There has to be another explanation besides the writers of the game sucking major balls at writing. Right? Like you not only have Fawkes, you have a ghoul friend and likely a fucking suit of power armor. Three ways right there you could have resolved the problem without anyone dying.

Nope, there’s a reason that fawkes was patched to be able to go in there in a dlc. It was a bullshit narrative choice that they rightly fixed after the fact, but still shit on you for not killing yourself like your father did because DeStInY
Pop 3 rad-x and have some radaway ready. Plus most players will have already been irradiated for Moira by this point.
Been too long so I don’t remember if 3 has the high level perk that turns radiation into healing. If it was there, and someone had it, that would be an extra slap in the face.
There are a couple of perks for radiation. One removes the negative effects from minor radiation sickness, and another heals crippled limbs from advanced rad sickness. Otherwise, yeah I think the writers are just turbo doo doo
I think the original intent was that the rad room had to result in the death of your main character, hence the refusal of your companions. So the lack of believability of the refusal of the companion characters is pretty bad writing.
Sucking balls at writing MQs is one thing. They also thought too much of themselves when they did it that way, and weren’t passionate enough about that bold choice to own it as they took it back in a DLC. Bethesda’s managers are a joke.
Screw Fawkes, Charon is even more egregious. This guy is brainwashed to obey any command given to him by his contract holder, AKA you. For some reason, this brainwashing does not count in this one specific situation, which is to literally go push a few buttons. He’s refused to kill one of the most evil bastards in the Capital because of this contract, but pressing 4 buttons is a bridge too far.
This has been patched or something because I just did this with him a few days ago. Best bro struggled a bit to hit the numbers but he got it done.
I’m pretty sure that change was made for Broken Steel. They really wanted to end the game with the main quest, so you needed a fucking dlc to survive and have a post-game
Edit: I just checked, and it is a change from Broken Steel that lets you tell Fawkes, Charon, or the Mister Gutsy companion to go in and push the buttons
and even with the Broken Steel change, the game still has the gall, the audacity to call you a coward for not sacrificing your life when you have your radiation immune friend do the deed instead.
Probably didn’t want to recall hellboy to do another voice line so they picked the one that fit. Still bothered me though.
Nah
Just posting a Wikipedia link no one asked for should be bannable, it’s insufferable behavior.
I thought it was a concise way to say “posting uncropped images is bad” without trying to start a fight. I can’t make everyone happy so I’m sorry it pissed you off.
I’m just fucking around, I’m sorry!
-Sniffs-
Mhm.
Yep.
Emil’s been here.
