Forensic Scientist

Upon examining a player corpse, you gain information about the weapon used for the kill, which direction it was used from (especially useful if they were killed by a sniper rifle) and how long ago the player was killed.

There could even be a message like 'This seems similar', if you examine a corpse killed by the same person as the last corpse you examined.

Also, perhaps indications of the faction of the killer. Stumbling upon a player corpse and finding out that he or she was killed by raiders would be useful information to a regulator (please, please, please have The Regulators), for instance.

We wont see regulators, they are an invention for and provide one hell of a plot hole in the first of the bastardize FOs.

I like your idea about the 'forensic anolysis' perk, although, i must admit, i'm having a hard time seeing out it could appropriately fit into gameplay without specific quests set up to enable the use of the perk.

Edit: actually, just had an idea of how it could. When you encounter a corpse you could possible determine the cause of death, making it easier for you to avoid it. You go into a cave and there's a few bodies there, after examining them you find out they died of radiation poison. Because you dont have any anti-rad drugs or a protective suit, you decide to leave the area. However, a player who wasn't able to determine that the individuals died of radiation poison would probably end up not having too good of a day.

Yeah, Any bounty hunters in the game should be played by ME. Oh, and I guess other players too. I put the 'Skill' in 'Kill.'
Wait, what?

That sounds good. I was thinking it'd be useful for PvP. Hunting remaining enemies of the faction, guild, or whatever after a massive battle, as people do tend to stick around for a bit to gather intelligence on what the enemy plans to do next.

Bone cracking

The ability to mutilate and dismember corpses and then reshaping bones into useable tools. For example: Need a wrench/Cartridge/aesthetically displeasing lantern?; not anymore! Take my Hip bone, today. Well I guess we're just a couple of problem solvers

Code Cracker

Grants you the ability to decipher confirmation codes to complete your forum registration.



Seriously, could you guys please improve this because it looks like someone vomited alphabet soup on the intro to Saved By The Bell.


On topic: Toaster Repair. Make it a completely useless perk other than one quest that requires it (with a huge payoff).

Although it's a good idea for PvP, i dont see it being that effective in application. I saw this, because it seems like a lot just to track down one sniper who got away from a PvP battle. For this, i'd like to see more of a generic tracking skill.

However, it could play a seperate role in PvP. For instance, players could take an assignment with a caravan company to investigate caravan's that have been disapearing. This could start by you going to the scene of the latest disapearance, where you would investigate the scene. Using the forensic perk, you could determine that the Turtles (random player raider clan) raided the caravan, which could lead to another mission involving taking out a Turtle stronghold.

It can also be used to start bounty missions: player A kills Player B, Player C is in the same faction as player b, and player C investigates to determine that the killer is a member of player A's faction. After going 'undercover' and asking the NPCs around player A's clan's base, one of the NPCs mentions that Player A sold some loot which was in player B's possesion when player B was killed. At this point, player C could either pursue the bounty themselves, or if they are lacking the appropriate combat skill and/or group, they could even leave teh quest for other players to accomplish.

What is with everyone's fascination with caravans on this forum?

But yeah, ok. I kind of like the idea of doing a lot to track people down, rather than following some arrow on the screen or something. Makes thinking play more of a role in PvP, so if you're more clever 'IRL' you'll have advantages.

But sure, I bet most people would just find it frustrating or useless.

Honestly, the more I read about how this game is likely to turn out, the more sure I am that I won't enjoy it.

Caravan's are a big part of what makes a FO, a FO.

Don't get me wrong, depending on how it's implimented i could easily find such a system fun.... the first few times i tracked someone down. But after that, it'd simply become another task you complete countless times.

I know what you mean about the game though. Although, there's still not much info out on it, i felt the same way when i read that they are making ghouls a starting player race. Unfortunately, though, i highly doubt FOOL is going to live up to the expectations most FO fans have. Not that there'll be anything wrong with the game, but we are, as a whole, a very picky, methodical (when it comes to picking out problems), spoiled, and just plain old hard to please lot.

Some ideas for the perks:

Booze artist.
Your health is affected, but you gain additional hitpoints.
Or, if there would be no hitpoints... still gives you something additional...

Smoker perk.
Smoking affect somehow your health, but give you bonus on your charisma.
Damn, antitobaco company will not allow this.

Dandy boy.
Wearing extraordinary costume influence your charisma.

Сamouflage perk.
For stealth-players. Enemies detect you only on short distance.

Radiola boy.
Additional science skills. + collection of rare vinyls)

Sherif perk.

silver tongue

requirements

speech check 100. however, if npc has equal or greater charisma or intelligence no bonus will be applied.

Plastic Surgeon.

Enhanced efficiancy of:

Mine Fabricator.

Ability to fabricate anti personel mines and vehicles mines. Maybe this could include hand grenades and high tech mines such as remote controlled mines etc. (With the Expert Demolition and the Crazy Bomber perks...).

You mean the ability to build your own Cylon? Awesome sauce

A pretty cool perk for ghouls might be the ability to reattach limbs, I don't know but in some of the earlier games in think it was partially implied that you sort of just sewed/stuck anything that fell off back on and kept suffering/shuffling along. Why do games studios have to fight and die? War, war never changes : (
