The Pitt Round 2 aka Pitt-Slave Killing Spree

I don't even know if it's possible to beat the Pitt without losing some Karma. Luckily, I'm evil this time around. So, while I didn't do the evil deed that I did last time (steal the baby and kill his mama) I did end up killing a lot of slaves.

I suppose it was unnecessary because they were unarmed and running away. But c'mon, look at them, they were asking for it. They couldn't even put on a decent outfit for my arrival?

Plus, the Infiltrator is just fun to use. Something about an awesome scope and a silencer just makes for great killin' times.

I killed this dude too (above), Wernher is a dick. He deserved to die. My one regret last time I played the Pitt was not killing him because, man, what a jerk.

I probably killed that lady too.

That's Wernher right there. Minus his head of course...and that's his blood all over that wall.

I lost a shit ton of Karma that time around. Now I'm rated something like "Stuff of Nightmares" or something like that. Fantastic.

The Pitt Made Me a Bad Person

I just finished the quests set forth in the Pitt, the most morally ambiguous Fallout add-on by far. I went to the Pitt as "The Last, Best Hope of Humanity" and returned as a "Shepard", still in the "Very Good" range but significantly lower. I also came back addicted to Jet and Beer (ha), and personally did not feel very good about the things I had done.

I stole a baby, killed its parents, killed a buncha slaves in a "Thunderdome" style death-match and watched bizarre trog mutants tear people apart time and time again.

I've never had a gaming experience where I came away from it actually feeling kinda fucked up about the things I had done. I was really trying to do the right thing too!!

Towards the end, I found myself walking around the Pitt, finding and killing the people who were involved in allowing the slaves to remain enslaved, and losing karma again and again.
But, morals aside, the add-on was damn fun, featured a badass motorized axe weapon, totally awesome scoped assault rifle, and some pretty sweet scenes and enemies.

Once again, definitely worth the 10 bucks...I dunno if it was worth the emotional strain, though.
This last image is, in a nutshell, what it's like to go to the Pitt...

Mmmm...chunky.
