15. If you have a follower they should be able to revive you should you go down in a fight. I know this is turning into a shooter but it's just a nice add in with the whole rpg feel.
I think they could add a lot more 'physicality' to the game, without degrading the RPG aspects. just because you can perform actions that you'd see in games like call of duty, doesn't mean you can't also have level systems, crafting, dialog tress, exploration etc.
- have an alternative VATS mode that functions like the original combat systems in 1 and 2, pick where to move, when to shoot etc...
-There should be a 'quick menu' option to pull up the pipboy ingame (no pausing), hit M to pull up just the map I to pull up just the inventory, etc. maybe even have the quick menu screens extremely condensed so in the inventory you only see your 'favorites' (visually in third person it would be picture in picture, in first person, you see the screen at an angle like the dude was checking his watch).
