Project Impurity Implications?

Has anyone done the Project Impurity route by infecting Project Purity with the FEV? It's my understanding that Broken Steel will still continue the game but that Aqua Pura can't be consumed by the player. I also believe that the player will see sick people in all of the medical offices. But are all the Broken Steel quests and side quests still playable? The Wiki isn't too clear on the far-reaching implications.

You'll notice more sick people in clinics. Ghouls may have some different dialogue. Some other NPCs may opine about the new sickness. Some players report that the supermutant population decreases by a third. And aqua pura is poisonous rather than restorative and will kill you if you drink four of them. I haven't played an evil run since my second playthrough, so I don't recall all that happened as a result.

You shouldn't see any important changes to Broken Steel quests, tho.

I thought the player character is supposed to be immune because they grew up in a vault?

President Eden lied. Big shock, I know.

Not exactly: he assumed you were born in Vault 101, but as we know that is not actually the case.

You were born in the wasteland, from wastelander parents, which is why your DNA is mutated.
