Fallout 3: Post Nuclear Blog put up two articles, a write-up by Morbus of megascore.biz on the Fallout franchise and game industry, and an article featuring Bartoneus of Critical Hits, which is a combination of the questions NMA asked and new questions asked by Briosafreak:<blockquote>Did anyone get specifics on the conditions? (broken legs, dehydration, radiation) More specifically, how the nuke catapult/launcher will impact your rad count?
No idea about broken legs/limbs with regards to the player, as to the enemies when a successful or critical shot hit the mutant’s leg it looked like it was injured/blown off and the mutant fell to the ground. With Radiation and Dehydration it was stated that the player will need to find sources of water, but no idea of time intervals or what necessitates your need for water. It was shown that when drinking water on the open ground a small amount of Radiation was gained, and that when water in an underground Metro toilet was used it had less radiation because it’s further underground/safer (but it’s also gross and brown). The mini-nuke weapon’s rounds left a small amount of lingering radiation and if fired at a target too close (as Todd did) you would gain Rad immediately.</blockquote>Link: Fallout 3 APNB - Bartoneus on Fallout 3
