Fallout 4: Speculation, Suggestions and Ideas

Thread #29

This topic is for ideas and suggestions for Fallout 4 so that we can keep all the discussion in one thread. Other very general idea/suggestion topics for a future Fallout game will either be closed, or moved to this one.

This thread should be used to discuss items you'd like to see in a future game, gameplay tweaks, quest ideas, things you hope are not in the next game and so on. If you want to discuss major issues, use a separate topic - such as the discussion about adding multi-player or co-op play, which already has a thread. Please search first to see if there is an active/recent thread on a particular topic.

I'm not on my computer so I can't make my mega-post...

I think the map should be like the one in my signature...

I also had an idea for another company, it is called Royce Security (created by William Royce, inherited by his son, Roderick Royce) and made the defense turrets (unless a company has been comfirmed to have made them, in that case I retract the last statement) and they were hired to design the Security system for the Three Borders Facility (nobody stuck around after it was done though) and you can fine their headquarters, the CEO Roderick Royce is alive as a ghoul, living on the top floor of his headquarters, deisgning newer and better security systems to keep away raiders, scavengers, and (later on) the Syndicate.

Would Christine Royce have anything to do with it? :P

Edit: OT...

If I could only ask for one thing, it'd be Co-op.

That's an interesting thought but no :lol:

I wouldn't like co-op, it would make the game lag if they're outside of the same block of the map...

Maybe the new engine could handle it. Unless it was just a rumor that they were using the new one...

No it's true that they have a new engine called Creation and I have no doubt in my mind they will use it for F4...

Spoiler



1 Fallout 4 featuring Philidelphia

Obviuosly located in Philidelphia, now called Philly

A few reasons it should be considered
-5th most populated city in the U.S.
-Home to some historical sites
-Home to historical monuments
-Next to a river

Plot

Lyon's BoS, now lead by Maxson's ancestor (he was a squire in Fallout 3), are expanding ever so slowly as it is roughly 20 years from Fallout 3. They reach Philidelphia to find many problems just like the Capital Wasteland. Maxson (insert correct number here) decides to help reorganize the communities. The neighboring factions don't want to ally with the Brother hood or the others, making the protagnoist side with one and destroy the others.

Factions

Lyons BoS - They will obviously play a major role. They have discovered T-51b power armor in facilities in Baltimore while they were traveling to Philly. Only some Paladins wear it though. After hearing how Philidelphia has large amounts of technology and a good amount of people they decide to investigate. They are met by three other factions trying to capture Philly for themselves. The PC can decide to side with them or get rid of their presence or destroy them.

Red coats - They do not take after the British redcoats, but their oppsing faction has used the name and it has influenced their armor.. They seek to control Philly just for the sole fact to not let their opposing faction have control of it. They use conventional weapons ranging from R91 assault rifles to swords. There main quests are to destroy the Revolutionairy's and to get rid of the presence of the Brotherhood of Steel and get rid of the presence of Pitt slavers. They only control Philidelphia

Revolutionairy's - A faction that takes after the American rebels in the 1770's. They wear crude armor and clothing and use weapons that can be easily scavenged. They want to control Philly for reasons to expand their army substantially. They basically created the redcoats and who they are today. They also want to destroy the redcoats. Their quests have you destroy the redcoats and get rid of the presence oof BoS and Pitt Raiders, in more barbaric way than the redcoats.

Pitt Raiders/Slavers - Sent out by Ashur from the Piit. In search of more resources and to gain more land to make the Pitt look more menacing. Though that is their mission they have set up an HQ that enslaves people, and they tend to wreak havoc on the surrounding land. The PC when sided with will have the moest challenging quests to destroy all three other opposing factions in complete barbaric means.

Talon Company - Their HQ is based NW of Philly. Not a major faction but has a lot of quests. As of 2298 their main purpose is being hired by the redcoats to sabotage and slaughter Pitt Raiders/Slavers. Most quests involve sabotaging the Pitt Raiders/Slavers. The rest of the wasteland views them as saviors, but the BoS and revolutionairy's want to have no part to do with them, resulting in if you side with BoS or Rev's they are hostile.

