Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

Cass just feels kind of underpowered when put up against the raging killbots that are Boone and Veronica (also she's harder to recruit than any companion besides Raul). I got nothing on Annah, I always kept her around because I didn't feel like making Nameless One a thief.

I always found it weird that post Dead Money you can tell Veronica about Elijah, but you can't tell her about Christine

Yeah, the trick is you can't open the door to Tabitha or free Raul without having fixed Rhonda or it's an unavoidable fight. You have to repair Rhonda first, then Tabitha will come find you for another resolution.

Tabitha's radio channel is the best one in the game and it's unfortunate you have to kill it to pick up Raul

That's honestly where my cooperating with House always comes to an end.

House: Go kill the Brotherhood in the bunker.

Me: The *entire* Brotherhood, that's kind of sus.

House: GET HIM MY ROBOTS

You have to kill Tabitha's radio station forever to get Raul and that's always one of those "Ehhhh must I" things

The line between NCR during Tandi's life and NCR after Tandi dies seems to be a Wile E. Coyote cliff straight down. Although the foreshadowing was definitely there even as of Fallout 2

The bigger thing is you have to kill Doc Mitchell if you side with Cobb and there goes your only source of healing broken limbs in the early going

You'd think the equivalent doctor hanging around the Powder Gangers could do it but nope

My favorite part of playing FO1 and 2 was randomly taking 300 damage and dying to a crit that bypassed my Power Armor.

Alternately getting up to Lou in FO1, watching his big villain speech, then exploding him with one pistol crit to the head

They make you kill Doc Mitchell for that quest and there goes your easiest way of recovering all the bones you'll be shattering by land mine in the early going

Dean is so over the top a shithead it's honestly great. I don't think I've seen a character who will secretly hold a grudge against you forever like that since Alpha Protocol

Only one that comes close is Alpha Protocol, where characters would remember eight hours down the line whether they hated you for being obnoxious

I mean Elijah says outright the holograms and poo poo were extraneous, he wanted the infinite vending machines (and also the death gas but mostly the vending machines)

Planescape was the most memorable one I can recall for having an evil route consisting of nothing but completely vile choices with nothing fun about any of it. I don't think I ever finished the thing, it was a straight road of "Ew"

They do plop an NPC at the entrance to Quarry Junction just to say "Going this way will definitely get you killed"

Vault Dweller literally killed all of them in Fallout 1 except for the leader's son, who recruited enough dudes to have a second Khans gang going in Fallout 2

Honest Hearts is odd in that the main story of it is really short, but there is a great big and interesting sidequest to do that's much longer (and you are not steered into recognizing its existence at all)
