There's also the genetic purity test which asks if you had sex with nonhumans.

They don't give a shit though. And I brought synth Curie. They just don't care. I saw a video (and experienced it myself) "I Don't Want to be in The Brotherhood"
The guy picked every option that could piss them off, wore synth armor, brought Strong and guess what?
No thing.
Even Doc Mitchell has additional dialogue if you do that sort of thing.

Yeah, the Main Quest has a serious issue with wanting you to be with every faction before you choose one. And you know what's weird? If you bring your Courser Companion, he turns hostile against you and the Brotherhood massacres him.

At least if you bring Nick, he makes some comments about how much they're assholes.

Boone. Does the Courser have a conversation with you before doing so? Can you sweet talk him (Hah) to stay low, swearing that you'll screw them later? Can the Courser even die? Can you throw him off the goddamn Zeppelin?
Could he escape with a Vertibird and sink the ship?
I might know the answer already

Only if it's not bugged.

That might be as bad as the Flamer of Freezing.

Then you get the fanboys saying "it's just a game bro it can be silly" - except it's not a fanboy, it's Bethesda saying that.

They opened the floodgates by disavowing internal logic/consistency and now anything goes in Fallout. Pretty soon Fallout will be filled with so much "silliness" that the people saying "it's just a game, it's allowed to be fun and silly" will realize why that's a bad attitude when crafting a fictional universe.

For me fallout was a depiction that was based on what would actual happen to some extent, of course theres things that funny ect that makes the whole world more believable that people have't completely lost there sense of humor
 
All I know is Tim Cain said he made Fallout to be a megaviolent game of murder and death, so Bethesda got one thing right.

Fallout is THE game of megaviolence.

You took that WAY out of context. One, he didn't say that he made the game to be violent, but that one of his colleague wrote an article describing the game as megaviolent which it is to some degree. But let's not pretend that this is anything other then a marketing trick. The article is literally 'top reasons to play Fallout'.

Why does "funny violence" is ever advertised, shilled from Todd Howard personally as a feature and supported by bethesda fans? Violence is not funny. In better games, like Deus Ex or (keep your rotten tomatoes please) The Last of Us violence is used to be create an usettling atmosphere and question the player about his actions. Half-Life despite keeping detailed body parts, never puts it in the context of action. Even Blood uses violence and gore to build the atmosphere of horror in the right way rather than shilling it as a blast. Only in the absolute fucking shit titles-franchises like The Elder ShitsScrolls which were evolved from the general and generally not bad on it's own idea of gladiator arena fights violence is something passed as fun and good entertaiment. In fact, the only title in this bullshit series that doesn't shills itself an edgy blood and erotica entertaiment is Morrowind which is rather strange but also refreshing change.

Is every Bethesda or Elder Scrolls fan a closet sadist with railway carriage long bag of hidden complexes (including Todd CHoward)? Or just manchilds? Stay away from Fallout please, you are shading our reputation, "Fallout" fans, so to speak.

And it's not even demanding violence, all it requires us to break buttons and stock Stims/Health Potions.

In the other hand :self pat:

The feel/purpose of combat can as well not be shoved on your face, and mean more in the particular world, so in Souls it makes you feel like a leaf on a storm, you are struggling against overpowering odds; Demons, Gods, Dragons, your crazed fellow man, the decay of the world itself, the Abyss and the Deep and remnants of lost armies. You are not important, merely a fool holding onto a vague prophecy. When you die, the camera lets you see whoever killed you go back to their business. The world is indifferent about you, and when someone praises you and sends you to accomplish your fate, they may not be entirely sincere to you. Even if you read among the lines, people like you (other players/characters that never beat the game), either died in their last "life" or just quit hope and Hollowed when leaving the game.

And of course, instead of being thematically adequate, it can be amazing fun too, but well done and staying true to the franchise. DOOM, Infamous, Roguelikes and Saints Row may offer "Hilarious Violence", but it's really worked upon and given options.
Bethesda action, consists in spawning in deathclaws and make them kill people, place 30 mines in a spot or Fat Man a town (at no consequence or deaths). That's mostly it.

Exactly. In fact, Skyrim in particular can go as far as being ignorant to viking culture portraying them in such ugly and one-sided tiny angled view of just murderers making fun going full violence since the game has nothing else meaningful to offer in terms of gameplay. And still daring to call itself RPG.
