The Hoover Dam spillways are dry, yet water pours from them (silently, I might add).

Mr.House having little security and a button to shut himself off(You would think that wouldn't exist)
The Courier being so blank he has no friends or family(Until the DLC reveals Papa Khan is your dad)

These two things are silly

Why does no one drink brahmin milk?

That's what I've also been wondering about- why are milk bottles not consumable?

What do women do to deal with their periods in the wasteland? "oh so that's where that blood stain came from.."

Presumably what they always did before the invention of tampons and panty liners- folded cloth rags.

Why is there Pork&Beans, but no pigs anywhere?

Something else I'm curious about: why are there lots of scorpions but no big spiders? Why are geckos all over the place but no snakes?

Also Boomers artillery is guided by spotters
But how can they see past all those rocks and building's if they never go past the gates?

They did come to Nellis from elsewhere. Might have mapped out the surrounding area before they isolated themselves.

Would YOU want to drink 200 year old milk??

Where in the DLC did you see that this is true?

It's yellow above a layer of black.

Sorry, on my phone the background is all white. Forgot the actual web site is black backed.

The NCR has a good size army, yet at the end, it's you by yourself (maybe a few others) that takes out the Legions vast army for the NCR.

Doesn't really matter when you have a 150mm artillery gun...

But they don't bombard the entrance constantly, somehow they know when you are coming. Made even more curious when using a Stealth Boy. And FYI, Stealth Boy blocks infrared emission too (atleast according to the mods i use :hehe:).

I don't think it's 200 year old, actually, or people wouldn't stock it in kitchens. It's probably new, Brahmin or Bighorner milk.

Does shooting at a tumbleweed with a caravan shotgun and blowing it miles away
with1 shot until it's out of sight make sense.

I just see the stimpacks made from roots and flowers as the non-tribal way to make healing powder.

but you and Fleapants are right stupid is to strong of world. I know why they did it, Fleapants sums it up nice as to why. A mod to heal ED-E with weapons kits would be good.

I don't see it that way. In Fallout 2 Hakunin would mix Broc flower and Xander root to create a tribal "healing powder"; and the stuff drains 1 from perception for six hours.

Stimpaks were described as "contains many healing chems. A soup of healing medication, if you will."; it can be assumed (though is not stated) that they are leftover (possibly military) medical supplies. There are no known (mentioned) major drug facilities manufacturing them. The idea that the PC can make one with a random syringe, flower and a root [to me], is just absurd.

Finding safehouses after hours of exploring, only to find out you need a key to access them :banghead:

Where the squarrials went and how strangly if no ones been in the lucky 38 why is there squarrial stew and on a stick in there?

Daisy said she flew the Vertibird that crashed in FO2
Yet there are bodies all over the place
How did she get away?
Wouldn't the Enclave had picked up the Bodies if they picked her up?

Also Boomers artillery is guided by spotters

There are two bodies. Possible others survived and she did. "Any landing you can walk away from".

Its possible Enclave did pick up the bodies just took them along time to get around to it.

Howitzers don't need line of site. You just need the distance for a couole of points. Over the years I bet the Boomers have the range targets for every square foot of land for miles around. There is also that giant control tower.

Fair enough.

Alot of Chems have been changed. Jet for some reason is still around but its good for you with little to no downside. FO2 it really messes a person up.