Red Foxes - (Raiders) After over 200 years of living in hostile tribes, one group lead by "The Fox" is determined to unite all the raider tribes into one large group. They are a less violent group of raiders that pillages shacks and towns for their own fate and survival. "The Fox" though still enjoys the thoughts of senseless killing, and doesn't want to leave it all behind, you can either help him, or remove him from power.
Fort Washington - Only large community of people that is not conquered by other large factions. They are a main target of the Revolutionary's. They continuously fail because they cannot get through the defenses. The locals have found a secret underground facility equip with prototype laser technology and prototype power armor which is larger than taditional and has less DR/DT.

Locations

Philly - the Main city that the main factions are fighting for Owned by the redcoats. It is equiped with amazing technology and structual buildings that can support a larger population, at least a fallout population.
Washington Castle - (not to be mistaken with Fort Washington) The ravolutionairy'e place of Operations located in present day New Jersey.
Talon Company HQ- HQ of the Talon Company
Large faction bases - spread out throughout the wasteland. Rev's East, BoS South, Pitt West.
Fort Washington - largest free city in the Wastes, it is based in the North. Present day Fort Washington
Vault 76 - West of Philly, unknown
Vault 83 - North of Philly, unknown
Vault 95 - Southeast - unknown, was going to be in FO 3
Vault 100 South - unknown, was going to be in FO 3
Military Industrial Supply - Red coats own this, it still has years worth of supplies stocked inside, enough to feed a whole city.
Fox River - A portion of the Delaware river that the red foxes call their own.
Stealers HQ - Pitt Raiders HQ and a nice play on words.

1. Crafting - makes clothing/armor/other things from materials found in the waste ex. Leather armor is Brahmin skin and more, affects workbench instead of repair and science
2. Energy Weapons - again same, determines Energy Weapon effectiveness
3, Explosives - Doesn't include shooting weapons, grenades and mines mainly
4. Guns - guns with bullets
5. Lockpick - unlocks doors
6. Medicine - same how you can heal yourself
7. Melee Weapons - determines melee weapons
8. Repair - repairs armor and weapons now lets you repair more
9. Electronics - used to fix energy cells, and generators and such
10. Science - same, affects only minor things with workbenches
11. Sneak - sneaky sneaky
12. Speech - persaudes others + barter
13. Deception - allows the player to lie, and blend in with an enemy faction
14. Survival - same with more stuff
15. Unarmed - same


That's about all I got for now, will probally add on later. I am also working on a map, the first will only have places of importance.








2 Fallout 4 Multiplayer

I think if they were to happen to make an online mode they would sort of go towards a red dead redemption style. If you haven't played it then I'm sorry, but it is the whole entire map. There are only a few things to do such as gang shootouts, so for Fallout maybe you could do the dungeons. Then you can wander around and kill opposing players. In RDR you can also join each others posse's, so for Fallout you could join a faction from the game. Then there are things you can do outside the free roam, such as a multiplayer gang shoutout, basically a team deathmatch.

So here would be multiplayer

Free Roam

The entire map is open for exploration. All of the maps locations are open to explore. There are less NPC in the free roam, but you can still take their stuff, and their difficulty is dramatically increased. You gain exp. when you kill people for 50 levels. You unlock weapons and only weapons when you level up, and you can choose 4 from when you respawn and it gives you a limited amount of ammo. You can customize your character's appearence and armor color. You are able to join a faction, but you must get to their HQ to join. (maybe more to come)

Team Deathmatch

8 vs 8 matches where two teams are paired up against each other. First team to get 100 kills wins. You can choose 4 guns with limited ammo and are able to switch throughout the match.

Multi-team Deathmatch


4 vs 4 vs 4 vs 4. Same rules apply with team deathmatch.


I may think of more and repost them along with my other post.








