Percieved Logic Faults

[Fonger]

Been playing long enough for a few issues to be slightly confusing

 

1 - in the Real World is there a difference between the kind of "powder" one would use to reload a rifle bullet casing and the "powder" you would use for pistol brass

-- ok, 22's use a different kind of powder and its casing needs no primer (primer is part of this powder)

-- smokeless is different from stick from black powder {from 22's powder}

but seriously - if you break down a 50 cal (or even a percussive hand grenade) wouldn't its "powder" work just fine in a 9mm?

 

so why is there a difference in game between rifle and pistol powder?

 

(haven't looked in-game to see if reloading a 22 uses primer)

 

 

 

2 - new alchemy ingredients have realistic weights, but then again should an empty tin can still weigh as much as an empty AND/OR full bottle of whiskey?

-- why didn't the dev's realistically evaluate the rest of the k-lutter?

{a cheap 1 pound box of bubble gum :wacko: }

-- oh they didn't want us to complain about changing weights from FO3 --- Fusion Battery is now mark II, almost 1/2 the weight as FO3

 

 

 

3 - Merchants are true samaritans they give spent casings to the courier {if you ask . . .}

- a merchant is a merchant is a merchant - if they have it, they sell it --- so why does the game have a selling value of 0 on these items

- agreed they should buy these items for 0, but not sell to you for anything other than caps

Interesting... I just thought of that.

 

1. I know next to nothing about real world guns. I'll just say it's he alternate universe the Fallout games take place in, although in reality I think they just didn't want to have you be able to reform pistol stuff into rifle and hoped people wouldn't notice.

 

2. Bah, this is Bethesda and Obsidian we are talking about. Their weight logic is always screwed up.

 

3. That my friend is probably a glitch or an unforeseen exploit in the merchant system. I myself don't use the recycle benches, but I have never noticed that the merchants sold anything for 0 caps. I'll have to check that now.
