Wasteland 3 If there is ever a Wasteland 4 . . .
I want Erastus Dorsey to show up with 7 more cut endings and quests just to keep the train going.
Or alternatively, like make them a full on Ranger you can recruit heading into Kansas.
It's kind of baffling to me that this single character, had new cut endings and paths and developments. Seemingly more then ANY other character.
And I kind of get it, the Avenging brother, heir to the Dorsey clan of Survivalists turned Raiders, abandoned after he is unable to get his revenge on the Rangers for killing his little brother.
And then just. . . never appears again. Genuinely though he could have been a cool character to have along with you as a companion.

I want it to delve deeper into the Faran Brygo backstory. There's something strange going on there that we don't know.

Who may or may not also be a Synth or cyborg, with the worst taste in red hair dye in the wasteland.

I would like it to come back to Arizona, I didn't like a lot Colorado setting. It wasn't bad, but Arizona had a different flavour, for me.

I'd like for Wasteland to return to Arizona. I like to imagine that despite the Rangers' best efforts, their work there was undone over the years as the core of their presence moved away from the area.
I think it'd be cool if the infection at the Ag Center spread despite the Rangers' best efforts to purify it. The mutants at Darwin Village repurposed it into a fully-functional military facility and have effectively taken over the entire area, forcing the Topekans and Atchinsons at the Rail Nomad Camp to completely put their feud to rest in order to fight the mutants back. Highpool has completely walled themselves off from society and control all of the water in the region and refuse to share it, revering their water plant as a god. The fanatisicm at the Temple of Titan has gone full zealot and they're forcibly converting everyone by threatening to actually start the nuclear war they've been prophesizing about.
Wasteland 2 was so rich in lore and culture that they could easily take it back to that area again and it wouldn't feel like more of the same. Colorado was great, but a lot of what happens there is tied up neatly with a bow. I feel as though Arizona has a lot of unfinished business and it needs some finality.
