Just pretend the game doesn't end.  It's better that way.

This is the part you want to remember:

BETTER DEAD THAN RED.  (Laser sound goes here.)

He needed dual American flags flowing in the wind off his back.

I think you mean dual American flag AXES with the flags forming blades of DEMOCRACY

Hraedon bought the nuka-cola machine specifically to turn nuka-colas into Icy Cold Nuka-colas just so he could have one to drink at the ending

He should have gotten the Nuka-Grenade schematic instead. Turning the great taste of Nuka-Cola into the great taste of vengeance.

Says nuka-cola quantums sell for too much to be worth it (also, grenades are for morons)

Um, I actually used Ice-Cold Nukas as my primary healing source.  If you go through [spoiler]the hospital and the hotel to find the stranded Ranger team[/spoiler], you will have a TON of regular nukas and stims.  The fridge doubles the effectiveness of the nukas? Hell yeah.

I need to check the art book and see if there are any sketches of Liberty Prime in there.

I noticed something funny with the Outcasts who you can sell tech to.

*offer tesla helmet*

He immediately puts it on.

*offer tesla armor*

He immediately puts it on.

Also I don't think carry weight ever affects your followers.  I had Fawkes carrying about four power armor suits for me.

That was something that happened in Morrowind too.  I think they just immediately equip the most valuable item in their inventory.  Pretty much always led to you going up to some guy in a hemp shirt, bartering with them, and leaving with him in full armor staring you down.

This.

I reloaded my save from just as I entered [spoiler]Project Purity[/spoiler] and ran back out and continued on playing the sidequests. As a sort of retribution for the bad ending, I fast-traveled to Tenpenny Tower and killed every one of those smug pricks inside.

It was here that I realized that the karma system is a little dodgy. When I killed the residents and guards (the same ones that hired me to kill the Ghouls), it dinged my karma, but when I killed Tenpenny and his assistant, I apparently was morally justified. I dunno. I think maybe the entire idea of putting a moral or ethical judgment on the actions of a character dropped wholly unprepared into a lawless and hostile postapocalyptic world is a bit unsavory.

Or maybe I just don't like games judging me. Who knows?

My favorite part of the game is when I was fighting a Yao Guai, and as it's jumping at me I get a killing critical on it in VATS, sending the body flying off into the distance. "Team Rocket's blasting off agaaaaaaaaaiiiiinnnn! *ting*"

There is nothing more satisfying than making a junk save and going motherfucking postal on Megaton.

Especially when you just chain-click the top item in the "AID" category and end up HIGH AS FUCK.

4.7 million copies sold.  Wow.  It's been out about a week, right?

Okay, fuck this.  Getting your ass kicked from one end of the world to the other is apparently everybody else's concept of fun, but not mine.

Still torrenting the hell out of it.
