  Some items also rot, the rot timer doesn’t stop in the unskippable cutscenes and maybe even continues ticking down while you are not playing.

    With the result being effectively that almost all provisions you looted yesterday are rotten the next day. The exception being salami, which last a few more days, but eating too much of it makes you take damage after going to the bathroom. You also get a stacking debuff.

    The only way to not have to eat the salami will be to log in within 8 hours of picking up some veggies.

    The only canned food in the game will be decorative unlootable assets.

      The stacking debuff of course does have a timer that doesn’t continue running while you are not playing.

        Of course.

    Fun glitch: rot value is unsigned, and once it reaches -1 the item is reborn phoenix-style from the ashes of itself.

    This makes for some interesting mechanics where its worth saving old rusty near-dead items until the end of the game just before a vital boss battle.

      The variable overflows at 512 and the rot value is counted in ds

        It can never overflow though since it’s constantly decaying

    the rot timer is calculated based on when the item is picked up using real world time. if you reload a previous save then most likely all of your things are now rotten

    even continues ticking down while you are not playing.

    Hmm, I kind of like this idea and could see it working alright if used correctly. Reminds me of Animal Crossing, but so much more annoying.

      I got the idea from Ark.

  That, honestly, kept me from enjoying Fallout 3 after being introduced to the series via FO4. I understand that far in the future everything is going to be shitty and broken, but the raiders that just jumped me didn’t seem to have any problem getting hits with their useless broken pipe weapons that I can somehow use to repair 5% of the durability of my shitty pipe weapon.

    Fallout 3 is honestly a pretty shit game. Play Fallout New Vegas, it’s built on Fallout 3’s engine but instead of being designed and written by indentured interns at Bethesda it was made by people who are, you know, game designers. (I would kill for a NV-esque sequel to F04)

      I wouldn’t call it shit, but yean NV is definitely a much better game.

        I’m currently making my way through FO3 and I haven’t even discovered half of all the POI and I’ve been playing for months. NV piques my interest, because the story telling in FO3 is great, weapon durability aside.

        Well that’s a take.

  Ooh! And if you have anything less than 100% durable then the game has a little flashing icon warning you it’s not 100%. Couple that with the repair cost being the same regardless of the percentage missing!

    Repairing permanently makes the item worse and upgrading it more expensive
