If any nickname colorising should be introduced again at all, then probably it should be linked to faction's terminal where you could set friend, enemy and others and give them appropriate "colour". Terminals are gonna to be reworked some day, or so they said, right? Still, this is closer to team deathmatch than any roleplay game (why would your character magically know who is red and who is green and who is blue?).

Terminals are good, but that still doesn't explain why people would still magically go red/green/blue.
I think the pipboy is lacking in functions, so why not give it a FOF function ? (who knows, maybe do a quest to get the FOF module ;)?)
I suggested this a while back and some people liked the idea but the thread eventually died..
Basically, 2 simple amendable lists of friend/enemy that can be saved to and loaded from "tapes".
This way, people need to actually get "tapes" from bases to load their friend/enemy list, not simply copy a file and magically know who is who.
Does this solve the "meta-gaming" problem ?

- you could as well resign from nicknames, nicknames don't count when all you need is a stupid colour above player's name so you can quickly choose whether to shoot him or not (it's probably that "feature" which Cryofluid was talking about),

You miss the point because you have only a PVP vision of the game.
I love 50% pvp and 50% discussing of bullshit in game and when I speak of bullshit I love to say "hey look, bloody bastards gang coming in town"
Of course if you are negative and pvp only oriented, you see NC as Quake or UT team deathmatch.
As for me, I see name colorizing as this:
Question of point of view I guess
Edit: and don't tell me you can replace it by putting a gang name in your character name for 2 reasons:
1- already enough letters over heads thank you
2- what if my character wants to change gang? I have to rebuild a new one each time I change?

Current system of taging is inconvenient. Tag is work only for one character, other characters just need to make tag again.
There is little problem about showing green/red buttons in menu,sometimes 3x in row.
Old colorizing was PERFECT tool for everyone when you wanted to recognize someone by faction or by anything else.

Another fact - you cannot tag running guy!
I'm all for NC back!

Yes, you can ;)

Can't you just play with the same name? You all have your own nicks here at forums, that's how we recognize who's who. With all the differend characters and names they have, the whole problem of not knowing who's who is caused by players themselves.
A character is player's reflection in the game world so it's up to him to build his own reputation.
