My list of things I would like to see added to Fallout 3

more endings
Add endings for Bigtown, Tenpenny tower, GCR, Megaton, Rivet city

Bigtown
Make a quest to add residents and give them a profession:

Tenpenny tower
Make the suite bigger
for blowing up a town + people you get a rather crappy suite
Add more quests to the location

Megaton
more quests
example: who is the boss of megaton

D/C ruins

Establish your own base (post completion of game)

• Clear houses each time you want to expand the base
  
• Acquire equipment from other locations
  - Laboratory from rivet-city
  - Slave pen from paradise falls
  - Gun depot from rangers compound
  - etc?
  
• hire residents all over the capital wasteland
  
• - enable raider missions (bad/neutral)
  - enable defender missions (good/neutral)
  - enable trading missions (good/bad/neutral)
  
• possible base invasion (set up perimeter defense)


- GNR radio (announce heavy mutant attacks)
arrive to help the station within the day

Add more Super-Duper Marts to the capital wasteland

Better features:

news
enable enclave news: enclave has his robots everywhere yet they are unable to broadcast news "propaganda" on recent events

music
enable uploading of songs to the game by MP3's to a folder and make the vault dweller find a portable music player upgrade for the pip-boy 3000 (possible interruption between songs by enclave news or GNR news

humor
fallout 2 had very great humor, fallout 3 is almost humorless (and the robot jokes are lame)
examples of fallout2:
- the prank call to the enclave at Poseidon oil
- Lumpy being run over by the only car driving around in the wastelands, and he makes a funny remark
lots of humor was very cynical (how would you be if you had to live in a destroyed world?)
- just kidding his name is Bob (the tree in Harold his head)

weapon system
the kid lived in a vault for 19 years with almost none combat training, yet he is able to wield flamethrowers, plasma rifles, machine guns, Gatling lasers, etc... without any practice
enable a weapon mastery feature for each weapon (every shot fired gains #% mastery for the weapon, and #/3% mastery for every other same type weapon)
- add to ATK -25% for 0% mastery +25% for 100% mastery
- add to durability: -20% for 0% mastery +30% for 100% mastery

enable repairs with scrap metal at work benches
- based on repair skill and weapon mastery:
- max repair possible: based on repair skill level
- success rate: based on weapon mastery * repair level
- max amount: (repair skill level / 5) CDN

enable generation of scrap metal
- breaking down weapons and armor: ( 1+ |CDN/25| scrap metal obtained)

medicine
no more repairing broken ligaments by using a simple stimpack on it
enable doctor skill with a success rate of (medicine * ((25%) first-aid kit/(50%) doctors bag/(75%) surgeons kit)

sequence
re-add the fallout 2 sequence calculator for combat (faster shooting as enemies)
-more agi is an earlier sequence
-enable an earlier sequence perk

increase max level
- set max skill levels to 200 (enable overrepair for longer max CDN, modify speech and barter %)
- tagged skills gain 2 points each insert
- a skill level above 100 needs 2 points (tagged ones need 1)

enable completed game features
- the base in D/C
- enable all past vault 112 programs from von Braun and be the administrator and have fun with the inhabitants like von Braun did

better crippling
-- broken arm is unable to use a weapon with that hand
-- possibility to use 2 hands (main- and off-hand)
-- enable targeting eyes (very low chance, huge critical, severe blindness)
-- enable targeting the groin (long knockdown time for males)

comprehension
- enable enemy hp bars when having the comprehension perk
- else show healthy/wounded/very wounded/almost dead

holstering weapons
- add a hotkey for all weapons please

healing rate
- no more being fully healed in 1 hour of sleep (based on endurance)
- base my first infirmary heal rate on medicine (max 5 uses each day)

my first laboratory
- get chem formulas from npc's to enable specific chem creation
- enable distillation of dirty water to purified water

add a vehicle to venture the capital wastelands (motorcycle driven on gas)
- add jerry cans
- add gas stations next to town
- enable upgrade to ride on a micro fusion cell powered motorcycle
- enable carry bags upgrades
- enable a sidecar for passengers (I'd love to see the super-mutant in a side-car)

more hidden perks
- re-add some old hidden traits
examples of fallout 2:
- gravedigger
- porm star
- boxing champion
- 2x thermal implants
- 2x phoenix implants
etc.

more charisma effects
- more charisma = more chance others will be fired on first
- more charisma = better npc repair levels

better sniper rifle effects
- in vats add a lot more success % for long range attacks and reduce chance on close range

to end with a rant:
the most important part of the Fallout series is the humor, I'm really missing it in this game (and the robot jokes are lame )

I found the proton mass/catholic one to be quite funny, myself. Laughed a good ten minutes (finding the flamethrower with "I don't want to set the world on fire" playing also have a few minutes of jolly).

Generally, the only gripe/wish I have was the same I had at the end of Fallout 1 (and why I and others spammed emails): I don't want the game to close after the main quest. Indeed, I remember using Arena as a reference in how to end an open ended game...

(FYI: skipped RPGs from an early age after I played Dungeon Master... my first two real RPGs were Arena, and then Fallout 1)

I'd like to see the lockpicking skill reduced in importance by allowing you to use explosives or weapons to blast open doors. There would need to be a chance that if you blew open a safe that the stuff inside would be damaged or destroyed, but currently it's so annoying that a basic door blocks me from optional parts of quests when I can fire nukes (or throw nuka grenades) at enemies :brokencomputer:.
