or a new techno-warrior faction presence), large enough city (with a subway system) to make those who liked FO3's Capital Wasteland atmosphere happy, and surronded by enough wilderness to make NV fans happy.
Let's hope the FO4 Dev Team took cues from the modding community and added the cool, Fallout-Lore-Friendly stuff into the game (FWE, MMM, Busworld, DC_Interiors, some EVE stuff - no glowing weapons plz!) and crash free.
I cant belive no one said Chicago. The Windy City has a real diverse weather system from 3 feet of snow in the winter to 105 degree heat that feels like 120 with the heat index in the summer. Not to mention the lakefront skyline would look pretty B.A. if it was falloutarized lol. Bandits and raiders would be at home due to my cities current gang propblems, and the mafia mission from FONV would thrive here with the whole history of Al Capone and all the towns(suburbs) his crew astablished. All in all the windy city, the big apple and beantown have my votes for top three, they are probably gonna pick beantown though
Not again a Town. I have really seen enough muties and single sided enemy presence.
I had never recogniced there was an enclave at all until shooting their boss with Fallout2.
Would be nice having such 4
I would love a Fallout World, where i can Nuke Europe and fight the Sony armed security forces xD
New Vegas is great: It's fresh and faster than any former fallout, almost as B.O.S. and still sustains a large world, even i don't comprehend why this is to e a single map| could be much more vast with multiple global maps sithout even adding more content, like scaling it to 0.25 stnglt.

Seriously people, Fallout is a parody of the 50s in US. Not Russia, China and whatever you guys are recommending
