“It’s your fault I shot that man with the gun that I stole” - Amata properly DO NOT READ THE REPLIES

11:25 "But the child refused to throw away his life needlessly, instead sending in his companion who's virtually immune to radiation. Honestly, what a spineless wuss, real men throw their lives away without a purpose"

Imagine trading the best gun in the game for some stimpaks

Remember how the original ending had all of the companions- even the ones immune to rads- saying “no”? Even Fawkes, who shames you for not having him retrieve the GECK earlier in the game if you get it yourself then free him. Then the game shames you for doing the logical thing :/

Love the fact that outcast just equip what you give them lol 😂

hahah the cuts to you killing each caravan after asking about them was top tier lmfao

Bruh the Roy and Burke interaction is something I’d never see for the rest of my life if it weren’t for this vid

The one with Sarah reacting about the power armor is real interesting cause the only way to have power armor training that early is from the operation anchorage DLC. So either they knew ahead of time they were putting that in or perhaps had the actress record an extra line that they then patched into the main story there.

4th arm, that means he has a 3rd

Mr Burke really ran a terrifying presence check on phillips and passed 😂😂 5:36

I never had any clue about the Mr. Burke segment, that's nutty such a small number of people probably did it like this

10:00 - 10:22 RL-3 was the most enthusiastic to turn off the purifier. He understood the assignment perfectly. What a true bro!

The fact that Fawkes says “that was foolish when I was at your disposal” and then REFUSES to enter the purifier (pre DLC version) is really annoying to me now. As is that terrible script line in the ending slide.

I always found it funny that the narrator for the ending slides and Fawkes talk a little smack about the Lone Wanderer for sending someone else into purifier. It’s like my friends and I come across a house fire and I look to my buddy who’s a firefighter (IN HIS FULL GEAR, for some reason) to save the people inside, but before he goes in he says “Well, you’re kinda the leader of the friend group, I’d say. It’d be more heroic if you went in and died saving them, (*cough*) like your dad (*cough*)… but yeah, I’ll go save them.”

Alien blaster *GLOWS* *I bend my knees* Alien blaster *I SLEEP NOW*

I honestly didn't know Jericho had a reaction to blowing up Megaton. I hardly ever used him as a companion, and the times I blew up Megaton he was there, so he just died with everyone else.

Gotta love that you’re treated like a loser for not stupidly going in and sacrificing yourself when you have 3 companions that can survive. You did all the good guy stuff but nope, you’re not a true hero the robot is though haha

So, after 15 years of playing you say that damn alien blaster can change its glowing ??!!

8:00 Had me laughing so hard. Just the jumpcuts between the dude saying "uhhh yeah this dudes been missing for a while" and cutting to you blowing the guy apart with a fatman was unintentional comedy

I loved the sequence at 8:00, it was like watching a moment from a movie.

Some of that voice acting ‘i just lost another man’. 😂😂

I love how Amata mag dumps him

Fallout 3 was full of strange choices in writing like Amata blaming the player after she shot Officer Mack. Or the very narrative of the game itself calling the player out for choosing NOT to die in a highly irradiated chamber when we have a plethora of radiation-immune companions who could do it instead with absolutely zero personal risk.

Man the caravan bit at 8:00 was gold.

Lone Wanderer: Here's this outer space alien Lazer Pistol that can vaporize even the strongest of deathclaws! Brotherhood outcast: Thanks man, here's 20 stimpacks.

Philips' interaction with Burke is probably the best proof you need to why making a clean sweep of the Ghouls is the right choice the Tower's sidequest

The cuts in the Kill Caravan Traders entry were inspired. I love good editing. And then just to do that? *chef's kiss*

11:23 no one will forget the sacrifice of these heroes🫡

Man I’m glad you could get Fawkes and Leo in the same place to chat… cause I sure couldn’t. I always see Leo mad early in the game and never find them when I get Fawkes as a partner

I know it's just because he takes it into his inventory, because the game is set up that way, but I love that Casdin just immediately puts on whatever you give him instead of like, putting it in the armory or whatever. Like "Hell yeah I want that Tesla Armor, that'll look great on me!"

one thing i love about fallout 3 is how the characters go through the craziest situations with the most un crazy facial expressions

The outcast guy immediately switching out to the enclave armour sent me

Some of these like the burke scene i've never seen before. As someone who went back and is currently replaying thru fo3 after 5+yrs it's been alot of fun seeing the capitol wasteland and all its quirks again. The story isnt nearly as bad as I remember it being either.

