Radiation count and effect to be reworked

[JFSOCC]

I'm sure wikipedia has an increased activity of views of this page:

 

Acute radiation poisoning symptoms per radiation level

 

It would be nice to have someone rework the mechanism of radiation in the game to be more similar to this.

naturally it remains a game, so use your fantasy: instead of mutation of dna to produce cancer, it could produce, say, an extra arm :P or it could do either, and your luck comes into play which it will be

also, the "latent" period could make for interesting gameplay: not knowing the full result for several days (or in gameplay, a shorter period, as too much can happen in days)

 

 

it would also lead to more open ended possibilities in the game when treating this: do you treat the symptoms, or the disease. if the results are different, it could lead to player choices affecting gameplay. (say, extra VATS action points if you have that extra arm?)

 

also, on a side note: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_War_Survival_Skills

 

would have been nice to see more of that stuff worked into the game as a satire.
