asking for a friend

Not got to Fallout yet, but this is kinda endemic in a lot of fiction.

Arya Stark in Game of Thrones springs to mind. That was worse.

MAYBE...WOULD DEPEND ON MANY FACTORS...THIS SHOW IS FANTASTICAL SCIENCE FICTION...SO IT KIND OF DOESN'T MATTER...THEY GOT GHOULS AND MONSTERS RUNNING AROUND.

"MAYBE...WOULD DEPEND ON MANY FACTORS."

Of course you can. Depends on the availability of stimpaks, that is the big syringes they use when hurt.

reply

how do they work on deep stab wounds?

reply

It is a game. Your character's HP is low and you jab it. It is never explained and it is not supposed to be explained. It is not the real world, but future alternate timeline, besides being also a b-movie/pulp sci-fi inspired game. They could put in it any crazy shit they want and they did it with the games. It wouldn't be Fallout without the stimpaks.

Though in the TV show I don't think there was injection of any kind done to her, she closed her wound with a stapler in her bathroom, that was it. She was not in any kind of infirmary, there wasn't alcohol or even band-aid.

reply

Could be, maybe she took it later. I don't remember. The show is cartoonish and these things do not matter much. It is not like in Prometheus, where a woman gave birth to an alien thru a C-section, closed the wound with a stapler and 2 mins later was jumping over crevices and running from a giant rolling alien spaceship. LOL, it sounds like a joke, but it is a real movie that we are supposed to take seriously!

SHE INJECTS THE WOUND IN THE BATHROOM FIVE SECONDS HAVE JACKING THAT DUDE'S FACE UP.

reply

SHE RUNS INTO THE BATHROOM...GRABS THE FIRST AID BOX...AND IMMEDIATELY INJECTS THE WOUND WITH A CRAZY ASS NEEDLE WITH A GAUGE ON IT.

reply

Yeah, you were right, that was long before the stabler, and it was a big ass needle, likely the stimpaks @SickSpazmoid mentioned.

reply

It's in the game

reply

sure. it's a video game movie.
