The moment that inspired this question:
A long time ago I was playing an MMO called Voyage of the Century Online. A major part of the game was sailing around on a galleon ship and having naval battles in the 1600s.
The game basically allowed you to sail around all of the oceans of the 1600s world and explore. The game was populated with a lot of NPC ships that you could raid and pick up its cargo for loot.
One time, I was sailing around the western coast of Africa and I came across some slavers. This was shocking to me at the time, and I was like “oh, I’m gonna fuck these racist slavers up!”
I proceed to engage the slave ship in battle and win. As I approach the wreckage, I’m bummed out because there wasn’t any loot. Like every ship up until this point had at least some spare cannon balls or treasure, but this one had nothing.
… then it hit me. A slave ship’s cargo would be… people. I sunk this ship and the reason there wasn’t any loot was because I killed the cargo. I felt so bad.
I just sat there for a little while and felt guilty, but I always appreciated that the developers included that detail so I could be humbled in my own self-righteousness. Not all issues can be solved with force.
Fallout 3, The Pitt DLC. Deciding whether to take the baby.
Interesting. I have 100% in this game but all I remember of that dlc is wishing it would end sooner because it wasn’t any fun.
The baby part is near the end, so if you had already mentally checked out hours ago it probably didn’t impact you much. It’s a decent DLC, I think hampered by a frankly, ugly environment, but it was supposed to be ugly, so I suppose they succeeded.
A lot of people consider the pitt to be the best fo3 dlc (aside from Broken Steel)
