Some kind of gun loving, silver-tongued thief/mercenary. Do what I want, it just so happens that whatever I want is directly related to how many caps you'll give me to do it. I can get the job done, but it'll cost ya.
I wasn't expecting survivalist to be so popular... lol. I see a survivalist as someone who is just trying to get by.. no real direction other than survival, in a way, kinda weak IMO (for me that is.) I'd like to have a bit of control over my destiny in the harsh mojave wastes!

that control is called currency, so that later, when I decide to settle down, I'll not only have the killing skills, but also the currency to buy happiness

Honestly though, I also wish I could just play the game as a raider, and just pick off wandering wastelanders, or go around in raiding parties and take out rival gangs, or raid small settlements regularly.. y'know. actually play the role

oh well. I'll settle with a merc for now

I also have the desire to play a melee/unarmed ninja thief character. I just hope sneak works effectively in New Vegas, so that I can actually sneak around. Maybe give us the stealth suit, or a high-level perk that allows us to go nearly invisible unless caught pickpocketing, or unless attacking. something like that. that would be awesome! maybe some DLC?
