some people say its unrealistic that you can heal yourself with nuka cola or iguana bits but they never say anything about the shooters like RDR or killzone or modern warfare where you heal when you don't get shot you have a bloodstain on your shirt and five seconds later when crawling behind a wall its gone thats unrealistic
don't you think?

I agree, but seriously. The food in this game heals for friggen crap. >_>
+1hp blood packs. wtf is that?

All I ever use for healing are stimpacks. My character has an identity crisis. He thinks he's good, but crackin' some skulls for a few "free" stimpack's he's got no issues with. *snicker*

You are right that most computer games are LESS realistic than fallout. I reckon Fallout is in a lot of ways the closest you get in game terms to running around in the real world, and as a result people maybe hold it to a higher standard of realism.

I don't think you could have a completely realistic FPS, unless it was a sniper game or something where a single bullet kills you or puts you out of action. It just wouldn't be much fun. I think fallout gets the right balance (esp on New Vegas on hardcoe mode).

You might some people who could help you increase your benefit from these, as you progress through the game.

There is a quest "Blood Ties" and those blood packs are worth their weight in gold when you completed that quest. I not going to tell how to start it. I hope you did not blew up Megaton.

Of course, in real life, if you receive one gunshot wound, you're more likely than not going to be laid up in a hospital bed for a week while docs put your innards back together, and you'll be recovering from your injury for months, and might never get full use of the injured part back again. In Fallout 3, you can get shot twenty or thirty times, stop at a sink and drink some water or sleep in a bed, and you're 100% again. Some realism has to be sacrificed to make the game fun, I guess.

Well i' v currently stopped for now until I get my MSi board and i5 I ordered. Then i'm restarting a whole new file. Refer to http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1134911-i-did-it-again/ if you want that story lol.
But I probably won't do it this time because neither of my characters will have a high enough speech to ask for double payment from Burke XD.



Well there are mods for the game that only allow you to take a few shots and you're basically dead lol.
Same with mods that give crippling effects more realism.
But I agree with that. You can't do a game realistic without making some fantasy.
Like could you imagine having a no wait function, and you HAD to sit there for 7 hours til that shop you need opened again? lmao
