Adjusting NPC ethnicity by gender or location? And gender by role/location for added realism?

Just as the title says.

 

a)

The game has a one location so far of this already noticed ( a small settlement where all setters were male and african american, which was cool, but  no females of any race which was odd and the settler men were all dressed not like farmers but like well equipped like soldiers)

But it would be nice to adjust adjust these parameters by location, group or group at location, or sex at location etc/

it would be nice to so create a different cultural flair for different locations where you had one where for example one location would be predominantly one ethnicity vs another.

The ethnicities between females dont even have to match..(could  adjusted by sliders during game creation perhaps) . with the example of raiders a tribe or group could be evolved from one historical section of a big  local section of a city (white, black hispanic) but the females in their camps would likely come from the area they were raiding and so would often be different.

This is consistent with human history

I would like to be able to have a utility where I can slide adjust the balance in the NPC community by gender and ethnicity in %ages.

Like the function "chance camp captives are male" which I adjusted to zero for the game.

 

b)

Also: One of the first things I would do is no more female raiders (other than captives).

Never in world history have  groups whose description would match the games raiders been anything other than 100% men.

The only female presence would have been captives in camps and/or camp followers.

 

I am just so tired of female raiders (or gunners) it is so jarringly unrealistically it breaks my immersion every time I see it.

 

Depending how successful they were it could be a high percentage of females in camp, (camp captives/followers) but even so, the actual raiders were always men and nothing else.

- The Golden Horde: Not a single female unless as Camp captives.

- tartar raiders: No women except as captives

- Ottoman raiders,: etc 

- Zulu raiders

- etc, etc etc etc etc

 

c) The level of aggression against my female character form raiders.?

 

I would like a slider o turn that down a couple notches.

I am not talking about sexual aggression that is completely expected with a single femle unescorted traveler who is young and attractive.

I am talking about shooting her.

This is not realistic or in accordance with human nature.

Even if she has a weapon equipped and pointing at them, they would demand she put down the guns and become a captive or such.

 

Even gunners.. if you make one mistake and form fists inside their camp they all start shooting at you!!!

 

Do you really think a military unit or  a gang of raiders would feel threatened if a singe female suddenly started making a fist?

They would completely laugh it off!

 

But one false move with my interface (which I make many)  stars combat with raiders or gunners the character had been doing business with, even if I dont equip a weapon.

A toggle to turn that off would be realistic.

Even in the mod where raiders can menace me 80% of the time they still just shoot only in Boston have I been able to talk to them at all ( I wander all over the place instead of the quests . Probably what I would do in such a  situation real world, but I usually hide as much as I can in the bushes to not be detected until I know who is there. 

(Why would the minuteman even try to hire me as a hero? My strength is 2 and 3  is my intelligence. My agility is high ( to run away) and my charisma is good ( to charm people) and my looks are set to "Pretty" via one of the sex mods.)

Back on topic:

I tried approaching the raiders unarmed

I tried approaching them unarmed and in a nice dress instead of armor  (so I can be identified as female even from a distance) and was still shot.

I even tried approaching them naked to show w/o a doubt a helpless female is approaching who is no threat maybe looking for food+ water and not in need of killing but very helpless yet valuable.. Even then ,they would usually just shoot at me as soon as they saw me!!!

Thats crazy!!

 

Anyway just my ideas.

 

Thank you for reading ?