3 Fallout 4 location ideas 1

Vault 83 - A very simple vault experiment. The "researchers" wanted to see how the community would react when they handed out a reverse Vault-Tec jumpsuit, main color being Yellow and smaller being Blue. The different suit was to be given randomly to a citizen every 50 years, it was handed out 3 times before Vault 83 opened. The vault opened in 2231 and a small town appeared next to the Vault after the reacotr leaked massive amounts of radiation.

Vault 76 - A control vault designed to open after only 20 years. After 20 years passed in 2097 the original overseer had died of a heart attack, and the new overseer was smarter than most. He sent out a party of 5 people to see how the world had changed. The detonated warheads left the surrounding area highly radioactive. 3 of the men died and the other two began to turn into ghouls. When the two returned with some of their skin falling off and their hair, the overseer was scared that "zombies" now ruled the Earth and then locked the Vault. The two then moved to Philly to see if the city had any survivors.

Vault 100 - A Vault-Tec experiment. Out of 1000 people 500 were hardcoe criminals, and the other 500 strict cops. All members had their memory wiped. There was also an extreme amount of money and a large amount of civilian weapons put into the vault. Only several years after the war, flaws of the memory wiped emerged and some of the people started to regain their memory. A group of criminals took other members not knowing whether they were fellow criminals or not. They ran away from the vault and settled their own town - guntown. When the player enters the Vault they find it destroyed with guns and corpes all over the place.

Vault 95 - To see how the easiest means of communication could be accomplished Vault-Tec made Vault 95. They had 250 people come from over the world and the U.S. who had no idea how to speak English, but the Overseer could speak English. There where no books or holotapes to teach English or the other languages. The Overseer was then given two list a short and east list full of simple minded tasks, and a very complicated one which had jobs that were necesarry to live. The Vault was raided by the Patriots and only remains of the different languages are there.

Abandoned Camp - A camp that was used for people trying to get into Vault 76, it is seemingly abondoned, but rumor is that the campers collectively dug a small underground shelter of their own in a matter of a few years.

Yellow City - The city built by the remnants of Vault 83. They worship the Yellow Vault jumpsuit and believe that a being will come to them and them as their leader and wear the jumpsuit and lead their people to salvation.

Guntown - A very strict to the code town where there is practically no crime whatsoever. There is an excess amount of civilian guns, such as pistols and hunting rifles. One man wants to raid the armory and capture the town for himself. The town itself is controlled by the Patriots. Each officer was then trained to be more strict than what they already were.

Big Hill (northwest corner) - Obviously on a big hill. Tribals wandered the wastes of Pennsylvannia for decades, until they discovered a shining beacon, being a large hill near Philly. They went to the area, and found many pre war houses around it, the scavenged what they could from the houses and started to build small houses on the hill in a spiral formation, with their town hall on the top. The population is small with small families. They mostly farm, and make unique remedies that is unknown to other parts of the wastes.

Sourland Caravans - Started by survivors of the great war who took refuge in the sourland mountain park. When they came out of the facilities they could still see mushroom clouds in the sky, so they waited even longer. When they re-emerged they decieded they would ship out supplies from around the park to other nearby towns. The radiation almost stopped this relief effort immediately, but they stayed strong and enough survivors remained to continue to ship supplies. This is when all the remaining cars stopped working and they discovered Brahmin, horrible creations of the war. Eventually with more and more people making their own settlements, the people from sourland, made the sour caravans charging the wastelanders and tribals pre-war money and convenient bottle caps.

5 Main factions

Patriots of America (formerly revolutionairies if you read my ideas post)

