Forum Overview :: Fallout III :: I love Fallout, but there are a lot of things it could've handled better.

[quote name="Dream Cast"]Radiation is one of them. It wouldn't have been a hard fix: by the time you reach the Glow, you've probably already had the opportunity to acquire a geiger counter. The problem is, the geiger counter has to be actively used, and I don't think there's even a single mildly irradiated area before the Glow, so why would you be obsessively using it? If they'd just made the geiger counter function passively, so as long as you had one in your inventory you'd be warned about any rad hazard, I think that would be fair enough. (Better than the Fallout 3 system, where radiation is just a minor annoyance, instead of the terrifying invisible killer it is in real life.)[/quote]
