You deserve what you get you commie infiltrator.

AH, ZERE IT ITS. NOW LETS FIND ZIS INSTITUTE, I AM SURE MY FREUND MENGELE WILL HAVE IMPORTANT KNOWLEDGE TO SHARE

Gold is only valued because it's shiny and someone a long time ago decided it was valuable. It's also not very light. I mean yes it's useful if you know how to melt it down and perfectly implement it into electronics, but to most people it's just something that's worth an exchange into a currency they use.

fallout is a joke in terms of realism

you know that right

it might as well be a fantasy game like skyrim

Bottle caps are backed by water and are accepted as a currency nation-wide due to trade routes. The problem with gold is that it's TOO rare. Representative currencies are still perfectly capable of working as long as people agree on one. As for the number of caps, you'd have a hell of a lot easier time carrying 25k caps than the same amount of gold and currency not encumbering the player is a feature in 99.9999% of games.

You need a nazi skin for your power armor and like an MG-42 or FG-42 for using as a heavy weapon.

I'm sure there's a mod that adds bolt action mausers for using as a sniper.

Make sure to give all your companions uniforms and proper weapons too.
