The issue: here's something that's always bothered me; Radiation is not a threat in the wasteland. its more of an inconvenience (somewhat like getting mole rat disease at level 50) with the amount of nuclear waste, nuclear detonations during the war, the glowing sea, rad storms and water made 80% of feral ghoul piss; there is a lot of radiation around. like, you go near any of these things, you're instantly raped by rads. with all of this radiation around, the air in the wasteland is awfully clean... its not likely that the water would be so contaminated and there would be radiation storms if the air we breath is so clean. An explanation: my point in this is that we should be copping a lot more rads when we are out in a NUCLEAR WASTELAND. afterall, radiation has a long half-life, so it would not be all gone after a mere 200 years. I have played fallout 4 for hundreds of hours, and ive found that radiation was never really a very big threat. I never wore hazmat suits, I never took any rad-x, and even though rad-away is so rare, I would end up with hundred of them in storage The mod we need: SO!! I think this would be a rather simple mod to make, and would improve immersion and gameplay considerably: no matter what you're doing, if you're outside, you should be taking small radiation damage (not much, maybe like 2 or 3 rads) this way, it actually feels like you're in a polluted nuclear wasteland, and radiation is actually a thing that you should be cautious of, and would make things like hazmat suits, rad-away, rad-x, and the Lead Lined armour mod something to care for and for people who think there is too much radiation (or too little) this could also have a settings holotape or settings page on MCM which allows users to alter the amount of rads they take from being outside. or have several download options for different amounts of rads
