Except the very instant Lucy turns her PipBoy on it starts clicking, without her having to switch to geiger counter mode. Also, it literally can't be turned off in any of the games, but that's neither here nor there

    Easy headcanons:

    1. Everyone muted their notifications to focus on the big party, and they only turned back on when the pipboy itself was switched back on

    2. Moldaver had some method of masking radiation signatures long enough until it was time to attack. Given

      Episode 8 spoilersshe's a pre-war scientist who also leads an NCR spminter faction with all the infrastructure needed for cold fusion,
      that's not a crazy stretch.

    There's also the fact that exposure to radiation doesn't make human beings radioactive but that's excusable in the same was as FEV making zero scientific sense

    If somebody got covered in radioactive dust and never bathed (which is on-brand for Bethesda Fallout characters who still have skeletons in their living rooms 200 years later) it would set it off.

    not even headcanon, it's stated in the show that the vault suits are supposed to block radiation, no? that doesn't pan out in all the games stats iirc but it would in the show, until the dude gets naked it'd be contained by the suit

    Iirc that line is a question from Cooper that never gets answered, although it is backed by FO4 stats. Only issue is that they'd still be giving off rads from their uncovered heads
