Loved this :) Loved the melancholy reflection of it, being taken through the journey as something more than a series of tasks within a game. It’s rare to read something as reflective as this when it comes to games journalism so I feel fully refreshed after reading it :)

Having just come to terms with the fact there’s no point playing Fallout 3 anymore, other than going over the same ground again and again, it was lovely to step into someone else’s experiences of the game for a brief moment.

Well, I feel that the cosmos is that much more at peace with itself, thanks to the efforts of this great lady. :)

Must remember to spread the fear and destruction, next time I lay waste to another part of that already blasted land. You know, just to reset the balance. :D

Ha ha, well he wanted me to kill him and I tried to talk him out of it, but then I didn’t know how to get to his heart. I was also annoyed about that underwater cavern so I thought I’d see what a rocket launcher would do. Sometimes I still hear his screams on the winds.

You torched Harold? How could you!

He was perhaps the best character in the whole game, I felt real empathy for the barky old bugger.

I destroyed Button and use his wig whenever I trade (along with travelling merchant trousers). He was slagging off us British afterall. As for Harold, I must have missed something obvious but didn’t know where to go. After fighting lots of Mirelurks in an underwater cavern that didn’t seem to go anywhere, I torched the bugger, lol. I did do what Agatha wanted though and I’m generally a good guy in the game/my other life.

Just a few of the many things to do in what used to be Washington DC, now known as The Wastelands. I have enjoyed my journey from one corner to the next, and there are still new locations to investigate or to re-visit.

I have made a home, made friends, I even have a pet, met many survivors and fought all manner of creatures, machines and human enemies. There is still a threat out there, and I will do my part to protect this part of the world.

I hear the call of The Brotherhood,I feel we can help each other. Soon I will be back in the wastelands, and beware anyone who stands in my way…
