Fallout 4: Speculation, Suggestions and Ideas

Thread #32

This topic is for ideas and suggestions for Fallout 4 so that we can keep all the discussion in one thread. Other very general idea/suggestion topics for a future Fallout game will either be closed, or moved to this one.

This thread should be used to discuss items you'd like to see in a future game, gameplay tweaks, quest ideas, things you hope are not in the next game and so on. If you want to discuss major issues, use a separate topic - such as the discussion about adding multi-player or co-op play, which already has a thread. Please search first to see if there is an active/recent thread on a particular topic.

Here is my http://s1121.photobucket.com/albums/l501/thewonderwombat/?action=view¤t=FO4map.jpg! This is a Work in Progress.


Spoiler



1 Fallout 4 featuring Philidelphia

Obviuosly located in Philidelphia, now called Philly

A few reasons it should be considered
-5th most populated city in the U.S.
-Home to some historical sites
-Home to historical monuments
-Next to a river

Plot

Lyon's BoS, now lead by Maxson's ancestor (he was a squire in Fallout 3), are expanding ever so slowly as it is roughly 20 years from Fallout 3. They reach Philidelphia to find many problems just like the Capital Wasteland. Maxson (insert correct number here) decides to help reorganize the communities. The neighboring factions don't want to ally with the Brother hood or the others, making the protagnoist side with one and destroy the others.

Factions

Lyons BoS - They will obviously play a major role. They have discovered T-51b power armor in facilities in Baltimore while they were traveling to Philly. Only some Paladins wear it though. After hearing how Philidelphia has large amounts of technology and a good amount of people they decide to investigate. They are met by three other factions trying to capture Philly for themselves. The PC can decide to side with them or get rid of their presence or destroy them.

Red coats - They do not take after the British redcoats, but their oppsing faction has used the name and it has influenced their armor.. They seek to control Philly just for the sole fact to not let their opposing faction have control of it. They use conventional weapons ranging from R91 assault rifles to swords. There main quests are to destroy the Revolutionairy's and to get rid of the presence of the Brotherhood of Steel and get rid of the presence of Pitt slavers. They only control Philidelphia

Revolutionairy's - A faction that takes after the American rebels in the 1770's. They wear crude armor and clothing and use weapons that can be easily scavenged. They want to control Philly for reasons to expand their army substantially. They basically created the redcoats and who they are today. They also want to destroy the redcoats. Their quests have you destroy the redcoats and get rid of the presence oof BoS and Pitt Raiders, in more barbaric way than the redcoats.

Pitt Raiders/Slavers - Sent out by Ashur from the Piit. In search of more resources and to gain more land to make the Pitt look more menacing. Though that is their mission they have set up an HQ that enslaves people, and they tend to wreak havoc on the surrounding land. The PC when sided with will have the moest challenging quests to destroy all three other opposing factions in complete barbaric means.

Talon Company - Their HQ is based NW of Philly. Not a major faction but has a lot of quests. As of 2298 their main purpose is being hired by the redcoats to sabotage and slaughter Pitt Raiders/Slavers. Most quests involve sabotaging the Pitt Raiders/Slavers. The rest of the wasteland views them as saviors, but the BoS and revolutionairy's want to have no part to do with them, resulting in if you side with BoS or Rev's they are hostile.

Red Foxes - (Raiders) After over 200 years of living in hostile tribes, one group lead by "The Fox" is determined to unite all the raider tribes into one large group. They are a less violent group of raiders that pillages shacks and towns for their own fate and survival. "The Fox" though still enjoys the thoughts of senseless killing, and doesn't want to leave it all behind, you can either help him, or remove him from power.
Fort Washington - Only large community of people that is not conquered by other large factions. They are a main target of the Revolutionary's. They continuously fail because they cannot get through the defenses. The locals have found a secret underground facility equip with prototype laser technology and prototype power armor which is larger than taditional and has less DR/DT.

