Gone feral

[babastini]

That's a good idea but simply going feral because of a rad or two you got from steping in a puddle sound stupid. You should get a message saying you dont feel too well, that you shoukd take a radaway or go see a doctor, then after 10 minutes without care you go crazy or something. I wish it was do-able but i dont think it is.

no no. i'm thinking at the point when your rad level would normally kill you, you don't die instead you go feral and the lack of brains or the envirnment kills ya or you can just hit esc and load your last save like you would if you had been killed

I like the idea, specially with mods that makes it harder to get RadAway and other chems. Radiation is suddenly a real threat!

 

But what if you get that final tick of radiation in an empty place? You'd be stuck there forever, no?

 

At the least have a timer on aswell, like within 3 minutes your brain explodes or some such. Just in case.

 

Not too big of a deal just load your last saved game if that happens, since thats what would happen once you died anyway

I realize this is essentially thread resurrection (or ghoulification?), but what if hitting max radiation level made you feral... on a timer? Basically, you'd hit max radiation, then go feral for a time and while you're feral you slowly tick off radiation.

 

Maybe even make it so you're a glowing one while you're feral, so you're giving off radiation (and thus the explanation for how you're losing it) until you've dropped a full level of rads. This way it also doesn't matter if you're in an empty space or not - you're just naturally dropping off the radiation until you get to a certain point and then return to normal again.
