[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Feb-04-03 AT 05:33PM (GMT)[p]Just another thought that there could be a lot more radiation spread across the wastelands more concentrated here and there so you had to rely on your Geiger counter a lot more (I didn’t really use it at all on FO1 and FO2)

Yes, I would think that's right. Some places should be more radiated than others. The closer you came to a nuclear bomb's crater the more dangerous it could be. Or areas that were hit heavy with nuclear weapons (for instance an ICBM base in Nebraska) would have a higher risk of contamination.

Frankly, I would like to see more use of the various items you get. For the most part, most of the items (except weapons) were used once and then discarded.
 
I found the geiger counter almost useless, I was thinking maybe they could put it on the onscreen sort of like the car icon on the traveling screen. so you could actually see when you entering a hotspot
 
the glow or whatever it was called on FO1 was heavily radiated....but that was only one location.....does anyone know bout fallout bible 10 is out?
 
This is, of course, assuming that radiation will work the way it did in previous games... And assuming there will even be radiation hazard in the next "Fallout" game.
 
Why wouldn’t there be a radiation hazard in fallout 3 I mean there was a NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST let me repeat the word NUCLEAR that means that there will be a whole lot of radiation!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON Feb-20-03 AT 07:10PM (GMT)]Hardly any War-related radiation in "Fallout 2". I'm not sure but I don't think you get any rad counts when crossing 'Valley of Death'. Even in the original "Fallout", there was only one hot spot - 'The Glow'.

As for non-War related radiation, it really has nothing to do with the setting of the game - for example you get rads in broken operating room in "System Shock 2", and it's not because it takes place in space. Moreover, the game doesn't distinguish between ionizing radiation and radioactive contamination, and the Geiger counter only detects your contamination level, so it doesn't really prevent you from getting that nasty isotope dust in your lungs.
 
The original message was to add more Hot Spots to make the game more realistic. It is very possible that the rad count would be significantly lower after the long time period but still places hit hard by the nuclear holocaust would still produce a lot of resulting radiation for many hundreds of years to come.
