I was wondering what enemies and factions you would all like to see in coming titles. Returning factions and enemies? New factions and enemies?(thats a given) What do you want them to act like? A bunch of wannabe astronauts? A group of people that worship aliens as gods? Let me know:)

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Mutant_Liberation_Army.

If gamesas brings back aliens, my facepalm will be measured in Richter's scale.

Lyons Bos, maybe with a different name.

And a faction that is sort of like the rebels in the American Revolution, lead by a guy named George Washington. Maybe called the patriots.

I want to see some proper tribal factions. Some real nitty gritty types, who wear loincloths and stuff like that. Tribals are already supposed to speak their own created languages, so lets get some of that. Honest Hearts did okay for the time it took, but I think expanding on them would be cool with today's route Fallout's taken.

Some sort of Ghoul sanctuary/settlement, like the Reservation, rather than someplace like Underworld. Underworld was a joke. The Ghoul sanctuary/settlement, should be vicious and mean, and threatening to strangers who they're unfamiliar with and would possibly do harm to them. Strength in numbers is what they like.

Some sort of Techno-scientific group, able to rival or somewhat compete with the Brotherhood of Steel. Their whole thing isn't to horde tech like the BoS, nor are they some paramilitary types, but they want to help teach and show the people they're in contact with, how to use the tech to the best of their ability. They'd basically be a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technocracy society/faction, looking to use technology once again to better people's lives.

Agreed, especially with the last one.

i will be glady to see a ghoul faction. and no "evil" faction that you cannot enter.
NCR is cool too.

Enclave again! Include Sargeant William Perry in there!

I'm quite in love with Caesar's Legion and really want to see them develop into something really great. They deserve it.

Also, funny pirates.

Indeed.

And Lyons BoS, MWBoS, slavers, FoA, Merc factions, new tribal faction or two, a Vault faction who successfully used Geck(and maybe allied with Enclave), all joinable and not KoS until your actions make them enemy.

Lyon's BoS so we can wipe those boyscouts out.

Hey, it sounds interesting on the paper!

I think they should make Talon Company a main faction, that would be cool.

So...you want the Followers of the Apocalypse in?

No, because the FotA, are nothing more than pacifists who help those that can't help themselves. What I'm talking about, is a group who isn't pacifist, who understands that force has to be met by force in some circumstances, and is very choosy on who they help since their Technocratic ways lead them to be very selective on who gets what. Like I said, they're really into technology like the BoS, gathering it up for use, but are willing to share it unlike the BoS, and the FotA isn't that technologically advances except in the medical field, which this new group would be advances medically and more so in other fields. This new faction, would be about introducing high-end weaponized technology to people of their very selective procedure, teaching them along the way to properly use it, rather than just hoarding it like the BoS does.

Basically they'd be a mix between the BoS and FotA, but would see either one of those factions as flawed, as one was too greedy and militaristic, while the other was too trusting and willing to help.

I gotta agree, I'd love to see the Legion back. Maybe we could get a glimpse of Flagstaff?

You freakn know it. Lol

Seriously though, it was a real let down not being able to join them.
I always pretended/RPd that I was part of Talon Cpy. Until they started shooting me ofcourse.

Reavers (no not the ghouls)
Beastlord remnants

Talon Company as long as they aren't just one dimensional bad guys like they are in Fallout 3.

That's pretty close to Lyon's BoS, if they'd learn the Follower's advanced understanding of agriculture, medicine, and chemistry.

Another gang of greasers. I'm all for power-armored boy scouts and Romanesque warriors in football padding, but leather jacket and Tunnel Snake hair has been my standard attire by the end of almost every playthrough of Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and I'll be damned if the streak doesn't continue.

But I digress, the return of the slavers - the kind you can actually work for a la Fallout 3 - and a sort of bounty hunter/mercenary group, with specific targets in mind, specific goals and such.

No, it's not, where did you get that from?

Lyon's BoS is willing to accept anyone into their ranks, as long as they can wield a gun and accept BoS law/rules, same as the Followers. This faction as I said, is not willing to just give tech and knowledge away, nor do they just accept people and let them be apart of the faction. They're selective, as I said, on who they give the tech and information to. They'd have a whole selective process they'd have created, that wastelanders would have to meet, to begin learning and advancing technologically and medically, etc.

