Train stations revealed on character creation

Bantz:
By this logic you should do a quest for a Fixboy to apear. This feature could be realy great but this way its a wasted potential.

I agree.
Since the wipe I see more people using trains than before, so people already know about it.
2 out of 4 train station locations can be acquired easily by level 1 characters by accepting a quest close to their starting location (Boneyard, VC).
Only NCR's rail line quest is too hard for low level alts unless they do it in groups.

There should be more places to buy cars.
SF, Boneyard and Junktown make sense.

Badger:
Trains are a good idea, but keeping stations hidden unless you talk to specific doctors is bafflingly arbitrary. How the hell could you miss a train station attached to a town? It's not a super high end gear manufacturing base you're keeping hidden from players, but basic world travel - and now world map speed is much slower.

I understand why they're not revealed - "players shouldn't get anything for free", but there's not a lot of logic behind the quest path. It's like having to find out about a medical facility from the Modoc tannery. Let players see the location and then be told they need to do the quest to obtain access.

Players should have to use their initiative, sure, but they shouldn't have to be psychic. Or playing with a wiki printout.

That would be nice.

As you can see on the worldmap, the circles are extra and not attached to a close town. Also if people would read the dialogues, they would know why a) there are just a few train stations, b) they aren't known a lot and c) not everyone is yelling about it.
