Son, you detonated a nuclear weapon and killed many innocent people?

The other day someone told me the ending of Fallout 3 was very impactful since you sacrificed your life.

...Only to wake up two weeks later for the DLC which is presumably canon (or Bethesda canon, anyway.)

Soooo impactful. The unnecessary and meaningless sacrifice is somehow rendered even more unnecessary and meaningless. Good job Bethesda writers.
