Wasteland is NOT harsh.
Surf:
Exactly. The best times in RPGs for me are always the very first playthroughs, where you don't know what's the "best" character for certain situations etc. You take the stats and skills from a stomach feeling and not because you know stat xy grants you sucess on situation xy, which I find very boring.
Being "competive" in a singleplayer game is very objective and trivial anyway. If a game only allows ways for perfectly tailored "classes" to solve situation xy it's bad design anyway. Not everyone likes to sit infront of a calculator for days and minmaxes everything.
Keldorn:
Ok, I get ya surf, atleast when playing handi-capped characters. Yet having a character who can fight as well as explore all of the games quests was fun too. The STR bonus from PA allowed me to put more points into CH and INT. By all means I was not overpowered (well mebbebut not the SPECIAL but more armor stats). But it was sure fun to do different combat builds and still enjoy all of the rp aspects of the game too.
I think we may have different definitions of "min-maxing". Your talking more god mode while I am speaking about a properly built character. As a mage for example, one normally focuses on things like wisdom and intelligence over qualities such as strength or perception or dexterity. There really is no way to get perfect stats and so because of that, one places their points into things crucial to their specialization.
Its competitive when folks are doing things like speed runs and as you folks said, scores.

Explain how 6 hour alting restriction will stop the proxy abusers?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Balanced/non min-maxed characters need content to interact with to have "gears to push against".
(No offense to those who donate free time in labor of love.)
Otherwise players must either make up an RP rationale (jack of all trades survivalist/etc.) that probably won't last long, or work with what there is- crafting and PvP.
I'll find a way to enjoy the Wipe, I'm sure, as I'm not into collecting things I won't use, don't like standing around in NCR, and can't exactly PvP with only 1-3 people. (Especially vs a proxy horde).
I hope there will be some kind of Scavenger/Tracker profession, or things for thieves to do.
Demo skill for mining?

I don't think so. In fact, I see no problem if a player wants to play the game in this way. Always running around, killing everyone in every town? Becoming the master slayer of doom? Sure, do whatever brings you fun, especially if the possibilities are given. And as it is a singleplayer game, it doesn't influence me anyway... so go for it.

I don't have time for explaining you this, because it's a technical problem. The idea is good.
