Tragedy befalls an ally in the metro tunnels, thanks to an amazing bug that I don't remember seeing before. Now that I think about it, I kind of do remember reavers spazzing out like this way back in the day, mostly in Point Lookout. Arriving at Adams Airforce Base.
I actually reloaded despite my commitment to keeping the consequences e.g. what happened at Big Town, but did so because I thought that reaver was actually invincible. Somehow, in that one session I did while feeling too sick to play Morrowind, I actually thought I was going to be able to make it through this entire thing at that time.
