I got such a good chuckle out of this.

It tells me the dog is too heavy for me to pick up.

Actually yes is it immersive. I can not think of a better role for a bunch of twitchy jerk gamers than raiders. The persona matches perfectly.

I don't know, it all depends on perspective and scale, and these things can be quite subjective. For instance super mutants have to be made, they dont breed or spawn, so there is in fact a finite number of them. Same for ghouls actually, but there would be many more of them since they mostly derive from pre-war populations that were not atomized or killed.

Just what is the human population of Boston? Surely if there is a lawman running around who has killed hundreds over time, there would be some kind of effect.
