^ ^ ^ ^ -- Yeah, it would be really hard to make a romantic story work in the "choose a response from the dialogue options provided" format. The chances of it coming out corny or downright annoying are so high...

They probably considered it, but maybe it's better in our imaginations than it would be if they tried to spell it all out.
Rpg's do show how you can make pretty detailed characters with just a few lines of speech, though.

well this is just me. im also a good guy but well grouse's price was way to expensive so i enslaved everyone necessary but then i got bored with paradise falls fairly quickly since my character' charma is "very good" (want to stay that way while enslaving people? water beggars+ scrap metal to walter+ confessor cromwell and well enslaving wont make a dent in your karma :celebration: ) so i went inside the advlt slaves area freed everyone and armed them with power armor heavy guns small guns and grenades such as:
red:BoS power armor combat shotgun and 3 grenades
arkansas: minigun, outcast power armor nuff said
flak:tesla armor FRIGGIN FATMAN :nuke: 3 6 mininukes and a chinese assault rifle
susan lancaster: meh <_< i dont like [censored]s so i just gave her a combat knife and talon combat armor. basically she just went like this for the duration of the assault :ahhh:

when i overthrew paradise falls i had chinese stealth armor. i had 100 sneak, i saved, and did a shady sands shuffle (place a grenade in a pocket) on everyone in there. if you are succesful, then stand completly still, they will get to be cautious but they wont catch you unless you move or reload. if you fail, reload the save.
