dont u think some people would like the idea of Camos, or red dot sights i would thats why i started this topic i just wanted to see how many other people would enjoy it. I mightve exaggerated in a Good Feature but it would probably be an enjoyable feature for most people and a bad one for others

In response, the idea of camo is...irrelevant at best. It'd be a feature without context that would appear entirely out of place in the Fallout world. These are things to consider- does it fit? And if not, how can you make it fit? If you can't...well, that idea probably wasn't the best and isn't the only one that shot down in a hail of gunfire, kemosabe.

...Camo is not very Fallout, and I cannot believe I'm actually saying that.

Fallout has enuff power armors. and by depper customization i only meant on the weapons i havent mentioned anything else and no Call of Duty was only good for the online i like customizing my m16 and the acr to something that was right for me which was holo sights, most people who play mw2 liked the the ablity to change the color of your weapon and they had a unique attachment people who liked customizing their guns in MW2 might also enjoy customizing weopons in FNV the same way

No it's just ridiculous. Maybe like 12 year olds that play call of duty all the time might find it to be an enjoyable feature... some others would see it as not very plausible in the fallout universe. When I read this thread earlier I was logged out and I couldn't post... and I was relieved... because I thought the thread got locked. And I realized I was just logged out and I thought. "I feel bad for you little kid. These people are going to think this thread is unnecessary."

And more features solely for the purpose of having more features is a good thing how? I mean, unless one wants to see the franchise become just another in the long list of games that died off because they turned into little more than feature-festivals and the time to add every craptastic gimmick under the sun took too much away from adding anything beyond "Gimmicks, gimmicks, and more gimmicks," that is.

Metal recon suits are "very fallout", tires and leather straps are very fallout. BB guns are very fallout... I bet you you'll never see bullet penetration, acogs, or red dots in fallout. And especially not custom camo.

Because it's not a military shooter.

Maybe the camo can be a stat bonus or something i mean if it blends in it could be like a +5 stealth stat bonus camo maybe i shouldve thought this over more than just instantly posting it maybe camo wouldnt be a great idea but when i started this i thought it would be great and i didnt think of how other people might react to camo or red dots

I actually almost vomited a little in my mouth when I said "Not very Fallout", as I detest it so much as a pillow phrase when people don't have a point to make in an arguement...

I used to play MW2. And I know mostly what you guys enjoy is running in circles and shooting each other. Find another game. Black Ops and Medal of Honor are coming out within the year.

Stat Bonus's...You're not hearing me. It's not how it fits mechanically, it's how it fits the game world. That's what's most important at play here.
And indeed, I agree, you should have thought this over a bit more, maybe lurk and see how people are. This is what we do around here.

maybe i shouldve thought this out more but to me it seems like a good idea to ME. i like the mods that made F3 more modern but the game itself is a great game i loved the way it was Post Apocalyptic, I loved the fallout franchise before i started this thread i was playing Fallout 3 and it just came into my head. I thought to myself if Fallout New Vegas would be better with this this. I myself liked the fact of camos and sights i posted this thread to see other peoples opinions. But now i know before i start a new one to think it over

Red dot sights require batteries. Batteries which would be better off powering something else and people would want it powering something else rather than something that the iron sights work just fine for.

The camo, I wouldn't really see happening. The desert is well ... desert. The USA was fighting a war in Canada, China, and Alaska where exactly would desert fit into that? Also, things like Combat Armor and Power Armor I presume are all military issue which means that they would all either have the traditional forest or snow camouflage (except for Power Armor, which is not capable of stealth so why bother painting it). Yes, people could paint them camouflage but it barely even works IRL, so why really bother? Except for just design or something.

Those are the reasons why I don't think they should be implemented but I still may be wrong with the whole camouflage thing.

Batteries in FNV are goin to be mostly useless because the hoover dam is goin to be powering almost every power source so batteries might be used for radios or whatever they decide to put in the game

Hell, I don't even know if there are batteries in the Fallout universe.

Well dude I think these guys making those mods on their PC version of fallout 3 is akin to someone scribbling in a history book. While it may be what they want... it isn't accurate and definitely probably is not the representation that us more traditional fans are looking for and therefore that kind of material will probably be incorporated into any future fallout titles.

the only batteries i know are fission batteries but those arent really used unless your making custome weapons

please gitfoe

Red dot sights, no. Camo, eh, can't see it for this enviroment (Fallout timeline).
But among those types of weapon Mods, How about a flashlight duct taped to my rifle (I hate the pip boy light) ?
And from the late fifties [src="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zielger%C3%A4t_1229"] from 1945...... a night scope

Like i said the idea of sights and stuff might be good only for certain players like me. But i know now that people like you dont like it and would rather prefer classic Apocalyptic, kill to survive Fallout that i also enjoy playing

Alright i agree with you duct taped flashlight is genius i understand how it would fit in the timeline and everything it just sounds so much like fallout

I thought Fallout New Vegas has customizable weapons already? i saw a lazer rifle with some sort of scope attached to it in a trailer... and that is awesome. I hope they do have a bit of weapon customization with a fallout twist to it. Like using duct tape to attach a flashlight to a weapon, as someone previously stated. Or taping two magazines together to lessen reload time. That's the customization i would like to see.

red dot sights can work in fallout! just look at my interpretation! = http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/7885/10985492.jpg

ok , the only people who would even think about red dot sights and acog and crap are call of duty [censored] who want every game to be like call of duty, its not a good idea , fnv has scopes that you can put on some guns isnt that enough,
i would rather the devs spend the time making new enemies or another quest or something getting rid of glitches instead of just wasteing time making red dot sights and crap to make the cod [censored] happy
THIS IS NOT CALL OF DUTY!!!

Gotta be messin with me son? Red dot, ACOG you say? I think theres areadly a game with all them gizmo's. ITS CALLED COD! WHAT IS THIS? FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS! NOT COD!!! there, I have released the days stress

The only way to make FO anything like COD is to strip away 95% of the story, 95% of the detail, put it on rails and toss out Gamebryo.
And don't dare put a little red dot in the middle of the already existing scope or you'll ruin the game.
