Fallout 3: How to be an evil SOB

VIDEOS: The ultra-gory exploits of the biggest meanie-pants who ever left Vault 101

Words: Tyler Wilde, GamesRadar US

Spoiler Alert: This article contains massive spoilers - proceed at your own risk.

If you were like me on my first playthrough of Fallout 3, you just couldn't do it. You couldn't pull the trigger, choose the cruelest dialog, or pal around with worst terrorists. Maybe you broke into a few houses, stole some empty whiskey bottles, slapped around a few back-talking civilians, but you never cut Moira's head off and laughed as it rolled around on the floor.

So if you're planning to play it safe until you make character number two, you might want to know: just what happens if...? We sacrificed our morals to find out.

If you don't want anything ruined for you, go be an asshole yourself.

Despite sounding remarkably like Sarah Palin, there's something charming about Megaton's ditsy shopkeeper Moira. But if charm slides off you like butter, and you prefer crushing ambition to encouraging it, you can talk her out of her plans to write the Wasteland Survival Guide. Hey now, it's okay, this way you'll have more ammo for me to buy, and I even get a perk out of the deal! See, something good comes from everything!

Somehow, we hate ourselves for hurting the feelings of a collection of prerecorded dialog.

If you've played at all, you should know that early in the game you have a few choices - one of which is to blow the shit out of all the little people in Megaton. For some reason our sassy friend Moira seems to always get the brunt of our bad deeds.

Do you like Galaxy News Radio's soothing tunes, but hate the snarky interruptions from Three Dog? Well, after his usefulness in your search for Dad expires, you can put him away like just another filthy mole rat.

am i a bad person to say that i did most of these on my first run through?

I would say you are cold-hearted, and definetly sociopathic, if this game was a psychological exam.

I have yet to try the evils of Fallout 3, but it doesn't appeal to me, anyway.

see,the thing was, i had a good profile. then, on the PC version, i made a LIVE profile as a bad person. i found many other things on the bad profile so i just stuck with that. i used GR's First few levels guide to make a good character yesterday.

also, i will everyone in Vault 101 while wearing the hockey mask and wielding the Ripper. it was very, very gory.

@ hut23
If you have to ask the answer is probably yes.

I had no idea you can return back into Vault 101 later in the game. When does this opportunity come to the player in the game?

Blowing up a town and F*%$#@g up all the survivors is still not hardcore enough, smoke's fatality is still pretty badass.
TheFish  - 1 year 17 days ago

After a certain Main Quest involving the Jefferson Memorial (first time), go back to the Vault. you should pick up a Emergency Vault 101 radio signal. after tuning in to it, you learn the new password to the door. go into the vault and do whatever you want. as i stated before, i went Jason on them. yes, i accidentally wrote "also, i will everyone" when i was supposed to write Also, i killed everyone.

I thought I was the only who thought she sounded like Palin!

Poor Moira...but a small sacrifice to pay for the sweet sensation of evilness. Sometimes you gotta break a few eggs to makes some omelets
Cwf2008  - 1 year 15 days ago 
Huh i never thought of it before but Moria does sound like Palin...makes sense seeing as they're both mentally unstable, annoying jackasses
Pyro240  - 1 year 15 days ago 
Wow, Moira does sound like Palin...

lol best evil thing ive done is chase simm's son around his house with a sledgehammer :L
i felt pure evil
betrayals are also fun: agreeing to help roy phillips then turning around and blowing his head up, blowing up megaton then killing burke and tenpenny
Tymiegie  - 1 year 13 days ago 
Yeah betrayals are great. I found the declaration of Independence with some chick and after we got it and left I murdered her for her gun
