I think a DLC involving a more opened up wasteland, since most of the map is not in use currently (Though it could be in future dlcs). Some form of enhanced combat, where enemies are more tactical like from that one mod for Fo3, 'Combat Enhanced' I believe. Possibly give us a special menu option for 'Game Enhancement' To add what we think we need (out of a decent amount of options) Such as:
---Level cap (people who want to be god can be god, and those that want a challenge can have more of a challenge, through disabling the level cap or decreasing it, possible eliminating previously earned levels.
---Difficulty (Better equipped enemies, larger groups of them, even enemies in larger concentration) This could be split up into different complex sections for those who don't want for example larger enemies with better equipment.
even tampering with how fast the meters deplete on hardcoe.
---Item rarity (enemies wont have nearly as much ammo left, or items on them, as if supplies are running out).
---More weapons and quests (I would hope so, am I right?) I would personally like to help restore some of Freeside for quests, because that place is in need of some help, for example. These weapon ideas could be taken out of the thread about what weapons we would want to see in future dlcs. So it would pretty much be more of a Shivering Isles in size, perhaps? Or even helping the Brotherhood establish it's power above ground again through quests and not ending dialogue, I want to be there, dammit! (Unless you hate the Brotherhood, then maybe the Enclave.. unless you hate them too).
---Back to the 'Game Enhancement' options. Another thing I liked from mods was the one that had the travelers in the wasteland, for immersion, escorting them to different places for rewards or just killing them for loot. The options for 'Game Enhancement' would allow for options similar to that mod. (How many travelers in a cell, how often do certain events happen, ect) If you ask me the Mojave is a little to... Desolate and empty, and can cause mild depression in younger teens.
---Improving certain weapon's accuracy, a modern weapon that has a rifled barrel should have more accuracy, a good example of this is the BAR. This could be an option through the 'Enhancement' This would also increase enemy accuracy, as well.
---More staging grounds for the Legion and maybe NCR (The NCR have a good amount of camps as it is), Because the current conflicts are small and pathetic. Let's look at Nelson for example... Forlorn Hope soldiers couldn't take it, yet they had like double the amount of soldiers in the camp than the amount of Legion at Nelson.. which was like 7 people and two dogs.. I mean come on, Seriously? It would be nice to see some stalemates between the Legion and NCR in some areas, to show that the NCR can't hold it's ground all the time, people shooting at each other on both sides, but using a sort of smarter AI that knows how to take cover could prevent a battle lasting 30 seconds.
---The Legion needs some more influence in the Mojave.
---And also, we need to look at this from a more realistic side (Even on a game that lacks basic realism, in certain aspects.) that one person can't be an all-powerful being capable of single-handedly taking out a whole legion or NCR camp with close to no effort. Where's the hiding behind cover and trying to not get shot at and allowing your squadmates (Companions if you have any) to help cover you by supressing fire and such. Which the one mod I mentioned before seemed to accomplish at least where npcs needed cover when getting shot at and reloading and not standing out in the open.
---With 'Enhancement' the option to increase bullet damage so that you can feel like a normal human being, If you want to feel normal.
And also mentioned above is Legion Quests, Legion Quests, Legion Quests. I'm no 'Legion really devoted fan' but I agree.. The NCR is more of a favored faction in this game, because of all the stuff you can do for them.Tthe Legion is insignificant in this aspect even though it's one of the main factions, and not a sub faction.
To add to this I've gathered some of this stuff from my time playing Fo3 mods (at least what I can remember from playing them) so, I'm not trying to steal any ideas here if it's in a mod.
Anything to add from the community (props or 'that blows, you got your ideas from playing some of the mods'), and NO VEHICLES..... For New Vegas anyways.
EDIT: A DLC based more on the ideas of the community.
