Things that dont make sence FO3 version

[5ivexxxxx]

Why are there only a few variants of weapons? Even in the National Guard Armory there are Assault Rifles that are all the same, no concussion grenades, no modified weapons, and only one kind of combat armor. That seems a bit off.

 

Also, if you can reprogram turrets to a slight degree, then why can't you reprogram protectrons? And, also regarding protectrons, why did the creators make them friendly to anyone holding an easily aquired Employee ID? Someone could steal one off a real employee and not be bothered at all by protectrons, allowing them to steal from the store!

I loved this topic at oblivion.

 

How does a pressure plate trigger a rigged shotgun trap, or do anything all since the pressure plate just sits on the ground with nothing attached to it.

--Fallout 3 was made using the parts of the oblivion engine...So magic! (magical blue-tooth ;D)

 

Also, if you can reprogram turrets to a slight degree, then why can't you reprogram protectrons?

--You can, just in one mission. I bet they did because it would get too boring after while.

- .If I steal a pass that only uses that to check if you may access. I could just walk into the pentagon.

(Or at least a few years ago.)

 

 

Why is it that the player has that much ease to detonate a nuclear bom, that it has never been used with the of the other ones that are in storage a few miles away?

[thefev]

This game is seriously flawed.

 

Bullets that don't make a hole in the taget's head but actually RIP it off entirely??? Shouldn't there be a hole at the point of impact?

 

Why does shooting at someone blow them up into gore? Yet their eyes are still intact. Not even broken or pierced in anyway to allow its content to flow.

 

Shouldn't a bullet to the head KILL instantly? Or are they really THAT THICK that their heads can actually stop a bullet?

 

WHY THE *ban me* DID THEY MAKE RADIOACTIVE CARS???? I mean, srsly, isn't that some serious health & safety issue there? Nuclear cars would emit radiation that could quite potentially kill the driver and the passenger with radiation or, in the long run, cancer?

 

And also, if you could just shoot at someone's car a couple of times and it exploded into a mini mushroom cloud, why do they still park it so close to their houses? Heck, what if a cat decided to scratch it in the middle of the night and it inexplicably blew up?

 

Why is it that I could run into a car, which is quite definitely heavier than me by at least a factor of ten, I remain where I was and the car acts as if hit by another car and gets pushed 5-20 metres away?

 

Why are there drugs in the first-aid kits???

 

Why are bullets weightless, even when you're carrying more than 20 types of them and holding 3000+ rounds of each type?

 

Why are there guns in the children room of the house?

 

Why do grenades NEVER explode in your face when you cook them?

 

Why do mini-nukes not emit radiation?

 

Why is it that only food and ingestables have radiation, but not highly radio-conductive materials, like conductors or pilot lights or houses???

 

Why does the GECK kill you when activated? How does a garden that was spawned from a suitcase kill you? It's a frickin' garden full of flowers and life ffs.

 

Why are there raiders everywhere? Do they have some kinda secret communication that allows them to communicate with each other over distance to 'keep in touch?'

 

The only functioning vehicles are the vertibirds? What about all those cars across the wasteland? Surely, you'd be able to salvage the parts to make a single car work properly?

 

Do ghouls use wonderglue to keep their skin on? If their skin peels away that much, how to they even have any left? And wouldn't the peeling cause some internal organs to cease functionality? yet, they pump themselves full of cigarettes, booze and drugs.

 

How the *ban me* do you cripple a head???

 

If there are satellites, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE INTERNET???????

[Cecallred]

If the Professor could make a radio out of two coconuts and some baling wire, why couldn't he just fix the frigging' boat? Oh, sorry, wrong thread ...

This game is seriously flawed.

For the sake of FPS.

 

Why does shooting at someone blow them up into gore? Yet their eyes are still intact. Not even broken or pierced in anyway to allow its content to flow.

 

Explosive bullets?

 

Shouldn't a bullet to the head KILL instantly? Or are they really THAT THICK that their heads can actually stop a bullet?

 

Well, if a bullet to the head killed everytime, the game would get boring and too easy.

 

WHY THE *ban me* DID THEY MAKE RADIOACTIVE CARS???? I mean, srsly, isn't that some serious health & safety issue there? Nuclear cars would emit radiation that could quite potentially kill the driver and the passenger with radiation or, in the long run, cancer?

 

This is the 50s view of the future, they hought stuff like tha would be around.

 

And also, if you could just shoot at someone's car a couple of times and it exploded into a mini mushroom cloud, why do they still park it so close to their houses? Heck, what if a cat decided to scratch it in the middle of the night and it inexplicably blew up?

 

Because people dont go around shooting cars. And cats aren't stupid

 

Why is it that I could run into a car, which is quite definitely heavier than me by at least a factor of ten, I remain where I was and the car acts as if hit by another car and gets pushed 5-20 metres away?

 

Cause its light and fluffy

Why are there drugs in the first-aid kits???

 

Medicines a drug.

 

Why are bullets weightless, even when you're carrying more than 20 types of them and holding 3000+ rounds of each type?

 

So you can hold more, its a GAME.

 

Why are there guns in the children room of the house?

 

Cause kids have guns now. dont hit them.

 

Why do grenades NEVER explode in your face when you cook them?

 

Cause you're not stupid.

 

Why do mini-nukes not emit radiation?

 

They do...

 

Why is it that only food and ingestables have radiation, but not highly radio-conductive materials, like conductors or pilot lights or houses???

 

Maybe they do, but you dont eat them.

 

Why does the GECK kill you when activated? How does a garden that was spawned from a suitcase kill you? It's a frickin' garden full of flowers and life ffs.

