The pip-boy 3 billion? That should be cool only if its not blinged with gold and jewels. Or else I'll just stick with the trusty old pip-boy model I start with;P

Nothing better than roaming the Mojave wasteland with a blinged out Pip-boy.

2 bullets to the brain. Left to die on the desert. Buried.
One hell of a coma, huh? I would be dead! Heh, The Courier's luck must be set to 10 by default. :laugh:

The bullet would cause severe bleeding and you would be dead in minutes. And even if Victor appeared 10 seconds later the time he took to dig you (considering he was at the speed of the Teaser for FNV) and the time to take you to Mitchell in Goodsprings...

Mitchell is a damn necromancer!




People have survived worse, i read somewhere he shot you with a bb gun, i know a guy who somehow managed to put a .357 bullet in a bb gun and it blew up a inch from his face. i think he took some shratnel in the head and hes fine. :celebration:


but if i see a bunch of black soul gems in mitchells house i might start wondering.... :obliviongate:

I recall an article about a WW2 vet, who got bored and shot himself in the head with his pistol, AND THEN WENT TO MAKE BREAKFAST.
IIRC it was on cracked.

Shame Obsidian didn't go with the Van Buren http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070503150034/fallout/images/thumb/5/59/Pipboy3000_2.jpeg/795px-Pipboy3000_2.jpeg design. I'm very curious what additional functionality the 3-Billion will have, or if it will be purely cosmetic.

I really hob the Pip-Boy 3 Billion isn't just dazzled up, I want it to do something special. I don't know about you all, but if I was in a basically lawless world, and I saw someone with a solid gold Pip-Boy, I'd definitely try my best to take it.

Even if they were wearing power armor and carrying what appeared to be a prewar plasma rifle? :P

Those are just lies told to the residents of 101 to keep them afraid.... The Pip-boy can be removed by anybody with the right tool. The sensors are a whole nother issue, of course, but you could likely expect that they simply aren't as sensitive as they were 200 years ago. They are still capable of picking up your heart rate and the such (consequently capable of telling you your HP and other stats) but that they are no longer capable of differentiating one user from another, beyond that.


If the Doc knows how to remove and re-install a Pip Boy, it's reasonable to assume he also knows how to reset the sensors so it can be calibrated to a new user. Maintaining a Pip Boy is not a Vault Doctor's job, but thier job...and that of the Pip Boy Technicians...would be made easier if they were trained on certain basic functions that overlap thier duties. Anything beyond removing it from a patient, putting it back on the patient and running checks to make sure it is working properly would normally be referred to Maintenance....but I don't see how someone trained to install a Pip Boy and make sure it is reading the wearer's vital signs properly would not have been trained to reset it or not have access to a service manual that explains how to do it. Even if such limited cross-training was not Vault-Tec doctrine....the Pip Boy Techs would learn they could save a considerable amount of time and effort by training the Doc unofficially. It's not like he is a threat to usurp thier jobs, after all.

I'm more inclined to believe this theory than any of the others... I know for one, I'll be killing Mitchell as soon as I can. I have a lot of other killing to accomplish in the wastes and I don't want the victims friends and family dragging the corpses over to a doctor that has the ability to ressurect the dead.

Didn't we learn how well that worked out in operation anchorage with the garry in that locked room? sorry if this is a spoiler, it's not though
