9 Dumb Coincidences In Video Games You Just Ignored

7. The Courier Surviving - Fallout: New Vegas

The number of coincidental occurrences that have to happen for the events of Fallout: New Vegas to even occur, is astronomical.

First, Benny must be enough of a terrible shot to not damage any vital organs, but still skilled enough to be convinced you’re dead. Second, Victor must be nearby enough to dig you up before you die of blood loss. Third and finally, there must be a capable brain surgeon nearby in the post-apocalyptic wasteland to save you.

Put like that, it sounds damn near impossible - and should've been - but it still happened. Obviously the game just runs with it, despite the chances of these events happening naturally - or even contextually - can’t be explained away by coincidence.

I can buy that someone happens to be nearby enough to dig you up, but for there to also be a brain-surgeon in the nearby village is unbelievable.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
