Train stations revealed on character creation
Badger:
MAKES MORE SENSE THAN TALKING TO A DOCTOR TO DISCOVER A TRAIN STATION, BUCKO.

This is so true, its not like its a secret raider base or hiden toxic cave. Plus, characters with 1 charisma should be able to find train station by themselves too. The train is a great implementation, should be usable by all.
Cultist:
It's just strange that the location that should be the easiest to find is the one that is hidden, especially since its supposedly high traffic and next to major cities. What's even stranger is that I agree completely with Izual in this matter.

Well, as I said:
--- Quote ---I like hidden locations, like Sierra or Toxic Caves. I think more should be, like Mariposa or Vault 13 for example. But it's not the point of this suggestion; hiding train stations serves no purpose. Especially if the only way to see them is to talk to a doctor or something like that.

Also, if you want the train to be more popular, its stations should be revealed. It's one of the very few places where you are forced to be with other players (waiting for the train and then on the worldmap). It is also one of the major things to do if you want less people to come in NCR.

* 1 "There's no reasons players should get everything from the very beginning without doing anything for it." (Lexx)
* 2 "It's still easy to discover most of the stations" (HertogJan)
* 3 It's not unrealistic that they are hidden, and players can use cars/radios to travel already. (Lexx)
* 4 "Don't like 2238, don't play 2238." (Lexx)

1. Locations could be unveiled but the possibility to travel could be unlocked through a quest (a local one in each of train station - simplier or just locally located). I mean, really, if a newbie saw "NCR train station", he would get the idea there are trains without anyone telling him.
2. Yes its easy, for you, but it isnt a suggestion for players that find it so easy to buy a car first, its for people that come to this game, play solo or just a bit venture at first and what do they see "NCR mine" "NCR military base" oh noes, no "NCR train station", as they travel throughout wasteland they meet other people that tell them to do Train quest: go to VC then all other cities, yeah so "simple" - tell it to a newb
3. As above, really? Wasteland wouldnt be harsh if no one was a newb or loner. New/loner would rather spend his first money on train because its cheaper and he has no money to buy a car and fuel to maintain it. Again, if somebody bought a car, he probably doesnt need a train after all. But of course we want everything shrouded in mystery rather than giving some clues
4. Yeah, the best argument of all. This should be inscribed below "Fonline 2238" and "Wasteland is harsh"