I love the way officer mack amata and the overseer slide around😂

If the game gets a remaster they need to add the outcast commenting on other power armors besides the just the outcast one

I like how Fawkes specifically points out that he could have easily grabbed the G.E.C.K. because of his immunity to radiation, yet Bethesda chose to give you shit for sending him into the purifier at the end of the base game. I know they changed it after Broken Steel came out but the end slides still give you shit for not doing it yourself.

Amata had to shoot him, he was clearly possessed

“Fourth arm” fucking legend

Trading the alien blaster for anything Casdin has to offer is the worst trade in the game. Even worse than selling Lincoln's gun to Abraham Washington for 100 caps.

I swear every year I find out something new about fallout 3 when I thought that I I knew everything

Wow that Amata and the 10mm pistol detail at the very start of the game is one I never knew and I’ve played this game so many times 💀

I been playing fallout 3 since it came out its my favorite fallout game and i never knew about the alien blaster changing colors thats out of this world 😂

The caravan traders nuke scenes got me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Holy cow, I never knew Burke and the ghouls at Tenpenny tower was possible. That is insane. Fallout 3 Bethesda versus Starfield Bethesda just hits so different

"I would say that your destiny lies within that chamber", bro, you DID

this is legit good work i aint seen alot of this and i grew up playing it.

Its those moments where it was clear they were made with care and love.

Everyone's going crazy about Sarah commenting on you wearing Power Armor that early but they seem to forget Op Anchorage is the first DLC released. I have a feeling they had an idea that they might do a DLC that involved getting PA training earlier than normal and had Heather Marie Marsden (her VA) record the line just in case. The cut aways about killing the Caravan Traders with the Fat Man and then killing Roe with one made me wheeze far too hard lol Ah, I remember the days before I had the money to get the GOTY version of Fallout 3 and every immune to radiation companion refused to activate the purifier just because Bethesda wanted to force you in so you could "die" of radiation. They really should've just had a script that prevented your companions from following you into the purifier. Also, you're making me want to replay Fallout 3 when I've just started on Fallout 1 lol Stahp it lol

Wow you have technology from Aliens? Here have radaway

This is why I love 3 more than any that came after it. I don't even know how many hours I sank into this game but I'm somehow STILL learning new things I never knew were an option. As incredible a game as NV is, 3 will always be my favourite for this reason.

"I don't know ehy but I like you BOAH." 4:26

the trader section lmao and it cut to each one getting nuked lmao

Gob's Place.... I love it!

Ugh okay i’ll play fallout 3 again for the 8th time.

Having Jericho as a companion is pretty much the same as having Carl from ATHF as a neighbor, I'm convinced.

Out of all things I didn't knew about: Caravans, outcasts power armor, both of karma's reactions and a Fawkes reaction to G.E.C.K

Still dumbfounded at how stupid the endings treat you when you have a companion activate the purifier. Or how they exist without Broken Steel

6:29 this is why both of them AND three dog go in a box.

i love killing burk just for the suppressed 10mm pistol

What in the actual hell, I didnt know you could send the companions to activate the purifier. Reading the comments it seems like its a DLC thing, and I think I finished the game before that was a thing. I always hear people complaining about how the super mutant companion refuses to go in saying its your fate to do it, and I never knew they actually fixed that.

I love how Outcasts apparently refer to BoS soldiers as "civilians".

Amata got that trigger finger

I recall before the DLC, companions had different dialogue for the purifier. One thing I remember was Fawkes would wax poetic that, although he would survive the radiation, this was the Outcast's story to tell and therefore he would not go in.

I was today years old when I learned you can have fawkes as a compainion.

14:40 Moments like these is why quicksave exists. Now be a reasonable person and let him eat a mini nuke.

Jericho should have been able to be sent on Tenpenny. He even fits better in there anyway.

There is at least one more interesting scene with Amata, by the way, depending on how you talk to her in the prologue, when it's time to escape from the vault, she can react differently to the phrase "I can't trust the overseer's daughter", and she will either react, " I understand," or more aggressively.

Burke should have been a recruitable companion.

