    Is there a logical end to medical science in fallout?

    Posted: 02 Dec 2019 09:24 AM PST

    I am well aware that fallout is game, and that suspending disbelief is required since very little in the game is actually realistic. I'm asking for anything about written in the lore.

    In New Vegas, the courier is shot though his head with a 9mm around and is able to function almost as if nothing at all happened. No brain damage, no rehab, not even a mention of issues until you hit the Big MT DLC. He's cured by a doctor, after he is found almost bleeding out in the desert with no sign of any type of brain surgery equipment or even anything that can be used for blood transfusions.

    Stimpacks seem to heal pretty much any wound, and radaway cures rad damage and even mutations.

    Is there ANY illness that cannot be cured in fallout; aside from the scorched plague in fallout 76?

    Bottle cap usage in Fallout 4

    Posted: 02 Dec 2019 03:03 PM PST

    So in the Canon its estaished that caps work as a currency and a medium of exchange because it represents 1 unit of water. But in Fallout 4 everyone had access to water purifiers and its not hard to create water. So would caps become devalued or is the reasoning in Fallout 4 different.

    Showerthoughts on shape of bottle caps

    Posted: 02 Dec 2019 07:03 PM PST

    Bottle caps are made of thin metal that are easily deformed/flattened/folded from weight and pressure, with paints that would eventually fade or scratched. Over times, there are more deformed caps of different shapes than mint caps.

    At what stage is a cap considered money or scrap metal? If someone brings you a fresh cap, would vendor recognise it as a cap if they have for years only seen deformed caps? Would a mint cap worth more? How do vendor preserve the shape of caps if there is a risk of devalue your own stockpile of caps by accident?

    Is there an actual reason why computer technology is stuck in the 1960s?

    Posted: 02 Dec 2019 10:46 AM PST

    I am aware that fallout has a Retro 1950's theme.

    Is there an actual lore reason why all the computers in every fallout are less powerful than machines that came out in the 1980s in the real world? Fallout has advancements in engineering and AI that we have yet to see still; and yet they clearly do most of the design work by hand.

    Is there an actual modern computer ANYWHERE? In the fallout universe? And by that, I mean a current year model in the year that fallout takes place.

    Every single terminals I've seen in any fallout media only has basic access to email, messageboards, is monocromatic, and can't even share files without using A-track types (holodisks). I get that there's not much of a need for "new" computers in the real world, but why did computer science never advance?

    What is the scale of Project Purity?

    Posted: 02 Dec 2019 10:40 AM PST

    So, it's said to bring clean water to the entire wasteland, and we see it's effects to an extent in Broken Steel, but what is the actual scale of it?

    It it just the capital wasteland? Or will it slowly start purifying water from farther and farther? (IE: The rest of the Chesapeake water table area)
