Female hands when using Pipboy

Recommended Posts

I was really surprised that this long after release this issue has yet to be addressed by Bethesda, or even widely spoken about (I couldn't find a single discussion about it when Googling). If you play a female character, when you use the Pipboy you have "man hands" instead of "girl hands". I find this totally immersion-breaking. It would be awesome if someone could make a mod to fix this issue. Cheers!

I agree, I noted the same thing.

She should even have polished nails, as she was cryogenised.. ! :D

 

Only if Nora's the sort of woman that polishes and paints her nails. If you've got an infant son, maintaining your nails might not be on your list of priorities.

It's likely that it would. Remember that the pre-war america of the fallout world is depicted as being heavily based on the 1950's america, even if it's a retro-futuristic 1950's far off in the future.

 

Ideals and culture were a bit different then. Married women were largely expected to both be good homemakers/mothers and maintain their appearance. Having a kid was not considered a reasonable excuse to let your grooming standards go, and if you did then the other housewives of the suburbian "paradise" you lived in would most certainly gossip negatively behind your back.

 

And considering that they live in a 1950's-esque retro-future with a robot butler to do most of the heavy lifting in terms of housework, I'd say it would be even more of a stigma not to visit the beauty salon and getting a mani/pedi done a couple of times a month.

 

Of course, certain values have shifted since the 1950's (thankfully for both men and women), but if the pre-war america in fallout is supposed to be somewhat consistent with it's 1950's-inspired aesthetics and culture, then her nails should be polished. Perhaps even with a kind of "space-age" super acrylic that manages to keep the nails clean and pristine for hundreds of years even in the post-apocalyptic world.

 

Heck this gave me an idea for a perk! "Space Age Nail Polish: after having your nails done with space age nail polish you now get a permanent +10 to unarmed damage. Go scratch their eyes out!" :D
