Liberty Prime would be a better satire if it wasn't, canonically, incredibly useful to saving the Wasteland. In lore it was meant to be an impractical boondoggle that cost so much money it fucked the American people over, but in game it's a useful weapon of war used to kill fascists and take back a water purifier

Would've been a better satire if they'd taken the voice module out and drawn attention to how annoying the jingoism was, or if it didn't even work at all and all it did was spout jingoisms

on the other hand it's the lamest, most annoying level in the entire game to actually play, so who's to say if the robot is meant to be cool or a demonstration of prewar hubris

I was about to say, my entire thought process during the Liberty Prime Fight was 'I literally have 12 mini nukes in my pocket, I could have done this entire thing myself without this WoW level sidequest bullshit.'

20 minute long walk through the least interesting portion of the map where every enemy you waste munitions on might not give you xp because the magic robot lazer might get them

and who can forget reloading if the robot gets stuck and the last autosave was all the way back at the beginning. also reload if dumbass companions get themself blown up by an exploding car at any point

Oh I totally forgot about the randomly detonating cars.
