It would add more of a survival element to the game seeing as the rain would be irradiated so you would have to take shelter from it. What do you think?
Should it rain in Fallout 3

Nah. Rad-away is common as muck, it wouldn't make any difference. Go search fallout 3 nexus.com if you've got your heart set on weather effects.blackfrancis567 said:

Would completely screw you over if there was no shelter nearby.
I got the same idea once, then came upon the same reason it would be bad to be forced into the game, just mod it in like Nimbus said.

For the console crowd I'm one the many people who got it for PC and it didn't work so I had to resort to 360Danny Ocean said:
It took me quite a few hours to realize it didn't rain in Capital Wasteland.
Then I though that a wasted world like that was so messed up that the clouds were just dust, not real clouds, and I suddendly felt sad for such a horrible world and playing became a stronger experience.
Now that I'm reading this threat, I'm glad I though that instead of "Oh, come on, it should rain! Come on, lazy game developers!". I can only LOL at this.

First off, after however many hundreds of years, the rain wouldn't still be irradiated. If we were going realistic.
But, if we're going by Fallout 3's flawed but awesomely fun logic, then I'd say "hell yeah" as long as they made sure that if you were under some cover (like one of those makeshift shelters you can find) it didn't effect you. It'd be fun. Add to the "survivalist" aspect of things.

i just dont want it to be like in oblivion where you become a vampire and the sun comes out and boom! Instant screwdification because thees no goddamn shelter around
If it's going to be rain it'd have to be irradiated and probably acidic, because wow radiation, RAD-X and Rad away time but make it acidic and they'll need to use up Stimpaks or other snacks throughout the wastes.
Nah, irradiated rain would brake the game up too much and slow it down. Would make traveling long distance (not using fast travel) extremely unpractical. Its a ncie idea but I just don't think it would be a positive addition to the game... Unless it only rained in certain areas to make those areas more difficult, then it could be good.blackfrancis567 said:
From a realistic viewpoint:
1. The water cycle would filter out most of the radiation as when the water becomes water vapour and rises up to form clouds it would separate from the irradiated particles. The only radiation in it would be whatever it collected from the air on the way back down, meaning that some areas would have irradiated rain and some wouldn't.
2. Since producing non-irradiated water is an integral part of the storyline that would pretty much be a moot point if it just rained clean water in some places (Oasis for example).

I don't think the rain would be radioactive. It would be right after the nukes drop because of the radioactive material cast up into the atmosphere. That stuff forms into clouds which condense and fall to the ground as rain. But over time all that material settles and collects on the ground, probably washing into underground streams and poisoning the land for many years (why it's so hard to find drinkable water in the wasteland).
The water evaporating back up wouldn't take the radioactive material with it. It would probably be the best way to collect drinkable water, if not the only way.
I don't think it'd even be that acidic since it's been hundreds of years since large scale industrialism.
