I’m pretty sure that change was made for Broken Steel. They really wanted to end the game with the main quest, so you needed a fucking dlc to survive and have a post-game
Edit: I just checked, and it is a change from Broken Steel that lets you tell Fawkes, Charon, or the Mister Gutsy companion to go in and push the buttons
and even with the Broken Steel change, the game still has the gall, the audacity to call you a coward for not sacrificing your life when you have your radiation immune friend do the deed instead.

Probably didn’t want to recall hellboy to do another voice line so they picked the one that fit. Still bothered me though.
