I’ve noticed something about Charon!

After every enemy he shoots and kills, he always fires an extra round into the corpse. Now....Maybe I just smoke way too much weed when I play Fallout 3, but I swear I've seen Charon do this multiple times.

I've replayed Fallout 3 a couple of times and Charon is always my go to companion. (After I get a fuckton of caps, smh) And this most recent play through I have been staring at his character a bit more than usual.

When you recruit Charon and he kills Ahzrukhal, he shoots him twice, even though the first shotgun blast did the job just fine. I've never paid this much mind, thinking it was ONLY just because of his hatred for Ahzrukhal. But now I've noticed he does this with all enemies! (Well most, he and Dogmeat kill shit fast af and I don't always see it)

This is just kind of interesting to me! Always making sure an enemy is dead by doing a double tap is a great reassurance in the apocalypse. It totally makes sense for Charon's character as well. He is a perceptive person, and has probably had more than his share of bad experiences with things not being quite dead. I also wonder if he was taught this skill or if he learned it the hard way?

Even if this is just my imagination it’s something neat to think about with his character!!
