I think Fallout: New Vegas needs backpacks to look cool, increase carrying capacity, and to drop a series of items or give a series of items to a companion like weapons and ammo or med supplies. I think this mainly because the book of Eli was awsome and Eli looked cool with that backpack. what do you all think?

One word: Wheelbarrow. Or maybe a wagon or old shopping cart. Would instantly make New Vegas the best RPG of all time.

Backpacks would be cool, maybe you could upgrade them so they can have a higher carrying capacity and look coller and stuff.

What? Why? Because you can carry all of your stuff everywhere? Get the game for PC and make your carry weight infinite or something. Being able to carry everything (or maybe 300 lbs. more) would make it ridiculously dumb, sorry.

small rucksack --> + 50 carrying, no penalty
larger rucksack -> +75 carrying, -1 AGL
the big one I carried -> + lots, -2 AGL, -2 END... and it makes you dumber after carrying it awhile.. -it did me.

I can dig that. Makes sense. If they do implement them, then let's hope that they don't look stupid.

O Rly?

lol but yeah backpacks would be cool there are already plenty of mods for backpacks on nexus.

i would seriously love backpacks, different sized ones with different consequences, maybe only for hardcoe mode? I'd dig that

Nah, I'm just being silly. How ridiculous would it look to be pulling around a children's wagon filled with junk as a legion of Super Mutants swarmed on you? :hehe:

No, in my opinion 1 anus is enough.

Backpacks are not cool. Maybe if they were invisible and simply an upgrade system like in Dragon Age, but i would have to mod it out if it was visible

But im not going to worry because i know for a fact that they wont include it. Its rediculous and stupid.

ridiculously highlarious :gun: :ahhh: :rofl:

Nah don't make it like borderlands.

That sounds good

It would be cool if you could have a small backpack and a caravan and a follower to help you guard it like the traders.

Yeah, carrying capacity should reuire a backpack for more than a few items.

Also, it would be cool to buy a mule, bramin or other pack animal to carry stuff

Who knows, maybee you can buy a guy from Ceasers Legion that hauls the back third of a car around behind you, giving you trunk space on wheels...

Whatever system is used, you should see it and not have your stuff dissapear into your Pip-Boy...

I first read the title as bloodpacks... I was worried, as they managed to really annoy me, by being extra weight when I 'take all' from a healthbox, and the fact that the blood is 200 years old and hasn't turned to black pudding messed with my head too [/tangent]

Anyway, I think backpacks would be great, and more believable than having loads of guns in what are basically your pockets

Oh, and something (along the lines of backpacks) that would fit well with the hydration system is canteens of water. they should be able to be filled from any source, so you can take the water with you in more ways than just bottles. as the scribe in the purifier says 'under the water, glug glug glug, filled with water'

Honestly, I dont see where a backpack will make you carry more weight. You can only carry so much weight, the backpack just allows you to carry many smaller items (such as carrying 200 tin cans that I had the other day). Other than that I dont personally seeing a backpack ever increasing the weight you can carry in real life. So as far as game wise goes for carrying more, I think there should be a option to fix up a junked car into a "wagon" to be towed by some beast of burden and you just pile your excess junk you found in the car.

Why do you people think backpacks look cool?

They look awesome in FP.

Try humping eighty pounds of gear from your car to your house, without a rucksack.

I can't do it.

With one I can/could/ought to if pressed carry one ten hours, and cover ground..

Because they want you to go to school in "New Vegas" like "Fallout 3" :goodjob:

They wanna put stickers on it and stuff.

My guess is there won't be backpacks due to certain weapons that already have back-mounted ammo supplies or power packs.

Simple negate. If one, then nay the other.

a shopping cart wud b off the hook i wud act like a homless guy and steal from the rich give to the poor and shot the wasteland [censored]es up with my cleverly hidden gun