Locations

Philly - the Main city that the main factions are fighting for Owned by the redcoats. It is equiped with amazing technology and structual buildings that can support a larger population, at least a fallout population.
Washington Castle - (not to be mistaken with Fort Washington) The ravolutionairy'e place of Operations located in present day New Jersey.
Talon Company HQ- HQ of the Talon Company
Large faction bases - spread out throughout the wasteland. Rev's East, BoS South, Pitt West.
Fort Washington - largest free city in the Wastes, it is based in the North. Present day Fort Washington
Vault 76 - West of Philly, unknown
Vault 83 - North of Philly, unknown
Vault 95 - Southeast - unknown, was going to be in FO 3
Vault 100 South - unknown, was going to be in FO 3
Military Industrial Supply - Red coats own this, it still has years worth of supplies stocked inside, enough to feed a whole city.
Fox River - A portion of the Delaware river that the red foxes call their own.
Stealers HQ - Pitt Raiders HQ and a nice play on words.

skills

1. Crafting - makes clothing/armor/other things from materials found in the waste ex. Leather armor is Brahmin skin and more, affects workbench instead of repair and science
2. Energy Weapons - again same, determines Energy Weapon effectiveness
3, Explosives - Doesn't include shooting weapons, grenades and mines mainly
4. Guns - guns with bullets
5. Lockpick - unlocks doors
6. Medicine - same how you can heal yourself
7. Melee Weapons - determines melee weapons
8. Repair - repairs armor and weapons now lets you repair more
9. Electronics - used to fix energy cells, and generators and such
10. Science - same, affects only minor things with workbenches
11. Sneak - sneaky sneaky
12. Speech - persaudes others + barter
13. Deception - allows the player to lie, and blend in with an enemy faction
14. Survival - same with more stuff
15. Unarmed - same


That's about all I got for now, will probally add on later. I am also working on a map, the first will only have places of importance.





2 Fallout 4 Multiplayer

I think if they were to happen to make an online mode they would sort of go towards a red dead redemption style. If you haven't played it then I'm sorry, but it is the whole entire map. There are only a few things to do such as gang shootouts, so for Fallout maybe you could do the dungeons. Then you can wander around and kill opposing players. In RDR you can also join each others posse's, so for Fallout you could join a faction from the game. Then there are things you can do outside the free roam, such as a multiplayer gang shoutout, basically a team deathmatch.

So here would be multiplayer

Free Roam

The entire map is open for exploration. All of the maps locations are open to explore. There are less NPC in the free roam, but you can still take their stuff, and their difficulty is dramatically increased. You gain exp. when you kill people for 50 levels. You unlock weapons and only weapons when you level up, and you can choose 4 from when you respawn and it gives you a limited amount of ammo. You can customize your character's appearence and armor color. You are able to join a faction, but you must get to their HQ to join. (maybe more to come)

Team Deathmatch

8 vs 8 matches where two teams are paired up against each other. First team to get 100 kills wins. You can choose 4 guns with limited ammo and are able to switch throughout the match.

Multi-team Deathmatch

4 vs 4 vs 4 vs 4. Same rules apply with team deathmatch.


I may think of more and repost them along with my other post.





3 Fallout 4 location ideas 1

Vault 83 - A very simple vault experiment. The "researchers" wanted to see how the community would react when they handed out a reverse Vault-Tec jumpsuit, main color being Yellow and smaller being Blue. The different suit was to be given randomly to a citizen every 50 years, it was handed out 3 times before Vault 83 opened. The vault opened in 2231 and a small town appeared next to the Vault after the reacotr leaked massive amounts of radiation.

Vault 76 - A control vault designed to open after only 20 years. After 20 years passed in 2097 the original overseer had died of a heart attack, and the new overseer was smarter than most. He sent out a party of 5 people to see how the world had changed. The detonated warheads left the surrounding area highly radioactive. 3 of the men died and the other two began to turn into ghouls. When the two returned with some of their skin falling off and their hair, the overseer was scared that "zombies" now ruled the Earth and then locked the Vault. The two then moved to Philly to see if the city had any survivors.

Vault 100 - A Vault-Tec experiment. Out of 1000 people 500 were hardcoe criminals, and the other 500 strict cops. All members had their memory wiped. There was also an extreme amount of money and a large amount of civilian weapons put into the vault. Only several years after the war, flaws of the memory wiped emerged and some of the people started to regain their memory. A group of criminals took other members not knowing whether they were fellow criminals or not. They ran away from the vault and settled their own town - guntown. When the player enters the Vault they find it destroyed with guns and corpes all over the place.

Vault 95 - To see how the easiest means of communication could be accomplished Vault-Tec made Vault 95. They had 250 people come from over the world and the U.S. who had no idea how to speak English, but the Overseer could speak English. There where no books or holotapes to teach English or the other languages. The Overseer was then given two list a short and east list full of simple minded tasks, and a very complicated one which had jobs that were necesarry to live. The Vault was raided by the Patriots and only remains of the different languages are there.

Abandoned Camp - A camp that was used for people trying to get into Vault 76, it is seemingly abondoned, but rumor is that the campers collectively dug a small underground shelter of their own in a matter of a few years.

