And regarding the silliness, it's really nothing I can't cope with. Some games aren't meant to be analysed at a deep level. I'm actually kind of astounded that some people here will bitch and moan about every little inconsistancy instead of just enjoying the many good parts of this game.

Wo ho ho, you're missing the concept of nerd rage in its very essense there, my friend.

Part 12 – Alice In Wonderland

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Rivet City is lame. Can we nuke this place?

i3.jpg
Nope. Megaton is the only city in this game we can blow up.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
:(

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Fine... let’s just leave and never come back to this shitty boring town.

i3.jpg
Actually, the main quest is gonna force us to come back here later on.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
:evil:

Anyway, daddy ventured to Vault 112, and we have to follow him.
450.jpg

Apparently, the door to Vault 112 is hidden inside this garage. Therefore, we go inside the garage and search for the entrance.

451.jpg

Here it is. It wasn’t that hard to find. Unlike most vaults, this one isn’t locked or anything. It just opens from the outside.

452.jpg

A robot greets us as we enter the vault.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Umm... have you seen my daddy? Did he come here?

453.jpg


i3.jpg
I don’t think it understood you.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Well, let’s head over to this Tranquility Lounge. Maybe daddy’ll be over there.

454.jpg

This is the Tranquility Lounge. There are people resting inside each of these pods.

455.jpg

Here’s Daddy Neeson. He seems to be resting peacefully inside one of these pods.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
DADDY!!! :D :D :D

i3.jpg
Yay!! We finally found him!! Umm... how do we get him out of this pod thing?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
I don’t know... Maybe we should also enter one of these pods.

i3.jpg
Why the hell would we do that? What the hell good could getting into one of these pods do?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
I don’t know. But, it doesn’t seem like we have any other options...

456.jpg

Therefore, we decide to get into one of the pods. Conveniently, there’s an unoccupied one for us to use.

As we get into the pod, the game sends us into a virtual reality simulation:
457.jpg

FACT: Everything inside the virtual reality session is in black and white.

458.jpg

Some dude approaches us and tells us to talk to Betty.
FACT: For some reason, this dude’s face reminded me of John Malkovich.

Inside this virtual reality sim, we’ve been transformed into a little kid:
459.jpg


460.jpg

This place looks like a stereotypical retro 50’s era American neighborhood.

461.jpg

If we try to tell any of the residents that this place is actually a computer simulation, they’ll just ignore us and make nothing of it.

Anyway, we walk over to the playground, where we meet Betty:
462.jpg


MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Umm... where are we?

463.jpg


MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Right. So, have you seen daddy?

464.jpg


i3.jpg
Wait a second. When the hell did you stop referring to daddy as 'the middle-aged guy’?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Well, that was a pretty stupid description, wasn’t it? Thus, I decided to change it to something that made more sense.

i3.jpg
It’s almost like even the Bethesda writers realized how silly the ‘middle-aged guy’ line was. So, about halfway into the game, they decided to change it into something slightly less moronic.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Bethesda is improving!!

465.jpg

[Obviousness] She seems to have seen our daddy.

466.jpg


MainCharacterSmall.jpg
WTF is going on around here?

467.jpg


468.jpg


MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Why the hell would I do that? What would that do for me?

469.jpg

She promises to tell us what’s going on around here if we make Timmy cry.

Meet Timmy Neusbaum:
470.jpg

There’s a couple different ways to make him cry. We could just beat him up. But, instead, we use this dialogue option.

471.jpg

Then, he starts crying.

472.jpg

Yay!

i3.jpg
Anyway, you promised to answer our questions now.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
So, who are you?

473.jpg

FACT: Dr. Braun was the scientist that Daddy came here to search for.

474.jpg


MainCharacterSmall.jpg
[Perception] So, you’re actually a grown man who fantasizes about wearing dresses and being inside a little girl’s body?

i3.jpg
So, in other words, this dude is actually an inane tranny pedophile? This dude would fit in well at the Codex...

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Anyway, what have you done with daddy? You haven’t raped him, have you?

475.jpg


MainCharacterSmall.jpg
I don’t see him around here. Did you also change daddy’s appearance?

476.jpg


i3.jpg
So, what’s the point of all this crap?

477.jpg


i3.jpg
You didn’t answer my question.

478.jpg

We need to do some more of this bullshit before he’ll give us more information.

479.jpg

Here’s the dog that Betty/Dr. Braun was talking about.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
DADDY!!

480.jpg

He can’t talk to us. He just barks if we try to.

i3.jpg
This whole thing is stupid.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
I agree. Let’s just beat up Dr. Braun and make him release us.

481.jpg

So, we go over to Betty and punch her a few times:

482.jpg

She gets mad at us for punching her.

