Wouldn't it be cool if you lose some rads if you use the toilet?

You mean pretend my character is taking a [censored]?

I doubt anyone does this unless they really love paying Papa Khan a visit every 8 hours, seeing how he's got the only toilet you can sit on.

There are out houses. Sandwich Head sat in one today. The one in Sloan. it was just for fun. But normally? No.

How would going number 1 or 2 make you loose rads?

You [censored] them out, obviously.

Everyone knows the way to survive a nuclear holocaust is by taking a healthy dose of laxatives and planting yourself on the toilet until the bombs stop falling. (pun not intended)

I don't trust outhouses. 'Nuff said.

Even I don't go that far and I RP pretty seriously.

My courier is an advanced lifeform, he is above the need to defecate in holes.

My Courier pulls out his package and blazes the trail as he runs down the road.

I don't either, but why are there role players who walk and don't run? how does that work anyway?

Like: i'm on 360... so than i push the control stick just a little bit?!? I'm not that anol... sounds silly to me.


Some rads, not all.

I did it on one playthrough because I was curious to see:

1) How scarce water and food became if travel took longer.

2) How important the character felt on a dead-is-dead playthrough if every step taken actually took a decent amount of time, meaning their death would be HORRIBLE.


Water and food and sleep actually did end up being harder to come by, for a while. I remember getting dehydrated to the third level once and doing a dungeon with sleep deprivation, which I'd never done before. The character DID actually feel more fulfilling and realistic too. I wasn't winning 3 different battles in a single day's time.


Honestly though, I doubt I could do it on another playthrough. Once was enough.
Besides, the Courier is a....well he's a friggin' Courier. He of all RP rolls would be used to running everywhere: it's his job.

Funny... made me laugh.

Very true though.

We RPers are gonna have trouble using that same reasoning if the protagonist of Fallout 5 is called "the Slacker" or something, though.

I don't even see freeform roleplayers using toilets UNLESS it is plot-related or makes the story interesting.


So I might feign the need in certain situations to make things a little bit more interesting but... we don't read about it in books so why would everyone roleplay it?

you could add it as a feature to hardcoe mode:

If you don't use a toilet once every 3 game hours you get a message - 'You've just p****d / and or / cr****d yourself, -1 agility while you dry your pants out, or change into another outfit.

I think this could work... : )

Don't you think -2 Charisma would be more appropriate?

- 2 charisma and a new animation of your character waddling round with wet trousers.

How about luck? because you're [censored] out of luck

This thread is too good for words.

My character always just drops his trowsers and goes wherever he's standing. Got me kicked out of the Ultra Lux one time but whatever, those cannibals are stuck up anyway....

Gommorah's prosttutes are far more open-minded when it comes to such activities.

I role play a lot, I love the hardcoe mode cuz it enhances the needs to eat, sleep, etc. But I don't RP using toilets and/or bath tubs. If they had an option to actually USE the toilet and not show your hand sipping water from it,and have a gauge to keep watch of your "bodily wastes" level then sure!

One word. Depends. I'm sure some could be scavenged up from somewhere.
