We understand that the world is a post-apocalyptic one, so there will be a lot of rubble and lot of drab, ruined environments. Let’s hope that these don’t get as repetitive as Oblivion’s ubiquitous forests.

Same here. Rest of the ideas in the poll are nonsense and non-canon, but I could live well with some limited NV technology in Fallout.
In 1944-45, Germans tested NV systems with assault rifles(StG44 w/ Vampir Zielgerät 1229). Apparently some sniper rifles and even machineguns were fitted with NV sights. Even bigger NV mounts were used in Panther tanks and half-tracks. All of those were also used in combat, but in very limited numbers.
So, some cumbersome and ugly night vision sights would fit nicely as a hard to find/expensive hi-tech.
