    Spoilers ahead, obviously.

    Fallout 3

    The “good” ending as a reward for doing everything right is basically suicide for the greater good.

    Even if you have a specific NPC follower who can do the same thing unharmed, the epilogue text and voice-over basically calls you a coward for making the rational choice to have him do it and pretends that it killed him even though, as established, it doesn’t harm him at all.

        Maybe that’s one of the many things fixed in Tale of Two Wastelands.

        I remember ages ago when I first played it, there was no other benevolent option, but I didn’t have Fawkes with me back then as I’d failed part of his quest.

        Earlier this year, I did a ToTW replay of 3 and NV where I brought him with me and was able to have him go in there, thus saving my character but being branded a coward in the epilogue lol
