Fallout's surge in popularity has reminded everyone of New Vegas' most overpowered mechanic – bisexuality

Fallout: New Vegas.

The Fallout TV show is doing absolute wonders for the popularity of the post-apocalyptic RPG series, with a significant uptick in the player counts of the games. This has also led to players new and old discovering and reminiscing about one of Fallout: New Vegas' greatest, and most overpowered mechanics, which makes bisexual people canonically stronger than everyone else. 

Let's rewind. In case you were unfamiliar, in Fallout: New Vegas, every two levels you'll get the option to unlock a regular perk to bolster your Courier's skillset. Some of these essentially define your character's sexuality, with options to be straight, gay, lesbian, or bi, the latter of which is unlocked by selecting two of the sexuality related perks rather than just one. Wins for inclusion aside, these perks come with another bonus beyond being able to flirt with NPCs – they also include attack boosts.
