Forum:FEV in water supply or pure water?

Ok im a neutral character and i was wondering if i should infect the water or purify it? what are the pros and cons? will any one know that i did it? who will it piss off and does everyone die or what? remember im trying to be chaotic neutral. What did you guys do? JimmyDreznaut017 02:33, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

Well, it depends. Do you have Broken Steel? if you don't put the virus in, you will not gain or lose Karma, but it decides if you put in the code by yourself or not. If you DO put it in, the water will have a virus. No one will die, some people will be sick though. Putting Virus in: Pros: Um, bad karma if you want it. I really don't have a good reason Cons: Bad Karma, and it's kinda sad. Keeping water pure: Pros: Some Megaton settlers will give you random stuff (stimpacks, ammo. ect.) and clean water (not everywhere though) Cons: Good Karma(if your an evil person) and if you hate people having clean water. I would just put it in, oh and it affects your ending! But I don't get what you mean by "chaotic neutral." I like me 04:00, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

yes, i have broken steel. I thought ghouls and supermutants might die cause its supposed to kill all unpure people. theres no good reason to do it? Chaotic neutral= me, not good/not bad. i like factions and people to be even but laws and controlling power is bad to me. so things should be chaotic and less stable.JimmyDreznaut017 22:12, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

It is the bad Karma option, all the Super Mutants, Ghouls and cannbals/vampires (I assumed from the little film that is played) will die except your followers it seems. My husband just did it with Fawkes and he/she is still alive. Not sure about Charon. You'll get the little interlude that gives the history of your life in the game so far and it will talk about how you killed all those with mutated genes. I think Three Dog also mentions how messed up it is on the radio. If you are friendly with Ghouls and Cannibals you may not want to do this.--ShadowSentinel 17:24, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

If you infect the water then places like the underworld it basically becomes a morgue, you will be able to see sick ghouls. Also I think the megaton clinic becomes a morgue also. (You know what a morgue is right? A place where bodies are held for burials) Also I do not think it evens decreases the number of ghouls, super mutants, etc. Do you really want that to happen? Cleaning the water supply just doesnt make morgues and you can drink the water around the jefferson memorial without taking radiation, as long as you have Broken Steel. I'd say clean it you heartless devils.

Well if you infect it, there will be sick people all over the place , and also if you drink too much of it from inventory water bottles , you die ! so i would recommend purifying it, and also since you like a chaotic wasteland , i would also recommend purifying , because some folks might fight to control the water supply , and it would be more chaotic :P
