LENTINESE

Old thread but just got around playing the game today contemplating the same... Here are my two cents... Lets consider a few things. We dont need harold to fix the wasteland's nature. You are on a mission to get this G E C K which is a terraforming tool. Further more project purity removes radiation from water to make it safe to drink. In Dr Li's lab, fresh vegetables are present which means that at the present time there is the possibility to revive the wasteland even IF the main quest for any reason failed. Why go through all this BS when we could just mutate Harold? Because the right thing is never the smartest decision nor the easiest. If this were a real scenario it would be our fault this crap happened and made the wasteland. Should we blame the government? The enclave? The communist? Are we above such people? I know a thing or two about human nature. The feeling of superiority always causes conflict. Whether it is because we believe we are stronger or simply better in any aspect to someone else or a group of people. Its how this all started. Everyone knew what was happening before the great war. End Harold's life, stop blaming people, stop rationalizing reasons to "use" this opportunity for good, opportunity makes man a thief and in this case you are going to what? Steal his choice with pretty words or against his will for the "greater good"? Good n evil is a childish notion. I am sure he is aware of the impact he would have on the wasteland. Yet he wants to die. Dont guilt trip him, dont burn the poor bastard, lets be responsible adults and fix our mistakes. We are all accountable in my mind.
