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.
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.
Todd is a railroading DM.
I don’t blame Fawkes.
