Do you think a breathing mask, or rebreather would be necessary for a world like fallout? If so why.

I would think so IF it had a radiation resistance effect added as it would make sense, because the water and air in fallout is irradiated in quite a lot of places. Having something to filter/lessen the chance of getting irradiated should be a much more common thing in fallout.

Absolutely, as Ayy said, water and air would be radioactive just like real life. I think it would look amazing on characters in Fallout 4, I know GTA 5 online added re-breathers as part of their heist update

I mean, I guess. You'll get it as a reward. But I suppose it would but it's not realistic at all.

Not quite sure what you mean by as a reward but I disagree about it not being realistic at all, I do think it would be realistic in fallout seeing how all power armor helmets basically have one implemented in the front and they tend to have some rad resist like the T-45d and T-51b helmet. So having a  breathing mask /rebreather with the added effect would make sense.

I think it would be necessary, yes. But in fallout new vegas it's been over 200 years since the great war so i'm not sure. I would love to see a mod the adds radiation without a breathing mask, like 0.5 or 0.3 radiation per second.

Dunno lung cancer caused by radioation sickness don't sound fun men :/

Thanks people for the responses, I asked because I want to play as realistic as possible but we all know the stock vanilla game for fallout is unrealistic as far as.....lore? (Not sure if that's the proper word). But , while playing dust I thought of how much radiation would one get and would a mask help prevent it. And now I see it is required. @Mr.Flux I would love to see that kind of mod.
