Aight, we're in the Cryo Labs with that guy from Anchorage. We promised him to release his apparently frozen team from cryostasis, because it was either this dialogue option or some retarded opposite choice of being some inane dick that BioWare would percieve as very evil.
So we might as well help those fucktards.
Turns out there are much more abductees on that ship.
Only raiders, feral ghouls and super mutants there to release. Don't know why you'd do that. No secret loot afaik, or any reward whatsoever, you can just release them and kill them. THAT'S IT.
Yeah, otherwise we would get evil karma for killing them. Because they are really fucking innocent. Bethtards
There's got to be a way to revive them with their memories intact so they won't attack us on sight.
I think I may be able to use this medical equipment to bring them out of stasis properly.
How long can they last if you revive them?
I don't know for certain. I can get them on their feet and moving for maybe a few minutes at best.
HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW TH--
There's no way for me to tell what the aliens have already subjected them to. I can't understand these readouts. Their pain could be horrible.
Not as much as mine is, I believe.
This technology is out of my league so I'm just going to have to improvise. It's the best I can do.
Revive them and let them fight with us.
I'm going to need to watch their vitals carefully as I use the medical console to pump them full of the correct fluids and bring them back.
Don't know why you would do that.
<takes deep breath>
And we're out.
He's limping, btw. Apparently, he's not essential, but I believe his death isn't of any consequence.
After that, he can make us some Cryo Grenades and Mines you can use against the enemies. Don't know why you would do that when there's the god mode to dull the pain.
In case Bethtards got lost in the majesticness.
I thought I'd look for that General Chase Overcoat in the Storage, which is a side area, but I didn't find it.
Garbage is constantly falling down this whole. Yeah, that's Yao Guai. There are also Brahmins falling down. Because it's very funny.
<takes deep breath>
Some deep insight from the team members:
FUCK YOU.
For the next few minutes, we gotta press those buttons to blow incoming Alien attacks like a pinball.
That was... something.
Some deep insight regarding Toshiro Kago:
All we got to do is push three of those.
Apparently, they activated the Death Ray to blow up the Earth in retaliation. We pissed them off.
That's what we released by blowing up the local generator:
Human + Alien =
Feral Ghoul reskin Abomination. In the meanwhile, my karma dropped to neutral, because I killed the poor, unarmed aliens that were doing that all along.
We also get to listen the recordings that shed some light and provide some insight on the horrific experiments that happened here.
That's the Death Ray control center. In order to disable it, we've got to blow not one, not two, but FOUR GENERATORS!
How cool is that?
But it wouldn't be Fallout 3 without some awesome explosions, now would it?
Let us test the inconceivable power of the DEATH R--
We had to blow it up anyway. Now, let us finish this once an for all
...
Blaaaaaaghhh!!!
...
.......
.................
Now, the final showdown.
As we can see, we can kill the final boss with three bullets.
BUT WHAT THE-
COULD THIS BE THE END OF CAPTAIN COSMOS AND HIS FRIENDS???
We have to distribute the powah to Zeta's shields when we're about to get hit and then into the weapon systems to attack the enemy ship-
-DIDN'T WE JUST BLOW UP THE DEATH RAY A WHILE AGO?!?? HOW DOES THIS WORK?!??! ANYONE?
Sigh...
...
.......
At this point, I can't even describe the majesticness.
Now, the feedback:
Yeah, we sort of accidentally something of some kind to conveniently return to the base game. Great job Bethesduh.
Great job indeed. But was it really worth it? The victory is satisfying, true, particularly the part where we one-shotted the final boss... and yet, I cannot bring myself to fully appreciate the majesticness of this wonderful adventure when confronted with personal tragedies around me, as the end is quite bittersweet:
Truly worthy of such mature setting like this.
But let us not worry about petty things! For it is the time for happiness and joy! We completed the Mothership Zeta! We deserve a Medal of Honor for such a feat, really.
At this point, I don't know what to make of the video game industry. We're not talking about some niche abomination like Limbo of the Lost, it's AAA title that was done by "professionals" and scores perfect 10s around the world. Where's this all going to? Will it be forgotten over the years, or will it be recognized as an undisputable classic and the milestone in this industry?
Discuss. Thanks for reading! And sorry for the delays, but it wasn't as enjoyable for me as I thought it would be when I began with Operation: Anchorage a few pages back. I know that's not really an excuse, but I hope you'll understand.
Comments are much appreciated, as always.
