Proposal
Please add some life to this beautiful game! Here is my suggestion:Add Survivors that players can encounter in random locations or buildings, with their levels scaled to the player’s current level.
After a short interaction or dialogue, we would receive a mini-quest to escort them to the nearest trader, where they can find a new home. Each of these characters would then specialize in crafting specific items for the player for free (e.g., ammo, scavenging scrap, cooking, etc.).
Sometimes they could teach us a new special recipe, and other times they might reveal the location of a secret cache containing a unique treasure that can only be obtained through them.
I believe this would breathe a lot of life into the game and provide many new, engaging interactions.
If this has already been discussed, feel free to bin it.
