I'm a huge Fallout fan and plan on getting the Collectors Edition, but I do want to ask some things.
As you all should know if you played "Fallout 3" there is a perk where you are able to pick up either a finger (bad characters) or an ear (good characters) and sell them to other people. Well, I suggest you should be able to carry bodies, now this is kind of hard to explain in text, but here it goes. Now the bodies could be like 80-100 pounds, but heres the best part, you can sell them! (for instance: to cannibals). Like every body you sell of a good person is 100 caps, and every bad person is 150 caps. (Or whatever price you guys want). You could also use your speech skill to raise the price on each body, like you can do with many quests in the "Fallout 3" game (Power of the Atom, Superhuman Gambit). And you could make it on of those unmarked quests and after like 100 bodies you get a perk. The perk could be anything from like you're able to experiment on the bodies (in a lab in your house) and make a "Companion." Or the other perk could be something along the lines of you eating the bodies and not getting any side affects. I asked a couple of people about, to see if they would like it, they said yes. Personally I think it would be awesome, and you can actually see your person holding the body. You know how the other people in the game have that motion to pick things up, its a quick swipe, well you can use that for your character when they pick up a body (that might be a little hard but either way it would be cool).
The second thing I suggest is you should be able to have your own gang. In the quest "Protecting the Waterway" in "Fallout 3", when you have to deal with Slip-Jack and his gang and how you have the options to fight him for control of the gang. Say you challenge the leader of a gang you meet in the wastes just wandering around, you take control of that gang. You talk to them and you join up with them, using your speech, then you talk to the gang leader and tell him something like "You've been terrible at this, now its my turn to step up to the plate." Then you and him fight to the death using whatever, and then gang can follow you around and you can make them wear things and give them anything. Kind of like a follower only they come with you between the hours of 8-6, or something. I know its a lot, but I mean who wouldn't want their personal gang. I think it would be awesome. Of course, in "Fallout 3" you were allowed 2 followers, maybe it could be the same so you have all the members fight each other and the last two win.
My final suggestion is about cars. I don't know if you guys are already in the works with this stuff, but listen here. After wandering in the wastes for months or whatever, you find a really beat up car, like in most wastelands. Anyway all the tires, engines, lights, etc. can be picked up and if you have a house, you can have a "Chop Shop" and thats where you put everything and it all piles up, and after a while, you get enough to build a car. Now of course, you're science, repair, etc. would have to be at at least 95. But you're pretty much able to take the car out if you can find gas and drive around the waste. And going back to the gang aspect, you can take you're followers out in the car and do whatever. Like you could have a truck, or something like that. But the car would only last for like a week of driving, and you would have to scavenge anything you can from it when it breaks down. But that's it.
The above suggestions are just that, suggestions, now maybe you are already in the works with one of these, but just look at them for me. And anyone reading this tell me what you think and check out the poll!
PLEASE REPLY!!! (Don't just answer the poll, justify your answers)
Thanks,
