Fallout: Definitive Edition
What do you want to see in the inevitable Fallout remaster (or "remaster")?
I'll start with the obvious:
>Fallout 2's brute-forced tutorial zone gets multiple play options, letting you test your build of choice.
So if you start with a weapon skill, you get an early weapon using said weapon skill. Even for Energy Guns, some sort of weak starting gun, like a Stun Gun or something. And more alternative ways around the guy at the end, i.e. Lockpicking your way around him, blowing up a wall to get past him, so on and so forth. Basically, the tutorial zone should be possible to complete with any three tagged skills, so at most you can have two skills which aren't usable in the tutorial zone.
>Merge skills, inspired by Fallout New Vegas.
Split Big Guns into Guns (miniguns), Energy Weapons (Gatling Laser, flamethrowers), and Explosives (rocket launcher), Explosives now replaces handling of explosives from Traps and also includes skill with throwing grenades. Disabling mechanical traps goes under Repair. Non-grenade thrown weapons now use Melee Weapons. So Big Guns, Throwing, Traps, all removed.
First Aid and Doctor is merged under Medicine, Sneak and Steal under Stealth, but the actions are still separate in the menu, so you have separate uses per day for First Aid and Doctor and obviously you sitll need separate buttons for Steal and Sneak.
>Luxury wishlist:
Add ammo crafting with Science and possibly Repair. Add repairing weapons.
Rebalance useless perks, give something special for the boring "+skill" perks.
Let Outdoorsman scale past 100%.
Add low tech "guns" like crossbows for early game, and low-tech Energy Weapons (maybe a progression like stun-guns/tasers -> flamers -> high tech laser / plasma / pulse weapons).
+
Most important of all:
Combine Fallout and Fallout 2 in one, if you load your Fallout save there are some choices and consequences in Fallout 2 (i.e. Tandi is #NotMyPresident). Maybe hire MCA for some extra writing
