…and quicksave…
I would argue it’s not for “no reason”. I think the biggest driving force is that it’s a rarity you’re allowed such freedom so when the opportunity actually presents itself it makes sense to take it since it likely won’t be around again anytime soon.
“Do you feel like a hero yet?” - Spec Ops: The Line
When I play Fallout (3, NV, 4), I am a horrific monster. I will stalk NPCs for quite a while, doing my best to stay hidden. I watch them interact with other NPCs. I follow them to a secluded place, and they are mine. It’s always a melee weapon of some kind. First, I feast. If I have Dine and Dash, I’ll always save it for later. Then, I will strip and dismember the remains. If I’m able to ensare multiple targets in a close proximity, I will make a pile before the dismemberment for others to find. Otherwise, I’ll drag them away where nobody will ever find them. Sometimes, if it’s a really good day, it can be entire settlements.
may I have your address so I can contact the local authorities? thanks
