Maybe they would. But if the shock\heatwave wouldn’t get you (it’s hard to judge the distance from those mushrooms), the fallout surely would.
So what’s the point ?
Fallout universes nukes are surprisingly low yield…the largest bombs had a “killzone” of just a few yards (which is why the Chinese peppered the country with millions of them). Also they have Rad-Away and Rad-X…magical future-tech medicine that can remove radiation poisoning instantly or prevent it altogether.
Yes they have, but even they can’t prevent 100%, cure fatal dose – vide a trip to Vault 87, it’s chamber with that piece of plot required technology, etc., etc.
And colonel Autumn you might mention, survived only because of “super secret and experimental plot” medicine, not Radwhatever.
@#makecasemdsgreatagain Weird-ass parallel universe nukes…the things pump out rads like nobody’s business…but destructive power? pfft. “The Glow” was bombarded with direct hits from the entire payload of one of China’s nuclear submarines… … …only punched a hole in the roof and knocked out a roughly 30ft diameter sphere inside. Desks and right on the edge of the damage didn’t even budge. But you need to eat rad-x like tic-tacs just to walk in there.
@notspamming but they can wash away 99%…and Autumn likely did have rad-x on him and was taking it constantly…Enclave makes a real big deal about radiation and mutation. (Even though they did have a super-mutant on staff…they called him a “experiment” and “enhanced soldier” to save face) That’s why all of their armors have superior radiation resistance to even the basic haz-mat suits.

99% of deadly is still deadly. Don’t believe me, “take” that trip I’ve mentioned earlier.
[b]2.[/b] You can use search engine of your choice, to find out what did Autumn use if you don’t believe me.
Maybe you’ll even find the memo Enclave “health department” send him afterward.
I did, forgot to get the super mutie companion…so I just burned through 20 bags of rad-away.
And unless you have the Australian version…during the Waters of Life end scene you see him inject himself with what is assumed to be… … …Radaway…Yeah, I looked it up…and that is the consensus. Besides…that’s exactly what happens to you after you go in there yourself…people drag you out, dose you up with some radaway and then ask you to go blow up a space shuttle launch crawler the Enclave turned into a land-gunship.

At that point (in space, and time) it wouldn’t help you.
wouldn’t they only let card holding members in at that moment in time and space though?

TIL, thanks, I’ve never actually played any of them, but for some stupid reason I have them all on gog/steam.
the fuck kind of nukes are those?
wouldn’t conventional bombs be better and cost less?

You’re either trolling, or can’t\don’t want to understand. Either way, I’m done.
