Radiation

should radiation do realistic damage (blindness,baldness etc.), or mutate you in some way (grow an extra arm, grow a few feet taller etc.)

I remember some game (Abomination) that this virus was taking over the city. You had to clean it up, but as more and more virus went over the city (you were failing) your team got mutated and better...

So a little radiation at the start could harm you mabye, then you get extra perks like an extra arm, or a 5 foot tongue (at the cost of charisma)

Thoughts?

Obviously in a way that it would resemble that of the sci-fi pulp that Fallout is fashioned from, mutations. Giant mutations like the Radscorpions (we'll ignore MCA's nose candy version), and more would be great. I also thought that the wanamawhathefuckarethesethings might be best explained as radioactive ants, than the shitty no history or reason for "aliens" being in there.

Both are OK. In fact, the PC would first feel the 'realistic' radiation damage as a warning(cancer would suck though) and if gotten a larger dose, maybe mutate to some degree. An extra toe or finger at the cost of charisma is appropriate, perhaps not quite mutate into centaur kind of freaks. I'd like to 'accidentally' fall into a FEV container. :wink:

Yeah, I'm not expecting FEV type-master-mutations. Just the kinda stuff on total recall.

Well there was that 6th toe... But i would have to say realistic. The other mutations could possibly happen by a low amount of FEV contact.

Why didn't you just come out and say that you want to have 3-breasted prostitutes in FO3?

Sadly, Eccentrica Gallumbitis, the triple-breasted whore of Eroticon Six, is only in the Hitch-Hiker's Guide of the Galaxy.

You should delete that post before someone from BIS sees that and makes it a Easter egg in Fallout 3... ;)

Well, you had deformed SM prostitutes in FOT. :wink:
Was it in Quincy, the beastlord mission?

That's the kinda thing I wanna see.

If that works, those are other types of mutations I want to. Fetuses growing out of your chest/3 breasts/the head of a fly/scales/your arms turning into dicks etc.

That, my newbie bitch, was an astounding triple post.
Wow.
These are really quite rare, even when coming from a SDF like WMA?.

Now, I know this is hard, but if you can fire up about three nurons for just long enough, you will see two on page 1 and one on page 2.
See?

I voted for damge as you can most likely remedy that
What if you mutated into something useless like Harold and can't fight anyone, let alone hold a heavy weapon

perhaps taking an extra-large dosage of rad-away weakens your mutations, then you can get them removed.

And I'd prefer a spiky tentacle ripping out of my face and stabbing someone in the crotch than a minigun.
