Isnt easy. And i'm not sure i've understood. Could you explain better?
Amrok:
Not easy, I agree.
A full explanation would be off-topic and I am not sure my english will follow ^^
Basicaly, you setup the game with mechanics that force or invite players in some way.
Some of them are "world-rules", so they force/delimit players action. Some other just impulse elements that will fit as RP support for players who want to do so.
Lets take an example that's brutal enough to show the line while staying at "surface mechanics":
- Add perma death on the 2238, and players will change their behavior.
- Remove magic case, players will change their behavior.
- Disable ammo crafting, players will change their behavior.
- etc...

id totally ban alts and do perma death, or at least make a really severe penalty for dying.
If you die, there is a chance that you would be respawned(for example based on your reputation, and where you died)
also, if you are high level, and well equipped you could opt to pay(a hefty price) to get respawned, at BOS or enclave or somesuch(you had a power armour that sent a distress signal when you died, they send a squad to pick you up and revive you but that costs money, son)
Or not pay, and hope that the standard chance is good enough for you :P
Also you could make a will, so if you die your stuff goes to your new char(or whomever you put as a successor), so it would also make death slightly lesser problem. you would loose all exp though...
But thats just me, i like roleplay and immersing in game, and this is the only mmo that i played that had at least semblance of it...
At least it would be awesome if it would be possible to make a dedicated server for role play oriented people. No alts, perma death, harder resource farming, no high tech weapons/armors easily available etc etc. Problem solved. :P

The Life After server has a pretty good replication system (you have to pre-pay for it or get replicated in the whops) but perma death is too much, griefers would only dish out more grief than they already do. I eventually kill all my characters though, in a blaze of glory that they never come back from, but that's my choice, at least until the wipe takes them it is.
There is also a dedicated RP server in the works; Wasteland 2155, by Witchura and his crew (sorry, i forget who else is working on it, but thanks guys!)
Everyone will be limited to 1 character there. I'm not sure how they will enforce it, but that is the main thing that would really promote the beginnings of an RP server. Also I believe that you need to put your characters history in writing and submit it to the GM's before the character will be registered, so the RP will be protected and enforced.

It's not "my" crew, I'm just humble mapper there.
