Forum:Are you serious?

last night i was playing fo3 on my other character and this time i used charon to activate the purifier and in the ending the guy said i didn't follow my father's selfless example and let a real hero charon in the purifier. do they really expect me to kill myself when someone who won't die from radiation will go in there?--75.248.195.225 18:12, April 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. Don't think about it too hard, Bethesda obviously didn't. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 19:00, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

I think they were thinking too much about their Broken Steel DLC... 5t3v0 01:46, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

i think they we're too lazy to write more script for the ending.--75.223.27.8 02:01, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

It also doesnt make sense that you can be an absolute cunt, blow up an entire city, sell a kid into slavery, kill some ex slaves trying to make a haven of freedom for other slaves yet still have this need to turn on a water Purifier, putting the FEV notwithstanding... 5t3v0 08:20, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

That's because Fallout 3 force you to be a good kiddy following your Dad even after all the errors he made. Can't understand why so much people says the story is that good in the game - I mean, it would be excellent and work perfectly in a movie where the hero would be a true hero, but not so much in a game where you can kill every civilians crossing your path Xporc 10:10, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

I do feel sorry for Obsidian, all of their games are written off as being screwey but they actually have good stories and mechanics (if a little buggy due to the multiple options). They are unfortunately living in the shadow of the big monolith that is bethesda, who put out a game that is good in many respects, but with a half-assed story and then get praised for its "good story and atmosphere", while obsidian, who have members from Black isle, get called "Dipshits who cant beta test their game", with a story that they think it shit just because they dont understand it.

I cant even call myself an original Fallout fan as I havent finished fallout 1 yet and barely played fallout 2 so far, but I find myself being a very avid fanboy over Black isle and obsidians work. 5t3v0 11:05, April 27, 2011 (UTC)

its tough to say....they are both good companies but Obsidian obviously has the big bucks behind them. With that being said their games (Including, New Vegas which I feel isn't as buggy as some say (xbox 360) ) should not have many bugs in them. The 50-60 bugs you pay to buy these games new should guarantee that. Birchman34 16:13, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

well i got new vegas last week played it i beat the main story. and there just so many choices you could fight for evil. for good or independence of new vegas [thats what i did and i'm so freaking RICH!!!] it had a much better story better quests it's less buggy most of the time. total freedom. you can join one faction like the legion and they won't shoot at you if you do [i'm looking at you enclave] and you can fight with them new vegas is a much better game. fallout 3 was cool but the story was pre-chosen it wasent really total freedom like new vegas is. new vegas VS. fallout 3. and the winner is! ..... FALLOUT NEW VEGAS!!!--75.214.254.75 15:21, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

Look at all the Fallout 3 haters hatin'. In Fallout 1 you *had* to save the Vault & in Fallout 2 you *had* to rescue your tribefolk and defeat the Enclave. Anyway, the point of the sacrifice at the end of Fallout 3 is one final act of good/evil, so having Charon as a sort of "get out of jail free card" would have completely broken that concept. --Lionhaert 23:01, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

yeah... but it was so ham handed in its execution. It was barely a twist. Fallout ones "You're a hero and you have to leave" moment was a twist, it showed that in this world your loyalties often go wasted. It portrayed the paranoia of this reclusive society that was vault 13. Luckily, you had some followers, and that gave it meaning. That gave it motivation.

Bethesda should have managed that part of the story better. Maybe, if there werent plans for DLC, which there obviously was, they should have provided a way that only YOU can enter, such as having to enter with you or your fathers DNA or something, and not because of a shallow and in that world meaningless concept such as "honour". Realistically, there IS none. Bethesda, who made an otherwise superb game, messed up majorly in the story department IMO. 5t3v0 10:31, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

Well, have you gotten Broken Steel? Your character actually survives. GimmeStarfoxWii

Thats another thing, Fallout 3 was setting up for some DLC. The fact that they decided later on for Freeplay instead of implementing it straight away (while I do agree with obsidian not including Freeplay, I am not totally against it. In my opinion Fallout 3 is almost a different game and universe to New Vegas, 1 and 2, as it is in a different, totally gritty style) causes for some major inconsistencies canon wise. I didnt get Broken steel, I've been meaning to but havent gotten around to it though. 5t3v0 07:46, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't call Fallout 3 gritty or dark. It is grimdark, yes, but only in that most campy of ways. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/0/08/Personal_Sig_Image.gif Tagaziel (call!) 08:16, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

I agree it really seemed like what your doing and why your doing it is a bit forced but i still perfer that over what NV did --MrDot01 18:57, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

I liked the story up until they told me i couldnt send an obviously radiation proof fawkes or charon in there instead, other than that , i had no problem with the story

Can you imagine that?

Me: I will sacrafice myself to save the wasteland.

Charon: Its ok buddy il do it, im immune to rads

Me: No, no il do it, il follow my fathers shining example.


 * Activates PP and dies.....

Charon: *Pokes him with a stick* Didnt think it through

--Although it would be handy if you poison the wasteland--


 * charon activates purity*

Li: Oh noes, its been poisoned.

Me: Well charon was the one who turned it on, he must have done it.

Li: Fuck you charon.

Me: Yeah! Fuck you, Charon!
