Watch me play a shitty game (Fallout 3) (COMPLETED!!)

[Serious_Business]

You know what? Fuck you, dad.

 

[Brother None]

You know what? Fuck you, dad.

I like how his reaction is just "Well I'm sorry you feel that way, but anyway, as I was saying...[plot exposition]"

And Dria hasn't even come to the most hysterically mangled bit of father-son related writing Bethesda did. Really, writing is...not their forte?

Could you be more specific?

 

[poocolator]

Republic of Dave doesn't require much effort but it's fun.

Fun for a whole 2 minutes.

I guess he just doesn't give a shit about his son.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Republic of Dave doesn't require much effort but it's fun.

Fun for a whole 2 minutes.

In a game desperate for actually amusing NPCs, Republic of Dave is as close as it gets.

 

[RK47]

The Pitt was fucked up. I spent my time shooting my way through cause I couldn't take it anymore. And suddenly these punks with metal pipes beat me down and my guy wouldn't shoot back. BULLSHIT.

 

[Brother None]

And Dria hasn't even come to the most hysterically mangled bit of father-son related writing Bethesda did.

Could you be more specific?

His response to your actions in Megaton. Happens when you first talk to him at the purification plant core, I think. 's pretty lulzy.

Part 14 – Pan’s Labyrinth

In the previous episode, we rescued Daddy Neeson, and his scientist buddies were heading to their old lab in order to resume some of their previous research.

Daddy and his friends don’t seem to be in any danger right now. They seem to be safe for the time.

That being said, let’s do some side missions. I’m getting kind of bored of the main quest.

OK. That sounds fun.

So, we decide to travel to the far reaches of the map, searching for interesting stuff to do.

Hidden away in the far northern sections of the map, we find a long and winding road between some rock formations.

At the end of the path, we meet this dude:

Yay! I think we found a side mission!!

Umm...this guy looks weird. Who are you?

FACT: This is the silliest clothing in any game I’ve ever played.

So, what do you want from us?

Tree Father Birch leads us to his town. Here it is.

Once we’re inside, he explains what’s going on here.

FACT: Oasis is the name of this settlement.

What’s with all the trees and stuff? It doesn’t really fit well with the post apocalyptic setting.

Apparently, ‘He’ is causing a small forest to sprout up in this location.

Who or what exactly is this dude you keep talking about?

Why does it seem that just about every single NPC in Fallout 3 belongs to some wacky cult?

WTF man? A God Tree? Please tell me we’re not gonna see something like this (see picture below) in a Fallout game?

FACT: This is a tree god.

Please?

Anyway, who exactly are you people?

So... in other words, you guys are a bunch of druids, right?

:facepalm:

Anyway, what do you guys want from us?

He asks us to speak with their Tree God.

We agree to their request.

But before we meet the tree god, we must perform the ritual of purification:

He tells us to drink the cleansing liquid from the ‘Basin of Purification’

After drinking the stuff, our vision becomes distorted.

This feels funny.

Hey, are you ok?

This stuff is great. It’s even better than smoking weed.

Anyway, as the ritual proceeds, all of the druids take turns and spout out some random bullshit like this.

Dude, what the hell are these guys talking about?

How am I supposed to know? I’m stoned right now.

After the ritual is finished, we black out and wake up in a new area:

In this new area, we come face to face with the legendary tree god.

TREEBEARD!!

I’ve never met a talking tree before.

Herbert?

So, you’re trapped inside this tree?

I suppose you could look at it that way. See, Bob used to ride around on top of my head, sunk his roots right there, ya know?

How the hell did that happen?

I was exploring some sort of military base with some other people. We were pretty deep inside and we found some nasty green goo.

Right as we were about to leave, I think we were attacked. Last thing I remember before blacking out was something knocking my friend into the stuff.

Anyway, your druid buddies told us that you wanted something from us?

Yes, I do. I had you brought here to ask a very simple favor.

You want to die? Sounds like oblivion. Why would anyone want that?

I’ve been feeling rather “spread out” lately. I think Bob’s kinda shoved my insides around some.

