What did Bethesda mean by this?

>>377659113
"Fucking kill yourself, human."

>>377659113
That's actually pretty cool

>>377659113
>even after dlc was added to fix this, the ending slides actually insult you for not choosing to kill yourself like a retard and having your immune NPC companion do it for you.

fuck you too todd

>>377659259
Shut up Todd

>>377659259

Todd it's so obvious that's you hahahahaha

>>377659525
There's literally no reason not to go in there though. You can continue playing and even get a perk for going in yourself

>>377659551
>>377659657
But really, had they not retconned the ending it would have actually be a clever way of having your character go on as a martyr who gave his life to save the world

He's he American equivalent of Khan from M2033.

>>377659890
>choosing to be a martyr when the dude who you've killed bandits for 100 hours with next to you is immune to radiation

That's not what clever means.

>>377659525
This. So fucking stupid.

for fucks sake todd all you would have had to do is have a scripted event where your companion stops to stay with the brotherhood holding off enemies outside and the entire situation could have been avoided.

>>377659890
no it's not, it's fucking terrible writing. what kind of insecurr asshat of a person kills themselves just because they wanted to be a martyr. it's idiotic. they took the easy route rather than just making an alternate ending for fawkes.
it's even more stupid because not only is fawkes fucking healed by radiation, but i'm pretty sure, if i remember correctly, you saved his damn life. your character asks him "hey could you press this button so i don't fucking die" and he just refuses because muh destiny.

>>377660713
Its not even just fawkes; Charon also should be able to go in there without problem. And the fucking robot. Three fucking companions and they didn't bother to make another ending.

>>377659113
Even the AI companions think the game is shit and just want it to be over.

>>377660859
charon is also compelled to do whatever you tell him if you have his contract too which makes it even more BS

>>377659739
Only because they retconned it to make the radiation dangerous but not immediately lethal, which defeats the whole purpose of their big tragic ending in the first place. Sure, there's no reason not to go in there in game terms, but in story terms, there's every reason to send in an immune companion instead.

>>377660713
Fawkes isn't healed by radiation, only ghouls are. Super Mutants are really resistant to radiation though, so he still has no excuse. Let's not forget that Charon, who is a ghoul, also refuses for some dumb reason, even though he's literally your slave.

>>377659890
>"yah bro I know that you saved me and the DC wasteland, and I know that I can totally go in there and survive the radiation with zero harm, and I know that if you were to go on living you would probably continue to do great work but you should fucking kill yourself because of destiny or something."

>>377662159
muties arent really resistant. They have complete immunity due to their enhanced anatomy

Is there a more stupidly written game than FO3?

>>377662441
Skyrim

>>377659113
I exploited glitches to have multiple companions. Had the supermutant, the ghoul, and the robot and all three told me to kill myself. Thanks Todd.

>>377662441
Fallout 4

>>377659525
Wasn't that Emil's doing? Why does Todd get the blame for everything?

Reminder that you people succ Emil through his jhorts over his writing of The Silver Shroud.

>>377659113
Its means Todd Howard is a fucking hack who couldn't write a proper 1st grade essay even if he wanted to.

>>377660713
Not to mention that one of the main reasons Fawkes was introduced in the first place was so he could safely retrieve the GECK for you, because it was in - you guessed it - a highly irradiated area that was too dangerous for you to go into. After that, having him refuse to go start the purifier really felt like Bethesda was fucking with you on purpose.

>>377659525
Even that fucking Nigger of Three dog "if you want something here you first gotta do something lmao" anounces in his shitty radiostation how selfish you where if you sent Fawkes

>>377662650
>Wasn't that Emil's doing?
He was the writer, so probably, yeah.

>Why does Todd get the blame for everything?
For better or worse, Todd is the face of Bethesda.

>>377663003
I could never understand how people liked Three dog, he was such an annoying character that berated you for not doing the "right" thing.

What happens if you try to send Charon into the chamber, without DLC? He's immune to radiation and is honor bound to obey your every command.

>>377663380
i think he just says no

>>377663423
That's much dumber than Fawkes' "destiny" speech.

>>377663380
>>377663423
same with the robot companion
You need to have Broken Steel in order to send in the immune companions.

>>377663691
>You need to have Broken Steel in order to send in the immune companions.
What the fuck? You couldn't just patch that into the vanilla version?

>>377663691
Shit, forgot there was a robot. A robot refusing to go in is by far the dumbest scenario.

>>377659113
Something along the lines of "don't expect horrifically mutated former humans to always behave logically".

>>377663785
Possible with a mod I guess, or if you're tech savvy enough to port the options over.

Console players are completely restricted however.

>>377663220
He didn't put you to sleep like Mr. New Vegas does.

>>377663785
The game literally ended after this point; it wasn't like TES where you got out of the dungeon and could go do all the other side quests and shit. Credits rolled, and then you went back to the title screen.

It was all the bitching about this that led them to make Broken Steel in the first place.

>>377664238
>The game literally ended after this point
That's fine but sticking that version with a retarded choice is still retarded. Just because your only option is self sacrifice doesn't mean people will like it when other obvious solutions exist right in front of you. You can still fade to black and end the game and you won't have people sitting there asking the exact questions that lead to broken steel.

He even derides you for refusing to let the ghouls murder everybody in Tenpenny Tower. Fuck him.

>>377663380
>>377663423
Not only does he say no, he basically tells you to go fuck yourself, because, in his words, "I've saved your ass enough times already."

>>377664898
>now we just need a counterpoint to the retards who think the games are better on PC

Why would you add that shit to your screencap?

>>377663974
"Even if they're exceptions among their kind in terms of being intelligent, articulate, and intellectually curious."

>>377664415
You mean Jet, the pre-war drug that's found in abundance in pre-war buildings and sealed vaults?

>>377664898
>cool places

lol

>>377665161
Look, lets say I meet a meth junkie that's intelligent, articulate and curious. I still wouldn't turn my back on him.

>>377659113
Jeff Gerstmann gave the game 4/5 for this exact moment.

>>377664915
i always hated that. kill the ghouls of peace three dog wont stfu about it. let them kill tennpenny oh well thats life in the wasteland. and the fat that you lose karma for using the virus come on supermutants and ghouls were eating and killing people, but no its their religion and we must respect their culture

>>377662441
Fallout 4 is almost as stupid, but I think 3 takes the cake

>>377665673
4 is just an extension of 3. It's arguably worse.

because he is the leader and a meme on top of that.

even though todd is not the cause of any problems in the games, he is still blamed because he is the leader.

>>377665880
I wonder if there was anyone autistic enough to screencap the rebuttal that surely came.

>>377665568
Pretty sure the enclave's virus wipes out any humans not born in a vault too.

>>377659931
In what way?

>>377666149
oh really? i guess i missed that part. i thought it was specific to ghouls and super mutants. still would have used it tho.

>>377666387
Nope, anything with any amount of radiation. Anyone outside of the vault would get meme'd from that stupid virus nonsense

I love that he thinks the fact that the water purifier has no good reason to exist is countered by "made by james," as if the complaint was that they didn't know who built it.
