this a fault of the general writing of fallout, but it seems like radiation in their universe doesn’t work like ours. there is medicine you can take to reduce radiation level or become resistant to it, so the idea that a bunch of guys can come up with medicines that can make them immune or grow a tolerance to it doesn’t sound too far fetched.

Everyone outside the Vault and their offspring and their DNA has been inoculated by the FEV and radiation poisoning is merely a daily condition / occurence for everyone in the wasteland, you simply take Radaway once in a while. And that's just a puddle of water you retard. They literally have a water plant with a water purifier at top. You get a quest here, swapping junk metals for cash and there's like a hiding thief/junkie inside.

The GECK is more like a star trek replicator, not a world-devouring terraforming machine.

Nuclear weapons are mostly missiles not fatman styled nukes lmao.

I gotta be honest, I like the Bethesda version better. I expect something referencing God’s incomprehensible power which was used to create the first life and later man to be an utterly horrifying piece of technology that has the potential to wipe out and rebirth entire species.

That's great, the Vault handbook was still made first so you're shit out of luck.

>>729196976
How the GECK functions in every game is ambiguous as hell.
Especially 3 where it was nothing short of magic.
>>
>>729199025
It's not ambiguous at all, it's a star trek replicator that can turn dirt and trash into resources before it runs out of power.
>>
>>729198345
It's gay. 2 has it be filled with a bunch of shit to restart the soil and build prefab homes using the vault's systems, 3s is just magic because Todd is a retardd.
>>
>>729196976
>The GECK is more like a star trek replicator
Maybe. It was described to have "seeds" in it along with other stuff to help bootstrap society, like a fusion generator. The idea was that the GECK would gradually be disassembled for its various parts, and that would be the main value it provided. In that sense, it actually would be reasonable to use something in it for the water purifier in the DC region. But it seems to have some kind of crazy energy field when you turn it on so who the fuck knows. Bethesda just wanted a MacGuffin.

it isn't one dimensional, you have an autistic standard. the worldbuilding is totally sufficient. there is food in vendors inventories; traders, scavengers, and hunters in the wasteland, and the npcs are not starving to death. you are meant to interpret the rest yourself because video games can only give you so much given the limitations. the fallout bible is full of these autistic worldbuilding questions, and MCA tells people it's "video game logic" that the world is not 1:1 with reality

You're being retarded, if Fallout 3 just outright didn't say anything about food/water production nobody would be asking too many questions.
The issue is that Fallout 3 goes out of it's way to make a plot about droughts.
Guess what droughts lead to?
FAMINE.
But it's a game with droughts and famines despite nobody actually being ill from dehydration or starvation.
Worse.
It's a game where it's explicitly stated there is no plant-life in the whole area. Like as if Todd Howard has no idea what that means for the biosphere.
WORSE YET.
It's a game where it's explicitly stated there is no rainfall for 200 years.Not only geographically impossible for the DC area, but also yet worse implications for the environment.
The game goes OUT OF IT'S WAY to make the worldbuilding retarded and impossible. But does not explain how this works.

Fallout 3 also retcons water into being capable of being irradiated. That's not actually how water works, water doesn't get 'irradiated' because firstly it's hard to make radioactive isotopes of water, and they break down really fucking quickly.
So the whole premise the game is founded on, is not actually canonical to the series at all.

Then you miss the whole point of an immersion. Sure, Fallout 3 does give a great post apocalypse aesthetic, but with the blend RPG mechanic, writing and the awful story quest design are gonna bite you in the ass at the end.

>>729202615
It's a dumbass retcon because they made ghouls into regular people with missing noses.

Now Ghouls are 'just like us!' for some reason.