I never knew Uncle Leo was a character until today

As someone who took great personal friendship in charon as being the most loyal companion regardless of your actions, even on my evil playthoughs I was kind to him, a good solid rock to have in the wasteland, and a deadeye with his gun; I thank the person recording this for choosing the option of asking him as a friend to do the purifier for you, the tone in his voice says it all. 'You're begging me, when you're my boss. You could have just ordered me, but you chose to ask, so now I feel bad about being contractually obliged instead of annoyed that I can't say no. Bleeding heart bastard. Fine.'

To even have Sarah react to you wearing power armor at that moment you’d have had to already go through the operation anchorage dlc before this point! Shows you the detail in older Bethesda games having that you can anywhere and ignore the main quest stuff. They owe that more and more as time goes on. Starfield is honestly pretty okay to me at least. But fallout 3 and oblivion still hold a special place to me. These were the equivalent of call of duty and halo for me as I never really got to enjoy those golden ages as my older brother would hold the Xbox hostage until he was satisfied with playing those games himself. And so I would use the little time I had on it playing RPGs instead. As I watched him rage over the lagging of our internet being crappy at the time and blaming it on others “lag switching” despite zero evidence to the accusation as it was any time he was doing bad at the game. Yknow just toxic gamer culture never admitting someone else was better than him had to have his ego and all that crap. So I’d often hop on and play the three games that were fully mine which was fallout 3, fable 2, and Oblivion and that’s what I played.

Oh wait, did the Fawkes VA also voice the awesome Imperial Guard in Cyrodil from TES4 Oblivion?

I learned something new about this game everyday

The dialog with the caravan traders also happens when they just get straight up murdered which happens very easily sadly when you're max level and everything is albino radscorps, ghoul reavers, SM Overlords. I would get their schematics before that time happens in case they die without you even knowing when you're around them. Lol

You make me wanna replay this gem! ❤

Fawkes when you get the GECK yourself: yo that was stupid you know I’m immune to radiation right? Fawkes when activating project purity: nah that’s your destiny bro I’m good

I had no choice - Amata after mag dumping on that guy

Makes it even funnier when you recruit Jericho and then he helps you murder the entire town for all their loot before you blow Megaton up. As long as you don't hit the Brahmin he will happily help you murder everyone there.

I didn't know that you could get power armor that soon by killing the Behemoth.

The attention to details is on the level of RD2. Thank you for showing me how masterpiece this game. More than I thought.

The Roy and Burke interaction is exactly why I never feel bad about not letting the ghouls in. Plus once they do move in that means my main supply of ammo for the Lincoln repeater is gone alongside the guards

dude you killing the traders was HILARIOUS

20 stims for a one of a kind weapon seems like a bad trade.

I like to think chaos follows Amata no matter what happens.

I really like that you can give Autumn the actual code. That's a nice touch. You could do something similar in Fallout by becoming a mutant and joining the master's army for an instant bad ending.

I swear there was some where in the game where someone asked what you were doing there and with a low intelligence stat you could say "I'm just looking for my father" and they would say, what are you stupid or something?

I did not know that Mr Burke had it like that

I remember triggering the giant mutant with that caged teddy bear and the caravan doctor was around nearby. The giant went straight to him lol

i miss the hell out of the disguise feature and the ghoul mask disguise where ferals wont attack

If Mister Burke said that to me I'd nope the fuck out of there too.

Amata just emptied the clip lol

Welcome to paradise falls, how tough are you?

Didnt know RL-3 could start the purifier. Never thought of it, never even brought him to the purifier.

It’s a nice little feature that people actually notice the traders are not coming back unlike fallout 4 where no one cares

The only thing from all this i didnt know so far was that Charon can talk! Im blown away like Megaton. And that if you give Autumn the real code he just shoots you, i honestly always thought it was dumb that he threatens to do it over the wrong code because the force field being there i figured "bro im invincible right now, im in a force field." Never give up the Code! Even after like 15 years... Never!

“You do anything remotely stupid, you’re dead.” [Evil Karma][Intelligence] “Hahaha! Funny man go BOOM!” **Nukes Megaton.**

Damn that Burke conversation was cold

Fawkes having different voices is... so Bethesda

Do not trade Tesla armor for stimpacks

That code thing i just pickd whatever, and apparently i gave the correct one. Autumn just shot me and i was shook, like i dont remember abt that stupid verse at all
