Forum:Fawkes gender developer quote

Our reference for the gender issue on the Fawkes article page has been purged from the Bethesda forums. Anyone got the text saved somewhere? I'm going to leave the broken reference there as a reminder until we find a replacement.--Gothemasticator 20:54, March 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * The text can be found in this talk page section (in the middle). Unfortunately, I don't remember which dev posted it; I think it was Pagliarulo but I wouldn't bet any money on it. -- Porter21 (talk) 20:17, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Judging by this discussion, it was Gstaff who posted it (after getting confirmation from Pagliarulo). -- Porter21 (talk) 20:34, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've done some searching, and all I can find so far are appearances with us as the source. I'll see if Gstaff is interested in restoring the interview or at least providing a current link.Gothemasticator 21:40, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, the quote from Pagliarulo came from an email from him to Gstaff - an email which is gone now. And the recent upgrade that the Bethesda forums underwent (as well as their regular purging of older threads) means that our linked source is indeed gone. Gstaff did provide this lulzy twitter post. :) --Gothemasticator 04:49, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Maybe we could reference the game guide instead? I don't know whether it has any info on Fawkes' gender (I currently have no access to my copy), but if it has, it'd be a good source. Truth be told, the whole "Fawkes is female" theory is easily refuted with ingame info anyway but since it's such a persistent urban myth a clear source would be good. -- Porter21 (talk) 10:53, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Although not able to join you immediately, once you’re back in the Wasteland after visiting Vault 87, Fawkes is waiting for you, assists in battling adversaries keen on your destruction, and then offers to swing his giant hammer as often as you’ll let him. There's one quote from the official game suide I found within about five seconds, so you can refer to the game guide on the issue without hesitation. StarfishCostume
 * Thank you for looking that up!--Gothemasticator 16:22, March 29, 2010 (UTC)
