And it couldn't happen to a nicer asshole. Though it might have been funnier if done at The Tops, if only to have to explain to Swank why the cleaners will need a big bag to take care of the charred corpse.

Some was cut out because Bethesda was pushing a tight schedule, but others were just too ambitious. Like the Obsidian guys had begun work on post-game dialogue and so forth before realizing that the number of possible outcomes from all the factions made creating such a ginormous headache that they couldn't begin to address in the time allowed. Personally, I think it for the better, if only because it didn't make the Fallout 3 mistake of "Okay, let's not leave any indication that this is the final mission until we roll the credits."

Nah, less shotgun and more "get blackout drunk and wake-up married by an Elvis impersonator." According to the developers, if you romanced Cass long enough, eventually the two of you would get drunk together, pass out, and end up married. If your Freeside reputation was high enough, The King would be the guy officiating, breaking into a performance of "Love Me Tender." But romancing never went anywhere because they decided early on that it wouldn't be a fun mechanic, plus Chris Avellone doesn't like romances in games.

Hey now, why incinerate Victor and Yes-Man? They're not bad, they're just programmed that way. Now cooking Mr. House in his pod, there's an idea I wouldn't be opposed to.
