Calling all wasteland vault dwellers (and Bethesda).... assistance needed!

that's hilarious, i just did this xD...i'll go try and get rid of my thread now xD

And of course the driver had no insurance. Poor guy.

The moral is to always wear your power armor while playing...

At least he lived, but I wonder how his character fared, eh?

Shoulda mounted a turret on the outside of his apartment...never woulda happened...

and the synthetic mesh t-shirt helped...

Why not sue the guy driving the car

Did the Xbox survive though? Since he's alright, this is the next question that needs to be asked.

^^ xD

Plot twist - He managed to finish killing a mythic deathclaw and save the game before hitting the ground.

Probably because the guy driving the uninsured car doesn't have any money to pay if sued.

In all seriousness I wish this gamer a speedy recovery and plan to help out with a small donation! This could have been anyone!

And to that uninsured jack donkey .. Stop driving an uninsured car and maybe try not testing gamers settlement strength by ramming through the walls in a vehicle. This is the reason raiders don't have cars in fallout 4; they would ram through the settlement fences.

Reaffirmed my decision to vote against vehicles in the wasteland.

If he would have been on a PS4 he would have been ok.

NO CHARGES AGAINST THE DRIVER?!?!

Man, the cops where I live throw the damn book at me if I so much as forget to signal. How the HELL does this lady get away with what she's done, and with no insurance to boot?

She should be banned from driving, at least.

If he were playing on pc he would've stopped the car with his mouse hand, given the driver of the car a lecture about why his driving was inferior, told him to upgrade to something better, and then continued to play.

That's either a very political thing, or.... What they mean is that she won't be charged with assault or negligence for the accident itself, or suchlike criminal charges, but you can bet she will get fines for driving uninsured and a suspension on her license with perhaps some jail time or community service as well.

As for suing her, if she can't afford insurance, she probably could never cover the attorney fees of the lawyers hired to sue her, or any damages levied against her, so that means not only would the guy still have hospital bills he'd still have to pay his lawyers and court costs on top of it.

it could've been a lot worse, this happened at an old ex's apt complex a long time ago where a jeep cherokee went through the window (1st floor was half underground) and decapitated resident while laying in their bed

Am I correct in assuming the name of the lady driving was... Beth?

Aggressive bit of advertising that.

Keep real world issues like politics and race of the forums please. Otherwise the thread gets locked and warns get handed out. Y'all know our rules.

edited for clarity.

I merged a second topic that was started into the earlier one, in case anyone was confused.

Thanks, thought the coffee hadn't hit my brain yet...

!!!

Exactly.

^^^ This, LMAO.
