First of all i would like to say that i realy admire bethesda company and all
the games they have made over the past years!
From The Elder Scrolls to Fallout series all of them were huge success and
awsome to play.
I am realy looking forward to the new Fallout: New vegas game.

Let me get to the point i have a suggestion for 2 types of weapons i would
like(LOVE) to see in the upcoming Fallout:New Vegas game.

The first is a BOW... Yes a BOW with ARROWS .
Since the game is based in New Vegas(never been there ) there are lot of
indian reservations and indians living there.
You could obtain the BOW from some indian or you could just find it in the game.
Face it we all love bows and arrows since Robin Hood age. Bows are just awsome and every game that has a bow
as a weapon is a definite buy (Oblivion, Tf2...).
Just imagine doing silent kills and "hanging" people on the wall with arrows.
You have different types of bows and arrows. For example if you have a metal bow your bow is heavier but
more deadly and a lot less breakable or you have a wodden bow that is lighter but a lot less deadlier.
Then there come the arrows. You can have metal, glass, some alien like metal heads that produce different amounts of damage.
You can for example add a bomb to the head of the arrow or you can set it on fire.
Just imagine doing a slowmo shoot in V.A.T.S. with headshot. Arrow piercing your head
flying in air in slowmotion. V.A.T.S. is an awsome thing and it can be used
to shoot one arrow making an instant kill and use all v.a.t.s or if you dont use
v.a.t.s. then it takes you 4-6 arrows to kill an enemy depending on the bow
and arrow type.
Basicly the thing is to remake the bow from oblivion(make it more sci-fi (add some scopes, lasers)) and put it in new vegas.

The second is the weapon from painkiller series called Stakegun.
For example you could build the gun via schematics or obtain it.
It could shoot plungers or railway spikes(or just wodden/metal stakes).
The ammo would have the same effect as arrows(when your shot the ammo is stuck in you).
The weapon could be automatic or semiautomatic...

adding some youtube videos to see how awsome and fun a bow can be

I think that the bow and arrow in the fifties would have been a crossbow withsome cool gagets (sorry for my typing I'm on an iP
od touch right now)

There is already a http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1092993-will-there-be-bows-and-crossbows/, and wishes for weapons go in the general http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1091067-weapons/. Thanks.
