Line 18:
** The log entries of the nurse in Germantown. Even up to the very end, running out of medication and dying of acute radiation exposure, she and her colleagues still went out every day and did everything they could for their patients, even if all they could offer was whiskey and painkillers. Her last log details her dismay that she couldn't have been the last to die, as she knew there were still people out there that needed care. [[Tropers/Prioris|This troper]] found herself experiencing two very intense emotions at once: professional pride and heartache.
** Moira Brown in Megaton is normally an [[Cloudcuckoolander|extremely cheery person]], but for the first time I actually clicked on a few dialogues that I've never listened to when I didn't have some sort of [[MP 3]] playing. Her heartfelt explanation for why she wants you to help her create the Wasteland Survival Guide made me tear up, something that ''never'' happens:
{{quote| '''Moira''': Well, look around at the world we live in. It may be okay to you, but I've read about what it used to be like, and this isn't it. So we all need something that keeps us going, despite all the terrible things around us. For me, it's things like this book... did you ever try to put a broken piece of glass back together? Even if the pieces fit, you can't make it whole again the way it was. But if you're clever, you can still use the pieces to make other useful things. Maybe even something wonderful, like a mosaic. Well, the world broke just like glass. And everyone's trying to put it back together like it was, but it'll never come together the same way... the Wasteland Survival Guide isn't much towards that lofty goal, but its an important one. And that's why I need your help. <voice cracks a little> I don't think I can do it alone.}}
*** This troper was absolutely ''crushed'' when he heard 3 Dog completely bashing Moira's book and calling it the most useless piece of dangerous trash ever. Moira's dream was forever ruined, and I had no one to blame for it but myself and my own laziness. I immediately restarted the game and did her quest RIGHT, because the last truly good and innocent person in the Capital Wasteland ''deserved better''.
** And then, in [[Fallout: New Vegas]], you find [http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Wasteland_Survival_Guide_(Fallout%3A_New_Vegas) it]. Not only did it get published, but it's so good it permanently raises your Survival skill. A [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] if there ever was one.
