As revealed near the end, Mother Miranda kidnapped Mia Winters at some point to replace her and apparently played the role well enough that Ethan didn't really ask any questions before Chris came in and shot her without explaining jack shit to Ethan.

Ignoring the question of whether this part of the plan was even necessary, exactly how long was Miranda planning to keep up the act before absconding with Rosemary and (presumably) killing Ethan, considering that she apparently spent about a week doing this before Chris showed up?

Assuming that he's in a situation where he's working alongside someone who can shrug off most bullets or explosions like Luke Cage or Iron Man, would the Punisher actually bother checking his fire or would he consider it a situation where he can simply ignore the issue of "Friendly Fire", regardless of whether the other hero cares or not?

And if so, would he consider simply firing explosives at someone like Luke Cage, Thor or Hulk while they're in the middle of fighting a bunch of other enemies.

Also, how aware is Frank of Spider-Man's ability to dodge attacks instinctively and if so, would he also ignore friendly fire on the basis that Spider-Man could probably dodge it?

Considering that Pragmata got acclaim as the new "Please Have Kids" game, I got to wondering what media makes the audience not want kids, either intentionally or unintentionally?

The first one I could think of was Fallout 3 with Little Lamplight where the first kid you meet is a foul-mouthed little asshole who unless you have the specific perk to speech check him makes you go through a lot of hoops just to let you through his town of kids. At least he grew up to be less of an asshole.

So what other media makes you realize that you're better off not having any offspring?

Considering that the House/Independent Endings involve screwing over the NCR and ensuring that the lives and effort spent in the Mojave are now completely wasted, how likely would it be that were Boone and Cass known to be associated with the Courier (and that the surviving NCR High Command were incredibly petty) they could potentially be charged with Treason or some similar trumped-up charges?

While ULP did eventually manage to successfully find and abduct Darko for Niko, was it actually something that took effort on his part?

As a mid-level IAA agent who had enough authority to be put in charge of operations of a major American city, was finding an Eastern European vagrant (even one who likely went off the grid) actually something that took considerable resources/effort on his part, or was he stringing along Niko for as long as he could before actually deciding to fulfill his end of the deal?

I figured that even as a Synth, considering his status as a decorated veteran, Danse must have served under Elder Lyons (IE; at least a decade) but the sheer contempt he talks about him seems real extreme as a wastelander. Did he just buy into the dogma so hard that he looks down on the old man or was it just another case of "The writers didn't really consult each other/forgot the timeline"?
