Things we learned from Fallout 3

[NMLevesque]

Did anyone mention that it's impossible to overdose on anything?

 

[NMLevesque]

It gets kind of amazing how much people have read into things in the classics, especially given how reductionist their views are about Fo3 content. Less replay value, simpler characters? More people have put in more hours replaying 3 than 1 and 2 combined. I've seen the *sparkling* conversations you can have, but apparently nothing can stand up to nostalgia.

You can't OD in Fallout1-2 either... ;\

Technically, the only item in Fallout you can die from consumption, is Aqua Pura, if it has the FEV in it.

That and any consumable that has radiation (although, only in extreme cases of prior radiation exposure)

That's not so much ODing, its dying from the radiation. ;D

You can't overdose on water now can you?

You can't overdose on water now can you?

You actually can...

Don't drink water you will die XD


What about the tainted meat/food from NV from the ultra Luxue ?

Too much water will kill you just as badly as too little. XD

Tainted food...Never found those items! D;

 

[lolpop109]

I thought the food was poised when there was a feast at the ultra luxe casion maybe.

I still wouldn't call it overdosing, overdosing is what happens when you take too many of one drug, water is not a drug.

Well, if we want to be stupid...

Drug=a medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body.

Water has an effect.

Then again.

So does air.

;S

Aqua Pura kills you in FO3 if you infected it with the altered FEV, so since that water contains altered FEV you essentially overdose on the FEV (which now is part of the water).

FEV isn't a drug though, its a virus.

That particular strain apparently just kills mutated people and stuff from the inside out.

Before the war the human scientists made a drug called FEV.

Couldn't resist.

Damn you, I had to check his dialogue file on the wiki to check if that was real or not!
