Fallout 3 ending videos

Do the NPC's lack facial expressions? Just looks like their voices change in mood, but they continue to show fairly blank expressions. I need to see more videos of conversations.

This popped up in my mind this afternoon but could someone perhaps the lines of the FO3 ending with those of the Kirk and Spock scene at the end of Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan.

I realized that is what the ending reminded me of.

World... out of danger?

I actually would have applauded them for parodying that scene. Yeah, it's an unoriginal way to end the game (though not much less than what they have) but at least it'd be funny. Hell, I'd rather had them go Quest for Glory 1.5 with the entire game than what they did, even if it was canonical.
 
Am I the only one that gets nothing from the site that's hosting the end-game videos?

I mean, not one of them loads for me. I get the age check, and then an endless "Loading" message.

They're poker faced all the way. Doesn't matter if you're evil incarnate, or goody two-shoes, if you just saved/shot at their kid. But that's the least of the game's problems.

[spoiler:71235ab887]I know there is no point in bringing up what could have been but perhaps the FO3 ending would have been stronger if Dad had survived till the end.

There is a discussion between you, dad, Lyons and perhaps a companion of who will go into the chamber to activate the purifier.
Then suddenly dad runs of into the chamber and seals the door behind him.
The player or Lyons knocks on the window to get out but dad refuses to to listen as he activates the machine.

The slowly he walks to you as the chamber starts to fill with radiation, he tells you that he knew that he had to make the decision after he abandoned the project 19 years ago, in order to make up to you, your mother and the few good people in the wasteland.

Then he starts to slump down as his body functions start to shut down.
Dad tells you that he wants to you to live and try to find some happiness in your own life, and that he has no regret giving his life.

Then the game pretty much ends for now; your father is dead, you can never return to Vault 101, and now have to make your own destiny.[/spoiler:71235ab887]

Probably, but not dramatic enough :P
 
I would have liked it more if something happened that would automatically kill anyone. Like, I dunno, a big pipe falling and piercing your head, or a wounded Enclave soldier shoots you in the head with a gauss gun.

Owners of the game should come together and file a lawsuit against them for false advertising. They did it with Oblivion with the RAI video and now they did it with Fallout 3, except there is absolutely no room for interpretation here and they never took back their statement. That said, their last number on the total number of endings was 500+.

It seems that the ending sequence is even more blatantly moronic than we may have thought at first. Bethesda wrote itself into a corner, and instead of scraping that idea they insisted on it with despite its obvious flaws.

[spoiler:47ae7a0741]Not only was the Power Armor/Rad-X issue largely ignored (and it could be easily circumvented with only a couple of dialogue lines, Lyons mentioning damage to your armors and how not even Rad-X could shield you from that much radiation), but you can get there with a Super Mutant companion, who is immune to radiation. If you do take Fawkes, there's an option to ask him to go - but he'll flat-out refuse, telling it's the culmination of your fate or somesuch. Geez, thanks a lot, you lazy fucker.[/spoiler:47ae7a0741]
 
Some people are reporting that doing some small things, like rebuilding some kind of monument, added an small slide to the ending.

Yes, the only changes are some slides, but no narrations for the locations or side quests.
 
[spoiler:89485d2333]*sigh*, i was finally starting to kinda enjoy the game and then the ending screwed it all over.
It started when i came back from the Enclave base, i walked into the BoS building with the friendly super mutant (and i managed to get their star paladin killed), and no one said anything about it even tho they have been killing super mutants for the last 20 years or some bullshit like that.
And then when we get to the chamber i tell her i will do it, so i ask the mutant since he walked through heavy radiation before and he says some crap about how i need to do it (but he runs into the chamber with me anyway).
And then i get killed by the radiation, in my power armor with helmet, and with 15+ rad-away on me, after taking 10+ rad-x... what the hell?
And i was so looking forward to going back to Vault 101, marrying that girl and enjoying a early retirement from being the hero.[/spoiler:89485d2333]

-1 for RPG
-1 for game's Intelligence
+1 for Bethesda's laziness
-1 for Creativness
and the rank of "Fallout fans' enemy number One!" for destroying the franchise with their lies.

I remember, when Beth first started work on this franchise, fans were saying that if they succeed they will gain the best fans on Earth, but if they fail... they will gain the worst enemies they could get.

I hope for Bethesda's bankruptcy...
 
OK, I've checked the ending videos files, and found this:

[spoiler:055bbf107f]There are 26 videos total:

- 1 for the beggining of the ending.

- 3 for karma. One good, one evil and one that says "The capital wasteland proved a cruel, inhospitable place". I believe it's the neutral ending.

- 1 for restoring Lincoln's head.

- 1 for giving Agatha the violin.

- 1 that show a guy in a pier, Maggie from Megaton and a merchant. I don't know about what is this for.

- 1 for blowing up Megaton.

- 1 for doing something evil with Harold, it seems.

- 1 for killing everyone in Rivet city or something like that.

- 3 for your ending choice. Sacrificing yourself, letting the BoS girl sacrifice herself and one for letting the place explode.

- 3 for the FEV. One for using it, another for not using it and the last one for not using it and convincing Eden to destroy himself.

- 2 for the closing part of the ending, one with a male figure and another with a female one.

- 8 are for your picture with dad at the end. Four races and two for the sex.

So, apart from the karma, FEV and ending choice ones, there are only 6 that show what you did in the game. They could made much more, even without narration, showing how you ended all the quests in the game. They are not that much, since there are only 17 side quests.

For example, showing how you handled the vault 101 situation later in the game, the Tenpenny ghoul problem and many others... Anyway, pretty dissapointing ending, especially considering it was an easy thing to do since they already had the previous Fallouts as an example.[/spoiler:055bbf107f]
 
Well if my math is right and all of slides for completing a quest are optional then there are 27,648 "permutations", though not taking the race and gender ones (last two) you have 1728. I still say that it's a load of crap to consider different pictures an entire different ending, narration is far more interesting and important IMO.
 
It really seems like three actual endings, some parts of which (the "waters of life" thing, for instance) seem like they happen no matter what.
 
[spoiler:b91d3b12f8]Yes, there is a beggining, that's always the same and happens always, then your karma, then the optional slides, then your choice regarding the waters of life, after that the FEV, then the closing video and finally the picture with your dad.[/spoiler:b91d3b12f8]
