On the notion that, you kill me then eat me; not eating me will kill me.

Edit: I say this because you'll probably end up forgetting to realize that I'm still alive when you stare with your bloodshot eyes at my ribcage.

What do you mean 'resort'?

You can't resort to something you already do. :liplick:

O_o
*imagines a person chasing a deer*
hehehehe...


As an absolute last resort I suppose I would, though I don't think I'd kill someone for it you never know, survival instinct is incredibly powerful.

The only thing that I could eat with my chosen diet would be a British politician as judging by the way they act , they are 100% vegetable.

I wonder if some of these people who say they wouldn't have ever been hungry, and I don't mean i haven't eaten yet today hungry or even i'm fasting for a week hungry. I mean starving for days on end because you have no choice hungry. It's not a situation where morals, or health concerns, or preferences are going to carry much weight to your decision making. It is closer to having to use the bathroom. If you were in a situation where you had to go to the bathroom and the was no option for privacy for some strange reason, you would hold it for as long as you could maybe even days but eventually you would let go of your social objections and just go. Starvation in a civilization with laws and morals would not usually result in cannibalism but if you were to take away the laws and civilization you would kill someone for food either to take it from them or lacking an alternative to eat them. If you could not bring yourself to do that you would most likely be a victim or you would go crazy so you could stay alive without conflicting with your morals. Ive never heard of a human being simply starving to death when food was knowingly available.

I'd use my hair, at least on a hare.

That said, I'm most likely to be the one eaten here in this fictional situation ( please say it's fiction. )

Would everyone resort to it, probably not.. if they had at least the belief of another way and could reasonably achieve it.

Why are you people trying to kill deer with your teeth? Ever heard of *spears*? <_< Hell, even a club is a damned effective weapon if used with conviction. (Assuming you could run the animal down in the first place)

I haven't needed to in FoNV nor FO3. And yes I do believe Cannibal is a waste of a perk.

Why bother when the wasteland is a sh*thole anyway its not worth eating someone to survive and spend more time there and risk getting clabbered or clawed by deathclaws. lol (if it was real life that is)

In game its fun fun fun. Thought I would try it if I was really starving, only if it was cooked on a fire. Screw eating it raw. Blood tastes disgusting.

Probably not, no. If I did, in a life-or-death situation, and then survived, it'd haunt me for the rest of my life.

I believe that's one of those things that everyone will say "no" but will do when the situation arises. Like "would you drink from a toilet if you're dying from thirst?" oh yes, you would.

Soooo... I'm gonna say no and wait for it :rolleyes:

Toilet is a perfectly viable source of water. If you take water from the *tank*, not the bowl. Aside from collected mineral deposits, what's in the tank is the same as what comes out of your sink.

It should also pointed out that, no matter how nasty looking, no 300 year old dis-used toilet bowl is going to have any more bacteria living on it than your average rock.

Well at least the pathologic bursts of laughter would be fun.

Don't go smart on me, you know what I meant. :tongue:

No.
I just can't.
I do think that if someone is capable of eating another human that they should do it if it comes down to survival but I could never even think about eating a human(oid).
Let's put it into perspective, if I were to be in the Fallout world and I had to stab someone in order to survive then I'd have to go to the Wasteland Therapy Organization.
Feeling in my hand how someone's flesh rips apart and his/her warm blood floods out over my hand as I see it in his/her eyes that the life draws out of them as they gurgle up blood and violently slams their arms and legs in panic... (Yay for graphic.)
Horrible...
Even stabbing someone would be too much for me to do if I were in the Fallout universe, how the hell would I ever be able to cut someone up into pieces and throw a barbeque?

I would have thought human meat to be extremely healthy, considering they need the same nutrients to survive as you do. Humans are basically walking multi-vitamins

Ok, upon a cursory google investigation, it seems that the flipside is that since another human is susceptible to the same diseases, the meat is much more likely to be contaminated. That makes sense, I suppose. But is there a reason that human meat is inherently unhealthy? I still say it's better than dying though.

Wouldnt really be necessary as there would be enough preserved/canned/tinned food laying around within easy reach to last anyones lifetime.

Easy to be a tough guy in a game but in real life it might be a little more difficult for you to overcome one of our oldest and strongest taboos and take that sharp knife and lay into one of your recently fallen countrymen. First you have to madly fight down the urge to vomit as you start to skin the so familiar limb. Try hard not to look at the face. Could most of us even get past that part? Not to mention the boning, trimming, cleansing. Then the smell as it hits the hot pan? Pretty doubtful. Even if you get past all that the final test is yet to come as you lift the odorous flesh to your mouth. Not saying there arent hard core survive-at-all-cost personalities out there, but probly not too high a percentage.

TLDR (probly better if you didnt anyway) ancient taboos are hard to break, specially if there's multiple stages along the way to bail out

naw cause theres plenty of snacks and junk food that doesn't have much rads :whistling:
Though if forced the option i would prob say no then get eaten by cannibals

It's a question not many people can truthfully answer until it may happen, I'm sure almost all of the people who got on the flight that inspired http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106246/ would have said no to cannibalism as well.

Just start punching it to death if it tries to kick dodge and kick it in the face BAM!!!! Done

I couldnt eat someone i knew, that would just be wrong :cryvaultboy:

If i came across a dead body of a stranger, and was in the capital wasteland [much worse place than the Mojave] i probably would

As the last resort... Yes, I think I would. I wouldn't rather die than brake some moral codes in this regard. (But of course, I wouldn't know until I ended up in the situation in the first place, though.)

In desperate enough situation, all that matters, is survival.

To add to the topic, watch the movie "Alive", it depicts survival in extreme conditions.

My survival instinct might be willing, if I was desperate enough and there was a corpse around (I wouldn't kill another human just for food), but I'm not sure my eyes/emotions/stomach would be able to go through with it, if you know what I mean.

Yes, just don't eat the brain or organs, and cook the meat to at least 147 degrees F
