Fallout New California (aka Project Brazil, I think) does have shields, and from what I remember of those sessions, the shields do work

I'll have to see if I can find any footage online of someone using a shield in that mod then. But if we can bring whatever they did to the base game then that would be incredible

Eh, no need for that. I did a small mod for FNC back in the days, and take some screenshots with my char carrying shield and pistols. Also, I remember shooting enemies with shields and THAT cover their head well I can not headshot.

My personal guess is that adding shields will provide much more defensive capacity to wearers, especially in the heat of battle.

If you want to headshot people  with Vats, in battle they would generally raise their shield arm high, thus hiding their head. Even if you use Vats for headshot, the shield would block fly path so no damage to head. Kinda like how missile launcher and SMMG protect users' head.

With FNV being easy as it is, adding shields to player would make it too easy, and adding shields to raiders (for example) would make them tougher than expected... which is bad for players who are familiar with FNV difficulty. The difficulty curve will change all over the place~ 

That is how I feel with Fallout New California. Raiders' battle would change its specific difficulty.

This weird experience is how the demand for shields are never high among modders, is how I think.

Ok I just found this old mod that adds police riot gear to two NPC's and once you kill the two NPC's you can pick up and use the shield. It provides added protection but you can't actually block with it but it still looks cool to have on a melee character. If someone could figure out how the mod creator made the shield then others like it could be made for melee enemies for the legion. Imagine legionaries with shields but instead of them being black and saying "POLICE" they have the bull of the Legion 

This is the mod with the police riot gear and the shield that you can add to your arm https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/49281

So it IS POSSIBLE to add shields into the game even if you can't actually block with them. As I said above we need a mod that ass shields to certain NPC's. Along with members of the legion cause the legion does have melee only classes but maybe even brotherhood of steel guards could have a melee weapon and a shield but no gun.
