Looking at image #17

shows that when we are damaged, we have red jelly in our eyes in this Fallout game as well. That's all good and well, I suppose. Just always kind of irritates me to have my view obscured by this jello-mold gone wrong. Especially when I've been shot in the leg or something. I understand that it's intended to be an indicator that you're being damaged, but I feel like it's very out-of-date.

It's just pink eye

I don't see what it accomplishes that a health bar and maybe the occasional staggering or blur effect don't. I agree, bleeding out of the eyes is a common effect in games that tends to irritate me.

That's not our blood, that's the blood of the nonorganic thing we just killed.

Agreed, very annoying.

Pretty sure I recall a simple edit to an ini file will remove this (not sure how that is done via consoles, tho).

I guess you guys want you phone to vibrate or something

definitely a deal breaker

just gonna wait to see if FO5 fixes this travesty before i get back into the series

but no i dont care

i dont really remember the last action/violence game to not do some sort of fade/red sheen/blood splatter effect when i was getting my ass handed to me

not sure id let that little thing annoy me

indifference is the most you should give that tiny screen effect so you dont get a sour spot building up in your head

Blood/Jello in my eyes? Darn. No kill vegan playthrough ruined.

Same thing in New Vegas and Fallout 3, take some damage and one of the effects is some blood spatter on your eye-camera viewport thing.

I always found it one of the stranger stock effects in videogames, but meh. Bethesda's way of doing it is so unobtrusive that it doesnt bother me nearly at all. Ive seen some straight FPS games that really like to splatter up your screen when you're taking damage, and that takes more the form of the red jelly instead of a more splatter-like effect. I think its a bad effect, would rather it not be there at all, but the minor splatter versus the heavy jello is really day and night.

Some games make the screen go dark red, with the edges sort of 'veining' out toward the center when you take damage. That's a lot more distracting than the blood droplets that vanishes after a few seconds.

Pretty negligible, if you ask me. It's literally never impeded my gaming. But, to each their own

Really want jelly and ice cream now . . .