General Washington

A boy, named Thomas and his parents who were poor and starving wondered the ruins of D.C. in the years around 2252 endlessly each and every day. When the three of them were in the area of the national mall they were attacked by a group of super mutants who had plans to capture them. The mutants unable to capture them quickly made the decision to kill them. Thomas ran to the Washington Monument and climbed all the stairs to the very top. There he made a small camp and would scavenge for food and water each day during the safety of the night, slowly gaining skills that would inevitablly help him in the future. Eventually Thomas' scavenging trips became longer and longer until one trip he got caught at the Arlington Library. Interested that day he looked up the history of America. His favorite subject was the Revolution which inspired his name Washington. His dream then became to re-establish the 13 original colonies to their former glory. At the beginning of 2272 (wiki's date) he set forth to the North. When he arrived at his home he saw men in huge suits of armor setting up a huge barrier around the monument. There he met a crazy man who told him about the good fight. Thomas took this personally as restoring America, to do this he would destroy everything "evil" that in his eyes was anti-american. Knowing how D.C. was in ruins he set his sights on Baltimore one of the nations old capitals. In 2273 when he arrived in Baltimore he found it in ruins also, he also found hundreds of people suffering from radiation poisoning and the countless raiders around. For five years he taught them what he learned how to scavenge and hide. During these years he also learned much more skills in combat and trained the wastelanders as much as he knew. In 2278 he left Baltimore on his own. Within days the wastelanders he had trained followed began to follow him as their leader, thus he named his tribe/group the Patriots of America. After discovering that Philadelphia was overrun with ghouls he decided he needed to wipe them out as they were "evil" and keeping America from being a great country again. He lead the group to New Jersey to an Air Force base. He had the group spend hours building thorough defenses. At the same time he set up a government/leadership in the visions of the Constitution. The people unanimously voted him into office as the president where he would enact a Marshall Law and control everything as a dictator. In 2296 he finally sets his sights on the his capital of America, Philadelphia.

The Patriots of America

Scavengers and Wastelanders from Baltimore were in terrible shape. They were starving and thirsty and each day was a struggle for life. In 2273 when Thomas Washington came they were suprised that anyone would come out of their way to their slice of hell. For the five years they were taught to survive by Tom they came to look at him as a leader. Finally when he left the people came together and followed him out of the city to wherever he may have gone. In 2279 when they arrived at the military base the began to scavenge immediately. They found large amounts of munitions in the base, but they could only see with binoculars. Eventually they made a team which prepared to go into the bunker. They found hundreds of skeletons crowded around one small door. Inside the first room was the luggage and and food of the hundreds of dead civilians trying to gain safety inside the bunker, unfortunately it was all highly irradiated. On the other hand their luck was still in their favor as the bunkers door has fallen apart from years of neglect. They found even more skeletons and some feral ghouls. After a couple days of fighting they found the dark recesses of the bunker which was full of food untouched by the war and guns to supply a small army. With their new weapons they set their goal to expand to take Philadelphia. They spent a decade destroying towns forcing raiders and other wastelanders to join there nation. With a growing population they had to set up a real government modeling old America as in new Constitution. They smartest men and women of the settlements came togethers and created their own Constitution. With Marshall Law enacted almost immeadiately, Washington promised his people that they could be free and finally enjoy life once they were able to set up America's new capital in Philly. To do this they needed to destroy the vast amount of ghouls in the ruins of Philly which remained largely entact. With their main goal to conquer Philly they needed to expand their armies with a proper training and soldiers.

What's New?

Washington Castle - Current day McGuire Air Force Base. I have said mostly everything in the above posts. It is used as the main base for the Patriots, and it surrounded by three walls, first concrete, second concrete, third forcefield like Fallout 3 found on the base. There is one main entrance, and an emergency exit that leads out from a sewer. There is plenty of weapons and armor. Population: 359

Adamsville - Named after Samuel Adams, other argue John Adams, only thee educated. It is the Patriots second largest city/town. This area is the main town for civilians of the faction. It is mainly a farming village to feed all the people, but there is still an armor and gun dealer in town. There are almost no military personel in the town, but it is of no interest of any place.

Fort Greene - Named after the General Nathaniel Greene, it is the second base for the military close to the front lines. It houses more men than Washington Castle, but they are mostly infantry and no specialists (not rank). It is a very simple square building surrounded by a concrete wall. It sits a couple miles away from the Delaware River and is an important role to take Philly.


