It's kind of disturbing how quickly that happens. I had to reload more saves in The Den from that than you would expect.

Furia posted:It’s also bullshit that Myron counts as a child though I guess he is underage Correct me if I'm wrong, but while killing directly Myron net you the title, you should be able to circumvent it if you take him to the surgery room in the Sierra Army Depot, lock him in the room, and then activate the surgery machine to remove his organs. It still results in karma loss, though, since you're killing a companion. [Reference: https://lparchive.org/Fallout-2-(by-ddegenha)/Update%2030/ Chris Avellone states in the Fallout Bible that he 'usually he just ends up a brainless husk as his brain is ripped out and put into the Robobrain', so at least Myron has some use. Furia posted:You only get the child killer perk if you kill two children, so you get a freebie with Myron One death will list the title on your character sheet, but only after two will NPCs acknowledge it. Angry Diplomat posted:I think some longtime Fallout fans might have been traumatized by the pocket-picking little fuckers in the Den from FO2. They had a tendency to liberate unique items or Important Sidequest poo poo. The only obvious way to permanently stop them from doing this was to murder them, which pissed off half the Den and got you the Child Killer reputation, resulting in extremely heavily armed bounty hunters pursuing you for the rest of the game. One time when I was trying to play through Fallout 2, I was in the Den and I went to deliver the radio to Vic, only to not get the option. I got confused, because I thought I forgot to pick it up, so I went back to his shack in Klamath. After seeing it wasn't there, either, I reloaded a save, and only then occurred to me that one of the little kids who lurk by the entrances pick-pocketed off of me, and the game didn't tell me.  Also, obligatory reference: /Update%2016/15-FO2_16_8.png) Man, I know way too much about Fallout...

I've never had the pickpocket kids actually manage to grab anything worth getting upset about, but notably the poison is the cure in this case. They can only gently caress with you because pickpocket is a stupid, broken skill in fallout 1/2 (coincidentally also morrowind/oblivion, so fallout 3 naturally joins in but without half the best bits) in several notable ways. Yes, you can use pickpocket to take, but you can also use it to GIVE, as in, place armed explosives on someone without them knowing. Fallout 3 made you burn a perk on putting armed grenades in people's pockets instead of just letting you arm dynamite and shove it in someone's trousers. This notably doesn't even count as you killing them. Much like the super stimpack assassination, nobody notices/understands/gives a poo poo if you shove someone's pants full of armed explosives and saunter away whistling innocently. The pickpocket kids included. They operate in pairs that flank doorways so one dynamite can easily bag both of a pair if lit and planted. The merchants whose doors they flank are notably both "scum" as well, so even if you don't want to explode kids with dynamite, you've only ever gotta run each gauntlet once to get to the merchant inside so you can murder them and steal their inventory. Since the merchants are assholes who use child-slave pickpockets nobody cares and your karma goes up if you murder them to steal their inventories. Reverse-pickpocketing armed explosives is also a good way of addressing the Slavers in The Den (same town as the pickpocket kids) and for similar reasons. Also obligatory shoutout to Fallout style "karma" systems that declare me the Paragon Of Virtue for my willingness to cruelly slaughter those I (and the underlying system) deem "Scum" via unprovoked terroristic attacks and straight up robbery.

So who here's heard of OFF? It's an RPGmaker game in French that's made by a guy with a very distinct art style. There was a LP of it on the forums. Meet Sucre (or Sugar):  She's a missable optional boss. You basically meet her, have a small but confusing conversation, and kill her. I know what you're thinking! Someone should mod Jeanette Voerman from Bloodlines to look like her! ...no? Well, someone did.  I'll be honest, I wouldn't have even looked at this if not for the really random idea behind it. I'm kinda glad I did because the execution is so godawful.

Weird defensive tones aside, they do have some excellent long-form postmortems, as well as reports on working conditions at studios that have spurred actual change, in the end. In a way, the fetish articles pay for that.

It's weird to think about, considering Kotaku's rep, but it's one of the few outlets that actually uses the clickbait money to pay for some real journalism.
