Hi so iwas thining about fallout a few dayts ago (in perticuler the combat) now I love fallout but i have a gripe with the real tiome combat. using the pip boy targeting is good don't get me wrong it's impressive but I would love to have aoptin to fight a bit like oen would fight ina FPS so for exapaela hit or miss is based on your real skill if you really wan't to leval up in a kind of gun shouly you could like decrease lode times and recoile and the tiem beween each shot so as to really drive it hiome ehre is an example

Player: leval 1

Gun: pistol

Relode time: 10 seconds

recoil: deflection 5%

time untl nect shot 1sec

now the players skill with the gun is down to him he could in theroy get 100% accurcy al leval 1 and as he used that gun his skill increases so as tiem progreeses he levals up so lets fast fored to leval 10

Player: leval 10

Gun: pistol

Relode time: 1 seconds

recoil: deflection 0%

time untl nexct shot 0.3 sec

the power of the gun is the same bullits do as much damage at leval 1 then at leval 10 so it's mire of an FPS stle combat but apart from that I love how the rest of the game works as an RPG it is sublime the only thing bringig it down is the combat in my eyes

So, you want to take out the RPG elements from an RPG? Isn't that what Call of Duty is for?

Dude find a spell check or type slower that was hard going. First you can do this prity much already just do not press your vats button and it stays in 1st / 3rd person view you can also look down your sights.
Second it's a rpg you know skills trees and stats. The hole point is to start off as weak as a kitten and work your way up to a god of war type

Before this gets locked.... Perhaps we can have a thread that is just dedicated to combat in the Fallout series going forward. Just suggestions, ideas, and possibilities that would go for both Fallout and ES lines going forward.

- I would like to see weapon malfunctions return and be determined by weapon type, weapon skill, weapon condition, ammunition used, and environmental factors.

- I would like HtH and melee revamped and made deadlier to make such builds a viable alternative to ranged builds with the caveat being Range. In CQB and when said builds get within striking range they should dominate untrained ranged NPCs

- Armor having hit points instead of PCs and when said armor is breached the PC getting crippled limbs, etc

More to come, just want to get the ball rolling in a productive direction

it was just for the guns and stuff i still wan't skil trees for things like crafting and armour and stuff it was just an idea slso a skill tree for melee wold be a really good adation

with the guns was thinking a bit lke Deus Ex style of combat

I think combat is fine the way it is in new vegas. Not perfect mind you, but I feel no pressing need for an overhaul, or major changes.
