Honestly, makes sense that most people turn out to be saints when playing as the Lone Wanderer. 101's father is special. He has a wonderful soul in such a horrible world.
Fallout 3's evil options are a bit too over the top. Blow up a whole settlement, unleash a horde of ghouls into a tower so they can kill all the inhabitants, literally force children into slavery. You'd have to be roleplaying a complete psychopath to take some of those options lol. I think New Vegas handled evil choices a bit better.
Especially when he ask us why we left to vault. There is not even an option to say "the overseer and the security want me dead and they killed Jonas". Thanks bethesda.
@@VayliraKayvex it also helps that they had a purifier, capable of purifying millions of gallons of water instantly, up and running a few years before FNV
James is my favorite Fallout 3 character, not because of Liam Neeson, but his personality as "James" as a selfless character, who simply wishes to do good for all of the commonwealth and humanity itself by trying to purify the radiated water, where people will no longer have to suffer from the contaminated water, but ultimately he wanted his good deed to be the "example" so one day humanity itself could redeem itself and have some sort of hope then slowly change the hellscape that is the fallout world; where civilization has fallen apart, which is ruled by chaos and violence. What makes James an epic character, is his conviction and principle, where he lived by his principle and conviction that is not selfish and misguided but simply humble and very human despite James task and his attempt to purify those contaminated water which itself is an achievement itself, in a world where people now care for their own self-preservation to driven by their greed to violence to extreme hedonism to those who are driven by their own selfish ideologies in attempt to remake the world to suit their own need. Especially in such a world, James stands out, where his selflessness and great desire to do good stand out and much as he lived his own principle, he is willing to die for it which makes James not only a martyr but also a visionary, revolutionary to a kind of his own.
Dad: A plan which clearly was not as successful as I imagined it would be. What I wanted to say, me: Oh you know, having the Overseer trying to kill me and torture Amada because you left didn't exactly help either. Dad: What?! Me: Oh yeah, let me TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THAT SHIT SMEAR.
This is what I miss the most about Fallout, people are quick to say F3's storyline was meh, but I thoroughly enjoyed spending my adult time with James and watching him sacrifice himself to save you was just heart wrenching. An absolute masterpiece.
No politics, no misrable sanctimonious grey choices that don't mean anything, no terrible demoralizing writing. This scene is just you talking to your dad and asking him why he left and how it all ended up here, a heart to heart conversation that's it, how did this type of media get so corrupted by snakes now?
@@marko-gj1uj wow shocking a industry full of parasites who ruin my favorite franchise, maybe "they" (Bethesda) should stop making games and obsidian and Tim Cain (waaaahhh i was looked at weird in the 90s for being gay) should stop as well just let fallout die already.
I loved how fallout 3 did the karma system. It was actually difficult to be a good character since the only way you get good karma is from completing the good version of quest. Most quest can be completed by killing someone, but the good version of the quest requires you to solve what ever conflict was happening.

@@silversnail1413 Indeed.... *Nukes both the legion and the ncr*
fallout 3 evil choices would fit courier alot
Fallout 3 and 4 evil choices don't work when the character has an origin story
I'm sad that you don't get to tell dad the results of what happened to Vault 101 after he took his little stroll.
Especially when he ask us why we left to vault. There is not even an option to say "the overseer and the security want me dead and they killed Jonas". Thanks bethesda.
@@FlyJonatright. I never understood this. The vault went into complete chaos because James left the vault
I was dissapoimted that Dad didnt have more screentime.
I loved interacting with him
Notice in NV, a few mere years later, purified water is incredibly more common.
It helps that the bombs didn't fall over the Mojave to the same extent they did in the capital wasteland

That makes absolutely no sense, new vegas happens on the other side of the USA and hoover dam has been operational since before the war.

Well said.
Except he kills himself, another scientist, and attempts to destroy the purifier, just so Colonel Autumn can't activate it.
@@Tee_B the other scientist was already dead
Beautiful way to say it ❤
*"What's the big deal about water anyways?"*
That is like arguably the worst dialouge choice but I suppose because of your ignorance living in the vault they put that in
10/10 writing
Yeah
We can drink pepsi right?
James has a particular set of skills.
He will find you, and he will will purify your water ☺️
@@brendankelly2653 and in the water, there's always a bigger fish.

I’m an Irish boy myself and when I first heard his voice I think I climaxed.

When can we get a fallout game where we don't have to leave the vault
fallout new vegas?
@@Jshvc_ i misunderstood, i thought he ment that in not leaving a vault you were never in one to begin with
