I've specifically avoiding taking any of those for that very reason. :frusty:

That's what I did.

Ironically Burke sent Talon Company and Bounty Hunters to take me out after I killed him...

One thing that bugs me about the game is how they try to make you sympathetic towards the ghouls.  IMO ghouls are no longer humans & should be culled. 

They certainly have no business being in Tenpenny Tower  ;)

Can't you pretty much just kill anyone you want, aside from characters key to the main plot?  I know you can shoot Gob as I did it once for fun. :blush:

Yeah, but I'm just saying the game tries to make you treat ghouls like people.

Well, I haven't played through yet, but the game gives the impression, based on what I *have* seen to this point, that ghouls are viewed with disdain by "regular" humans.  Can't you just roleplay that you spit on them and push them around a little if it concerns you that much? :contract:

Sure I can do what I want.  It's just a bit of an annoyance what the game is trying to get me to do.

Btw, what's the deal with the armory in Megaton?  I picked the lock one time for shits & giggles, and the stupid robot thing inside started shooting me so I ran off.  Then the whole town decided to attack me.

It ought to be pretty easy to make a The Road mod for this. Remove all muties, beasts and about 95% of NPCs. Make raiders very deadly. Make eating/staying warm a vital requirement, and make food/drink/other items very rare. Turn most textures to grey. Decrease day lengths, increase effects of night.

Done.

I too would prefer a game without all the ghey mutants, mutated animals, etc.  It detracts from the immersion IMO.

P.S. Dogmeat :wub:

I fail to see how that movie is a mod for FO3. :unsure:
