I don't know how to deal with this. I literally never agree with you but those are ideas I really like and agree with. I like the NPCs one also just don't agree we didn't get that with the later games. Anyway those are past things it would be nice to include.

The Enclave and BoS locked in a fierce battle for the FUTURE of HUMANITY!

Actually, Harold. I missed him in FNV. Also more loony NPCs like Fantastic and No-Bark.

• groinshots/eyeshots
• I know the textbox comments aren't working with the modern Fallout, but I'd love to see enemies behave/comment similar to what the textboxes stated when you (crit) shot enemies
• the wonky humor from Fallout 2 (I know there's some who dislike it, but to me it was one of the things that made Fallout. Being in ridiculous situations and being an obnoxious twit about it, even if I reloaded a moment later to chose a more serious chat option.)
• more opportunities to use repair/science to do things/solve quests

Repairable cars would be nice, I don't see how a car can be more difficult to repair than a Vertibird and there have been a fair few of those knocking about in 3 and NV for example.

What's with all of these Wattz Laser weaponry request? That's some rather plebeian taste if you ask me. Some more classy weapons I'd bring back would be the Winchester P94 model of the Plasma Rifle and a return of Pulse energy weapons.

But getting Traits back would be nice. Honestly, I see no reason for their removal in Fallout 3 and why it should continue being nonexistent after its implementation into newer Fallout games after New Vegas. It was a unique factor in character creation that would make your characters more unique in benefiting them while at the same time having draw backs. Not to mention it was entirely optional in the first place.

Definitely Harold. If he wouldn't reappear it would make his appearence in Fallout 3 much more shallow, since it would need to be taken seriously.

Harold should remain the joke he has become and be featured in all main Fallout titles to come.

They could mae some stupid joke that he sprung forth from a flower from one of his trees(dont ask) sometime after the LW passed through

Fantastic foundation. If some of Bob's offspring became Harold clones you wouldn't need any further explanation and you could experiment with this concept in each follow-up title (different context, same Harold).

Also it would add a mystery to Fallout 3's Harold: Is he the original or 'just' a clone?

Harold should kinda be like M'aiq in TES. If they just let him be in each game, without a real story tied to him, we can pretend what they did to him in F3 didn't happen.

OFC, Harold/Bob's offspring Harolds would still have thier own Bobs on thier heads too.

And since we know Harold can "see" through the trees Bob makes, what if Harold is seeing everything all of his/Bob's offspring do as well?

Instead of being seperate entties, they are actually just some tree based hive mind creature. ALL of them are the REAL Harold/Bob, just projecting themselves through offspring avatars.

A Barter system like that of Fallout 1's system. Also, more varied responses and consequences similar to Fallout 1 but more improved upon.

I'd love to see the return of:

• Skills
• Traits
• C&C
• The ability to fail (hopefully the failstates in Fallout 4 offer this).
• Moral ambiguity
• The original dialogue system, along with the concomitant ability to turn npcs against the pc via their dialogue responses.
• Low intelligence dialogue
• Unique weapons (I don't think they'll be in Fallout 4)

Though on a more plausible and less pollyannaish note (though not by much).

I'd love to see Goris or possibly Xarn.

Though if I'm being pragmatic i'd probably suggest Xarn being a companion instead, as there's less backstory and character development for Bethesda to misinterpret (Harold being a salient example).

This sounds like Legion from Mass Effect, which I suppose is a rather apt source to draw ideas from (I jest).

I'm against Harold being part of this interdependent hive mind (for fairly evident reasons), but the notion is an interesting and as with legion, the potential moral quandaries are great.

Its the logical conclusion of his character. I assumed he would eventually turn into such a thing even when I played Fallout 1.

Its the reverse of Legion actually.

Legion was multiple AIs put into one body, Harold one be one sentience spread among many bodies.

I don't understand this one, either. The wattz laser rifle design, at least, always struck me uninspired, uninteresting and possibly even down right lazy. All they did was take a standard rifle silhouette (stock, barrel, everything), slap some wires on it and say that it shoots lasers now. The inclusion of the long barrel particularly gets me because guess what lasers don't need? Yup, a long barrel.

Herbert seeds. "they taste great if you call them Bob, they release a foul stench if you keep calling them herbert"

that is all

M-72 Guass rifle

More V.A.T.S options (eyes, gonads,etc.)

Critical failures

Random critical hits

Actual Choice and Consequence

Dark humor

Terrible Shotgun, Gauss Rifle, and some Alien guns are the only thing I can think of.

fo1/2: apart from lore/weapons nothing really maybe pormstar & boxer they were a nice money dispensers.

What an odd concept. Where do you get this stuff? Who thinks like that? http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1532160-what-things-from-past-fallout-games-would-you-like-to-see/?p=24260022

In my head canon the tree was getting really detrimental to Harold's health as it grew larger. Early on their way east to D.C. a Brotherhood scribe came across him, took pity on him, and performed emergency surgery to remove the tree. The surgery was imperfect and a bit of brain had to come out with it. Harold survived and as payment let the scribe keep the mutant tree as a scientific curiosity. While mapping out the Capital Wasteland, the scribe perished and the tree on her person was forgotten. The mutant tree grew and voila-giant tree Harold. Explains how he came out east so far from home and also keeps him open for future appearances.

Would he have a high pitch voice? Cause while I let him live in fallout 3 I don't think I can stand a high pitch voiced flower whining at me for very long.

I had the idea some time ago to continue the legacy of Harold via sentient fruit children. Like really fat Ghouls, but really they're like Pear Mutants and just up and went "Well, see ya later Harold." And Harold was like "Oh, okay, Harold, you be good out there now. Bob'll miss ya."

Lasers might not NEED a long barrel but if you are aiming with iron sights a long barrel helps A LOT. Have you ever tried aiming with a pistol over long distances? The short range between the post and the notch on a pistol makes a it a [censored] to get on target when sniping work that you would do with the laser rifle.

"But you don't kneed iron sights using a laser" I hear you say... "Just correct the beam onto the target". The only reason we see Fallout lasers is because of REASONS and in real life the beam is all but invisible, only becoming visible when dust particles enter the beam.

So yeah, having a long barrel helps, if only to assist the aiming process.

So let me get this straight. You're going to add a long, cumbersome and completely superfluous barrel onto the laser gun JUST so you can have better iron sights? In this case it's a moot point anyway. From the pics, the wattz laser rifle doesn't even have iron sights. It just has a scope.
