I had an idea, what if you could pick a different character instead of just humans? Maybe in the future have we can play as a Human, Super Mutant, Ghoul, or a Deathclaw.

Human:

-The specials would be all 5's from the start

can use all weapons

-Stats are average

-Your disposition with people would be normal with humans but lower for super mutants, ghouls, and deathclaws (maybe have the reputation system that Oblivion had, where each person felt a certain way about you and you can see it as a number)

-The human has a special background and can do different quest that the others cannot do

-radiation hurts you

Super Mutants

-SPECIAL

Strength:7

Perception:4

Charisma:3

Endurance:7

Intelligence:3

Agility:3

Luck:4

-You are really efficient in big guns, melee, and unarmed but you lack in small guns

-Stats would be different for a super mutant and there would be caps on certain skills, like you start really low in lock picking and sneaking but you can only go so far with sneaking because of your size

-Most people don't like you and will often shoot on-site until you get your reputation up

-You can walk into most super mutant camps and take quest from them and also do trading

-you are immune to radiation

-your story line is completely different from the other characters

-you need to find special armor because most wont fit your size

Ghouls

-SPECIAL

Strength:4

Perception:5

Charisma:3

Endurance:4

Intelligence:7

Agility:6

Luck:6

-you are better at sniping and small guns and are okay with melee, but lack in big guns and unarmed

-your stats would be different, your sneak and lock pick would be high but speech and bartering can only go so far up

-Most people will look at you funny and insult you, some people will attack on-site usually out in the wastes

-radiation heals you

-feral ghoul wont attack unless provoked

- again completely different story form other characters

Deathclaws

Strength:8

Perception:5

Charisma:2

Endurance:8

Intelligence:3

Agility:6

Luck:3

-can only use unarmed and very few melee and small guns

-sneaking, lock picking, barter, and speech can only go so high but you start off with high unarmed

-most people will shoot on-site and in order to be able to go into towns you need to get your reputation up

- can only use special armor

-wild deathclaws wont attack unless provoked

-a slight resistance to radiation

-different story from other characters

If there's anything you think should be added or taken off this list tell me in comments. Do you think the game would be better or worse if you could pick and customize different characters?
