Games should be fun, realism is boring
You're right, the series should've been called Half-Life since most of the radiation has already decayed (and Half-Life should be called Fallout because the series is about dealing with the fallout of a science experiment)
Oh fuck you're right
If they made it that real, it wouldn't be about exploring a big map and encountering stuff because you'd just have to take the same back and forth trips to the same 2 safe places to trade and buy survival stuff. That would be boring beyond belief. And no, I'm not just talking about the Bethesda Fallout games. Even in the old ones that shit would get annoying real quick.
radiation in fallout universe works like in those 50s cartoon infomercials. radiation is bad because it will make you glow and turns you into a mutant! and all that. thats the whole premise to the series' satirical post nuclear world.
>because you'd just have to take the same back and forth trips to the same 2 safe places to trade and buy survival stuff
So it would be stalker SoC?
that's pretty good.
...I'm trying to think of another game pair where you can swap names but I'm too tired
because the name is not referencing nuclear fallout, but rather the inevitable consequence of nuclear war: human civilization collapsing and regressing to a pre-industrial barbaric society
this. its not meant to be accurate. there is a reason the games have a retro-futurustic vibe
