Got the idea from this:

--- Quote from: Giftless on February 24, 2013, 08:52:51 am --- it wouldn't hurt to have a mini-barter window to customize your starting equipment right out the front gate (Example: A hunting rifle, some .22, and stimpak)

Basically when you create a character a trader will approach you and a barter window will open,in there there would be some random starter gear that the player can choose from:
1.10mm SMG
2.Hunting Rifle
3.Laser Pistol
4.Flamer
5.ammo for above
6.Low tier drugs (cigs,nuka cola,jet,alcoholic beverages,stimpak)
7.Armors (robe,leather armor,leather jacket)
8.Grenades

The player would be given 1000 starter caps,which he can spend on these items (note they will all have different values compared to other merchants for example:10mm pistol +40 ammo     300 caps,lather jacket:500 caps,nade:100 caps)

But for this to work there needs to be a new cap item that only this one trader in the starting area will take,so after this the caps will be worthless (this is just to avoid exploiting).

Anyway I thought that this would stop some newbies from rage quiting early game.

Post your ideas and opinions.

Alvarez:
A darn good idea, Mike.

I would though suggest that this special trader favours collectible items like cheesy poofs/cheap romantic literature/further junk items and is willing to "equip" you with some fixed set of equipment in exchange for this "rare and precious" items, basically like distributors in events.

or just have a one use key, three doors.  Each door to its corrosponding equipment package, i.e. sg, ew, bg.  newb player takes key opens door, key snaps.  player then can take the apropriate gear of one of the three rooms he has unlocked.  on his way out, a shelf has a couple caps, a few junks (enough to make brass knukles, oh dear what a coincidence) a pack of cigs, a beer and a knife.  Welcome to the wasteland.

Anthor plausable situation (these can be all incorporated if you like for variety)
three old hereos, buried on the top of "boot hill",  you with a rickity shovel (again onc use item).  Dig up the "hero" you like and get the corresponding gear that accompanied him to the grave.  in a crate by the fire, a few unsundry items to fiish off your newly acquisitions.  Have a nice life.

Just like Arcanum, is it not? ;D