The Pitt

During the conflict with the slaves, Ashur guranteed them good things to come, as his wife had discovered how to make vaccinations. The slaves listened and settled down, but not before they hunted down Wehrner. Years later after all the slaves were free of radiation, and all the trogs were wiped out. The Pitt began toexpand into the city.They discovered even more scrap metal and weapons and more ammo types. Ashure then decided to trade the ammo much more widely, excluding the Capital Wasteland. Around 2285, Ashur started to grant slaves more freedom, and hired them as workers. This decreased the soldiers pay, so the rebeled, but the loyalists were better equipped and stopped it rather quick. Ashure realized how powerful his army was and decided to expand further on around Pittsburgh. Some of the wastelanders refused to join, but most accepted this and made many farming towns to support the Pitt's growing numbers.

Towards the end of the 2280's, the Pitt looked like a good place to live. The streets were cleaned up, the people much nicer, and their terriotry thouroughly protected. With all the good things, and more to come Ashur officially announced that the Pitt would break away from the U.S. and become The United Federation of Pittsburgh. It included several cities including its Capital the Pitt, Youngstown in Ohio, and as far as Harrisburg in Pennsylvannia. With the massive expanding Ashur saw its citizens being upset, so he decided his last conquest of his life would be Philadelphia, little did he know 3 other groups wanted it too. When they arrived in Pottstown they set up camp in an old warehouse. They headed to Philly, to see men in black armor running from the town, when they investigated they found 4 dead ghouls all dressed in red. They figured it was just ordinary wasteland violence, but the next few days they kept seeing the ghouls in red shooting at any wanderers outside their wall, with intense violence at a certain few. The scouts from the Pitt reported this, and Ashur told them to lay low until they destroyed each other. With 5 years of pointless waiting, Ashur decided to take some action, he enslaved some locals and forced them to work on farms and other jobs. When he arrived personally to the sight he ordered a small group of men to set up a camp to the west of Philly. Now in 2298, their numbers have dramatically increased and there armies are ready to march onto Philly, and claim it for themselves.

Locations:

Pitt-town - Previously Pottstown, the UFP took it over first thing and established an Philly HQ here, only the leaders of the army stay here and the player can only receive a few quests, the guards here have high tier weapons from the start.

Southern HQ - The front lines for the UFP. They have most of the soldiers stationed here. The armies are rather large and the weapons are top notch. There are only tents here along with one large building used as an HQ. The UFP moved their base of operations here.

Stealers Fist - (like the football team) This is the camp where all the enslavement takes place. Slaves come thorugh have their belongings taken then distributed to the Southern HQ or Pitt-town. It is also a farming town where slaves farm furing the day, then pack munitions for the army at night.

Red Ghouls

Ghouls of Philly - after decades of punishment some ghouls were tired of being pushed around by the "bigots" Several wandered the waster as a large group, such as the ones in Broken Steel who want a New Underworld.They knew the best way to keep the humans out was with radiation. After years of wandering they discovered Philly in what seemed a pristine condition. What they didn't know what that the downtown was completely destroyed, but the surrounding area seemlessly left unharmed. They came to the area of Penn's landing and wandered from there discovering the historical sights, mainly Indeoendence Hall. They read up on all the documents and decided to call this area their own.

Slowly but surely they gathered other ghouls around. Again, knowing the humans wouldn't come with radiation the ghouls powered up some nuclear reactors, and let the toxic waster lay around the perimeter. Slowly the expanded outward making a powerful city. They also found a Military Storage sight, full of food and water for centuries, and weapons for thousands. Humans barely ever came to the ghoul "safe haven" and when they did they were questioned, and if found mysterious shot.

After brutal skirmishes with the new enemy, The Patriots, they heard time after time the patriots calling them redcoats. This made the ghouls paint all of their armor and clothing red. There weapons grunt weapons, and their armor leather, combat, and metal.

Now with the areas.

