Research direction

Start by reproducing Fallout 2 (Steam AppID 38410) with Proton 7.0-5, using the reported NCR conversation with Hoss and the [bite me] dialogue choice. Review the linked system information and Proton log, then investigate the crash at the reported memory address; done means the conversation completes without crashing.