483.jpg

Then, she zaps us and kills us.
FACT: I had to reload a previous savegame after this happened.

i3.jpg
So, it seems that we have to do this quest for Dr. Braun.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
I guess so. Let’s head over to their house.

While we’re heading over to the Rockwell’s house, we meet this lady:
484.jpg

Mrs. Dithers is only other person around here who realizes that we’re actually inside the Matrix.

485.jpg


486.jpg

Apparently, there’s a hidden failsafe terminal inside one of the abandoned houses around here. We can use this terminal to leave this simulation and avoid doing all of Dr. Braun’s quests.
But, performing all of Dr. Braun’s quests is the more interesting route; so, we’ll do that instead.

Anyway, we head over to the Rockwell’s house. We have to break up their marriage.
487.jpg

This is the inside of their house. I don’t think there’s enough bloom. Definitely not nearly enough.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Hey, Mrs. Rockwell. Would you please leave your husband and break up your marriage? Please?

488.jpg


489.jpg


i3.jpg
So, all it takes to break up a marriage is for some stranger 12-year old to tell her that he saw her husband with someone else?

i3.jpg
She didn’t even bother to question us? Shouldn’t she at least discuss this with the husband?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Whatever. We got the mission done. Let’s just head back to the weird pedophile dude.

490.jpg


MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Ok. So tell us why daddy came here.

491.jpg


492.jpg


MainCharacterSmall.jpg
So, daddy didn’t listen to you and you turned him into a dog?

i3.jpg
Anyway, what do we have to do to get us and our dad out of this place?

She tells us that she’ll let us leave if we do a few more of these pointless tasks for her:
493.jpg


Therefore, we head over to Mrs. Henderson’s house:
494.jpg

This is her kitchen. We tamper with the oven.

495.jpg


496.jpg

The next time Mrs. Henderson tries to cook a meal, she explodes and dies.

i3.jpg
This is getting tedious. How many more of these silly tasks do we have to do?

497.jpg


i3.jpg
Fucking finally.

498.jpg

She tells us where she’s hidden a knife, which we need to use to kill everyone.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
What the hell is the point of all this? What do you get out of all this?

499.jpg


i3.jpg
So, you’re not gonna give us any other reason than just because you’re evil?

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
Who cares? Let’s just finish this and get out of here.

500.jpg

We get the knife and kill everyone.

MainCharacterSmall.jpg
We did all of your stupid bullshit missions. You better let us leave like you said you would.

501.jpg


i3.jpg
We won’t miss you. You’re just as fuckin’ inane as everyone else we’ve met.

502.jpg

Anyway, this door appears behind us. We use this door to exit the Matrix and return to the real world.

Now that we're in the real world, we finally get the opportunity to talk to daddy:
503.jpg


End of Part 12.

The alternate route has you magically summoning a squad of Chinese soldiers... or some shit. Basically, you fuck his entire simulation up. It's entertaining enough but the crappy Beth-like animations make it more laughable. It's the route I took when I played this thing, somewhere in-between uninstalling it and butchering Little Lamplight.

Wow, that was bizarre. It's like...a murder simulator inside a murder simulator. At first it just seem stupid as shit. But then it's like, woah, red pill or blue pill, dude. So I think: is Beth trying to be ironic or clever or something? Then I remember that this game is a fucking Todd abortion, and I realize that no, they weren't even attempting to get the player to follow a thought down a path he otherwise never would. It was just another 'wouldn't this be kewl!' turd grabbed out of the kewl bag and stuffed into Fallout.

So does advancement in the game require this VR pod bullshit participation? Can't you open Dad's pod or turn off the power or hack the control console or something? If not, lame. C & C vacuum.

Also: "i'm EVUL i want to tortur pepple hurr-hurr!"

The sad part is that that was probably the most creative part of the whole game.

And now tell me this game isn't for 12 years old kids who suffer from the irreversible retardation.

And why did Beth make that stupid black'n'white filter for this part of the game? It isn't like the rest of the game is any more colourful.

It's the eyeliner. Or maybe Bethesda are just throwing in a cunning clue to Betty's big fat middle-aged crossdressing skeleton in the closet.

Very true.

If anyone is wondering, there IS an alternate solution to this quest (Bethesda is IMPROVING!). It's not as satisfying as personally killing everyone. The Chinese officers were lulzy though.

Yeah, the animation was terrible but funny... and the way the little man/girl bitches at you for ruining the fun.

Looks like Bethesda can't make up their mind. Why is this simulation black and white, but Operation: Anchorage is in color?

DriacKin needs to be given a custom tag, a codex achievement he unlocked by playing this abomination.

From the first moment you see the loungers you know it's a trap. So you open skills menu, choose science or repair, try to hack the terminals that control them, or try to open them with electronic lockpick, or use an explosives to destroy the controls and free dad, or bash the lounger's door with a crowbar. Oh wait...
