As a bandit, I agree that the system should be restored. I shoot everyone on sight, I wore my bandit skin with pride. Killing survivors was akin to killing a sheep, sure you get some sorely needed food and supplies; but the kill isn't really challenging or enjoyable. Killing another bandit however was like taking down a man-eating mountain lion. Something that was hunting you at the same time you were hunting them. Knowing that you came out of that encounter between predator vs. predator on top gave you a remarkable sense of achievement that is now lost. I understand you want it to be realistic..but be careful about over doing it; it is a video game after all.
