how does alot of things in fallout make sense. How does it make sense that there are big green and blue people running around the wastes and hangin out in the mountains, how does it make sense that the U.S never progressed past the 50's in most aspect but in other they are way more advanced than anything we have today? how are there giant scorpions and wasps roaming around the wastes? how come everyone can smoke cigarettes but me? etc etc, its a videogame it doesn't have to make sense.
if i drop something i can pick it up, throwing is alot like dropping just a little bit harder. The pc version has a mod dedicated to just this which means the ability to pick up thrown objects is there, and before you start saying that i should play it on pc let me tell you that thats not even a fair statement to say. I bought the game for the xbox so i could play it for the xbox. I just hope that if a third patch comes out that they let me pick up throwings weapons.
