Alrighty now...

First off, I agree with a lot of people here on the topic of NPC's in that there weren't enough NPC's of the female gender. Straight out, I'd like to see more; some tough, others would be what one might consider weak. The weak ones you could easily push around to do whatever you want (such as pimping) while the tougher ones would beat your ass and force you to be the whore if you even tried to push them into it (or just kill you...whatever).

Evil and good NPC's are another thing. Some people would like to see some evil NPC's. I'm one of those people. Just adds more variety.

And while on the topic of NPC's, I'd also like to see more interaction between them when they join your party. Not just have them talk AT each other, but rather talk WITH each other. Also, I think it'd be cool if while in combat, you could control your main characters taunts. It's a feature that's becoming more and more common in games today--a definate must in my opinion.

Another topic is NPC's using items in their inventories aside from drugs and weapons. I'd like to see a character like Vic use the Snap-Off tool box (or pliers and/or wrench)he has in his inventory. Not just give him a bonus to his roll (if it does do that), but actually see him pull it out of a backpack or something.

Finally, I'd like to see the appearance of those NPC's that join your group change depending on the armor they wear, although I'm sure this will be included in Fallout 3 since it will be in 3D.

Appearances are something I'd like to see more variety of as well. Painting tribal symbols and such on ones power armor or buying a leather jacket and cutting one or both sleeves off (or sew back on). In addition, it'd be cool to change the appearance of your character/NPC's by having them take off their helmets at times when not in combat.

Also, I'd like to see some different types of clothing one can wear that might change the response you might get from different people. Think about the difference if Mrs. Bishop had a tribal carrying a spear walk in her room or if a well dressed, civilized, handsome young man walked in instead.

Moving on, I'd like to bring up unscripted events. I'd like to see maybe a bar fight break out every once in a while--not like that argument in the Malmatoon Saloon (I'm sure that's spelled incorrectly) that only happens if you accept a job from the local sheriff. Or another possibility would be a conversation among some extra NPC's. For instance, a pimp talking to one of his whores (either yelling at her for screwing something up or trying to sweet talk some new chick into becoming one of his girls). Or maybe just a pair of drunks swapping stories in a local tavern or some old guys spinning yarns in front of a general store.

Hmm, what else...Ah, the ability to use one item in your inventory with another. For instance, let's say you've got a Broc Flower and some Xander Root along with a high First Aid skill (or Doctor/Science/Outdoorsman). Why must you have an NPC make a stim or healing powder for you and why not make it yourself? Same goes for other drugs--Super Stims, Antidotes and so on. Along with this, I'd like to see more uses for items such as using a rad scorpion tail to either make some poison or an antidote--whichever is needed most at the moment. You can also use poison on weapons such as blades, arrows, spiked knuckles and such.

That's all I got right now. I'll make another post if I come up with anything else. Until then, I'm gone.
 
I agree on that you should see what your NPC's use and the barfights but if you want NPC's of diferent alignment go play Baldur's Gate another great Black Isle/Interplay game.
 
I will like to some interactions with backgrounds such as chairs, beds, tables, food items(Booze,cheesy poofs,Nuke Cola,and all sorts of realistic things). In the game, when you go to Cats Paw, you just go into the room and come right back out. Why not they just lie down on the bed? Also, I want to be able to see my character being able to sit on a chair and drink booze.

I am so addicted to fallout that once I played for a 12 hours nonstop not even to the bathroom! I crave for a realistic game like fallout because in the game you could do what ever you want. If somebody in the game pisses you off you could just pull out oyur pancor jackhammer and blast him/her into pieces. Now days,games can't let you
do that.I wish fall out three would creat a fully 3D interactive world that enables you to do what ever you wish.

I would also want to see different types of shops like a cloths shop, pet shop, restruants, and other real life shops.

What happen to eating? Yes there were places like Mom's or Modoc's Bed and Breakfast. But we don't see the animation of it nor the effect.

There is a new game called THE SIMS by Maxis it featured realistic daily lifestyles. If fallout 3 could include THE SIMS characteristics it would mean a breakthrough in RPG realism.

Maybe you didn't think of this, but if you want to use the SIMS characteristics, you would have to convince Maxim to allow BiS use something from their game, and the programming would be a bitch, so that isn't very realistic. The rest of what you say would be cool, though.
 
NPC
a/ independent= used torment npc, that every npc has their own motive. For example Sulik can naver be in the same place with Vic, their should be more conflict betwean them, maybe one of them can leave you...
b/ you can take anybody to join you, like in MM VI or VII. Everyone is npc, but not everyone is usefull and off course not everywant want to join you easily. You should convice them to join you...
c/ interact with stuff, like shinoki said, is a good idea...
d/ more special ability like myron (he can create stimpack) for each "special" NPC (if everybody can join you). Maybe special skill like "bullet maker" or "modified any big weapon" is good...
e/ more kind= female-male/human-ghoul-mutant-deathclaw/ scavanger, hunter, raider, ex-BOS, ranger, slave...
 
about the interactivity... i would like 2 b able 2 get into a bar fight and start smashing heads with chairs, or b able 2 throw people on 2 tables and them break!
thing is 2 get a decent atmosphere while doing things like that it would really need 2 b realtime, that would spoil it
