A question to the devs about alts

You can think what you want but its a direct result of the game design. As someone who has alts for every possible combat char/prof I can tell you its not because I want to, its because I need to. For instance my 1 cha chars need to do quests so I need mentats, I can either hope to find some (almost never) or buy from a player and get overcharged plus hope someone is online selling them. More often than not no one is selling and I'd be forced to wait. A huge pain in the ass vs the 3 hours it takes to make a char with doc lvl 3 that just lives in vc and makes me drugs whenever I need.

Yes, several depending on how many alts you create. It's not as if the minute you create another character you can make bazookas and combat armor to buff your combat/main character.
--- Quote ---When you have multi alts you play practicly the whole game only once having "personal slaves" to do everything for you playing for real only with one character ones with limitless resources.

I don't see it that way, it's essentially playing several different characters, exploring everything the game has to offer for only a *slight* advantage.
--- Quote ---Where you see here decent replayabilityy?

Depends on how many alts you have.
--- Quote ---Life in postapocaliptic wasteland is harsh, brutal, and very tough, only smart using of character resources and combining it with others should guarantiee better chance getting to 21 level

I agree, so why make arbitrary rules like no-alts? This game isn't for kids.
--- Quote ---This game isn't diablo or quake when character is an equivalent of an small army.

As have been mentioned earlier, even the random PA drops didn't do much to make characters unstoppable. I could have a 100 alt support team and would still die as often as joe-one21-blow.

Aw, come on. What you want is jack of all trades characters. This is the only reason why you whine and complain all the time. What could encourage players to not use any alts? It's obvious: Jack of all trades characters. Because then you can do everything you need by yourself and play the game in singleplayer. No need to switch between many characters.
But it could be so simple... Just search a team in which every player has it's own role. Then you don't need any alts, because the players fullfill each other. And yes, I have done this already with other players and it is possible.

It's YOUR problem when you make a character with 1 charisma. You don't have to make a character with 1 charisma to specialize on "Small Guns", "Repair" or "Doctor". You can create a powerbuild and live with the consequences (ever heard of "Choices and Consequences"?) or you can create an average character with a Small Gun", "Repair" or "xyz" specialisation.
