Remember the soveirgn nation 'Republic of Dave" in Fallout 3, a little North of Cantabury Commons. There was a leader, Dave who had some loyal subjects gaurding their soveirgn land, educating the younglings and farming and just providing for themselves.
I would love to see a title come out, that enables me to be a leader like Dave. I want to find an old vault, maybe a hamlet or farm, something that I cold call home. This home could be anything that I'd have to defend, use my attributes to repair pre-war machinery, power sources, buildings, use my charisma and speech to recruit loyalist's, doctors, grunts, technicians, scientist, weapon and armour smiths.
A new nation could be built, or a people in waiting could join the protagonist or antagonist. Obviously there would have to be some scaveging for materials, diplomacy with stronger tribes/people, and an end goal... maybe just to rebuild, how about to divide and conquer others, or to bridge a gap between you and another to unite a wastland.
This would be a game like Fallout 3, same platform, the use of V.A.T.S., maybe a little better in the dialouge pertaining to the options the P.C. may choose but the same style of game. I guess It would be a mix of... Fallout 3, Red Alert and Civilization. I just want the opportunity to be a leader, important, a decision maker... a doer.
Let me hear what you have to say
