so Kats helmet? was it made of plasic its wasnt swat, and the beam riffle doesn exist yet. so why did kat die like a -blam!-, also why did carter and 3 other dudes carry her for 2 days.
watch the dates and time in New alexandria
I too dispute how a needle rifle killed her in one shot, HOWEVER, that is not the point is it? Cutscenes are there to provide atmosphere and emotion, which is clearly lost on you.
Without cutscenes games would be boring and stale, no amount of ingame story can ever make up for a good cutscene as far as plot development and immersion into the universe go.
As for why they carried her, well... they didn't. They were in a bunker hiding from the radiation. They couldn't leave her and risk technology falling into enemy hands, they couldn't bury her so they had no option to take her along. Plus emotional attachment and the old "nobody gets left behind" saying seal the deal pretty much.
