Infinite bladder? : Fallout: New Vegas

<_< It''s a game. It's not meant to be 100% realistic.

Annoyance because of one reason:
This is a RPG (ROLE PLAYING GAME)
90% of the things you do in fallout are choices.
Taking a leak every 'x' ammount of time isn't a choice. Whats the point?

Hey it's a choice, you either hold it in till your kidneys explode, or you use the bathroom

It'd probably be an annoyance for sure.

For role-playing you can always pretend that you just used the toilet.. but even that would be an annoyance.

Just imagine that you have a perk that lets you take all the energy from your food and drinks, and that you never have to create waste because of it.

Sooo..not to be a downer or anything, but can we lock this up? everyones made their point really, not much else worth discussing.

I don't know, depends.... I guess.

Has anyone else ever noticed how your character never goes to the bathroom? I mean even if you used the toilet you drank out of it.

Would it add to immersion or just be an annoyance? :shrug:

I'd probably drink first, pee later. Or just piss in a different place, like a tree :mellow:

Always been a bit bothered with games trying to be more and more immersive.
There is a point where it get's too immersive.
No longer a game.
It's a simulator.
I don't buy simulators.
I buy games.

Fallout turn into a simulator.
And I'm out.

You're too late, bro. Just look at that tagline at the top of the page: "America's First Choice in Post Nuclear Simulation".
See? It's already a simulator. Better cancel that preorder.

Only a tag-line.
I mean when the game actually feels more like a simulator than a game.
Fallout 3 was a game.
New Vegas with hardcoe Mode is most likely still a game.
But if things go too over the top with the realism then it becomes a simulator.

So the tagline. Would you believe me if I said I was a coconut? Most likely you wouldn't.
It says simulator but as of yet it's still a game.

If they add Jarate to New Vegas, I wouldn't see it as an annoyance. Turn all those empty Nuka Cola bottles into something useful. =P

Oh, and then like Styles [a fellow member on this board] has mentioned, we could also start making our own brand of Yellow Nuka Cola.

annoyance.

this is fallout!
not The sims- survival of the fittest

lol SpEcTrE is de best :celebration: But yea that would be annoying to have to take a break from surviving and crap out your dinner. I mean would if you got attacked while on the toilet? :gun:

Killing a man or woman taking a dump is just he most evil thing one can do IMO.
You just don't shoot someone who's taking a dump, you simply don't.
(I know people crap their pants when they die anyway but I still find it to be wrong to kill someone taking a dump)
It's like the episode of south park where cartman says to butter "You don't shoot someone in the balls man, you just don't".

So I can't shoot someone in the junk OR while they use the toilet.... Murder etiquette is soo complicated. :facepalm:

Sure is.

Immersion only if you can drink it.

Wow, finally! I was just sitting here thinking, gee we need a pee thread

Seriously though, I think that's a bit much.
