Main point of this idea is to give other players more informations about your action. Right now everything that is about manipulaiting in inventory (like drinking nuca-cola, using jet, eating fruit or arming bomb) is presented as ONE animation. This can be solved in three ways:

1.  You get floating text about your head that exists for adjustable ammount of time (just like with damage indicator) with possibility to turn it on/off.


(of course color could be diffrent, this example was done in-game by using .E)


2. You got message in console what someone is doing with possibility to turn it on/off.


(Thanks for screenshot - Wire)


3.. Mix previous points. (1. and 2.) with possibility to turn on/off each one of them.

Note: in orginal Fallout there was console information about what each of NPC is doing (if he is using psycho or jet or whatever else) also in New Reno you could see message above prostitute head "using jet".

All of those options should be available to be turned on or off.

This way you no longer will have to find out if someone is arming bomb or just changing something in his inventory. It's wrong if you have no idea what other player is doing and it's quite big issue with this game. Entire system could be based on perception (the higher PE from higher distance you know what other player is doing) but it would be great also if it wouldn't be. Decision is up to devs.

Please. Make sure you voted in a poll above. Also if you don't like this idea, please, write why.

As I said in the (very) old topic of this suggestion, this would be great (I voted for way 1) ; however maybe that with 3D era we'll have different animations ?

[Surf]

I totally support it and voted for option 3.

I don't know if the engine supports it, though.
But it would be really a great enhancment.

[Wire]

Version 3, because theres more options to choose.

[vedaras]

as i remember we had messages like these in f2 and i also want them in here :>

A small little thingy that can make world a bit better Very much for it

1 and 3, a little more for 1

[Quentin Lang]

Voted for 1 but 3, of course, is also fine. Its just that the textbox usually gets spammed more than enough and more text down there aint that required.

[Sius]

This could lead to creation of new "class". Something like a spy or such. With high sneak skill he could mask his actions as something else like "setting up a trap" into "drinking nuca cola"... definitely +1.

Definitely agree with Quentin. On peak hours in NCR you wouldnt see it anyway xD

[Sius]

Well textbox need some serious boost anyway. Keeping everything in one small window can't make it into the final game version. Some tags for combat messages, chat filters etc are more than needed here.

[Arry]

+1 It's a very good idea

[Wire]

. Some tags for combat messages, chat filters etc are more than needed here.

theres already filter for chat and combat messages.


1st makes chat window bigger
2nd turns off combat messages
3rd turns off all caht messages (/w /o /e etc)

[Rejfyl]

As i said in previous topic, i like this idea
+1

[Gatling]

Definitely like, though how it's done might be left ultimately to the engine and what it'll agree too.  Let's hope the 3D era opens new doors.

[DrapiChrust]

Only the 'abovehead' message should be in the different colour than the standard '.e' text, so that one couldn't mislead people by arming a bomb and saying '.e uses stimpack'
