I have always thought that they could market educational downloads for Fallout to high school/ college students. Kind of like those Fisher Price games that con kids into learning reading and math. It would be implemented entirely through dialogue and the difficulty setting can change. They could make you feel as if you are performing a quest or job to help someone while you are being quizzed on material.
Example mini-mission idea:
You are working in a clinic for some spare caps and your first patient comes in:
Dave Jones: 25 year old male
“I have this cut on my hand that that soon turned into a raised itchy bump within a few days. Today is day 13, and it is now a painless ulcer about 3 cm wide. The odd thing is it was all black and nasty looking in the center. I think it is infected. I am noticing a lot of swelling of the tissues and surrounding lymph glands. I tried putting neosporin/ healing powder on it but it hasn't done much for me.
I cut it thirteen days ago on the first day of harvest for my farm. I harvest Bighorn sheep’s wool and not working is really going to hurt my profits. I often get minor cuts and scraqes on the job but nothing like this. It doesn't hurt all that much but is itchy. The icing on the cake is that I have picked up a bit of a fever yesterday and have been vomiting on and off.”
Both parents living at the age of 55 and in great health; Brother died two years ago at the age of 27 from tuberculosis.
"Two of my sheep have died earlier this week that had always been perfectly healthy. Do you think it could be related? This only happened to me and none of the other workers.
I sometimes collect and consume some of the mushrooms in the fields. I have done this recently."
Very active lifestyle due to work; No NCR military history; no travel; balanced diet; drink three 12 oz. beers a night; smoke a pack of cigarettes a day; I am in a monogamous marriage with no STD’S.
The nurse advises you that he was slightly hypotensive when he arrived at the clinic.
Extra hints: The knife was relatively clean. The wound was left uncovered. It was a puncture wound. The black is necrotic flesh. The wound was cleaned.
A hint is that one test came back and revealed that it is gram positive. Anaerobic Growth test came back negative so you know it is not Clostridium.
You do a spore formation test ant it comes back positive. Then you do a motility test that comes back negative..... This should narrow it down to two possible causes.
Now what do you think is wrong with this man and more importantly, what do you treat this poor man with?
