You might say this mod is pretty RAD... alright I'll stop.

Local bug rocks the wasteland like a hurricane. (This joke only works if you know the bands name)

I can imagine Shaun being quite horrified to learn that the moment his Father, who he was trying to save and reunite with by disengaging his cryo chamber in the vault, immediately mutated into a horrifying monster upon coming into contact with the Commonwealth's severe radiation.

What makes this better is when you remember that Fallout 2 had a super intelligent rad scorpion that beats everyone at chess. So this run could be considered canon

"See the scorpion? No matter how many enemies, it continues on. It is strong, yes. It is fast, but do you know why the scorpion is feared? It's will."

[medical-cyanide]

It’s amusing to imagine the original sole survivor got instantly bodied by a rad scorpion and said scorpion decided that Shaun was their kid and they must eat

Imagine defending the last of your men from raiders and seeing a radscorpion not only kill the raiders, but ask to help you more.

You could have used the Cannibal perk to heal your self and it would fit the run cuz Radscorpions hunt and eat humans.

Maxson: "You were to infiltrate the institute, find Doctor Li, and convince her to return to the Brotherhood. I'm extremely disappointed in you."
Scorpion: "I stand by my actions, sir."

This interaction is amazing, that Maxson decided the best candidate for the job was a scorpion and somehow didn't expect these results that it would proudly pinch everything.

Maybe I'm weird, but it's oddly endearing to see a giant scorpion looking up at someone while talking to them.

Maybe it's the big ol eyes. They look so happy to be having a conversation.

The camera's ability to focus on the Radscorpion's face is so wonderful to me.

"Can you beat Fallout 4 as a member of the railroad who is also an Omerta?"

*Nerbit immediately rushes to Mass Fusion and jumps off the roof*

[ironwraith]

Can you imagine Desdemona and Pals rushing to the entrance, thinking it’ll be someone who figured out their dumb quest, only for their last thoughts to be how a damned Radscorpion figured out their password?

In fallout 2, a radscorpion is trained into being able to lock pick and play a weird format of chess, so I think the mounted minigun is fine

[cutedragon]

In my opinion, the talking close-ups of the radscorpion makes it look so frickin cute. The tiny little shiny black eyes all look so in awe omg

“Red’s Dead without any Redemption in sight”
That was clever 👍

[danielwesley]

Being absolutely merciless as a scorpion is actually accurate, as the strongest scorpion eats its siblings.

Suggestion for a character/historical figure run:

“Can you beat Fallout New Vegas as general Douglas MacArthur?”

A bit of context:

MacArthur was a US general who was famously fired during the Korean War after he revealed that his plan to win the war was to launch a massive tactical nuke attack at the border between the Korean Peninsula and China. His idea was to turn the area into a wasteland to prevent troops and aid to make it to the peninsula.

Basically this would be a Fat Man focus run. That’s why I suggested New Vegas BTW, as the Gun Runners' Arsenal DLC let’s you buy different types of mini nukes. Hopefully this helps to make the challenge more than a pacifist run with extra steps, plus the variety of explosions might help to make the experience less repetitive, and maybe even tactical as each type of mini nuke have different aspects.

Also because this is a character run, you should know that despite his willingness to use nukes MacArthur only carried a .32 semi automatic pocket pistol (apparently for him the solution for most problems was either an scalpel or a chainsaw). The only .32 pistol in New Vegas is the Police Pistol from the Dead Money DLC, the problem is that’s a revolver not a semi automatic pistol, however any other relatively small pistol should do the trick. Whatever the case, the pistol should be useful at the beginning of the run and for killing anything that might have survived a mini nuke.

As for the look? The best I can think of is to get general Oliver’s uniform (boots and cap included) and complement it with some massive sunglasses and a smoking pipe, though for that last one anything relatively close to it should do the trick. That being said someone pointed out to me that the Lonesome Road DLC has the “US Army General outfit”, problem is that outfit is dominated by a trench coat (making it very WW1ish), while general Oliver’s clothes more closely resembles what MacArthur used to wear.

Someone also mentioned that one of the requirements of the run should be to complete the Lonesome Road DLC, or just detonate all the nukes in it. I would also suggest collecting all 14 of the normal mini nukes that are in the base game, though I feel like that it might be a bit boring compared to everything else on the run.

Attempt: 6

The image of a radscorpion with the subtitle “I stand by my actions” is utterly hilarious to me for some reason

[DraknalHitdan]

Given that you start as a human and transform into a Radscorpion I was hoping you'd name yourself Scorponok. Oh well.
