Found a cool FO3 throwback (maybe spoilers?)

I found this scavenger-raft type thing on Lake Mead, and on it, I found a book titled "Wasteland Survival Guide" that increased survival. I laughed a little, because back in FO3, you have to help the shopkeeper (forget her name, think starts with an "M"?) by doing quests to make her book, the "Wasteland Survival Guide".

Moria Brown is her name. And I chuckled a little too when I first saw it.

It is the most common Skill book I have found. It sucks because it's my least favorite stat.

Why? When you're playing HC, it's really valuable. It allows you to heal more, and recover more H20 or FOD stats from food/drink, allows you to make poison (don't know how to apply it or do anything with it, but I see options for it, I'm going to make it sometime and try it out), and allows you to cook alot more kinds of food. Like I said, I had problems running out of food and water; that's why I felt as if HC was more a hassle than a challenge, so I beat the game, switched it back, but don't use stimpaks (I use food).

I beat hardcore with less than 25 survival

I still find it useful though; it's nice to be able to heal easily from food than have to use Stimpaks, and you don't have to carry as much with you. It's more to make the game less of a hassle than anything.

Yeah I haven't leveled my Survival skill at all yet. I am still at like 32 with it.
