Spoilers for a 13 year old game that got retconned anyways
For those who don't know, at the end of Fallout 3 you have to go into a heavily irradiated room to prevent a big water purifier from exploding. Your character will die but your act of self-sacrifice gives everyone in the wasteland clean water which had been very rare up to that point. However it's been previously established (explicitly and several times) that supermutants are immune to radiation, and the game has a very prominent supermutant companion: Fawkes. You would think you could just ask Fawkes to go into the radiation chamber, but no, you get this incredibly stupid line and are forced to kill yourself. Fawkes up to this point has been very selfless and one of the kindest characters in the game.
Like how do you fuck up writing your game so badly this situation is even possible?!
Hear me out: The Star Wars Prequels got reassessed first as cringe humor, but theres also an appreciation of bad film making that feels more sincere, in its badness, specifically in comparison to todays MCU landscape.
I think the overall vision for the PT, and the basic wireframe of the narrative, had a ton of potential. The last years of the corrupt republic, the Clone Wars, the role of Jedi and Sith in that conflict, and the expanded lore from that era is all cooler and more interesting than just about any of the capeshit schock blockbuster studios make nowadays.
Too bad Lucas botched it with first draft scripts written a week before filming started and apparently without the same creative drive that helped create the magic of the OT in the first place.