Yellow City - The city built by the remnants of Vault 83. They worship the Yellow Vault jumpsuit and believe that a being will come to them and them as their leader and wear the jumpsuit and lead their people to salvation.

Guntown - A very strict to the code town where there is practically no crime whatsoever. There is an excess amount of civilian guns, such as pistols and hunting rifles. One man wants to raid the armory and capture the town for himself. The town itself is controlled by the Patriots. Each officer was then trained to be more strict than what they already were.

Big Hill (northwest corner) - Obviously on a big hill. Tribals wandered the wastes of Pennsylvannia for decades, until they discovered a shining beacon, being a large hill near Philly. They went to the area, and found many pre war houses around it, the scavenged what they could from the houses and started to build small houses on the hill in a spiral formation, with their town hall on the top. The population is small with small families. They mostly farm, and make unique remedies that is unknown to other parts of the wastes.

Sourland Caravans - Started by survivors of the great war who took refuge in the sourland mountain park. When they came out of the facilities they could still see mushroom clouds in the sky, so they waited even longer. When they re-emerged they decieded they would ship out supplies from around the park to other nearby towns. The radiation almost stopped this relief effort immediately, but they stayed strong and enough survivors remained to continue to ship supplies. This is when all the remaining cars stopped working and they discovered Brahmin, horrible creations of the war. Eventually with more and more people making their own settlements, the people from sourland, made the sour caravans charging the wastelanders and tribals pre-war money and convenient bottle caps.

5 Main factions

Patriots of America (formerly revolutionairies if you read my ideas post)

General Washington

A boy, named Thomas and his parents who were poor and starving wondered the ruins of D.C. in the years around 2252 endlessly each and every day. When the three of them were in the area of the national mall they were attacked by a group of super mutants who had plans to capture them. The mutants unable to capture them quickly made the decision to kill them. Thomas ran to the Washington Monument and climbed all the stairs to the very top. There he made a small camp and would scavenge for food and water each day during the safety of the night, slowly gaining skills that would inevitablly help him in the future. Eventually Thomas' scavenging trips became longer and longer until one trip he got caught at the Arlington Library. Interested that day he looked up the history of America. His favorite subject was the Revolution which inspired his name Washington. His dream then became to re-establish the 13 original colonies to their former glory. At the beginning of 2272 (wiki's date) he set forth to the North. When he arrived at his home he saw men in huge suits of armor setting up a huge barrier around the monument. There he met a crazy man who told him about the good fight. Thomas took this personally as restoring America, to do this he would destroy everything "evil" that in his eyes was anti-american. Knowing how D.C. was in ruins he set his sights on Baltimore one of the nations old capitals. In 2273 when he arrived in Baltimore he found it in ruins also, he also found hundreds of people suffering from radiation poisoning and the countless raiders around. For five years he taught them what he learned how to scavenge and hide. During these years he also learned much more skills in combat and trained the wastelanders as much as he knew. In 2278 he left Baltimore on his own. Within days the wastelanders he had trained followed began to follow him as their leader, thus he named his tribe/group the Patriots of America. After discovering that Philadelphia was overrun with ghouls he decided he needed to wipe them out as they were "evil" and keeping America from being a great country again. He lead the group to New Jersey to an Air Force base. He had the group spend hours building thorough defenses. At the same time he set up a government/leadership in the visions of the Constitution. The people unanimously voted him into office as the president where he would enact a Marshall Law and control everything as a dictator. In 2296 he finally sets his sights on the his capital of America, Philadelphia.

The Patriots of America

Scavengers and Wastelanders from Baltimore were in terrible shape. They were starving and thirsty and each day was a struggle for life. In 2273 when Thomas Washington came they were suprised that anyone would come out of their way to their slice of hell. For the five years they were taught to survive by Tom they came to look at him as a leader. Finally when he left the people came together and followed him out of the city to wherever he may have gone. In 2279 when they arrived at the military base the began to scavenge immediately. They found large amounts of munitions in the base, but they could only see with binoculars. Eventually they made a team which prepared to go into the bunker. They found hundreds of skeletons crowded around one small door. Inside the first room was the luggage and and food of the hundreds of dead civilians trying to gain safety inside the bunker, unfortunately it was all highly irradiated. On the other hand their luck was still in their favor as the bunkers door has fallen apart from years of neglect. They found even more skeletons and some feral ghouls. After a couple days of fighting they found the dark recesses of the bunker which was full of food untouched by the war and guns to supply a small army. With their new weapons they set their goal to expand to take Philadelphia. They spent a decade destroying towns forcing raiders and other wastelanders to join there nation. With a growing population they had to set up a real government modeling old America as in new Constitution. They smartest men and women of the settlements came togethers and created their own Constitution. With Marshall Law enacted almost immeadiately, Washington promised his people that they could be free and finally enjoy life once they were able to set up America's new capital in Philly. To do this they needed to destroy the vast amount of ghouls in the ruins of Philly which remained largely entact. With their main goal to conquer Philly they needed to expand their armies with a proper training and soldiers.

