Remember, they don't call it a wasteland for nothing.
In terms of reality, I would like it to be pretty accurate. So unless your superman, you cannot carry two LMG's, three sub-machine guns, a bazooka, and just be on your merry way. No. Think about a human being's capabilities.
No super mutant submissions, restricted to humans and ghouls.
I won't apply a battle system, I trust you'll all write responsibly. This means not auto-hitting, no extreme feats to avoid gunfire (I.E. matrix stuff) or knowing the enemy's weakness right off the bat. If i see anything like this happening, and if i don't, I have mods that will, If either the mods or i see any 'shoot, duck, shoot, cover, shoot' for several pages, I'm going to step in, and side with the person who's writing more sensibly. So please, for the sake of the rp, don't be like that.
Wounds. There's a snowballs chance in hell your character is to go through this and come out unscathed. With hot pieces of led coming at you at hundreds of feet per second, you won't be able to just jump out of the way...there's a good chance you'll get hit.
So, if you do get wounded, and you will, it's going to be an inconvenience to your character. You can't get shot in the arm or leg and still be going in guns'a'blazin. It's going to take it's toll on you, whether it be you lose your grip on your weapon of fall to the ground. Imagine it, your not going to be the next track star with a 7.56mm round in your thigh.
The severity of the wound determines the treatment/ You get shot, your going to need to remove the bullet either by yourself or someone else, clean the wound, bandage it up, and seek medical aid. Because frankly, kisses won't help anymore. Of course, you won't JUST get shot. there of hundreds of other ways, burns, broken limbs, cuts, bruises, poisoning, sprains, hell, even fatigue. All need to be handled accordingly. Things like cuts and scrapes aren't anything more than annoying and wont slow you down. But if something happens like you break your leg, you wont be able to just shake it off...
You may have companions, but only one.
Naah, I think the title of the pm should be 'Sugar Bombs' so I know you've read everything.
Things like NCR veteran rangers will be carefully looked at. I want to see good bio's and evenly balanced weaponry etc, when submitting characters like these. Just because we don't need a dozen Veteran rangers running around.
Please, if there ANYTHING you would like to add to the plot or weapons, places, etc. I encourage you to talk about it in the OOC thread or PM me directly and we can talk about it.
You may include Fallout 3 weapons in your profile
