Life as a Roaming Merchant

Here is an idea for New Vegas. If you noticed in fallout 3 the caravans always showed up on a certain day at a certain time. What if you could have your own caravan and have stops to trade goods at? I know you can already make your own food and poisons and stuff but what if you could buy a brahmin and hire a bodyguard! And as you went out your days you could make stops at towns and they would count on you for survival.
Have any ideas Post em below!

I have a idea...how about realising the game is effectively done, so there no use having any more ideas for New Vegas.

No need to be rude. The devs are being tight lipped on info, so once again we've gone back to ideas, arguing, and flaming bad ideas. :laugh:

hmmmm. while its not a "bad" idea. i have a better way of implementing it.

a caravan following you at all times would be a hassle.

brahmin would be hard to protect and they move so freakin slow. and i would get tired of being followed all the time.


maybe a job. (something you can go back every couple of days and do)
where you have to go to a crimson caravan stronghold and do escort missions. where you have to follow a caravan to a location and protect it on its way. you would get good pay and positive rep with the caravans. maybe even discounts.

i could see being a caravan guard being pretty fun.

also to ralos- its not like we excpect these ideas to actually be implemented. i suggested things back in june and i never expected it to make it in the game.

They could always add a caravan feature with a DLC right?

Like, the DLC might take place in a different area like Pitt, AAFB, PL, MZ, O:A but with the DLC they add a caravan feature for the main map as a bonus.

No, that thread is way to vague, i like this thread much better.

I just got the Caravan pack for pre-order bonus, so i would love to be able to have my own trade route to go around.
Easy money, a way of lazily passing the time, and a really good way of role playing. :P

So yeah, VIVE LA CARAVANS!
