How did the Courier survive two pistol bullets to the head?

Just a suggestion, but I really think you should try not "winking" (or many other emotes) at the reader when you finish saying something. I just feel like it just comes off as a smug and douchey.
 
Kind of naive to think those people actually died instantly before beign thrown into the mass graves. Some of them probably beld to death for hours. Happy toughts.

Yeah I've got no idea why they felt it was necessary to make it TWO bullets. One is stretching it, to be honest.

Quick fan theory: In Fallout 2 the Enclave president said that due to radiation and FEV basically every human in the western wasteland is at least slightly mutated in some way. Hence the mass destruction: if a new, superior human race arises, the old one will be killed off. The Courier has such a mutation: extra-strong bones. This makes the skull hard to penetrate, and also accounts for how hard it is to kill even a level 1 Courier with minimal Endurance compared to any other person in the game.

You people have a weird tendency to underestimate real world things and exagerate game aspects just for the sake of keeping this non criticism.
 
Also known as.... well, okay, I don't think there's a specific term for it, but it's a general stigma towards "criticism", viewing it as a bad thing and therefor shunning it. Naturally, those occupying this mindset will do everything in their power to "not be critical". It's a phenomenon similar in principle with large "tolerance" movements and political correctness in general. Fact of the matter is, nothing wrong with being critical. Pointing out mistakes is how you learn and improve and not make mistakes in the future, and those mistakes being pointed out was "being critical". It's a good thing. Criticizing a game is an act of love, in a way, because you're helping it to improve and be better, not because you spite it.

Anyway, I could go on, but yeah. People do some crazy mental gymnastics to try and avoid a tiny degree of criticism.
