Fallout 3/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

* [[Accidental Aesop]]: By using the GECK to reactivate Project Purity instead of using it to terraform the region as in ''Fallout 2'', "It's better to work hard to change things over time than to change them entirely at once."

* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: The appearance of Mr.Burke in the Lone Wanderer's drug induced hallucination can be taken to mean a variety of things depending the on the player's actions, specifically whether {{spoiler|you destroyed Megaton or not}}.

* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: For [[Broken Base|some fans]], the fact that this game even exists. Considering [[Fallout: Van Buren|the last attempt at a]] [[Fallout 3]], this is understandable.

* [[Anticlimax Boss]]:

** {{spoiler|Autumn}}, despite being the [[Final Boss]], can be killed with one clean critical to the head, and the two bodyguards nearby are just the same Enclave troopers you've been gunning down all game.

** {{spoiler|You can convince President Eden to kill himself with just two lines of dialogue. The argument you make isn't even particularly impressive, either}}.

** {{spoiler|Sibley has only slightly more health than a normal [[Power Armor]] wearing minigun wielding mook. The only real problem in fighting him is that he's supported by a squad of elite mooks.}}

** Eulogy Jones and the other slaver bosses have the same health as any other mook.

** Ashur has excellent armor, but isn't that much tougher than a normal Mook. Ironically he can't survive as much damage as his unarmored rival Wernher, due to the later having Companion-level health.

** At the end of Point Lookout's main quest, neither Desmond nor Calvert put up that big of a fight. Calvert is pathetically easy as he's ultimately {{spoiler|just a brain in an easily shattered jar}} with no means of defending himself aside from a small group of piss-easy Protectrons that deactivate when he dies. If you chose to betray him, Desmond can ''at least'' put up a fight since he wields a gun, but he ultimately dies quickly since his clothing is simply a suit and glasses, with nothing more.

* [[Author's Saving Throw]]: The new ending for ''Fallout 3'', provided by DLC for the widely unpopular ending.

* [[Awesome McCoolname]]: Herbert 'Daring' Dashwood.

* [[Base Breaker]]: Moira Brown. People either love her and view her as a hilarious adorably quirky woman with a good heart, or an annoying idiot who seems to want to get you killed on your various excursions in the name of her survival guide. It's hard to find people who are at the middle ground.

* [[Broken Aesop]]: ''The Pitt'' DLC was touted for its [[Gray and Gray Morality]]. The resolution involves {{spoiler|kidnapping a newborn baby from her parents to facilitate the success of [[The Revolution Will Not Be Civilised|Wernher and the slaves]], or leaving her so her [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] parents can develop a cure for the radiation sickness specific to the Pitt}}. Both [[Not in This For Your Revolution|Wernher]] and [[Utopia Justifies the Means|Ashur]] have [[Misaimed Fandom]], at times.
