Exactly. Something of a challenge, even though post-apocalyptic survival is enough of that to begin with. Something for hardcore motherfuckers, even though there'd be little to nothing of real value to loot. Something for the sake of iron-balls exploration or just getting rid of raider pests rather than finding treasure troves.

That's great sentimentality until some biker guy breaks your legs with an iron pipe.

I'd rather just survive and maintain a relatively normal existence. That's challenging enough when the world's gone to hell.

I don't know what we are talking about, but I am moving out of NY. Shouldn't have moved here in the first place!

But sometimes, it's just great to lay back and take it as seriously as the Fallout series. In which case there is seriousness if that's wanted, but those who want to just take it all casually could. Not one-liner idiocy, but just laying back and enjoying what would otherwise be an awful way to live in reality.

Of course, nobody is unbreakable. I don't see any point in writing any characters if they're not going to face any hardships.
