I THOUGHT this would be a good idea, but I guess not. I don't see what's so... hard... or annoying about just clicking a toilet.

*Gabriel is out in the wasteland*
*A pop-up comes up*
*"You really need to take a [censored]"*
*Gabriel refuses to use fast-travel and instead tries searching for a toilet*
*After 10 minutes a new pop-up comes up*
*"You just crapped his pants"*

Crapping myself in a video game =/= fun.

Why would someone pose this as a serious question and suggestion? It doesn't make sense

I think this concept would be OK for a mod, but I don't think it would work for the base game.

ALTHOUGH this is basically a different company, I think in NV when you buy your own house (which I don't doubt that you can) you should be given ways to upgrade it like in Oblivion. When you bought the Skingrad house, it was useless, with no tables or boxes or anything, no beds and stands. You bought these papers pretty much across the street, and they automatically were placed in your house. Spend 25k on a house, then 25k upgrading it. In Fallout 3 you had a simple house that you could ONLY change the theme (which was basically useless) and add about five items like the Nuka Cola machine, or the Chemistry lab. I want it in NV where you might have to do a quest to get your house, but it's not mandatory. The thing I would really like would be getting the house with basically NOTHING in it except a bed and a toilet or something. Then, you can upgrade it, maybe giving you a better bed (+health maybe after sleeping a couple of hours?) and a better sink giving you less thirst. You would basically buy stands, bookcases, and safes as you please. An extreme bonus, though I doubt it will happen, is if you can change the way everything is set up. By that, I mean you can change where a table or chair is placed, or change the position of the bed or something along those lines. We don't need it, though it might be cool.
Renting a bed for the night or the week in a flop house is one thing, but I never looked kindly on the notion of buying a house in Fallout; and never will. It goes entirely against the spirit of the series IMO.

In FO1 the Vault dweller approached his actions with the intention of returning home (like a guy climbing down a manhole after his keys expects to not get comfortable while he's down there walking in sewage). In FO2 it was the same. The Chosen one expected to return to Arroyo a hero. In FO3 the LW should only be concerned with reaching their dad ~not wasting time on a house.
For those that play PC's that dislike the dad or choose to ignore the main point of the game (the MQ), a house should be a real endeavor to obtain, and the only quicksale properties should IMO be sold by someone who thinks they have a gullible nutcase that's willing to pay them actual money for something they could simply just move into anyway (IE. not someplace safe, or that you won't loose your stuff in).


BATHROOM:
Basically added in hardcoe mode. You have to use the toilet every six hours (for balance) or something. If you eat, it increases the amount. Though it may seem TOO hardcoe (I guess?), I'm only thinking of this because of the toilets and how you DRANK OUT OF THEM. When I first played FO:3 I was thinking, "Hmph, maybe I can go to the bathroom?" BUT NO. MY SICK [censored] OF A CHARACTER DRANK DIRTY, IRRADIATED TOILET WATER. WHAT THE HELL? I would have puked IRL.
Some of the Build Engine games allowed this, and had reasons for it built in; it was funny, and beneficial ~then it became a corny cliche. In Fallout (any) I think it adds nothing of note, and would further complicate the game with a useless feature. *If they did this, though (which they wont), I'd want it to copy Postal 2 and work generally the same way.

Next up in fallout 4, clipping nails and shaving both upstairs and downstairs.
For female characters there's also a make-up minigame.
<_<
Pre-order the special edition and you get a "wipe your ass" minigame after taking a dump as well.

Basically no to the toilet idea.
No forever.

I rolf'd in my rolfcoptor.

Having to use the toilet or pee yourself and lose charisma points would be dull. Imagine having not relieved yourself before the final climactic battle say, as with Take It Back or something. Lyon's Pride running guns blazing, Liberty Prime spouting his anti-Commie gems and laying waste to the Enclave, and the Lone Wanderer... taking a leak missing it all, for fear of pissing in his Power Armour. :sadvaultboy:

an accident :( Maybe you lose sme of your stats for a short time.


Right, and your character starts crying and you can make him mop the floor?

Having to go to the bathroom in the game or you get penalties, in a game? No thanks!
I can already picture my character, finding a very cool, but heavy, rocket launcher only to be encumbered seconds after taking it because he has to pee. :P

Upgrading the house with new things is nice, but being forced to go to the bathroom is way too much. Then we'll have to shower, brush our teeths, visit the doctor every now and then to make sure we didn't catch an STD, and eating too much may clog your toilet, which then requires you to unclog it via a cool, interactive mini-game (Only for the Wii though). Plungers will have their uses at last!

I don't get why everyone keeps on using this when I dismissed the "claim" awhile back. One addition to the game to add a touch of realism in hardcoe. It's not going to randomly pop up at you seconds before you actually have to go, you could easily keep track of it via pipboy.

This.

There would be meter to track your bladder.

But you would only have to pee lets say once every 2 days.

It's going for realism and things that affect the game world.

You need to eat, but food is often irradiated so there is a thought process.

You need to drink, but water is often irradiated so there is a thought process.

Weight has ammo, etc.




Going to the bathroom would not make any sense, considering that it wouldnt be effected at all by the world they live in.

And ammo has weight. :laugh:

If they add peeing to NV I'm with Gizmo, I wanna be able to pee on people Postal style. Especially the water beggars. :hubbahubba:

If Vegas has Cherry Bombs again I would like to flush them :evil: I would like to be able to make my own Yellow Nuka-Cola.

Other then that I don't think it's important to add going to the bathroom to the game.

Agreed we should get a sickness and other microorganisms like E. Coli bacteria of sorts if we don't clean oyur drinking water. (ok not really, little to hardcoe)

But yes more customization with houses is always great. I also want cages (for animals and humans/mutants)