What's New?

Washington Castle - Current day McGuire Air Force Base. I have said mostly everything in the above posts. It is used as the main base for the Patriots, and it surrounded by three walls, first concrete, second concrete, third forcefield like Fallout 3 found on the base. There is one main entrance, and an emergency exit that leads out from a sewer. There is plenty of weapons and armor. Population: 359

Adamsville - Named after Samuel Adams, other argue John Adams, only thee educated. It is the Patriots second largest city/town. This area is the main town for civilians of the faction. It is mainly a farming village to feed all the people, but there is still an armor and gun dealer in town. There are almost no military personel in the town, but it is of no interest of any place.

Fort Greene - Named after the General Nathaniel Greene, it is the second base for the military close to the front lines. It houses more men than Washington Castle, but they are mostly infantry and no specialists (not rank). It is a very simple square building surrounded by a concrete wall. It sits a couple miles away from the Delaware River and is an important role to take Philly.


The Pitt

During the conflict with the slaves, Ashur guranteed them good things to come, as his wife had discovered how to make vaccinations. The slaves listened and settled down, but not before they hunted down Wehrner. Years later after all the slaves were free of radiation, and all the trogs were wiped out. The Pitt began toexpand into the city.They discovered even more scrap metal and weapons and more ammo types. Ashure then decided to trade the ammo much more widely, excluding the Capital Wasteland. Around 2285, Ashur started to grant slaves more freedom, and hired them as workers. This decreased the soldiers pay, so the rebeled, but the loyalists were better equipped and stopped it rather quick. Ashure realized how powerful his army was and decided to expand further on around Pittsburgh. Some of the wastelanders refused to join, but most accepted this and made many farming towns to support the Pitt's growing numbers.

Towards the end of the 2280's, the Pitt looked like a good place to live. The streets were cleaned up, the people much nicer, and their terriotry thouroughly protected. With all the good things, and more to come Ashur officially announced that the Pitt would break away from the U.S. and become The United Federation of Pittsburgh. It included several cities including its Capital the Pitt, Youngstown in Ohio, and as far as Harrisburg in Pennsylvannia. With the massive expanding Ashur saw its citizens being upset, so he decided his last conquest of his life would be Philadelphia, little did he know 3 other groups wanted it too. When they arrived in Pottstown they set up camp in an old warehouse. They headed to Philly, to see men in black armor running from the town, when they investigated they found 4 dead ghouls all dressed in red. They figured it was just ordinary wasteland violence, but the next few days they kept seeing the ghouls in red shooting at any wanderers outside their wall, with intense violence at a certain few. The scouts from the Pitt reported this, and Ashur told them to lay low until they destroyed each other. With 5 years of pointless waiting, Ashur decided to take some action, he enslaved some locals and forced them to work on farms and other jobs. When he arrived personally to the sight he ordered a small group of men to set up a camp to the west of Philly. Now in 2298, their numbers have dramatically increased and there armies are ready to march onto Philly, and claim it for themselves.

Locations:

Pitt-town - Previously Pottstown, the UFP took it over first thing and established an Philly HQ here, only the leaders of the army stay here and the player can only receive a few quests, the guards here have high tier weapons from the start.

Southern HQ - The front lines for the UFP. They have most of the soldiers stationed here. The armies are rather large and the weapons are top notch. There are only tents here along with one large building used as an HQ. The UFP moved their base of operations here.

Stealers Fist - (like the football team) This is the camp where all the enslavement takes place. Slaves come thorugh have their belongings taken then distributed to the Southern HQ or Pitt-town. It is also a farming town where slaves farm furing the day, then pack munitions for the army at night.

Red Ghouls

Ghouls of Philly - after decades of punishment some ghouls were tired of being pushed around by the "bigots" Several wandered the waster as a large group, such as the ones in Broken Steel who want a New Underworld.They knew the best way to keep the humans out was with radiation. After years of wandering they discovered Philly in what seemed a pristine condition. What they didn't know what that the downtown was completely destroyed, but the surrounding area seemlessly left unharmed. They came to the area of Penn's landing and wandered from there discovering the historical sights, mainly Indeoendence Hall. They read up on all the documents and decided to call this area their own.

