This way, you can eat a whole bunch of items at once and heal more quickly than you are being damaged.Īmmo has weight. Different healing sources stack, so it can be useful to carry several different kinds of healing, like healing powder, bitter drink, sunset sasparilla, and so on. This makes skills like Medicine and Survival more important, as they allow you to heal more quickly. You will need to notice when you are being damaged and start healing then, as once you are critically injured it is too late. This also makes Adamantium Skeleton much more useful. This makes doctor's bags significantly more important, which matters because they have weight, unlike stimpacks. You need to use Doctor's Bags, actual doctors, Hydra, or sleep in an owned bed.
You cannot heal your limbs with stimpacks. I really miss the mode when I'm playing Fallout 3.
