      @@DAethrysghouls aren’t 100% immune to radiation, it’s how ferals happen. A ghoul’s mind is still susceptible to radiation damage. The longer a ghoul stays in a heavily irradiated environment, the quicker they will go feral. It’s why ghouls in the cities are fine, but ghouls out in the wastes tend to be ferals. A city in the wastelands is always set up in areas with very low/no radiation. So a ghoul will be perfectly safe, even pre-war ghouls like Daisy in Goodneighbor

    With Broken Steel: "That cowardly pussy, the Lone Wanderer, pooped in his diaper at the sign of danger.

      A Trolley crashing will destroy a hospital, killing the million people inside and millions more waiting for repairs. If the trolley goes to an alternate rail, it will pass over a lever in the middle of the rails. The lever must be pulled to divert the trolley, and could easily kill someone like your friend. You, an incredibly agile and strong being in body and character, would not die if you pulled it, as you can either dodge out of the way of the trolley or cause it to crash into you, leaving yourself unharmed and the trolley destroyed.
      Your choices are as follows:
      A) Pull the lever in the middle of the track. Be hailed as a hero.
      B) Force your friend to pull it, where there is a 100% chance he will die in the process.
      In this scenario, all companions choose B. If you have Broken Steel, Fawkes, Charon and Sarge will all choose A.

    If they wanted it to be more realistic and impactful, they should've found a way in the story for your character to get separated from everyone else so that you're the only one able to reach that room. And if they wanted to make it a choice, they should've had an option before you get separated from your companions for you to voluntarily start the chain of events that leads to you reaching the finale where you know full well that you will likely be separated from your companions. And if they wanted to make a 'sly' or 'bad karma' option, they could allow you to convince or trick your companion to do the finale for you if some skill checks are passed.

      yeah, the pics have artifact-ing from the radiation prematurely/over exposing some of the film. Same thing used to happen to film in airports going through the scanner, and fun fact the kodak company had to be sworn to secrecy during the development of the atomic bomb, they'd had complaints about their film near the areas of testing, they investigated and realized it was radiation exposure, having no known sources they contacted the government, and were subsequently told to stfu lol.
      As far as the effect on robots, you're pretty spot on i think. There have been many attempts to use robots to clean up fukushima, differing designs etc and to my knowledge these robots only last for a short while. If you're interested i'm sure there is some coverage about it floating around.

      Hot take: Fallout 4's story is better than 3's. At least Fallout 4 had different factions and a bit more idealogical nuance than "Go die a pointless, easily avoidable death or you're a giant coward." 3 also lacks any concept of grey morality and you're essentially forced to choose between playing either a self-sacrificing goody two shoes or a psychotic mass murder with almost nothing in between. Plus the absolute idiocy of the evil ending where you inexplicably poison the water supply with modified FEV which will literally make it fatal to you too if you drink it just makes me shake my head in disbelief every time I think about it.

Even when I was a teenager I was like wait what that is fucking stupid you can literally do it and live why would you refuse to save everyone.

It was the first time in my first FO3 playthrough where I was openly questioning the writing and how bullshit that was.
    Of course, today, I question so much more of the writing, but, for a 15 year old me to be blown out of the immersion of a finale to a game like Fallout 3 because of some horrible vague excuse like Fawkes gives is pretty bad.