Independence Hall - The town hall of the ghouls.They use the courthouse for putting humans and trial. There is also an upstair, where all the food was transfered to keep it clean, as the radiation surrounds the perimeter. Additional ammo and armor is also stored on the second floor. The leader of the ghouls, a man named Jacob Williams also runs things from the 2nd floor office. In the basemant (I'm pretty sure there is one) you can see labs and scientists working hard. On this level they are trying to find a quick way to take radiation out of water. If you talk to some gulible scientists and hack some terminels, you can find a hidden elevator on the back wall. In the bottom of the place, a much larger lab is set up. Two basic rooms. One smaller room with feral ghouls and scientists, and another with humans and scientist. The small room full of ferals is to see if the ghouls can make them senseable, and the larger room is to see if they can turn a human into a ghoul 100% of the time.

Battleship New Jersey - A museum before the great war. The ghouls found it in the Delawat and pulled it to Penn's landing. It is uses as a military base for the ghoul redcoats. There military leaders live there, and there scientists are working on making it operational.




Most likely more to come.

Well done....

I think you should start working on the plot now. I'm in an area where I don't have wifi for my laptop but I'm almost finished the Beta version of my map and it looks great, there are raider bases, ect.

Nope :)

Maybe some can be inspired by a group of people, if that helps. Maybe they found some old stuff about Al Capone, and they dress in suits, use tommy guns, and just raid for alcohol and drugs, and what not. Called the Capones...

But I guess I'll start working on the plot soon I have a small idea.

I came up with the Aviators just by looking at the cover of Howard Hughes's biography (I also had a weird dream about it where I was in Middle School again with my cousin who's a Marine and we were all wearing the same goggles as he was) and I'm trying to come up with more ideas, but watching Wheel of Fortune with my aunt isn't exactly inpserational...

EDIT-Great (about the plot thing), I hope you come up with something, the factions are really interesting...

I'd like to see some classic weaponry. The Lever Action Shotgun was right up my alley. The Combat Shotgun reminds me of the PPSH-41 for some reason. I wouldn't mind that, that gun is a classic! I know Fallout has a "futuristic retro" theme going on, but Pre-WW2 weapons are exempt, since Fallout's universe didn't exist until after WW2.

Its the round drum and the look of the barrel :)

I'd love to discover some War Veteran's fallout bunker full of "WW2" weaponry and clothing/misc items.

This repost is a repost of a repost of a repost of a repost of a repost of a repost of a repost of a repost of a repost of a repost of a repost.


I would like Talon Company to be in Fallout 4, but not like they were in Fallout 3, I want it to be like the factions of New Vegas, with interaction and reputation. My logic is that, in a post-nuclear world like Fallout, an entity like the Talon Company would flourish into tremendous presence, even more so in areas where no large factions had developed to create order. I mean, the Talon Company is a perfect example of the perfect post-apocolyptic business model, a moderatly sized, well-equiped paramilitary force that would be deployed at the word and monetary expense of wealthy people or groups to vy for power. I dont understand how there are no other factions like them, the Talon Company should be in Fallout 4, it fits well in the setting and, frankly, the poor usage of a faction with such potential in Fallout 3 left a bad taste in my mouth, and, seeing how very well Obsidian did with factions in Fallout: New Vegas, really fleshing them out with backgrounds and interactions, I have no doubt that, if Bethesda takes some pointers from New Vegas's handling of factions, they could be a great faction in Fallout 4.

Talon Company

Talon Company is an equal opportunity employer. Talon Company is a mercenary group who has almost no restrictions on contracts, making it one of the most effective, and therefore wealthiest and best equipped, mercenary group known to exist in the wasteland, it's Regional HQ's are usually pre-war military installations, and the technical department of Talon Company is known for achieving great technological discoveries, such as the activation of Highwater Trousers. The basic Talon Mercenary is equipped with a suit of Talon Company Combat Armor, a 5.56mm R91 Urban Assault Rifle, and a Combat Knife or Police Baton, mercenaries are allowed to use their pay to purchase other weapons from any Talon Company Armory, weapons available range from the 5.56mm Type-93 Chinese Assault Rifle to the AER9 Laser Rifle to the feared Missile Launcher.

