This is not a bad idea. Don't make to many of them though. But a thieves guild and a fighter guild would be nice. sorta like the thieves guild in Arcanum. They can give you jobs wich will net you some exp. Not bad at all.

Not bad but i wouldn't like to many of that. Like in Arcanum you could find a lot of useless stuff only to find out that you could combine it later in the game. Don't get me wrong, i like the idea but let it only be done for a few weapons. Like 3 to 5 not all of them.

I don't find this nessasary. I looked at my followers' history in BG but i never got the feel of ii being important. It's not that big a deal but remember that eye candy (wich this is mostly is, and i'm talking about your prior suggestions too) isn't always bad, but it shouldn't overtake the game. The most important thing is the feeling and depth of an RPG, not how many eye candy has been put in.

I'm against this one. Politics has no place in a Fallout world. It's supposed to be a world struggeling for survival. A shoot first, ask questions later kinda world. If you piss someone off, they'll shoot. If you are nice, they'll help you. The whole polotics thing isn't right. But remember, i'm an old timer who started playing Fallout 1 first and looks at the series beginning with the original and if you haven't played the first one before the second one this whole politics thing might be more acceptable to you. I want less politics. Anyway reputation now. Why would it. If you have done something good in one town, why should the other towns like you to or vice versa for somehting bad. Only if you become a childkiller or berserker or champion. That's because these are reputations that are widespread. Why would a town that has it's own trouble care if you are on good terms with another town even if the first one doesn't like the second ?

Not really. Again shoot first, ask questions later. Piss someone off, they'll try to put a bullet up your head.
