Forum:Swimming

If you really do live in a vault for all of your childhood, how do you learn to swim so quickly? Do they have swimming pools in the vaults?

If we start taking things in video games to seriously and start to question it's it's flaws on reality then we would just end up with an endless list of stupid things to take notice to. Would you rather have it that you drown everytime you walk into the water? That was really annoying in GTAIII. 81.234.140.17 15:01, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah haha. I just thought it was an amusing observation.True about GTA III though :P Binary-Fishing 20:32, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Here is another thing, all toilets are disgusting, what's more disgusting is that there ain't no toilet paper anywhere, everyone has shitty panties. 81.234.140.17 13:19, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

I'll have you know that I prefer to use my hand. Its a great conversation starter. 69.122.164.148 14:46, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I bet it is. Here are a bunch of weird things:


 * How can sinks and toilets still be functional after 200 years? First, the hydraulics should be rusted away by now, and second, where is the power that makes them dispense water coming from?


 * The landmines should not be working at all. All explosive matter used to make the device explode (such as gunpowder or C-4) should have been broken down to an inferior degree, making the explosive unable to detonate, this is the same with bullets.


 * The radioactive materials in the Mini Nuke should have decayed by now, making the Fat Man nothing more than an oversized peashooter.


 * All characters have splendid dental health, even though no one brushes their teeth.


 * All trees should have dissolved into ash piles by the time of Fallout 3.


 * You don't lose health while fighting unarmed. This should, realistically, be the case, as unarmed fighting gives trauma to both skin and knuckles.

There are clean toilets in Tenpenny Tower. No toothbrushes though, or working mirrors. While we're on the subject, why aren't there scattered piles of Yao Gwai, Brahmin, Raider, and Deathclaw crap that temporarily reduce charisma by 8 and attract bloatfly swarms when you walk through them?
 * And given that this game takes place in DC, land of politicians, golf clubs should outnumber baseball bats 10 to 1. Imp of the Perverse 19:08, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

If you believe in evolution, these animals could have evovled to retain most of their excrement as food and water is scarce.

Yeah,and for that matter,why can't you strangle someone with a tie?It's DC:land of ties and fancy hats.Haaaats...(purring)And how is there still all that Nuka-Cola?It's been two hundred years!!While I'm at it,why can't you have sex?No working TVs,no computers,no cards,no car trips...what else are you supposed to do (besides Nova)?

Don't forget that vault where the drugs were released into the air shortly after it sealed and made everyone crazy, yet 200 years later there are still survivors.Cavesloth 13:54, 26 May 2009 (UTC)Cavesloth

And judging by the new self destructive way America acts,you'd think it would have been destroyed entirely by now.And how come you don't meet immigrants?What happened to the other countries? HuangLee 18:10, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

The biggest flaw is going to be in 68 years when there is no Great War IRL. This has already happened to 1984, Escape From New York, and is going to happen in 6 years to Back to the Future II, where there will be no flying cars, no auto-drying clothes, and John Delorian will still be in jail on cocaine possession charges.

Not only are you able to swim, but you swim about as fast as you run, I'm pretty sure. In real life, it's tough to maintain 1 mph while swimming, while you can run ten times as fast. Imp of the Perverse 23:35, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Erm, another thing, when you first venture to Rivet City they have to extend the bridge, and that sort of makes sense so that they can keep raiders and whatnot from crossing it, but after that it just sits there extended, did they ever think of returning the bridge so that the damn intercom on the side would be more of use? 81.234.140.17 06:18, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

While we're at it: Why is there only one baby in the entirety of the year 2277? How come the wasteland is littered with two types of detergent but everyone has dirty clothes? How do they have the technology to build laser turrets with AI capable of telling a ghoul from a normal person but every computer still uses DOS? Why is it that in a world of Gatling Lasers, Mini Nukes & Super Sledges there can be massacres due to radroaches?- Pararaptor 07:00, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

to cavesloth you know crazy people can still have sex right? 68.204.210.165 12:52, 27 May 2009 (UTC)dakota1431

Here's a question? why is half of D.C. blocked due to rubble, even though most buildings are intact, and the ones that are destroyed, there is no rubble to be seen. I really doubt that at some point everyone in the Wastes said "This debris is really annoying lets get it out of the way." And then formed an organized and effective labor force.
