      Argh that was so frustrating-- His story seemed so tailored to help you specifically with that problem, and I felt so clever for trudging across the map to get him for that situation… It felt like a prank when he’s just like “oh great idea but no because reasons.”

        Wasn’t Fawkes a woman? ETA: no, just looked it up. The character was supposed to be male. Wonder why I was thinking that…

      at least Broken Steel exists to have him actually accept helping you…

      except the game will still berate you for not being selfless.

          Yeah it’s not selfless to enter a situation in which one person (you) will absolutely 110% die, when there’s someone right next to you who is 100% immune to the very thing that will kill you.

          In fact, I would say that anyone in that situation who wouldn’t immediately let everyone know “hey I’ll be perfectly fine doing this, so stand back I got this” is kind of a piece of shit.

          It’s literally “I would suffer no I’ll effects by doing this, but it wasn’t built by MY dad so go fucking kill yourself with it, tiny humie”

            If they wanted you to die they should have come up with some reason why only you could do it. Like it could only respond to your DNA or something.

      That’s was such a fo3 copout. The dumbest.

      Absolutely.

      They fixed it in the Tale of Two Wastelands megamod though, amongst many other things.

      ToTW with DLC is the only good way to replay 3 and a damn fine way of replaying NV too if you ask me. Even if you don’t!

      Edit: oops, seems it was Broken Steel that fixed that part. I stand by the rest, though.
