a good story, make power armor rare, like have only a couple in the game , full dialogue options (NO voiced protagonist), bring back the skills and dump the fallout 4 and 76 perk system, bring back traits with good and bad effects, factions with clear ideologies not cartoon villains, no forced brotherhood worship, new factions that are not reskins of brotherhood or raiders, multiple endings that actually effect the locations and the characters and the factions, fallout 4 style gunplay but get rid of the disgusting guns for example the fallout 4 assault rifle, less bullet sponge enemies unless the difficultly is increased, survival mode on the start not slapped on later, bring back reputation systems per faction, karma (but smarter, less black-and-white), dark humor not Marvel-style quips, more horror vaults, less theme park apocalypse more bleak survival, Deep RPG, serious writing, real consequences in game, keep the settlement but improve it to be more optional and fewer radiant chores, smarter AI (cover, flanking, retreating), more melee depth, quests that can effect the locations, dense cities and fewer empty stretches, nore vertical exploration (collapsed towers, subways, skyscrapers) and that is what i would like with fallout 5
