spoiler

...you mean the girl (at the beginning of the episode, shown to be an A+ in all "stats") that took on a man post coitus and still was thrown around the room and only survived thanks to the blender?

Seemed pretty realistic, and Fallout to me.

Yeah I don't know the fallout backstory at all, but A+ doesn't change things like physics.

The only backstory you need is right after the prelude, it showed that she was really good at judo.

A woman beating the shit out of a man does not defy physics.

I removed the smiley since I didn't intend it to be condescending. But I'm 100% certain that guy would knock that girl out in a second. It wasn't just "a man", it was a fit fighter man with tons of muscles.

But like I said, if it's a game, there is no real physics so anything is possible.

Being strong doesn't make you a capable fighter.

Knocking someone out is not as easy as it may seem, it takes skill, more than strength.

One in eight men think they could score a point against Serena Williams

Who do you think would win between an Olympic level male swimmer, or an amateur level female UFC fighter?

There is an anecdote about a judo teacher from where I live: he also liked his motorbike, so one day he was joining the highway, when some car rear-ended him at twice the speed, crushing the bike into the barrier. Driver was all panicky, then weirded out when the guy showed up to check if everyone was all right. Turns out he instinctively jumped out of the bike, did a somersault over the car, and landed rolling, then got up and ran to check on the driver.

No game physics needed.

So yeah, go ahead and be "100% certain". I've seen actual martial arts masters IRL, and you wouldn't believe how quick a fight can end with a thug biting the dust, or a lamppost. Technique beats muscles any day.

If anything, that fight on the show was slowed down and drawn out for "dramatic effect".

It's an RPG, of course it does! Particularly if you decide to give your character the 'Bloody Mess' perk, which causes every enemy to violently and horrifically explode in a shower of miscellaneous chunks.

Well I guess, if the TV show is supposed to be like a game, then at least I understand why she is overpowered.

What a journey that was for you to discover the obvious

@1984 in Bethesda games it does 😜 No seriously, their engine is known for most hilarious ragdoll moments.
