I would be sad if Nuka Grenades didn't make it in, because that's the coolest looking explosion ever.

YAY!! I didn't know that

A .357 Magnum bullet (for example) can escape a carbine-length barrel at about 50% higher velocity than it leaves a modest pistol barrel. Though ballistics is more complicated than how fast a bullet travels, the practical damage inflicted by a bullet out of a rifle can be significantly more than the same bullet out of a pistol.

monsters and armours should have damage resistance and damage threshold,

But that still doesn't excuse the .32 pistol (and the 10mm, and the Chinese Pistol) from being a peashooter. They still fire bullets and should still inflict at least similar damage as a rifle. Just much less range and accuracy (but of course they got THOSE right...)

I know it doesn't really follow the tradition of fallout, but I would like it to be a little more realistic in terms of post-apocalyptic survival. In my game, firearms and bullets would be extremely rare and most weapons would be homemade things like the nailboard or bat. Bows might be around, but very rarely would you ever find a functioning rifle. How long after the war has it been and how long has there been the BoS/Enclave battle? There wouldn't be much left in terms of classic weapons. Sure, energy weapons are about, but they should still be rare. For those you who haven't read "The Road," the novel is somewhat Falloutesque and there are only two bullets in the entire novel, one of which never gets fired. I don't want NV to be completely devoid of guns, but you should feel a sense of accomplishment when you find ammo. That and the prospect of using or making homemade weapons sounds pretty neat. In F02, you started out with a spear and a knife. There should be reason to build up your melee skill.

More energy weapons. Also, make them unqiue and have the same variety as Small Guns. Atleast a scoped laser rifle.

I was just referring to how the pistol was something like 5 or more times more damaging than the rifle. I assumed their was a bit of a reason, but that seems drastic.

On a side-note, thanks for the reply, and I'm glad developers are listening.

Yeah. I played F3 on my PS3 and then played CoD2 on my 360 a few hours later and was like, "Hhheeeeyyy. . . <_<"

I would prefer to see some pump action shotguns, or if we're going to have a semi-auto shotgun it needs to be like an AA12 or something, just not a PPSh.

There should also be a better variety of pistols in NV. I'd really love to see a .500 magnum or a special .44 that you pick up off a guy named Harry. . .

Agree

I was disappointed you couldnt lay down your own traps in fallout 3 so maybe something you can deploy like setup baseball turrets or beartraps even laydown tripwires set to explosives or the heavy object attached to the ceiling on a chain favourite

Are you going to lug all of that crap around like you could landmines?

You could carry around fishing wire, some explosives, maybe a beartrap. Baseball turret seems unwieldy.

Also, you want to set up traps, fine. Do you expect it to be as easy as seeing a spot where you could put one and then pushing a button? Because the non-explosive traps don't do that much damage. Why would you bother spending time on that?

I would like to see.

1. The M2 Machine Gun, Browning .50 Caliber Machine Gun it's from the 1920's
2.The M60 from 1957
3. Bren Gun 1930
those are just some real world weapons that were in tactics but not in other fallouts why? I can see them being very rare and only found in museums. All those weapons were used right up till modern day. The M2 Browning is still being used and there is no sign of it being phased out of service anytime soon.

also more future weapons like The MEC Gauss Minigun that was in tactics.

Alot of people say tactics went down the wrong road with having real world weapons but I liked that they had them as well as future weapons keeping with Fallout Lore.

That big solar-powered laser? I want a handheld panic weapon that can do that damage but requires recharging.

well the bear trap holds enemies in place for a while, perfect if you know some crazy raider with a chainsaw is around the corner.

I'd rather kill him than make him angry.

who said anything about keeping him alive? Just saying trap laying is one way to promote using your brains instead of solving every problem by just getting bigger guns.

something about grenades..

they should be usable as boobytraps like the grenade bouquets. And trip wires are just put down,=, like someone said, by just add the fishing line and/or kite rope item for scrounging -or skykappas fishing pole

replace the shotgun trap with a claymore mine.

If you're going to kill him why not do it the simplest way possible and use mines?

well it?s a bit boring just using mines as the only trap, and last time I checked this is a game, something you do for fun....not a post apocalypse survival simulator.

The only way you can lay down complicated traps is to have detailed foreknowledge of interior spaces and enemy patrol routes. That's why tripwires and the like generally only work agains the player. NPCs are designed to avoid triggering them.
