Argh that was so frustrating-- His story seemed so tailored to help you specifically with that problem, and I felt so clever for trudging across the map to get him for that situation... It felt like a prank when he's just like "oh great idea but no because reasons."
Which game had the super mutant who called your deary and dressed like a grandma? I know that's a real memory but I'll be damned if i remember... I wanna say NV
the fact that we still remember these characters is such a testament to the writing of NV, it's straight up the fellowship of the ring to the post-postapocalypse genre
I believe her companion story involved choosing whether or not to treat her worsening nightkin psychosis with the consequence that treatment would make her forget her grandkids
Ah man new vegas really was great. How many companions through how many games were as memorable as NVs? Its been an awfully long time, should replay it.
Yeah it's not selfless to enter a situation in which one person (you) will absolutely 110% die, when there's someone right next to you who is 100% immune to the very thing that will kill you.
In fact, I would say that anyone in that situation who wouldn't immediately let everyone know "hey I'll be perfectly fine doing this, so stand back I got this" is kind of a piece of shit.
It's literally "I would suffer no I'll effects by doing this, but it wasn't built by MY dad so go fucking kill yourself with it, tiny humie"
