Guards in guarded Cities

Delivery/Assassination/Clearing out a 'Dungeon'/Persuading/Rescue/etc. The more quests you do, the higher your standing in your faction, the more dangerous and rewarding quests you can do.
Even if in the beginning all the NPC factions have the same quests - Assassinate this guy opposing NCR expansion, whack this guy he owes the Wrights money, Take down this guy he's squatting in a farm on the outskirts of Modoc - it would still be a fun addition to the game. Especially if they could be assigned to a group of players.

aah NPC faction quests would be awesome, it also adds a reason to join a faction ;) And I guess not to make them too exploitable, make enemies in the quest non-lootable, maybe add a desk or something that contains some caps, becouse it would be pretty easy to get lots of weapons and stuff for free if they are fully lootable (NCR railroadgang, well its not exploitable, but if it where to be repeatable it would be an exploit).
Graf:
I'm really LOLed by your crying, people ;D Go on, continue increasing number of guards and their HP in guarded towns, and making them un-radeable, instead of making the game more realistic. Yeah.
P.S. FischiPiSti, your idea looks pretty interesting, but need a lot of corrections. You could try to post it to suggestions forum.

Hell, let's go for realism. Nobody can take more than a few slugs to the chest before dying, no matter how many centaurs he's shot in the eyes. I submit that would make the game infinitely more manly.
Izual:
So realism is that the main city resisting against Raiders has to be pillaged by a few level 21 players ? Well...

Remember that the whole city is represented only by a few NPCs. Fallout canon might say that they have some nasty technology and such but ingame its reflected just by that they are having doctor in the city that can teach you some stuff and they are considered lawful town. And when few 21 lvl players raid such town then its like 2 or 3 guards for one raider. So if like 30 NPCs can represent whole town then 10 players can represent large raid attacking the city borders. But of course NPC does not equal to player and they are like sitting ducks when it comes to gang vs guards combat.
This could be solved either by that NPCs would use level scaling pretty much the same way as players do (at least humanoid NPCs and non-bosses etc.) so guards in cities would equal to 21 lvl player. And since NPCs are stupid as hell then they have to be boosted through stats to balance the difference between them and players.
Another solution would be to make towns reflect what they are supposed to be more closely ingame. So instead of barely 30 npcs in the town we would have 100+ and of course larger maps, city districts etc...