Slowly but surely they gathered other ghouls around. Again, knowing the humans wouldn't come with radiation the ghouls powered up some nuclear reactors, and let the toxic waster lay around the perimeter. Slowly the expanded outward making a powerful city. They also found a Military Storage sight, full of food and water for centuries, and weapons for thousands. Humans barely ever came to the ghoul "safe haven" and when they did they were questioned, and if found mysterious shot.

After brutal skirmishes with the new enemy, The Patriots, they heard time after time the patriots calling them redcoats. This made the ghouls paint all of their armor and clothing red. There weapons grunt weapons, and their armor leather, combat, and metal.

Now with the areas.

Independence Hall - The town hall of the ghouls.They use the courthouse for putting humans and trial. There is also an upstair, where all the food was transfered to keep it clean, as the radiation surrounds the perimeter. Additional ammo and armor is also stored on the second floor. The leader of the ghouls, a man named Jacob Williams also runs things from the 2nd floor office. In the basemant (I'm pretty sure there is one) you can see labs and scientists working hard. On this level they are trying to find a quick way to take radiation out of water. If you talk to some gulible scientists and hack some terminels, you can find a hidden elevator on the back wall. In the bottom of the place, a much larger lab is set up. Two basic rooms. One smaller room with feral ghouls and scientists, and another with humans and scientist. The small room full of ferals is to see if the ghouls can make them senseable, and the larger room is to see if they can turn a human into a ghoul 100% of the time.

Battleship New Jersey - A museum before the great war. The ghouls found it in the Delawat and pulled it to Penn's landing. It is uses as a military base for the ghoul redcoats. There military leaders live there, and there scientists are working on making it operational.

[Optional feature]

Let us choose an optional mode for minigames, so that instead of doing a lockpick minigame the player character instantly tries to pick the lock by him/herself and if you fail the diceroll a certain amount of times the lock breaks.
VH locks has 3 tries, Hard has 5, Normal has 5 Easy and Very Easy has 7.

Now, let's go further with this, each of these has a decrease in chance.
For example, Very Hard lock negate 30 points in success rate, what this means? You can pick the lock at "any" level. BUT, if you have 35 in skill you have a 5% success rate.
So with 100 you have a 70% success rate.

Very Hard 30
Hard 25
Normal 20
Easy 10
Very Easy 0

Though I think there should be a new system to this:

Strange Lock - 40
Extra Reinforced Lock - 35
Reinforced Lock - 30
Mint Lock - 25
Sturdy Lock - 20
Weak Lock - 15
Weathered Lock - 10
Rusty Lock - 0

Strange Lock is a very rare lock that is used by any high tech faction with quality resources.

This can still work the boring Fallout 3 minigame way, just adjust the locks to fit in with 8 instead of 5.
And those that want it to be a diceroll mode can choose so in the options.

This same system goes for Hacking. (Yet again, it's optional.)

Not a bad system.
Although, instead of hard decreases, wouldn't it be more rewarding in the end to have it based on "skill vs. lock level". As in (shameless selfquote): If the lock level is above the skill, the amount going above is turned into percentages that is taken away from the skill. IE: skill = 30 and lock level = 80. Condition - skill = 50. 50% of skill (30) is 15. So trying to pick a lock of level 80 with a skill of 30 would give a chance of success of 15%. And once the skill has surpassed the level of the lock, the chance of success would always be 95%. (How the math actually goes is irrelevant as long as it works for the end benefit of the skilluse.)

This wouldn't hurt the player who decides to max out lockpicking by (as he is the best of the best in his trade at that point, and imo the game should reflect that) gimping him with penalties from easy and normal (and even hard) locks. Add in critical failures, to provide some random elements to it.

Some locks (the strange lock you mentioned, for one example) could have a difficulty level of over 100, so that fiddling with those would always offer a challenge even for the best, but those are special cases and the character is still a master lockpicker so conventional/normal locks shouldn't be too much of a problem for him.

Just a thought.

Just a quick suggestion, but how about an ability to hold your breath when sniping? The scope swayed way too much in F3 and NV for it to be accurate at long range. Being able to hold my breath for 5 seconds would really help.