Umm...can we have some time to think about this?

OK. See you later, Herbert.

No, no. Herbert is the tree.

Ok. Umm...we’ll think about your proposition.

You ‘saw us coming’ here? How does that work?

Also, how are there so many trees growing around here? Isn’t this place supposed to be a barren wasteland?

Well, all it takes is a good wind and the seeds just fly everywhere.

How does make any sense? Doesn’t matter how many seeds there are. This wasteland shouldn’t be able to support a lush forest like this.

Anyway, we head back to the druid alcove and witness an argument between Tree Father Birch and one of the other druids:

Leaf Mother Laurel argues that they should help spread Harold’s forest creating abilities.

Tree Father Birch disagrees.

Umm...you do realize that Harold isn’t really a god and that he wants us to kill him, right?

Why isn’t there a single reasonable person in Fallout 3?

He offers a solution:

Fallout 3 gives us a few different ways to resolve this mission. We can kill Harold, listen to Birch, or...

Leaf Mother Laurel was the one arguing with Birch a few minutes ago. She also happens to be Tree Father Birch’s wife.

Choices and Consequences!!

End of Part 14.1



So, which side do we take? Do we listen to Harold and kill him? Or do we listen to Laurel and help extend Harold’s influence? Or do we take Birch’s advice and prevent Oasis from being found by others?

Which is better and why?
DISCUSS!!!

Next time, we finish this mission.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

What will happen if you will go for the "extend" option? Will the trees cover the wasteland?

 

[mathboy]

Extend! That might forest the wasteland, so there'll be no Fallout 4.

 

[DriacKin]

What will happen if you will go for the "extend" option? Will the trees cover the wasteland?

I think their explanation is that in 10-20 years, the wasteland will have much more vegetation.
So...you don't actually get to see any of it

Extend! That might forest the wasteland, so there'll be no Fallout 4.

Nah. They could always just use another setting like they're doing with New Vegas.

 

[Brother None]

What will happen if you will go for the "extend" option? Will the trees cover the wasteland?

You mean ingame? Nope.

I'm not going to spoil the choice, but needless to say, the consequences never go beyond this one location.

Also, Dria, don't you have a flamer? Then you have the Best Option, purifying this horrific treatment of our dear Harold BY FIRE.

 

[Quilty]

I heard what they did to Harold in F3, but I've never actually seen it before.

[Anguish] Fucking Todd.

 

[MetalCraze]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just when you thought Oblivion 2 couldn't be any more retarded - it always delivers.

I also vote for Purification by Fire.

Fallout 3: A door to Oblivion.

 

[Pliskin]

Republic of Dave doesn't require much effort but it's fun.

Fun for a whole 2 minutes.

In a game desperate for actually amusing NPCs, Republic of Dave is as close as it gets.

You go there as part of the "Ya Gotta Shoot 'em in the Head" quest.

+ Dukov's place, Rivet City, Tenpenny Towers, Underworld, and a ruined military base --- also involves much hiking around. In essence, it gives you a good overview of Fallout 3.

[dolio]

I’ve been feeling rather “spread out” lately. I think Bob’s kinda shoved my insides around some.

The tree tore his heart out of his chest and it's now underground, but he's still alive until you go and shoot it? So he's a slightly modified version of Davy Jones from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies?

 

[lightbane]

I vote for the most painless death possible, 'cause that poor character does not deserve this rape... SO BURN HIM DOWN!!! AND KILL THESE UNHOLY HIPPIES!!!

 

[Hoodoo]

i vote over 9000 plasma mines

 

[Unkillable Cat]

I actually saw the bit of Harold on Youtube, and although it's not Charlie Adler voicing him, the voice actor they got instead is no slouch either, Stephen Russell. Garrett. Or, in this case, Benny the guard.

And I vote to kill it with fire, but I wouldn't object to seeing what the alternatives are.

You gave me a reason to play fallout 3. Hmmm... In fact, I'll probably just play this quest. And leave.

Maybe I'll even forget this fact.
