I've been playing megamod lately. It's like fonline but with awesome. And bugs. Oh wait. Ok, jokes aside. The newest version (2.42 with the custom menu background) has some really awesome stuff inside: new animations eg for shooting with rifles, a lot of character models in all the armors possible - aka the team armor mod, Mr. Fixit which is basically your crafting. It looks worse but works better - it's easier to navigate and has multiple items craft option. There is this whole tribal theme with tribal item crafting, being a shaman and creating kickass chaman drugs, collecting them herbs and animal skins. There are so many ideas and ready things that may be used and make this game better and more expanded.
The question is why not combine your powers devs? Just contact those people, they would love to see their work used in such a big project and that would mean faster progress and fresh ideas.
Now think for a moment about this thing, I don't want to create a new thread for this. Characters Origin. That's a big project and needs a lot of work done to b honest. It's basically something like character classes. Some people are born in vaults, some in tribes, some in XXX, ghouls, mutants. They have the access to perks and origin bonuses others can't have or it's a problem for them to get those things.
Imagine skinning animals only accessible to trapers and tribals. They would have to trade with other people for stuff they can't get themsel.. oh wait alts. Ok, you guys just ruined it before it was even implemented. Great job. Tribal class would be freakin awesome. You know this to be true.
TL;DR - contact the modmakers and GET SOME NUTS! ARRRRRR.
