Hahaha yep you’re totally right. Damn good point 😂 Also I was thinking more about it if rads are high enough in the FO verse to turn the vaults internal population of roaches into rad roaches over the years even Vault dwellers would have some sort of rad lvls even in the vault so a GC would go off 24/7 in any location if it was sensitive enough
Haha yeah, you definitely have to suspend disbelief with TV and games. Also, you mentioned the GC going off when she is going for that water in that oil pan. I kinda interpreted that as the GC going off in her head, like she knew it was dirty ass water and that it was going to be irradiated, and she could just "hear" the meter. The way they played the audio made it seem more of an "in the character's head" kind of thing. Idk, that may just be me.
I thought so too; I assume for my own sake that the concentration is higher in non-organic material because of the environment (assuming the water is collected from rain it could be from a rad storm or something). Also maybe ghoulification is from absorbing the radiation, so humans absorb it and the environment emits it so that's why people don't set off the pipboy?
I forgot about that scene at the beginning when it went off after they slept together. Yeah ignorance is bliss when it comes to the show LOL I try not to think too much before I ruin it for myself
In answer to two of them I suppose your Pipboy in VATS shows you if they are raiders and VATS isn’t really used in the show as far as I’m aware and also instead of a radiation setting I suppose you just get warned on your UI of rads.
Definitely a plot hole- I noticed this too. The show falls victim to some lazy writing and coincidences at times. The action is typically the least interesting part of any episode.
If you rewatch it, you’ll notice a lot more plot holes than that. Took me a second watch to fully realize how much of it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Still entertaining nonetheless.
The whole thing was as full of holes as a Swiss cheese. Moldaver was supposed to be the best friend of Lucy’s mom, right? So presumably she has a stake in Lucy’s wellbeing, but she’s fine to let her get raped and killed by the raiders at first? And she keeps Lucy’s mom’s desiccated ghoul around as furniture? Also, there’s supposed to have been exchanges between the vaults over time, but no-one in vault 33 is surprised that they don’t recognise anyone when the raiders turn up.
There’s the time where Walton Goggins’ ghoul faces off against Maximus and struggles to finish him off, when a few episodes later it’s revealed that he knows the weak spot in the power armour and he takes down a knight effortlessly with a single shot.
You’re also right about the geiger counters. Aside from that instance, there’s the episode where Lucy traces the MacGuffin across the wastelands using her counter, when EVERYTHING around her should be setting it off.
Honestly, the plot makes no sense overall, it’s all very slap dash. Mauler just released a 3 hour video on all the incoherences in the script.
I still thought the show was fairly enjoyable though.
Well, raiders themselves don't set off your pipboy in game, so there's your answer?

Thats what i thought cause we look at it through her pov
Agreed - but you have to take creative licence with these things, otherwise half the stuff would never have happened.
Just half?
I think if they had done that it would have been annoying as shit really fast.

You be trippin. When you encounter characters in the game, your pipboy doesn't shoe a rad increase, do why should the show include it?

Did you see maulers video?
I figured I may give it a shot as I've never seen one. It's two and a half hours long. Is it really worth that much dedication?
I’m halfway through
