You make an interesting point, but there are several use cases to consider:
How is a naked guy going to get his stuff back? With no protection it will be nearly insta death in radiation. So unless you have a seriously stocked up pile of rad meds or spare rad suit/ rad modded armor you will never make it back to get your things.

What makes you think you can get your gear back?

A naked guy will have no chance, no matter how hard he tries.

Your assuming +200 gs is going to drop amazing loot. It drops a lot of brown, just a higher chance for better.

Don't forget losing XP each time you die, well you did and it does cap at "buried into the red" I think.

Time wasted, that horde is coming?

Maybe rad zones rot your bed roll pretty fast, so don't forget travel times. Beds might have cool down like RUST if we allow multiple beds and unclaimed bedrolls in the will decay, only claimed beds might persist.

To me I don't see any issues with it. There will be mild radiation in the entire wasteland, and heavy radiation in POIs. A naked won't have a chance.

I'm assuming that the hazmat suit will be non-craftable and non-repairable? (Aka Only found in loot/off the trader?) Logically it would make sense, I'm just making sure.

EDIT : I just noticed the date ... Let's say it's a prophetic picture.

Man...I want to play skyrim again, what mods do you recommend?
Click to expand...
Immersive Citizens has a ton of unique voice acted npcs at inns and random locations. Very cool mod I just found, not sure how this slipped under the radar for all these years.

Frostfall for cold weather survival.

Realistic needs and diseases so you have to eat and drink

AFT for follower framework

Loads of armor mods

AI overhaul

Realstic dialogue and cutting room floor

Combat Evolved

SKYUI

Better Vampires

Unleveled items

Bard mods that add better songs to taverns

Loads of armor mods.

There are way too many to list and lunch time is over, but its day and night when you get the right mod list in there. I keep my game as vanilla or lore friendly as I can, but still ended up with a boatload of mods but its good to turn off ones you don't need because too many mods can break your game. I always add one mod at a time so if things go sideways you at least know what the bad mod is.

 
No, we'll make Radiation resistance mods that go into your armor. The suit will have low armor and highest protection so there is risk/reward. A poi deep in the wasteland might require wearing hazmat suit to get there, then switching to armor when you get ready to go in.

Are you doing iodine tablets or some sort of other chemical "fix" to rad sickness as well?

Will rad sickness induce dysentery and puking?

I used to have some of these, like frostfall, realistic needs and diseases, SkyUI, but I will take a look at the other ones. Thanks man, sorry I took time of your lunch!

Edit: I'd better start installing mods now.

Well we can have a look, but everyone hates UMA because its difficult to work with and creates this horrible unoptimized skin that can't stream. Textures needed flagged not as a normal map even though its a normal map, etc. The list of bs was huge. We cleaned it up and made it better to work with, but who knows what a can of worms it would be to try the new one. We're more keen on writing our own system that is more like Fallout4's character system. Doesn't waste texture space, doesn't build atlases at run time and cause lag, etc.

You're a little little late in the news @The Gronk, UMA 2.9 is already out :p

 
Stealth guy has exploding arrows/arrows, he doesn't need to throw knives too.

So i'm guessing zombies won't know your location by the arrow explosion? Bow is silent...

Well they wouldn't, and shouldn't, hear where it came from, if that's your worry. But I do imagine where it hits would make a noise, which is acceptable, and could, should, even be useful.

You just craft yourself a suit with used food cans which make you impervious to all radiation.

lol but the real thing would probably be crafted with Lead , Military fiber and Leather

and you would probably have to make lead plates , and anti Rad drugs

Nice question, radiation itself could set up the possibility for more buffs and debuffs and items ! :-) I hope that is planned for 7D2D.

maybe you can find these glowing mushrooms that with the pharmacist perk you can make into anti radiation drugs (and you can grow them)

and in the wasteland kinda like how it can snow in the snow biome there could be rain and radioactive storms that can get you sick

Exploding arrows seem counter-intuitive to a stealth build. :)

Maybe it could provide a distraction if Zombies flocked to the point of the explosion instead of the soft }thwang{ sound of the bow string.

 
Snowdog: Who wins Leon Edwards vs Usman if they put that together?
Click to expand...
I think Edwards needs to prove he is more capable than decisioning over the hill gatekeepers to be honest. I’d have to choose Usman.

RDA is a shell of his roided self, Cerrone chokes, and Gunnar is ehhh

 
Useless. Ark had those heat storms and all it does is put the player out of the game. Oh gee this is fun sitting in my survival tent and watching the timer. But its survival its realistic. If I wanted realistic I'd go dig ditches in the hot sun and sweat my ass off.

We can use ramdom foggy o dusty storms to archive sneaky missions.

Rads storms can bring with It powerfull radiated ferals. Is good to have thing to fear out there... even for experienced and late game players.

Something like this is inmersive and do not interfere with the game
