Why is Worf in Engineering anyway?
Fawkes was so full of shit. This isn’t about honor. I literally will not survive the task. YOU might come out of it stronger, let alone unscathed.
Edit: Bonus Trek connection with Michael Dorn as supermutant Marcus.
I don’t blame Fawkes.
I blame whoever at Bethesda wrote it and also whoever thought that was an acceptable plot point/ending and didn’t ask for changes (which I guess is Todd Howard but then again he wasn’t the director for FO3). They are so bad at actual logic and RPG design.
Entirely fair. Fawkes is a generally great companion/tank/storage unit. The blame falls on the writers’ lack of imagination (and appropriate dev time). Not to mention Todd “it just works” Howard.
edit: even if it wasn’t under Todd’s direction, I’m still generally annoyed with his shenanigans. More so since eventually, I will wind up playing the next TES and Fallout entries. Presumably after a year post release and on a reasonable sale.
Just a reminder, this is only implemented because of a game breaking bug that would occur when you tried to send him in to do the job. I remember because I encountered that bug; I bought the game disk day one and didn’t update it until later. You literally had to pick a different option because if you had him do it, he’d be like “sure thing that’s a great idea,” and then he’d walk in there and flip the switch and then the game would hard crash to desktop.
I’m out of the loop. What’s the joke here? I’m guessing it’s a fallout thing?
Why not send an Exocomp or two into the tube of death?
i could stand maybe ten seconds tops of a DRD sadly singing 1812 Overture as it died of radiation damage until I’d have to climb into the fuckin condiut myself to save it
I don’t think leading a platoon of Stormtroopers into the conduit would fix anything.
But radiation would damage electronics too, and Data is irreplaceable
Possibly, but you know who has a history of surviving things that would kill any other crew member and has exhibited at least incredible radiation resistance even in that very same episode?
Also, it’s very un-starfleet to consider one member of the crew more irreplaceable or valuable than any other, even if it is true.
Meanwhile on the USS Voyager:
Tuvok and Chakatoy encounter each other in the hallway near Holodeck 1.
Tuvok: Commander, I am concerned about the Captain’s continuous holodeck usage. She has not exited the room for the past three hours, and I believe it may be inhibiting the effective operation of the ship.
Chakatoy: It’s been a rough week. I’m sure she’s just blowing off some steam.
Suddenly, they heard muffled noises through the holodeck door.
Tuvix: I have a right to live!
(Excessive machine gun noises)
Chakotay taps his combadge.
Chakotay: Doctor, can you come to holodeck 1? I think something’s wrong with the captain.
(No offense to Janeway. Just a fun caricature.)
