And our preservation techniques involve freeze drying, vacuum sealing, or using preservatives. The food you find in the wastes isn't food prepared by some company marketing it as emergency provisions. This is food you'll find that's supposed to be kept in the busted out freezers you'll find in every convienience store. It wouldn't make sense to riddle food with extra materials to drive up food prices in a time where Earth's resources were dwindling.

I think I've proven my ulterior point of you not thinking things through, as evidenced by other posts I've seen you make in other threads. It was fun for me even if you weren't a challenge. Shame I had to make accusations about you, but it wouldn't have come to that if you could deliver any other arguements besied "it's a game". Screw it I'm not going back to respell 'beside', going to bed.

Congratulations! Good job. You've won a free ticket to the kindergarden. BTT: When I started a Fallout 3 Pen&Paper campaign, I had to change a few things about the food - e.g. adding farms and such - because it didn't make sense to me at all, either. However, it didn't annoy me that much ingame cause I get used to that kind of stuff a bit (I'm already annoyed by unlogically large inventory space, so unlogically long-living food doesn't add much). I played (and completed) F2, btw, and I prefer F3 over it gameplay-wise. I don't like the turn-based combat of F2 at all and will probably never complete it again.

The dlc for New Vegas was horrible, short and annoying. Going to make a review on my blog, one good thing about it is that it puts the BAR(though its mangled as fuck and there are no mods for it that I can tell) in the game and doesn't seem to have many glitches. Though now Ede is dead because he attacked me, very pissed about this. But one good thing is that the dlc works on all my accounts on my 360.
Fine whatever, I'm tired of arguing with you. Your not right but whatever. Its a game, stop trying to put logic into it. Fallout 3>New Vegas
He's not wrong.
It's his opinion. An opinion is subjective and therefore cannot be wrong - as it's not wrong to the person who has that opinion.
You can disagree with it. You can debate it. You can have an opinion of your own. But you can't call another opinion 'wrong'.
I'm actually with Feere on this. You spout a LOT of crap on threads, think you're some amazing dude with all the answers and generally come across as a spoilt brat.

Unfortunately, I'm a PC gamer when it comes to the Fallout games (though I own a 360 and my shiny new PS3 which I love at the moment) and we haven't received any word that we're getting any of the DLC yet. Bad times.
And the East Coast is beyond backwards. 200 years and only ONE PERSON gets the idea to purify water?! People have been doing that back east with nothing more than a pressure cooker. And DC has its collection of eccentrics and educated people. The self proclaimed greatest scientist in the wastes, Pinkerton of Rivet City, makes fun of Dr. Li in conversation due to her inability to purify water.
I don't really want to get into this argument of which is better (I liked them both) but I think that water purifying on a small scale was already widely established in Fallout 3, it was only them trying to 'clean' the river which was a big deal. After all, once you got the house it came with a robot who could purify water for you, and presumably other places had them too as you would sometimes find purified water around the place.

Your dad mentions how most people can't find water, the people of Rivet City mention how someone went crazy from drinking too much river water and that they all might go crazy from it, since they didn't have any water purification. If you get the house in Megaton, there's a conversation that mentions that citizens of Megaton (the people who own houses) get free water, but everyone else has to buy it (those that live in the common house). The diner owner in Canterbury Commons gives you a free bottle of dirty water when you walk up, and if you complain about it he says the water purifier has spent 200 years on back order. Then you have the water beggars who can only drink purified water.
Then of course in the Broken Steel DLC when water caravans start cropping up, they get wiped out regularly. There's also a random encounter where you stumble on 4 people having a stand off on a fridge full of pure water. The only places in the Capital Wasteland that have any form of water filtration are Megaton and Tenpenny Tower.
Even if I'm wrong (law of conservation of energy says I'm not) you'll just straight %#@#ing die from eating pork and beans that are well over 200 years past the expiration date. Even if Pre War America had some kind of super additives that could preserve food for centuries, those would sooner rot out your digestive system than the explosive diarrhea you'd get from eating something that's 200 years old.
