Fallout 4 the most messed up thing in the game
In Fallout 4*, the Sole Survivor’s journey through the Commonwealth is filled with morally complex decisions, but few are as deviously dark as the option to show companions the preserved corpse of their spouse in Vault 111. This sinister move taps into the game’s deep lore and emotionally charged narrative. Players who choose this path engage in a form of psychological warfare, dragging companions like Piper, Preston Garvey, or even Paladin Danse to the vault where the Sole Survivor's journey began. The act itself requires a grim pilgrimage back to Vault 111, bypassing the shattered remnants of Sanctuary Hills and the iconic Red Rocket Truck Stop. Upon reaching the vault, players must navigate the frozen corridors, still echoing with the chilling memory of *I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire by The Ink Spots, to unveil the gruesome sight.
What makes this action especially vile is the amount of effort required to carry it out, highlighting the player's intent. It’s not just a simple dialog choice but a calculated act requiring travel across the Wasteland, often through hazardous territories like Super Mutant-infested Lexington or the perilous Glowing Sea. Companions' reactions, ranging from shocked silence to outright disgust, underscore the brutality of this decision. For instance, Nick Valentine, with his old-world sensibilities, might give a somber reflection, while someone like Curie could be deeply disturbed, given her idealistic nature. This level of manipulation taps into the darker aspects of the Fallout series' moral ambiguity, rivaling the ethical weight of perks like Black Widow or the trigger-pulling decisions in The Institute's labyrinthine corridors.
Moreover, the act of showing the spouse's corpse plays into the game's broader themes of loss and revenge. This option forces the Sole Survivor to confront the macabre reality of their personal vendetta against the Institute. Such choices can be seen as akin to wielding the Rock-It Launcher*—turning anything, even the memory of loved ones, into a weapon. It’s a chilling reminder that in the Wasteland, humanity's moral compass is as scattered as the ruins of Boston, and the lines between survival and cruelty are often blurred. As the haunting strains of *Maybe echo through the Pip-Boy’s radio, this option exemplifies how far one might go to assert dominance or simply indulge in the darkest recesses of a post-apocalyptic psyche.
