1. Helmets, headgear, eye wear etc.
Anything covering your eyes should give you sometype of tint or "looking through the mask" type effect. Maybe you place a Power Armor helmet on. A medium green tint would become your new screen and this would vary according to the headgear you are wearing. Then maybe you could modify it to have special abilities like thermal vision, target percentage indicator, or nightvision. Then lets say your helmet becomes damaged in combat. Not only would you temporarily lose the use of your mods but the damage would also appear on screen. The damage of course would be shown according to how the player is looking outward. (Cracks on screen, breaks, ect) (just image someone punching you in the eye while you are wearing glasses)
2. Chem Effects
When a chem is injested, there should be an animation. After the animation the effects should kinda creep up on the PCs screen whether playing in 1st person or 3rd. Needless to say, the screen should do something... CHEMMY! Some chems like cateye and steady nailed this to a certain aspect but I want to see this taken to another level if possible. (Psycho could possibly turn your screen blood red which could cause slight visibility issues, yet turn you into a gunslinging, bug stomping maniac! And the more you take, the more your visuals become enhanced or changed and the chems effects become more powerful. Overdose would be a factor, but I will get more in depth with chems and the affects on another post) but I think it would be cool to see the player down a bottle of buffout and become a musclehead juggernaut who still must strategically use his abilities because no one is completely bulletproof.
3. Bullet and Melee Attack Wounds
When you shoot someone in the chin we should see the bullet wound on their chin (unless you have bloody mess, cause then their chin will just be everywhere! ) but I want to see how different weapons affect the bodies. You hit someone with a well timed crowbar to their computer, I wanna see some brainz! A knife to the nasal region should send the ol' snozzer flying. Or you unload a whole clip on a guy with your "tommy gun", then his guts should be pumped fulla lead! Holes and bodily damage is what im asking for. Not to say FO hasnt already incorporated this into gameplay. But im just saying.. "Next Level"
Please give your thoughts and ideas I honestly love to hear them.