Mercenaries that prove their mettle in battle stand a chance to be promoted to Squad Leader rank and given Reinforced Talon Company Combat Armor Mk. 1 and will be in charge of a squad of 5 basic Talon Mercenaries. Another great charactaristic of the Talon Company is its orginazation, 5 Mercs and a Squad Leader make up a squad, 5 squads are led by a Talon Company Veteran Mercenary, whom wear Reinforced Talon Company Combat Armor Mk. 2 with a stylish duster, and all Veteran Mercenaries report to their respective Regional Commander. An added benefit of being a part of the Talon Company is that the Company will pay off any bounty (up to 10000 caps) for a mercenary that proves that they are loyal and can pass the recruitment tests. The training process is specially administered to weed out the weak and instill loyalty in the strong, bringing out the best in your character, defeating the worst of it. Many rumors float about, saying that the Company is "evil" or "full of maniacs", this is simply not the case, the Talon Company just doesn't pass moral judgment on those who would wish to emply Talon Mercenaries, and who needs to bog down good business with morals in the wasteland? Dispite the rumors, Talon Company does in no way practice sixual discrimination, mercenary applicants are accepted from all walks of life if they can prove themselves.

Thanks to the BoS-Enclave War, Talon Company has come into possession of a large amount of Enclave equipment and have captured some researchers, you can bet we shot those fascists! But other than the killing of those that wanted to kill all of your friends and family, the experience has also created a new rank in the Talon Company, an alternative to becoming a Squad Leader, the Talon Company Shocktrooper wears specially customized Talon Company Advanced Power Armor Mk. 2 and comes equipped with a Minigun, Gatling Laser, or Heavy Incinerator!

The Talon Company has from then gained strength, called for an end to hostilities with the BoS, and is focusing on fighting the Super Mutants, once again fighting those who would kill your friends, pets, neighbors, and all of your family.

Join Talon Company, it's exciting, worthwhile, enriching (both in experience and monetarily), and the best way to truly broaden your horizon!

Any person who wishes to join Talon Company only has to speak to your local Talon Company representative, from them you can negotiate on the purchase of mercenary contracts, or speak to them about joining Talon Company.

Probrably asked before but when I look at Skyrim I see sprinting being added.

I wonder if FO4 will have sprinting? I think it would be great to give agility a bit more use besides VATS. Also Endurance would affect how much stanima you lost during sprinting.

You think it would be a nice addition or you just going to yell "COD!" and hate the idea?

I hope sprinting comes into FO4, due to it being added to Skyrim I bet Beth will add it to the series. Just my theory anyways.

I want ot see all FO3s and FONVs regular weapons return. Love'em all. but add tweaks to make each one useful in 2 or more scenarios.

I came up with a Tribe that live in the desert that dress lot like tusken raiders. They where those nifty binocular goggles and where brown attire and are at home in dust storms.
They live among a colony of ants they have tamed and carved out their history and mythos into the tunnels of the ants. They have a liking to stealth combat and poison. They are isolationists but sometimes they may take new members among their tribe but you must swear an oath to never betray or they'll come to you in the middle of a lonesome stormy night and end you.

They where many rags and garments to cover their faces during a storm. The group is called the Sheuts. The shadow soul of the Haw or whole. They have a religion similar or mirroring that of the Egyptians. They live most of their time underground and mark out tunnels that connect to alot of the wasteland and can easily travel far so it seems they just appear and vanish without a trace. Many people call them the dust walkers or the ragged ones, or ant warriors.

They also worship solar panels near their main camp. Leaving offerings to the sun god and protecting these obelisks with their lives.

I use the sprint mod for F:NV and I love it. It's saved my live on numerous occasions, especially when the explosives start flying (another mod makes them almost certain death). The mod makes use of AP. I would love to see it in FO4 and, perhaps, better implemented (though I have no real complaints about the mod).

Great idea Mitheledh and mumatil, sprinting with the use of AP would be very good for F4.

Also, explosives not being nerfed would be great too.
