It's not... Really it isn't.

You want to experience an anarchic wasteland? Try Uganda, Somalia or Sierra Leone for a few days. You get to drink from toilets, you'd probably have to kill bandits to survive and you will probably resort to eating from garbage bins.
Well that was uplifting.

Its not better than real life. Id rather not live in a Nuclear Wasteland. Although, i would like to do the flaming sword thing.
Of course it's not really better than real life, it's just a fun, geeky thread.

People take things far too serioulsy in here sometimes.

You can survive getting shot by several Super Mutants, in real life you can't.


In Fallout 3 you can drink irradiated water withot getting thyroid cancer.

People do not take things here too seriously!!! I KEEEL YOU. I KEEL YOU ALL.

Ahem...

But really my point is despite all the awe and pros of post-apocalyptic Washington. I can't bring myself to say it's better.

I mean flaming sword is easily remedied by that weird drill thing they designed where the blade is made entire of concentrated heat. Closest thing to a light saber really.

Some toilets really are clean enough to drink from, thanks to the freaky Japanese folks who though defeated Rhina and Russia in the 20th century, now spend the 21st century making hello kitty toasters.

As for killing ghouls... well... there's always the burn ward at your local hospital.

After reading everything I wrote, I'm pretty certain I'm going to hell.

Rusty/ probably used needles will not give you diseases but rather give you (usually) positive effects.
Also using Lincoln's repeater... while wearing his hat, the ghoul mask, and a pre-war suit (black) then hunting slavers to extinction!

I was hopping up and down when I saw him... such a great reference to Optimus. And his dialogue is hilarious.
Actually his name is not an intended reference according to his designer and creator.
I got that from Fallout Wiki!

Well some people might find it fun.

Oh well. He looks like Optimus, Sounds like Optimus, and is a badass robo warrior like Optimus so I shall maintain the comparison in my head anyway.

Because living next to a live atomic bomb has no negative health or mental effects.

Radiation poising can be easily fixed by going to your house and using a piece of equipment.

You have a gun that launches 8 mini nukes at once. 'nuff said.

I get to shoot people in the face with a shotgun if they are raiders and no one cares.

Side note, off-topic:

What is the reply button for? I have clicked it accidently many times, and all it does it take you to the bottom of the screen, where the reply box already was. It doesn't quote, it doesn't specify that you are replying to that person at all...what is the point of it?
To confuse people.

If you're a very good person, and walk into Megaton, a random person will run up and give you drugs or ammunition while professing utmost admiration for you.

Also, the undead walk, but they talk like they've all had six-pack-a-day smoking habits since the bombs fell and like to call you "smoothskin".

I'd rather play morrowind...
I rage quit Morrowind last night after 4 cliff racers creeped up on me at once... I couldn't stand the bloody squawking and the messy combat.

I just cannot for the life of me get into that game, despite how much I loved Oblivion.
