Spoilers ahead obviously if you care about the main campaign.
Ok, so everything was going fine story wise until I got to raven rock and started talking to the president. After he told me about how he will save washington DC with my help, and how he is the embodiment of George Washington and all our other greatest presidents I get to my conversation tree and choose the option
"No, you can't do this, you need to destroy yourself and all of raven rock, disband the enclave and get rid of everything you've been working for for the past 200 years!"
".....Ok. Screw my ideals. I'll do it since you asked nicely.". And then I leave and the place blows up....what the hell?
So then I go through the mission to get to the purifier and the at the end Some one has to go in and activate the purifier, but oh no, it's heavily irradiated in there! No problem, I've got Fawkes the radiation proof Mutant who has done stuff like this for me in the past, go to it fawks, I'll tell you how.....wait no, not an option. I have to choose between one of us two frail humans, no problem. I've got a radiation suit packed away here and bunch of Rad-X and RadAway...I'll do it. See the radiation doesn't even hurt now. I'll just walk in here press the button and.....I'm dead....for no logical reason.
The whole bit with the computer made little sense, I didn't even have high charisma or speech skills and I just told him to self destruct and for no apparent reason the two hundred year old president decided to kill himself and everything he's worked to create, because in two sentences I convinced him the error of his ways.
Then I have to die by radiation in two seconds even though I have a radiation proof partner and a radiation suit and anti-radiation drugs. Of all the possibilities (or lack there of in this case) it came down to that. Major lack of freedom to choose the ending.
Wondering around the wasteland is great fun, getting to be a part of the world, do jobs, explore, ect ect is great. But that storyline was weaksauce. And the end was just dumb as hell.
