Argh that was so frustrating-- His story seemed so tailored to help you specifically with that problem, and I felt so clever for trudging across the map to get him for that situation… It felt like a prank when he’s just like “oh great idea but no because reasons.”
the fact that we still remember these characters is such a testament to the writing of NV, it’s straight up the fellowship of the ring to the post-postapocalypse genre
I believe her companion story involved choosing whether or not to treat her worsening nightkin psychosis with the consequence that treatment would make her forget her grandkids
Yeah it’s not selfless to enter a situation in which one person (you) will absolutely 110% die, when there’s someone right next to you who is 100% immune to the very thing that will kill you.
In fact, I would say that anyone in that situation who wouldn’t immediately let everyone know “hey I’ll be perfectly fine doing this, so stand back I got this” is kind of a piece of shit.
It’s literally “I would suffer no I’ll effects by doing this, but it wasn’t built by MY dad so go fucking kill yourself with it, tiny humie”
That’s was such a fo3 copout. The dumbest.
Poetic writing though, better than most other Bethesda writing.

Wasn’t Fawkes a woman? ETA: no, just looked it up. The character was supposed to be male. Wonder why I was thinking that…
According to some deleted holotapes he was security in Vault 87 before he was turned. He was a guy.

It’s NV. You’re thinking of Lily the nightkin companion

She is a grandma! Not just dressed up

New Vegas had a bit of a modding Renaissance, it’s in the absolute golden age of modding. Incredible stuff being done with it.
There’s one or two female super mutants in New Vegas, so you might be thinking of them.

I also thought Fawkes was a woman for some reason

at least Broken Steel exists to have him actually accept helping you…
except the game will still berate you for not being selfless.

If they wanted you to die they should have come up with some reason why only you could do it. Like it could only respond to your DNA or something.

The thing is, the game was rigged from the start…
I played first time with the game of the year edition and felt massively cheated by that.

Absolutely.
They fixed it in the Tale of Two Wastelands megamod though, amongst many other things.
ToTW with DLC is the only good way to replay 3 and a damn fine way of replaying NV too if you ask me. Even if you don’t!
Edit: oops, seems it was Broken Steel that fixed that part. I stand by the rest, though.
TTW is GOATed. There are tons of mods that make it a far better experience now, too.
