I like your idea best even better then my own. activate could come with cap cost to. what do you think?

Hard work, my currently-suit and tie wearing butt. All you had to do was do a few quests, pay the money, and wait for them to build it.

Fallout new vegas needs to have camps set up by raiders or something and when you kill them you can use it

or there can be empty random camp sites from the past you find and you can use

it was hard i had to get to a high rank do u nowe how hard it is to get to that rank in rederon spent 3 days looking for a cave that they gave me bad direcsens to the cave it was the hardest part of the game

Making your own town would be cool. Migrating people and traders to your town and even choosing your own sheriff to monitor the citizens. But yeah definetly some kind of camp, base or town.

and u should be able to crown u self the king of new Vegas

If it's any consolation, I heard a rumor that you'll be able to make your own camp/campfire out in the wastes.

I like this idea, the time I spent doing up Big Town; arming the residents, putting in food/medical supplies/weapons. :blush2: Would love to have my own base, with my own guards. ^_^

Now that would be cool.

But what if you cud build your own house.

NOW THAT WOULD BE COOL!!!!!!
:intergalactic:

Hell I would just be happy to have the ability to set traps like those found in FO3. I can make my own camps after that. I am in the process of rearming mine field with all 400 land mines I currently have and make that my home away from home.

One thing your "camp" should have is the ability to build as well as a fast travel marker or at the very least its own marker. I know the pip has a marker you can set but you can only set one at a time. Sure would svck to setup camp and move the marker and forget that it was marking your camp and you cant find your camp again.

What about if you incorporated a lot of skills into building the camp?

For example,:
If you wanted to get a load of people to help your camp, you'd need high speech. (and skills for each merchant, i.e. energy, repair (for general stuff for repairing), melee, small guns, big guns)
If you wanted various different merchants at your camp, you'd need a high barter.
If you wanted to train people at your camp to protect it, you'd need to train them in various skills, and give suitable equipment.
If you wanted traps to respawn (i.e. your people relaying traps) you'd need to train people in explosives, and they'd relay traps quicker the higher your explosives.
If you wanted people to repair your turrets and buildings, you'd need to train them in repair.
If you wanted a doctor (to bring those that had fallen protecting your settlement, back and able to protect you again, or to just heal your people) you'd need medicine, higher medicine would mean a better doctor.
If you wanted better buildings you'd need higher repair and have to retrieve building supplies, the more needed the lower your repair.
If you wanted turrets, you'd need repair, and either small guns, big guns, or energy, depending on type of turret.
If you wanted safes to protect group equipment/money during raids, you'd need higher lockpicking for safe levels.
If you wanted electronic gates, and pre-emptive alarms, you'd need higher science and build equipment with repair, gates would slow down raids, allowing turrets to pick of enemies, while pre-emptive alarms would give you advance warning depending on your science level.

Few different ideas there.

Online resources are a wonderful thing, and dang near necessary to find some places in that game. The cave of Milk comes to mind.

You know that german actually did this in WW 2? Maybe this would be fun for an evil character but I wouldn't blow up my puppeh

I'd love camps.. my character prefers to live outside the cities.
Wouldn't mind just having sleeping bags either.

There is a topic about a new confirmed skill here. They talk about being able to cook at the campfire. http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1093656-new-skill-comfired/

I agree.

But I'd still like to see a small apartment in a town, or better yet a Base of Operations.

Ya i was a little kid i doubt that i even knew that there was a thing called the internet so no matter what you say i know that it was very hard

It would be great if you could place a bedroll and a tent over it. It would be 20+WG. You could only have 1 at a time. Also you would have to set up a fire and go out to kill any nearby enemies before you sleep.

It doesn't really bother me, because as others said, you can do that in the game anyway.

Its a great idea

maybe have one camp expand into a base

NPC's will show up after awhile

make a base

Good Rep- Refugee camp or something

Bad Rep- Drugs, Slaves etc.

I like this, there have been many places in Fallout 3 where I wished I could do this.

But then you eliminate a useful outpost, also people may respawn, and traps may dissappear.

I like the idea of a node capsite.

You could have one regular house in a settlement at one time(if given a choice)

and only one camp setup out in the wasteland. basically a home away from home. You would(as mentioned earlier) find the node to activate as your campsite(burned out campfire, fire barrel, computer, safe, etc, something key to the area or stands out) gives you an option to setup camp, and all marked containers(would say your container or camp container) would be safe for storage. You also would have to use lockpick/science to lock the container to keep your valuables from getting stolen from raiders or wastelanders. This would definatly give science/lockpick more value in skills and at a 100 no one could try to steal anything.

And yes bedrolls would be awesome, and more traps to set up like the bouquets, bear traps, and electrocuting sinks that have energy cells in them( I want NPCs to drink and eat to)

I think it should only be allowed when you have a partner so you can have somebody to defend it while you sleep.

Someone's played RDR.
