Jarfer Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Playing Fallout 3 for hundreds of hours, installing so many mods I lost count, the game a partly user-created, partly Bethesda Studios created masterpiece....in the midst of the rush of excitement that comes with each new mod I install, I suddenly stopped and wondered: Where are the air conditioners? o___o Also the characters never get sweaty or unhygienic. No, wait! Before you tell me to stop talking and go outside right this second, I should say that it's pitch black out there and if anybody is still awake at this time, it's probably to find their next victim... anyway, I was wondering where this essential equipment for maintaining body heat (the AC) had been all this time. Maybe body heat could be a new stat to watch in the Primary Needs mod or something...anyway just throwing that out there. : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chronosmagus Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I believe an implementation of this is actually one of the new features in New Vegas, the aspect of being out in the desert with little to no water. They replaced the radiation with something like dehydration.. don't know the details though, might want to search for a preview :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htomsirveauxjr Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 If you're wondering how he lives and breathes, and other science facts, just repeat to yourself "It's just a *game*, I should really just relax". But really, two hundred years with no AC, I think they'd get used to it. @chronosIn NV, that is the hardcore mode. Radiation is still something to worry about.

chronosmagus Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I guess I didn't pay enough attention to the details given about the upcoming game, having both is even better though. I'm really glad they've actually added a vanilla 'realism' mode, those are usually the first mods I install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilneko Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Meh, they're in DC. They get by with fans. Though, being from Texas I can't help but still think of the wasteland as a hot place. S'why Blaze wears shorts. ;) In New Vegas they could get by without A/C too, by using a much lower-tech cooling technology: evaporative cooling.
