Just curious.
Most times, good or evil, I will enter the chamber and deal with it. I have a hard time with making someone else deal. I always hesitate, then usually choose myself to enter.
One time I sent in Sarah. Super evil character, I cackled when I sent her in. I felt pretty horrible afterwards when I talked to Elder Lyons. Ugghh. Really horrible.
Last night I sent in Fawkes.
So I tell him to do it, he kinda rolls his shoulders forward, like he's resigned to do it, and I start to feel bad, then he runs super fast into the chamber, and I close the door before I can change my mind.
Then he gets to the control panel. And the music is getting louder and louder, and it's getting mistier and mistier and I'm starting to take 2 RADS per sec thru the glass, and he punches two numbers and then.... stops, reaches up and scratches his head!!!! And he's looking up into space and I want to bang on the glass and scream WTF it's three numbers dude get going!!!
Then he looks down, and then he presses like five numbers... lmao, and then does the super mutant equivalent of holding his chin, and musing into the air as if to say, "What was it again?" And now I'm wishing for a bash button so I can bang on the glass, then he actually kicks the control panel and it starts working. The whole time, I'm rolling with laughter, as I've never seen this before.

TLDR Anybody see cool animations of your followers when you send them into the purifier? When I sent Sarah in, she walked in and hit it. When I sent Fawkes in, see above, hilarity ensued.

That's hilarious! I sent RL-3 in there awhile back, but I don't recall anything quite as funny. I think I'm going to send Fawkes in when I do my DiD run for the challenge just so I can witness that.

That's funny, Maybe I'll send Fawkes in this time, lol.

I usually do it myself. Well, I can't die, so why not. Get the glory myself.
I feel a bit bad about sending some in.
Feel bad about sending Sarah Lyons in.
And I can't poison the water for Eden with someone else, I think.

I like the big lug Fawkes so I can never send him in. I wish I could tell Star Paladin Cross to activate the stupid thing but since I can't I"ll settle for pushing Sarah in there.
I had this grand plan one time of sending Lyons Pride on the march to the purifier wearing only their underwear and with rolling pins at weapons. Sadly, if you take their gear away beforehand it gets readded to them when you come back to the laboratory for the cutscene with Elder Lyons.

Lmao. So.... you tried this? Lol. And....

I sent Fawkes in, my last playthrough as well. Makes perfect sense for him to go in, and he even agrees with the decision, so Ron Pearlman can eat an egg for what he said in the ending slide show.

I did! As soon as I got to the Citadel for the first time in that game, I took the armor and weapons away from all of Lyons Pride. It was great! They hung out in their Underoos with their trusty rolling pins and everything was fine. When I came back after Vault 87, they all had their default gear again which would never do so as we were all running up the stairs and through the courtyard, I managed to strip two or three of them again and give them more rolling pins but when we went through the gate to the Wasteland, their power armor was readded to them again. I was really bummed about that

Lol. Sounds like my mysterious disappearing battle at the Super Duper... I used set up an Enclave force, then a raider force equipped with Enclave gear, all on 360 mind you, but the battles only occur two or three times at most, before they all go back to default packages.

I used to do that when I played on 360 too. I'd drag some Talons over there with the Raiders and I lured over a Mutie from the river. Every three days, I'd fast-travel in while wearing the Chinese Stealth Suit and watch the chaos.
When you drag people and creatures away from their normal spawn points and kill them, once they respawn they try to run back to their original starting point in the game. That's why they slowly disappear from the battle. I once dragged an Enclave soldier with a Gatling Laser from that post next to Girdershade with the Deathclaws all the way to Big Town for a battle I staged there. Big Town is great for that sort of thing because you can easily trap the only exit with mines ensuring your playthings can't escape.

Well now... I've always done the Super Duper, cuz I have the beatdown raider initiation near Grandma Sparkles, the raiders at the parking lot and then two enclave camps up the road towards the B&B. And an albino radscorpion and a deathclaw at that barn... this part is the frustrating part, dragging all those bodies and then dealing with those things at the same time.

I'll give it a shot in Big Town, thanks for the tip. Didn't you change your avatar for a couple of days?

Wow that svcks having an albino and a deathclaw both there. I've seen both but never at the same time there. Do they fight each other? Another place that would be good for battles would be at Paradise Falls between the gate and Grouse. You'd have to sacrifice PF and drag all of the bodies way back by the PF gate with lots of mines going back toward the entrance to keep the caravans safe from the mayhem but it's an option if you don't want to lose the people at Big Town. I'd rather use Big Town since they get wiped out so often by wandering enemies as it is. I've seen the Muties from the tractor trailer over the hill waltz calmly up the road, into Big Town, slaughter everyone and walk back to the truck. Crazy.

I just changed my avatar to Rarity for April Fools Day to go along with all of the My Little Pony silliness in Community Discussion that day. Back to Anja now. Everyone still knows me by her even though I haven't played her in two years.

Sometimes they fight each other. Most of the time I have to deal with them. I guess their AI hatred for me is greater than their AI hatred for each other.
Can't sacrifice PF. Those are my homies. Big Town it is.
Yeah, that was.....weird. Page after page of pony threads, I was like wtf?!!! lol