 

It takes in all matter surrounding it and destroys it, creating a "blank canvas"

 

Why are there raiders everywhere? Do they have some kinda secret communication that allows them to communicate with each other over distance to 'keep in touch?'

 

Yes, its called radio.

 

The only functioning vehicles are the vertibirds? What about all those cars across the wasteland? Surely, you'd be able to salvage the parts to make a single car work properly?

 

Nope, they'repretty scrappd.

 

Do ghouls use wonderglue to keep their skin on? If their skin peels away that much, how to they even have any left? And wouldn't the peeling cause some internal organs to cease functionality? yet, they pump themselves full of cigarettes, booze and drugs.

 

When you get sunburn only a bit comes off.

 

How the *ban me* do you cripple a head???

By shooting it, DUH!

 

If there are satellites, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE INTERNET???????

Wasnt around then. Satellites were always around before internet.

 

 

Consider yourself replid to.

[Harabec Weathers]

I mish i had a fallout 3 insta heal stimpak because i just fractured my hand :/

[JimboUK]

What happened to the cats? cats are survivors and wouldn't let a small thing like a nuclear holocaust bother them, hell they probably started it.

 

 

That would be the same team (or their distant descendants) that shove forks and gold pieces up wolves' bottoms in Oblivion..

 

Maybe wolves are more civilised in Cyrodiil.

When playing The Pitt add-on I always side with Ashur and shoot Werhner. Why? Because Werhner and Midea are both the most unhelpful people I've ever taken a quest from (well... that I can recall off the top of my head.) I mean, Moira may be almost sociopathic in how she loves asking people to break their bones, get irradiated, or walk into minefields but at least she gives me the info I need to complete the task she gives me.

 

Werhner asks me to find The Cure but doesn't ever elaborate on what it is or what it looks like. If there was a dialog option to ask "Is it bigger than a breadbox? Is it green? Is it mechanical or chemical in nature? If you want me to go get something for you then al least tell me what I'm supposed to be getting!!"

 

I think it would have been really awesome if there was the option to just grab a bottle of RadAway, scribble the words "The Cure" in crayon on the label and then hand it to him when you meet him near the end of the Quest.

 

Werhner: Alright then, just put the brat in this little science lab and... what? Where's the kid?

 

Me: What kid? I brought The Cure, just like you asked. *hands him a bottle of RadAway with The Cure scribbled on the front*

 

Werhner: What the... hey *bleep* *bleep* this isn't The Cure, this a bottle of RadAway this is worthless.

 

Me: Hey, genius. Your sickness thing involves radiation, right. RadAway cures radiation sickness, therefore it was the closest thing to The *bleep*ing Cure I could find in that room. If you wanted me to kidnap a baby, then it really would have helped if you had told me up front to kidnap Ashurs baby... you know, and maybe explained that it had some kind of mutation resistance thing going on. Seriously, I don't know how you backwater freaks do things around here but in the Captital Wasteland we tend to think of medicine as refined substances found in bottles, not babies. You know what my plan is? I'm going to stick with Ashur and stay on his good side until he finally produces a finished usable product that can be used to cure this sickness, and then I'll have it mass-produced and administer it to your slave buddies or whatnot. Cause frankly, up until this point in time it seemed that this mission was to cure the sickness. But I guess your plan was to hold Ashurs kid hostage or something. Again, if that was your plan... then you should have told me so I could carry it out!

 

Werhner: ... I am now deciding to become hostile to you for no apparent reason.

 

Me: *Use my Rock-it-Launcher to blow off Werhners head with a barrage of teddy bears*

 

 

 

Oh, and he dissed my followers. Seriously, he complained about me bringing along Sergeant RL-3. "We can't maintain your robot out there, and really we don't need a bucket of bolts cramping our style."

 

Hey Werhner, this 'bucket of bolts' is an over 200 year old sophisticated war robot who I've seen take direct hits from Super Mutant missile launchers without flinching (I have Broken Steel installed). He's got a plasma weapon and a flamethrower of which neither need reloading and he can apparently repair himself back to full strength without needing any spare parts whatsoever! I say you let me bring my robot buddy along and then we can take over your little backwater town while slaughtering all who oppose us.

 

Werhner: Um... I uh... thats not a good idea because um... then it would be harder for me to backstab you once you've served your purpose?

 

Me: Sergeant, dispose of this communist ruffian.

 

Sergeant RL-3: By your command! *shoots Werhners head off with plasma gun*

 

Me: *loots Werhners body and finds a map to the Pitt* Sergeant, I do believe we should prepare for a an extended tour of duty... it is time to liberate a city from communist occupation.

And how come that when I blast everyone on Mr. Crowley's list and I only see their skulls explode into a gory mist of shattered bone and shredded flesh and whole fountains of blood at their moment of death, that my character tells Crowley that they "died, but not from a headshot?".

You have to use the sniper rifle he gives you.

 

Today I shot Ted Strayer with a silenced 10mm pistol -and it counted as a headshot! Would it make a difference that prior to taking on Crowley's gig I had talked to Ted telling him he was a freeloader. He then cringed on the floor and I found him there, still cringing, when I came to kill him; I could no longer talk to him -that's always how he ends up after I tell him he's a good-for-nothing.

 

Anyway, I went into VATS mode to sneak/snipe a Supermutant. I used up all of my Action Points and when the final shot rang, the Mutie was done for. He fell down in cool slo-mo. As he hit the ground he bounced a bit and then, seemingly out of nowhere, his head exploded. I was like WTF? You can bang your head when you fall down and get a nasty concussion -but this was too much. Oh, and the Mutie was already dead, so it didn't really matter whether it was going to be a simple concussion or his head gone missing. But seriously, that just doesn't add up.

Were you in the Red Racer Factory when this happened?