They wouldn't be like the Lyon's BoS, West Coast BoS, or FotA. They might share some similarities as I said, but again, as I said, this faction would view the BoS (either West Coast or Lyon's), and FotA, as flawed since they lean to either one side or the other. One is too violent, the other too peaceful, while Lyon's BoS would be seen as too accepting.

If they were in the game, a character would need to have a high medical, science, and repair skill, along with a decent energy weapon or other weapon skill, to get much done with them at all. If not, they'd be very selective on what you were allowed to see, hear, and get from them. To join, would be difficult, and wouldn't just be a few fetch quests to get into their good graces.

Tribals. Maybe pull a Fallout 2 and have them be the descendants of Amata and the other Vault 101ers. I don't think the player should necessarily be one of them like in Fallout 2, but having them there as a nod to past Fallouts would be cool. A tribal party member would be amazing, as I'm a huge fan of both Sulik and Follows-Chalk.

Um... the Talon mercs, but this time as a legitimate organisation. Ease up on the badguy angle, and make them more grey. They take any contract, so that should include some that aren't overtly evil, or at least don't involve mindless assassinations. For example, have them hired out to guard a caravan company (perhaps Uncle Roe's caravans really flourished with the Lone Wanderer's help). But, because they're kind of jerks, have them hired out by a rival company, and disguised as raiders, attacking the very same caravans.

Ashur's raiders have the potential to be either a shining beacon of civilisation, or a Caesar's Legion-style raider army. Either way, they gotta be in.

Lyon's BoS. I'd really like to see Arthur Maxson as a party member.

Outside of throwbacks to Fallout 3 (which would only really make sense on the East Coast, anyway), I'd love to see different gangs of raiders that are actually differentiated from one another like in New Vegas.

So pretty darn similar to FO1 and NV BoS to me. Selective? Check.

Btw someone said FotA are pascifists? I think they are more "combat challenged". Pacifists generally don't have armed mercs hanging around. And Gannon sure is wicked fun with that Plasma Defender! Here we go!!!!!!!!

it would be interesting to see lyon's bos 10 years later ah what was that kids name something maxson as leader in a deferent area like lyon ordered him to go to x to investigate rumor of dangerous tech but i want a evil faction to join not moraly gray like a mafia kingpin of sorts who wants what every evil kingpin wants power sorry can't remember the kids name

No, not like the BoS, I already explained why. One reason being because in those games, all you have to do to join is do some missions for them to get into their good graces. With this faction, that's not an option, like I said in that very post you quoted, it would be very difficult to join them, and wouldn't be fetch quests to get you into their good graces. You either have the necessary skills to pass their checks, or you're not in to join, and are seen as any other outsider. I don't see how being selective, is a trait only focused by the BoS, either. Caesar's Legion is selective too, but that doesn't make them the same as the BoS.

And it was me who said the FotA were pacifists, which they are. Just because they hire mercenaries for protection, doesn't mean they're pro-violence, they're obviously competent enough to understand one needs to protect oneself from hostile people and creatures, which is why they hire-out for protection, and in some cases carry a weapon as a last resort. Their priorities aren't, or ever have been, focused on violence or greed, but helping the sick and needy.

IC. Well if you really want to make it hard to join a group I would throw in a stat requirement and 2 or 3 perks. Now that would be dedication.

And peaceful/helping and pacifist pretty different. But there are kinda different levels of pacifism I guess. Cuz I think FotA would kill and use violence.

I already figure that the requirement would be for the PC to have the skills I said above, all be 10, and anything less would get you only so far, but to join would be 10 across each one of those skills (except either Guns, Melee, or Energy Weapons which could be as low as 8), and of course passing the various checks they'd have to make sure you weren't just a fraud or something.

And do you really understand what Pacifism is? A Pacifist is someone who's against violence, period. They do everything in their power, to use peaceful ways of protest and conduct, rather than to use violence. the FotA, are Pacifists. They're not looking to start any violence with anyone, they're looking to help people, but understand violence can and will be enacted on them at some point, so they hire mercenaries to protect them. Carrying weapons, would be a last resort for any Pacifist, just like any form of violence is a absolute last resort, which they would undoubtedly not start first but the violence would have to be forced onto them till they're all out of options. There is no difference between Pacifism and peacefulness, the two go together hand-in-hand.
