So according to this, since this destiny was enforced upon her by tricking her into finishing an incredibly selfish spell, her destiny is bullshit.
 
  1. A trick that cursed her friends, not achieved  
  2. Something she didn’t choose
     
    =Bullshit according William Jennings Bryan…I agree

    Also, I think RD noticed Fluttershy being scared and a liability. She’s shown time and again to be a natural leader, especially for the masses.

Maybe Fallout 3 would have invested me in it’s story if it wasn’t completely goddamn stupid. Your father is a complete moron for trying to purify the basin when small scale water condensers exist everywhere, the people of the Capital Wasteland have had their thumps up their asses for hundreds of years since they’re still pawing around in the dirt while functional countries have been built in the west, the amount of raiders is hugely disproportionate to the amount of resources that could sustain him, you waste a GECK (which has been retconned from a kit full of seeds and farming instructions to the genesis device) on stupid Project Purity when you should have used it to get farming going, Colonel Autumn getting into Vault 87 to capture you makes no sense, your dumbass Dad kills himself for no reason, which Autumn survives for reasons never explained, the way you convince the president to kill himself is stupid, karma has no subtlety to it, making you a holier then thou lap dog to the Brotherhood and that infuriating disk jockey or an insane, brainlessly misanthropic psychopath, the completely abusrd and utterly infuriating Little Lamplight is a story required destination, your choices for dialogue are extremely limited, everyone praises your dad as a genius despite everything to the contrary, almost every stupid/unpleasant character has plot armor and can’t be killed, the story is extremely linear, and in the end, the giant climactic battle against the Enclave is over which one of you gets to push a button.
 
The gameplay is fun though. I am glad they kept that for New Vegas.

Like what the other BP said, no one noticed, and again FS needed to be the one to show her problems. And again it is a very serious threat (although extinction might be overselling it.) but Fluttershy couldn’t prepare herself the same way she could if there was something visible in front of her. In Hurricane Fluttershy, she worked her tail off focused and confident, knowing well what would happen if she had failed, and yet still couldn’t work past her own self limitations. Unless it was pounded into her, no amount of talking or preparation could have changed that.
 
Again. Discord put literally everything but Spike and Celestia against her, of course she would break.
 
The dark magic door shows otherwise. She was afraid of not only Celestia’s disappointment but of losing everything. The stain glass window showed Sombra winning and there wasn’t a thing she could have done to stop it. That is her fear, losing her teacher, her friends, and everything else she ever cared for. She got over it once she snapped out of it, but only when it almost came to reality did she realize what she really needed to do.

And yet, it lacks what Fallout 3 had: a story you can get emotionally invested in.
 
Fallout New Vegas is basically about one guy in the wrong place at the wrong time. Fallout 3, that one was you.

Though content could be sparse, every community felt interesting and unique. A branching storyline that gives you four ways to win the game while potentially playing every side against each other. The writing is tight and lacks serious logical holes. The weapons and armor are extremely diverse. No plot armor on any character save for one, and his armor is extremely justified both in universe and from a design stand point. Excellent graphics and smooth controls.
 
New Vegas is a smashing display of modern gaming’s finest qualities.

No one noticed. No one. Not a single pony noticed. Not even Fluttershy’s self-entitled aunt Pinkie Pie. They all just went to a dragon’s lair and didn’t notice Fluttershy’s anguish. No one.

Twilight didn’t notice the fact that one of her friends was more terrified than usual. She didn’t ask what the problem was, and she didn’t even think that there would be problems dealing with a dragon. a leader must be snsitive to the needs of their followers. And Nuclear winter is a potential extinction event. HOW IS THAT NOT A PROBLEM?
 
Twilight doesn’t just crack under pressure, she shatters and cuts up everyone else with the shards. not leader material.
 
She was concerned only with a potential failure to pass a single test, not at all with the wellbeing of an entire race.

In Equestria Princess’ job is to do princessey stuff. Not to lead, that would be silly. This is no West wing.

She was aware Fluttershy was scared and “shy”, but she also knew she was good with animals. Fluttershy was should have been the one to be up front about it. And again, nuclear is a threat, but not the same way being of an incoming train is threat. Fluttershy knew it was dangerous, couldn’t work up the nerve to face it.
 
You’re right, a good leader can’t crack under pressure…on paper. Everyone has a breaking point, it’s simply a matter on how much you can take. And keep in mind, she’s still new at this, hell she wasn’t even social until she went to Ponyville.
 
And my point was Twilight saw those two things as one and the same. She did recognize the importance of what she was doing but also the disillusion that it was solely up to her, it was lesson to learn that, hence why she gave the responsibility of saving the empire to Spike.
