Post Apocalyptic world? Where the h--- is everything coming from. Weapons, ammo and armor coming out of the walls(in perfect condition no less) and where's the Mint (what is backing it up?)

I'd like to see it all more limited and BARTER for everything. I think F3 should have us scrounging the waste for items. Specialization should be more specific. Pistols, Rifles, Shotguns, SMG's get the idea. Break current system down a little further and define it better, so that you wouldn't mind staying with a couple weapons knowing you could enhance them yourself later in the game. Choose pistols and % rates would allow your own modifications, with appropriate science and repair abilities/ facilities? Find a 9mm, is it gaurenteed to work? Find a few more and scavenge peices. Can't find ammo? Learn to make your own or rechamber. Have tech manuals for specializing.

As for armor, you make a shot/kill in the eyes that armor should be in the same condtion as your opponent had, if NPC's get trigger happy armor shouldn't be worth recovery. Specialize in armor might allow peicing together power armor or tweaking certain properties. Anybody ought to be able to mix and match according to whats found and how clever they are. Might have to beg, borrow or steal to complete a complete set. Someone else touched on this before, where's the SWAT armor, police shields, helmets and Military vests and Kevlar helmets?

Overall there shouldn't be more of things, probably less, but should be able to use characters gray matter or machine shop to repair/create something different.

As for the character, if anyone remembers Daggerfall, use a quiz type setup. Pick gender, (maybe race?) and setting (Tribal, City, Trapper etc.. Then answer a few questions to set moral tone, interests, phobias and other things of this sort.
 
About armour:

You know how in FO1 Micheal the BOS weapons/armour distribtor type guy says, "Take care of it, I can only issue out one set." ?? Well, how about have the armour be able to rust away, crack, erode, etc. as long as you can't have a stable set of metal armour forever.

About pieces or armour to complete the armour:

That's what Bulder's Gate is (seperate parts for armour like helmet, body armour, stuff like like that).

About head/eyes shots:

Head shots should kill, unless you have an extra thick skull and lots of fluid build-up, providing yourself w/ an internal hockey helmet. Eye shots should always cause eye damage, unless you are wearing armour w/ an eye shield.
 
you want to change the character creation system?
have you ever played fallout? this is the best system ive seen in a long time, never change it.
 
Darn right it's the best game. What some people don't get is it is only a game. Who cares if it is not reallistic. They're kinda like those people who point out every mistake in a movie and they never just sit back and actually enjoy a movie.
 
Heh. "That sub is so fake - you can see the fishing line"

I don't remember who said to change the char. creation system, me or someone else, but just add stuff like race, skin colour, nothing too major, just so you don't get stuck w/ the same old black haired white guy/gal (nothing against black haired white people, we just need more multiculuralism in Player Characters)

The only thing bad about FO is missing w/ a minigun @ point-blank.

And about endings.... why in FO1 when you are kicked out of Vault-13 are you wearing your tight-ass vault suit, when you need power armour to survive the military base and cathedral? I wouldn't mind waiting for them to add more endings depending on your current armour. And when you are a woman, it DOES show a woman walking away, right? Dumb question, but I never beat FO1 w/ a woman, I still need to blow up both the m. base and cathedral. For those that remember Rebel Assault 1, if you chose a female pilot, in one cutscene, it shows a short haired person as you, but not female-type short haired. So, just wondering.
 
Forgot to ask....

Which image is the top one (knife in back)? That's pretty sad for the guy who got stabbed, a guy who's holding a photo of a guy w/ the words "My Pal" on it, by the guy in the photo (in the back too). And is it HTML you used for the images?
 
look, if youre so hyper critical of the continuity of the story line, why not have BIS take you as a slave, and make you code out everything to be right. you work 24 hours , then sleep for 6, get 2 meals a day, and just for fun you can become the office's sex bitch. Until i see you make such an immersive game that can even begin to rival Fallout i dont think you should point out every little fault.
 
What's your problem? I didn't point out every little fault, just 2!!! Must you assume every little stupid thing?? And if you think 2 things is every little fault, I feel sorry for you. I even said I was just wondering! If you missed that, get your eyes checked.

Also, I'm the one who least gives a flying f*** about every little fault. Nothing's perfect, and if you think that I think that everything should be perfect, then you assume too much.

So be tolerent of other's thoughts, and others will do the same for you. And if this starts a huge flame-fest, I'll be the first one out.
 
Okay, let me explain my idea a little better. I'm not talking reality or nitpicking the game. I love it, been at it off and on since 98.

Eye Shots - I almost always end up sniping, love the concept, but I want the armor (or pieces) my target was wearing.

Character creation - Just thinking how a different background might put a spin on things for a new game. Let the Chosen become a legend.

Overabundance of everything - I feel the game tends to get easier the further into it you get. If ammo and weapons were a little harder to acquire or could fail, would really make you rethink your attack.

Just ideas, love the game, think it's the best RPG made. Personally just want to delve into a more primitive post apocalyptic world where things aren't guarunteed. I enjoy the humour and would like to see some irony. Walking the earth in power armor and pulse rifle ready to kick some a** only to have a power failure and be a sitting duck to a tribal with spear. Don't f*** with mother nature.
 
As cool as it sounds, don't get me wrong, I like the idea of having multiple pieces of armour, but that makes FO3 more like Bulder's Gate. It would be cool to have some actual eye protection.

Irony, eh? Powered Armour power failure, eh? Heh, I can see it now! Showing off your cool new set of armour, only to collapse while tribals poke you w/ spears! The power fialure thing would be like the Starship Troopers CTF scene, when they got shot the suits disabled and they could do nothing but lay there.

Plus, I don't think anyone cares if you swear in this forum, lots of people do that.
 
I don't know, maybe it wouldn't fit. Point is when I shell out my 50 bottlecaps for Fallout 3, I want something the same but different.

I want new eye candy, more weapon sounds. I want a machine gun/grenade launcher. I want to take everything my enemy had, armor included. I want my NPC's smarter, how about a female martial artist or a wiseass sotgun wielder. I'd like to see more melee combat, some Matrix like moves. I don't want to be a tribal, maybe a malcontent trapper or trader. I want my own place in the wastes and be able to put a heavy machine gun on my car. I want to lay down or crouch to snipe/be harder to hit or be seen. I want to be able to tell NPC's what to do in combat(radio?). I want the world to go on without me. I want to be an NCR Ranger, BOS member or join Enclave with tangible results/repurcushions. Maybe join the Trade Federation and be a troubleshooter/Bounty hunter.

Remember ALIENS? I wanted to see the Marines all suited up in power armor based on the cargo loader, ready to walk in and kick ass. Only to be overcome by the aliens acid, have to give up their toys and use theirs heads to get out alive.
Thats the kind of thing I'd like to see in the next Fallout. Just when you think you're unstoppable the POSSIBILITY of being humbled and forced to find a new solution.
