I’m feeling especially masochistic today, and as a result, I’m supplying you guys with the second update of the day.
Part 13 – The Conversation
At the end of the previous episode, we escaped the Matrix and freed Daddy Neeson.
And now, we’ve come to the section the entire game has been leading up to: meeting up with Daddy Neeson again!!
DADDY!!!
Well, it’s not like the game actually gave us the choice not to save you.
FACT: I have no idea why the word ‘DOING’ needs to be in capital letters.
We were rescuing you, you moron.
You lied to me. Why you lie to me?
You must understand. As much as I love you, this project has been my responsibility since long before you were even born.
So what? Why couldn’t you just tell me about it before?
I just wanted to keep you safe.
I think that’s a pretty lame excuse.
Anyway, what made you abandon the Purity project and head for the Vault 19 years ago?
In the year before you were born, things became difficult.
Not only that, research on the project also practically come to a halt.
And then, you were born.
Doctor Li and her team left for Rivet City after that and Project Purity had been put on hold ever since.
It doesn’t seem to have worked very well.
Well, it might’ve been a lot tougher to find you if not for the all-knowing quest compass...
It seems that my plan was not as successful as I imagined it would be.
Dude, you left me stuck in the vault with a psycho Overseer who tried to kill me after you left!!
I didn’t expect him to react like that.
Dude, this is Fallout 3. Were you expecting him to react reasonably?
FACT: If my kid said that to me, I’d slap him in the face.
I’m sorry you feel that way, son.
Anyway, you came here looking for Dr. Braun’s research, right? Did you find anything before he enslaved you?
FACT: Madison is Dr. Li’s first name.
Do we really have to go back to Rivet City? I hated that place.
Yes, we do.
Anyway, didn’t you say that you wanted to beat up daddy when you found him?
Yeah. Let’s do it. :D
So, we shoot him a bunch of times with our assault rifle.
And just like the last time we tried this (in Part 2), he is immortal and simply goes ‘unconscious’.
:D
So... you feel better now?
Yeah. :D
Anyway, we head over to the science lab in Rivet City:
As we enter the lab, we see Daddy Neeson and Dr. Li have a conversation with each other.
James, I’d like to believe you. But, this all just so... so sudden.
I like how Daddy Neeson doesn’t even hesitate to trust the research or words of a deranged psycho who just tried to enslave him.
I don’t know. So many years have passed. Do you really think it’s still possible?
Of course I do. I wouldn’t be asking you for help if I didn’t believe in this.
A GECK is the piece of technology that Dr. Braun was developing.
I know, I was thinking about that. The lab at the old facility had some old pre-war computers. One of them might’ve had information about it!
Ok. Let’s head over there.
I love this logic: ‘There’s no power and we can’t access any of the computers at the lab. Therefore, we must head over there ASAP!!’
:facepalm:
After the two of them are done with their conversation, we talk to them:
Well, you kinda told us where he went. Why the hell are you surprised that we found him?
Anyway, what do you think of daddy’s plan? Is it as inane as it sounds?
She doesn’t really have anything more to tell us.
So... let’s talk to daddy:
It might be dangerous, but we have to try, don’t we?
We need to get moving right away. Are you coming with us?
Hold on a sec. Is the game actually giving us an option? Until this point, we’ve had no choice but to follow dad’s footsteps. Can we actually refuse to follow him this time? :hope:
Maybe Bethesda is actually improving!!
Let’s tell him ‘no’ and see what happens. Perhaps there is actually some meaningful C&C in this game?
:sigh:
That was disappointing.
Anyway, we head over to the old lab as the game forced us to do.
We find our friends are standing outside the building’s entrance.
Why you guys just standing outside? Why don’t you start your research or whatever?
I hate to put you in harm’s way, but you seem to have learned how to handle yourself.
You’ve lied to me my entire lives and abandoned me recently. Why should I help you?
Please tell me this isn’t just another ‘fake choice’. Please?
:sigh:
Lame.
End of Part 13.
Anyway, I’m getting a little bored of the main quest.
So, next update, I’m gonna do the Oasis side quest.