That's what the weapon skill is for. ;)

Hybrid map style. The map would be like Fallout 3 on the inside, where there are so many locations on the layer. It'd be like F1/2 in which you'd have to travel great distances to other cities like from Chicago to Detroit.
Make it 15 locations found before I can fast-travel.

If you have a high medicine skill than sometimes when stood still for long enough you should begin to check your heart rate or examine stimpaks, flicking the needle and measuring the content.
High survival skill should make you take out a skinning knife to sharpen it or otherwise check the tools you use to skin animals pull teeth, cook.
High combat skills should make you take out and examine your current equipped weapon.
If you are a successful gambler you should take out some money to count or flip a cap through your fingers sometimes. Sleeping around a lot should lead to the character scratching themselves awkwardly if left idle.

Survival needs to determine if you'll be stopped and attacked while you're in Map Travel and the same things it did in FNV.
More Campfire/Workbenches location.
Reloading benches should have the ability to make weapons like in F3.
If you pop too many stimpacks there should be a overdose penalty. Based on your Endurance and Survival are how many stims you can take before an overdose.

Reputation perks, like getting caught pick-pocketing or stealing 10 times gets you "Thief of the wastes". Or do dangerous quests and people will talk to you differently.
Killing enemies of one faction gains fame to another. For instance, if I kill Legionaries then I should gain fame with NCR and vice-verse?
If I kill Legionaries and there are no witnesses then shouldn't my reputation stay the same with CL as before?

Random encounters were awesome in F3 so they should be in F4.
The Wasteland/anarchy feel of F3 should be in F4.
Make it more Open World. It was one of the best aspects of F3 IMO, that FNV lacked.
If I destroy a building with a fat-man, then most of the building should become debris.
Quick-saving. I don't care if it's "Hold back" or "Hold start"
Weather. It's always sunny and never gets cloudy or rains.
Have a F 1/2/NV ending. This isn't TES.
Have most buildings accessible rather then show buildings but almost all of them are inaccessible like DC.

Lock picking tools/ devices for opening doors.
Explosives should be able to open doors.

Reputation and Karma. Reputation should be the same thing as in FNV, but Karma should have more of a effect in F4 then it did in FNV. Maybe some companions will leave you if you get evil karma, people will talk to you differently, etc....

Speech needs to have the system of FNV where your skill determines success rather then chance as you can just save until you get it right. That was one of the stupidest things Bethesda has ever done.
Damage Threshold was a fantastic addition to FNV! And it needs to be in F4.
hardcoe switch. It was a blast in FNV to have hardcoe mode and it would wonderful to have it in F4.

Allowing companions to do things you can't do with your build. For instance, if I can't access a terminal because of my Science then if my companion has a high enough Science then he should be able to do it, right?
Being able to temporarily disable a robot then program it to be MY ROBOT! He shouldn't count as a companion though, but he WILL follow you around and kill enemies.
ACTUAL TOOLS required to repair weapons, like a wrench, hammer, cloth, and screwdriver. You would need all tools to repair without the possibility of crit. failures, crit. failures should depend on luck and repair skill but mostly luck and if you do get it then both weapons break. Repair kits too, for when you don't have all the tools necessary for no crit. failures and just want to send it back up to full CND. They should be expensive though like around 800 caps (Not including barter or Charisma) and have four uses.
F:NV had a good idea on Companions, however, they merely skimmed on the concept. More quests, a perk tree, more talkative, a better AI and a modified combat wheel.
Make it so we can shoot people in the eye and in the groin again.

More quests, more characters and more RPG elements.
Make charisma matter a lot more.

The ability to turn off stealth boys in Fallout 4 like in Fallout 1/2.
If you turn someone into ash or goo, nothing should be lootable.
Crafting primitive weapons like bows, clubs, stone knifes and etc
IF you shoot off a body part of someone and then loot the armor, the armors CND should lower.
Customizing armor, such as painting it and adding a intimidation meter to the AI. Adding things from organs, skulls and severed heads. To misc. things.
Intimidation level. Raiders shouldn't attack you, if you have high level armor and weapons. Animals shouldn't be suicidal, the animal should RUN away if it's almost dead.
Iron Sights needs to be in F4.
Unarmed special moves like in FNV rather then just keep punching.
Knives for skinning animals and taking their meat. Pliers for pulling teeth and claws out of the dead body for later use. Taking blood would require an empty syringe and a jar to store the blood in. Poison glands would require you to have a knife for removal and an empty bag to store the gland in.
No more generic Raiders, all groups in the game has to have a name and some lore building to them through notes, dialogue, quests and audio logs.
Sprinting and evading. They should use up AP's.
