A little backstory Without mods fallout is entirely a single player game, focusing around the player and their endeavours in post apocalyptic earth, your actions affect the world and you are the most important character the "hero" (or villian based on your play style) what could be different from ESO to solve mp issues in ESO you are told you are the "chosen one" but as soon as you step out of the tutorial you find "chosen ones" everywhere, which kind of kills any feeling of being special. So, what if fallout 4 had its main single player story, allowing you to play through the massive open world you know and love, but then there was an independent multiplayer mode where you have a character seperate to your single player one (with an option to import appearance) but NPC's would be completely removed from the multiplayer mode, players would fill the roles of bandits, quest givers (imagine giving a quest to a new player to bring you the claws, of 5 deathclaws, lol.) merchants and even faction leaders or grunts. The world would be shaped by these players So wait, how would these jobs work? As a quest giver you would be able to set up a quest using an interface and a set of options (YE GODS, LOOK AT ALL THOSE OPTIONS!) like set a location, items to obtain and a reward as an example: go to the Boston ruins and collect experiment notes from a lab and you are rewarded with 100 caps (payed for from the givers inventory) in return the quest giver would receive the items they wanted or, even revenge on someone who attacked them (yes, Create bounties on other players in the server) As a merchant a similar interface could be used to sell items to players at prices you choose, simple these items could be purchased simply by another player walking up and interacting with you. And as a leader you could create groups (bandit groups, military factions, etc) and recruit players to said group, similar to a clan and issue armour and weapons to different members What about chatting? A system could be implemented that you could only talk with people who are within a certain distance of you, any farther and a radio is required And if I die? Then you will respawn at a "home base" built using scrap collected in the wasteland, you would respawn indoors, collect what you want with you and continue on your way, now you need to ration what you bring instead of being a regular player (3 different sets of armour 20 weapons and thousands of bullets all fit in my pocket and on death i lose none) How would I build a base? By collecting scrap, doors (we all know very well you would be capable of carrying 3 of them at once...) metal, traps, whatever you need, then use it to modify existing buildings in the world (old houses, offices, etc) to prevent clutter, if someone else was using that building for their base your base would be generated in the nearest available building with the closest layout Pvp? Pvp is enabled, if a player is interacting with another (like shopping) pvp would be disabled for the, temporarily incase there is an "arguement" over a price, but out in the wasteland its survival of the fittest The world The world is entirely pre generated, building, land formations, everything the only variation is played modification to buildings. And as I said, there would be a completely seperate single player (with up to 4 player co-op, maybe?) but in this multiplayer mode you would just be a regular wastelander trying to survive. Would you like to see something like this? Discuss Edit: sorry forgot to mention, the only NPC's would be things like feral ghouls, cazadores (hate those things...), rad scorpions, and other creatures of the wasteland that can't be communicated with Edit 2: I applaud you if you read all of that
