AITA: My Starfield wife wants a divorce and all I did was chuck one grenade into a crowd of bystanders

And telling her to "calm down" didn't help, somehow.

- Juntti is not in the sudoers file. This will be reported.
  
  admin is no longer your active companion
Meanwhile, I managed to accidentally start a civil war in New Atlantis by picking up an (“Owned”) empty beer bottle off the ground to put it into a trash can.
- Citizen, don't pick up that bottle.
- The same problem thier games have had since 2002 with item ownership, and it's still in this game?
  That's dumb AF.
  
  At least it's not like in Morrowind, where if you stole something of a merchant's, they thought that every other identical item in the world belonged to them as well.
- As someone who hoards everything and doesn't like to bother with stealing things, I learned quickly that nobody in the galaxy cares about certain items. Disposable cups I get, but everyone is also just fine with you taking all their pens, styluses, notepads, notebooks, folders, plants, pots, pans, and that one desk toy that looks like a bunch of balls stuck together.
  
  I've actually never seen an empty beer bottle that was owned before, but I have seen almost identical full bottles right next to them that are, making it easy to steal accidentally if you're not paying attention.
  
  Those styrofoam cups have been my Skyrim cheese wheel. Plentiful and as you said nobody cares about them. I cant wait to fill my ship with them
Video game with a divorce system. That's wild. What's next, alimony and child custody?
- Starfield has starting traits for house payments and payments to your parents. 😬
  
  I laughed way too hard when I saw that option.
  
  In retrospect, it's actually not that much now that I'm a rich pirate hunter.
  
  The house payment seemed horrifying, I did the parents one. My parents are fucking nice in this game. There's totally a dialogue option with them where you can tell them you "don't think you can keep making the payments", I didn't have the heart to even quicksave and try it.
  
  That hits too close to home for me.
- You reminded me that Fable 2 let you have kids and if your wife dies, CPS takes away your kids lol. I think she can even leave you and take the kids with her.
Funny, she left my squad way before we got to any romance options; she didn't like that my response to being arrested was to blast the cop. I got the same convo seen in the article. I was very disappointed that I wasn't able to say "If the state wants a monopoly on violence then maybe they should hire someone who is better at it."
I love it. Apparently it was to test the counter that says X hours since last accident.

Throwing the grenade does drop it to 0.

Hilarious.
- Nice. I saw that sign and wondered myself; but didn't actually test it because... I have no idea. 🤷🏻‍♂️
- Now I wonder what happens if you can tell your companions to Wait Here somewhere, crouch down somewhere no one sees you, and use a silenced weapon to kill someone? Will the sign still know?!? Signs point to YES.
Just wait when you’re in a space battle and an allied ship that flies in front of you takes one bullet from you. You’ll be making all kinds of enemies outside and inside your ship that day.
- i accidentally shot a guy because the enemy sprinted toward him and sarah morgan immideately ratted me out to security
  
  She didn't like my approval of the Neuroamp, but I was able to change her mind using the Neuroamp. That shit is so fucking hilarious lol
  
  I always knew she was a narc!
AITA for rizzing Andreja up and then leaving her behind for Unity? 10 times?
- is Dusty the new drip king? or did he just get rizzed up by Andreja?
NTA. If they didn't want to be blown up, they shouldn't have done something deserving of being blown up. You should leave her first and find someone who deserves you. After you throw a grenade at her.
I told you babe it was an accident! The F key for Scanner is right next to the G key for grenade!!

Yo literally nothing I do will make this lady happy.
