I'm pretty sure there's a Bethesda employee who's a fan of Dead like Me...
So I'm running around the Commonwealth, minding my own business, shooting baddies. I see a Vertibird fighting it out with some baddies off in the distance. Good stuff. I continue on my way. Oops the Vertibird has been hit - it's going down. It's not that close so I don't pay it any mind. Then I look up. You've got to be kidding me! Sure enough, BANG! It lands right on top of me. Massive damage but it doesn't kill me.
A few days later, I'm cautiously approaching an encampment. I'm sneaking as I know there are lot of tough gunners and I'm trying to figure out the best way to approach. A Vertibird is engaging another group in the distance. It gets hit. I watch it. At first it moves off, but then it swings around... Sure enough, it's headed straight for me, again. This time I run, but it still hits close to me and does some damage. Worst of all, it made me run into the baddies I was stalking and now I'm in the middle of a gun fight.
Seriously?!
