I'm amazed the Children don't run: I must be terrifying. But it's also thrilling, because I've spent so long watching most of my health disappear from a single wound, and now I'm this dome-helmeted immortal. All these guys are super tough, making this a long and bloody fight, as I slowly gouge seven people to death. Hence, my Deathclaw Gauntlet finally gets an outing - my gamma-blasting enemies can barely get a shot off when I'm right up in their faces with this thing.

The Children's gamma guns do almost no damage to me now, but they still pack wallop enough to stop me from firing my gun. Although Superman isn't known for repeatedly and brutally slashing people across the face with a mutant dinosaur claw.

This is just crazy enough to work, right? So I'll basically be going back in there naked except for a thin layer of waterproof plastic. You can't wear a Hazmat suit with any other armour, however. And I recently came into possession of a Hazmat suit. They're shooting me with radiation, not bullets. Just as I'm preparing to grimly swim away from that tantalising lighthouse, a brainwave hits me. I can't win this fight: they'll poison me to death before I can even get a shot off. I run back to the sea and guzzle too many anti-rad drugs to count. Within seconds, I'm 80% dead from radiation sickness, and whatever weird gun the Children has also breaks my aim every time I'm hit with it. Not for the first time, I have no idea why I'm being attacked on sight, but I do know that these guys are pummeling me with some kind of nuclear weapon. The lighthouse is occupied a group calling themselves the Children of the Atom, a faction who appear to worship radiation. Bad people don't live in lighthouses, right? So I return to land, emerging from the water right by a gleaming white lighthouse. I'm never going to see anything but blue-grey murk, let alone overcome awesome challenges. I can swim out a short distance, then I am blocked from going further.įor a time I swim around the coast like this, and even entertain the idea that I could complete my entire journey this way, unseen and unmolested, but it feels like a cheat. I do not understand their nature - are they to protect me from some greater horror than a radiation-ravaged land filled monsters, maniacs and malfunctioning robots? How could there be something worse than this? But I cannot pass. You voted that I swim out into the poison sea, to find out what lies beyond the water. Continuing a perma-death diary in Fallout 4, in which I begin with absolutely nothing other than a plan to to voyage around only the outermost periphery of the world.
