Shields

I've been thinking: we should be able to carry shields in combination with 1-handed weapons. (It's also a tad odd that Caesar's Legion is perfectly willing to rush you with machetes when they effectively have nothing to stop your bullets). They'd either absorb some damage themselves or just cover your torso and make you harder to hit. Maybe they'd also be useless against armor piercing ammunition?

 

Some possible shields:

-> Garbage can lid

-> Replica Roman soldier/Praetorian shield

-> Riot shield

-> Medieval shield

 

Anyone interested in / capable of making this?

 

EDIT: Also, it should probably affect accuracy when looking down the sights and when using VATS.

I would definitely vote for a riot shield and ballistic shield. Riot shields provide protection from both melee damage and low level guns (eg. 9mm pistol, .357 revolver, Varmint Rifle...) while the Ballistic Shield provides protection from most guns (as well as melee weapons). I think shields should have a coding that allows you to use them with one handed weapons but you can't aim down the sights with the guns.

Scavenged shields can be found in this fallout 3 mod which I'm sure someone ported to NV but I can't find it anywhere: http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/7918
