YOU'RE A FOOL STAW HAT, BUT AN HONEST ONE. I SUPPOSE I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO TAKE YOUR SIDE. WHAT KIND OF A MAN ARE YOU, I WONDER. WHAT'S THE COLOR OF YOUR HAIR? THE SHAPE OF YOUR AYES? WHAT DOES YOUR SMILE LOOKS LIKE? WHAT A PITY, I WISH I COULD USE THESE EYES ONE LAST TIME TO SEE THE FACE OF A MAN LIKE YOU. I’M SURE IT'S FILLED TO THE BRIM WITH KINDNESS. 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

Can enemies to lovers ACTUALLY be ENEMIES to lovers?!?!

I don’t want to hear no “I hate them! But I wanna kiss them so bad”

NO, Y/N! YOU HATE THEM, YOU’RE DISGUSTED BY THEM. NO MORE “They make me so mad, but those big strong arms…”

Just a reminder that Bethesda actually thought this was an acceptable way to end a story.

It just struck me this game’s like a decade old now, so for the uninitiated, to the best of my recollection: the final room’s dilemna is to fix a water purifier there’s a chamber with SUPER LETHAL radiation that needs to be entered so someone can input some password on a numberpad to fix it. You can either go in yourself and die or send in the girl who came with you and have her die, and since at launch there was no postgame and the game simply cuts to the an ending cinematic and credits after this decision either way without the appropriate DLC (and when you do get the DLC it retcons that you somehow survive either way), it doesn’t really matter except whether you care about the narrator calling you a coward or not in the photo reel at the end. BUT, and I swear this must have been like a last minute addition that the writer’s completely forgot they’d written themselves into a corner with because they’d already decided on a STELLAR ending. One of the few travelling companions in this game, in fact perhaps the only one you gain directly from the main quest, a mere hour or two before this final room, is Fawkes. He’s got 2 important character traits: Friendly, which is odd for a supermutant in the bethesda canon, and Immune to Death By Radiation, a trait that is not only common to supermutants, but DEMONSTRATED in the quest just before this one. Like an hour ago of gameplay, there was an irradiated room you couldn’t enter to get this macguffin you need, so after some pleasantries, the solution to this puzzle is to have your new friend Fawkes go in and grab it for you effortlessly. It is in fact the only solution to that puzzle, it is the one plot-critical thing that Fawkes is notable for. So your options, to review: sacrifice yourself, or sacrifice another human. Or ask Fawkes to do it so no one has to die, and have him tell you in the most pretentious way to go fuck off and die in the radiation room, buddy.

I feel like having your character be evil or die no matter what would have sucked ass for a game like this no matter what but here are so many reasons this doesn’t work for Fallout specifically and for this plot specifically.

Fallout is famously cavalier about the actual effects of radiation on the body and one of the reasons for this is that there’s so much medicine that can treat radiation poisoning that you can buy it at any doctor’s office. I forget if it was in this game or not but you can literally craft it out of mushrooms in some games. How tf did a booby trap gather enough radiation to kill you when actual nuclear waste won’t? You can detonate an actual nuke earlier in the game and the resulting fallout (heh) won’t kill you as quickly as this shit. You have a tiny Davey Crocket nuke launcher that leaves radiation and it barely touches you. There are multiple items that make you absorb less radiation including the trademark power armor.

One of the main villains escaped with his life when this chamber was flooded with radiation in the first place. Didn’t even have a hazmat suit.

In addition to Fawkes, you also have a robot companion named RL3 you can get. While his refusal in the base game is a bit better written than Fawkes’s, he also literally should not be able to refuse.

The radiation was a trap to stop the Enclave from activating the water purifier. The reason they want to activate it is so they can ration clean water as leverage to take over the Capital Wasteland. How did he expect us to turn it on afterwards?

To activate the purifier, you need to clear out the Enclave occupying it. What was the point of not letting them turn on the water purifier if we’re gonna have to take it back anyway? It’s powerful enough to purify the whole Potomac and water is a renewable resource once you can do that. It doesn’t matter if they get a little bit of the water out before we do this. This man died AND got us killed for NOTHING. How are we meant to get in there to do maintenance?

THE GAME DOESN’T GIVE YOU THE FUCKING CODE FOR THE PURIFIER IN YOUR QUEST LOG! You’re supposed to infer it from the Bible verse your dad uses several times throughout the game. Which would be well and good if there were literally ANY other point in the game where you had to make that sort of inference, but it’s not that kind of game! Stuff like that’s in the quest logs! The only way to actually get the code is 1) see a dialogue option where you tell the villain (getting you shot after) and remember it for later (again, why would you? The game usually notes these things for you) or 2) pick the option to sacrifice the only person who’ll actually do it, tell her the code, see it in the dialogue box, wait for the ending to insult you, then load a save God knows how far back. I think you may also be able to say you’re sending her in there, read the dialogue, and change your mind, but then you still gotta be an asshole.

Also they didn’t change the ending narration when the DLC to change the ending came out so Ron Perlman still calls you a bitch for sending in someone who’ll actually live.

Also when you have the DLC, when you ask an immune companion to activate the purifier, they go “oh lol yeah. I can’t die from this. Good idea!”

“Sorry human, but no. My fingers are too big to use the keypad” would have been less stupid.

Reading The Lord of the Rings and there is a small scene in Fellowship that I cant stop thinking about.

it's after Frodo and friends meet Aragorn for the first time. After they have slept the night in the Inn and are ready to leave, but they learn their poneys are no more. Let loose by the enemy to delay them even if slightly.

And because they need at least one for carrying everything they need for the travel, they decide to purchase one from the most hated individual in the town: Bill Ferny.

It was an old mistreated, malnourished pony that was on the brink of death. And which Bill sold to them for far more than the Pony was worth. But they still purchase the Pony because they have no choice. and this Pony does not seem that important, just a minor nuisance to make their journey slightly more difficult.

And then the book goes onto mention how the old pony, having changed owner, being fed and cared for, becomes healthier, more alive. Capable of actually moving and helping.

And then the book mentions how this pony has to carry Frodo. And how it makes an effort to find the least bumpy path to leviate the journey for Frodo.

And it's the way in which the book shows the kind nature of the heroes, in which even as they are trying to escape from danger, they were able to help this poor creature. and how it gives that kindness in return the best way it can.

The way in which Tolkien says a little bit of kindness can do so much.
