    Some of you may remember my 'broken' grenade a couple of pages back... turns out it isn't so broken after all, as the BoS Outcast bitch that just mouthed off has found out...

    ...Of course, she was too busy searching her pants to tell if it was broken or not.

    I found it more entertaining to snipe Outcasts from extreme range with a sniper rifle, It doesnt even register against their hostility check, then you cna walk in and pickup their power armored loot

    Yeah but,

    Speaking of 'creep factor' - for me it's every time I run into one of those naked female mannequins. You know... Bioshock... that room...

    I can't remember how these lines went exactly, but a particular Mr. Handy cowered at the sight of super mutants in DC, saying "Oh, dear me, I believe I may have dropped something, back there..." and making other excuses while backing away. I just love robots- and he seemed so eager to kill a Centaur earlier.

    EDIT: It's Handy, I've heard the one in the hospital too. It's his accent and all.

    You should have a save game right at the exit of the vault, you can mess around with the face settings there. It will probably overwrite your autosave, you'll want to hard save before doing it.

    Or you can just talk to Pinkerton.

    I've got the same bug. Luckily, I have the PC version and console command my hairstyle in. I have no idea why it's not giving me the same bug after summoning the screen, though.

    Or shoot her and then eat her. And then throw her body off the balcony.

    Like, that's the whole point! How can you have a gloomy atmosphere if you don't have a cheery character to set it off against?

    See, I think that Moira might actually be one of the most damaged people in the Wasteland. Everyone else understands the gravity of the situation and deals with it in ways that one could predict or expect: substance abuse, melancholy, resignation or violence. Some people put on a brave face, but in general if you look a little deeper you can see that pretty much everyone is pretty cynical about their situation and their prospects.

    Except Moira. Here’s a lady who genuinely seems to not understand the circumstances that she is in. She apparently believes that a rosy outlook can improve her lot and that she can help people by writing a book.

    And then there’s the research itself:
    “Get horribly irradiated so I can inject you with a concoction I made up over breakfast this morning.”
    “It would be great if you could get the shit kicked out of you and then drag yourself back with a broken arm or leg.”
    “Be a dear and go play in a minefield and bring me back an explosive.”
    This is just to start.
    Don’t forget her comment about her last research assistant.

    Let’s face it: if she was really interested in medical research, she could ask Doc Church or Hoff when he comes around. And if she wants to play with a landmine, she could buy one from Harith. But instead she chooses to ask a complete stranger to put themselves in mortal danger for the sake of her work. She’s a certifiable crazy person, and when you undertake her tasks you are actually enabling her behaviour by rewarding her sociopathy with results.

    I think that Moira fits in perfectly.

    What might help is if you prune your savegames folder. I had the same issue; perfect performance for over a week, and then crashes became fairly regular. Looking at my save folder, I noticed I'd saved about 1800 times. Given I wouldn't even be looking at 95% of these ever again, I deleted all but about 50. Performance improved once again, and has remained stable since.

    As I recall, this was a problem in Morrowind, too.

    The Xbox version would also start to crash is the individual save files got too big, which happened the longer you played the game.

    For the same reason you can't use a Fenix Down to resurrect Aeris after Sephiroth kills her. Get over it.

    I think what really ticked me off about the ending was how tacked on it was. I have no issues with making a choice, but the way they did it was lazy, forcing you into something without any options besides A or B, despite there being other more logical options. All just so that they can say they put in a "moral choice"

    What's worse is that there is no moral ambiguity according to the game. If you go in it's "Hooray! You're a hero! Congratulations!" if you choose not to you get "UGH! You sick pathetic person! How dare you!" even your character's own response options reflect that.

    I'm sure you guys have heard it all before, but those are my own thoughts.
