I know knives exist and cutting foods up is going to happen but... I can't help looking at the feeble iguana on a stick and thinking it's been zapped with a shrink ray. I mean where are they getting their meat from 'cos if I told them about the iguana's that attacked me in NV I'd look like a bit of a liar!

they were considerabley bigger than 4-5 plip-plops of scaled jerky!

Easy fix - bigger sticks, less cutting and no need for a shrink ray.

I agree that the creation kit can't come soon enough.

Uhm, those were giant geckos in FNV. Related to iguanas, but NOT the same thing. And iguana bits are not representative of an entire iguana. (Or maybe they are, given that we only get ONE one-pound steak out of an entire brahmin carcass.)

Iguanas are extinct, of course the meat is in small portions, why do you think you never find any iguanas or squirrels? They are the only animal that hasn't mutated to be super huge and scairy that looks apitizing (compared to rad roaches), they all got hunted down for meat, that is why their are no cats in DC. or New Vegas

Didja ever wonder... I mean we have scorpions larger than a sports car, flies the size of large eagles, mosquitos bigger than you average civilian drone... What if iguana's and squirrels and such like are NOT extinct, but simply went the other way in terms of size? What if that girl you wanna date is infested with crab-size iguanas? How would you deal with teeny, tiny squirrels living in your hair? Is that why raiders often have a "bald" look to their haircut?

Imagine having to say something like "Dude, speak up I can't hear ya. I got bunnies in my ears..."

generally radiation causes tumors in living animals which is most likely what caused the bugs to grow in size, I do not see how tumors could cause an animal to shrink in size.

But remember that this is Fallout's 1950s radiation rock and roll... Back then, there was much speculation about the effects of radiation in causing mutations like "The Incredible Shrinking Man" Perhaps?, and of course if they then breed true if the mutation is viable.One really good mutation against being lunch for overly large creatures would be to become a tiny nearly invisible lunch, eh?

Even without radiation, circumstances like forced inbreeding can cause reductions in size that are extreme, so if nearly all squirrels were killed during the war, and inbreeding among survivors was the result, a much smaller squirrel would not be surprising.

Iguana's are extinct?! Where did you get that idea from? So their meat has just been on those sticks all that time and it's still fine...

I think they are just an unseen part of the fallout world like many other things but, they took the time to put birds flying around teh wastes you'd think that time would be better spent adding things like iguanas running into cover and little holes etc? Surely birds couldn't fly anyway because like most of the creature sin the waste they'd lose their feathers/fur with radiation? Just be like a rockin' bald easy pickin for anothe better adapted species to feed on until they became extinct?

Did you ever read the Sell By dates on Salisbury Steaks? On Yum-Yum Deviled Eggs? On Fancy Lad Snacking Cakes? Pretty much ALL of those expired by early 2078. But 210 years later, they are apparently still edible. (And to think some people believe artificial preservatives are a Bad Thing. Next they'll be telling us pickled Iguana-on-a-stick is bad for you.) [It's the stick that makes all the difference. Use a slice of petrified tree and stuff lasts forever.]

Twinkies still fresh in 20,000 years for the win!

eso has small lizards running around in dessert zones

It's obvious that the food is treated in some way or the other. The special item is compressed under the feet of a power armor then unnessessary weight is taken away by a magic beam to get pure nutrition. Where's the problem?

Yes but they are wrapped up, packaged, sealed. Iguana meat is not. So no, I don't think they are extinct, they are plentiful and they hunted down for food all the time. We just have not seen them in the fallout world yet.

Iguana Bits aren't made from Iguana's.

LOLOLOL.

Guess I won't be eatin' any more of dem.

CANNIBALISM FOR THE WIN!!!!

*Charlton Heston voice* Iguana Bits is people!!!

I, as a wasteland gourmand, prefer the term, "long pig".

There is some http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFMi-ycJgPA.
