Heh.
Also being able to kill kids. Or kids appearing at all.
One of my fondest memories of FO2 is shooting the brains out of the kid who pickpockets you.
...
Maybe I shouldn't say fondest.
Also selling your shotgun wife / husband to slavery. Hehehehe.
*Miria misses yet another shot with her SMG*
BEHOLD THE PRICE OF FAILURE.
But that's why I got the Miria mod, she actually gets some skill in small guns so she's not just a pretty face/meatshield/convenient source of money.
Also, if you want those kids in the Den to stop pickpocketing you, just punch one in the face. Restraint, son. Or reverse pickpocket a live bomb into their inventories.
I was quite young when I played it. It really is one of my fondest memories as it was my first playthrough of the game and since this was back when the internet wasn't a real thing (at least where I was) I had no clue what this game was about.
All I knew was that it was an RPG with guns.
Until I reached that point the game was fairly standard. Other than the fact that you could get washed at a bathhouse if you know what I mean (I had no clue what was really happening back then. I was wondering why you'd pay people to wash you).
Then I got to the Den and one of the first thing that happens is some kid runs up and steals your shit. I go apeshit and shoot him. Then he dies. Then inevitably I have to kill everyone who saw this.
So I basically killed everyone in the Den and continued the game as usual. Even beat the game and the ending credits told me how the Den got owned. I missed out on everything that happened in that town because I murdered everyone.
It might not seem like a big deal to the modern day gamer but this was a massive deal to me. I'd never played a game where I could do that before and the game even accounted for me murdering everyone. So much freedom. If it was a JRPG it would probably have been something where I would chase the thief down and eventually she (it's always a she) would join my party. Here I fucking killed him. Then I had to kill everyone else. The epilogue was especially important as it emphasized to me how much I fucked over that town. Even today I struggle to think of other games where this can happen naturally without scripting.
