I'm finally writing about Fallout 3. It's one of the best games in my option, with its V.A.T.S. targeting system and its excellent storyline. But there is one plot hole: when you get back to Project Purity to activate it, where's your father's body? Thinking about it, I eventfully came up with a story to explain it in the form of a Fallout 3 add-on.
Something to take note is that perks come in when necessary, so they might not be in an order. All the add-ons are included, so if you don't get something, it's probably from an add-on. And here's a little background information on my Lone Wanderer:
Caucasian male with brown hair, very high karma, level 30, and is skilled 100% in everything. I'm not giving out his name yet, but it'll probably be presented in the future.
So without further ado, read on!
It was a normal day in the Capital Wasteland. The irradiated birds where flying overhead, raiders were mutilating some poor bastard, and the citizens of Megaton were wasting caps (and time) at Moriarty's Saloon.
There was an interesting group in the bar today. One was a bluish dog with a blue and green. The other one was a ghoul that stood a foot tall over everyone else. Finally, the last person was the "leader" of this little trio. He wore what seemed to be an armored version of a Vault 101 jumpsuit along with a hat that made him appear shady. On his left arm was a device called a Pip-boy 3000. A series, if you please.
The radio was blaring a message known as Three Dog.
"Helllllloooooo Capital Wasteland! You got clean water in your fridge and no monsters under your bed? Well, you should. It's been 2 years since our shining knights in power armor swept the Enclave aside like a Super Mutant through a radrouch. But this wouldn't have been possible without our very own Messiah. Now, the question for today is: Where is he? Nobody's seen hide nor hair of our friend from a Vault in a while. What happened to you? Did purifying the Wasteland from Super Mutants and Feral Ghouls become boring for you? Are you hanging up the Fat Man for good? 'Cause we at GNR Studio don't think that's a good idea. Sure, you've earned your rest, after everything you've done, but we want to see that friendly face once again. So 101, please come back to us, or else I'll have to hire someone to drag you out."
Three Dog paused before saying, "So to anyone who knows where he is, please come to GNR Studio. We need you, man. We need the Lone Wan-"
The man turned off the radio and took a drink of beer. Moriarty looked sadly at him.
"That man has a point, you know," Moriarty said. "Even though I love how you put all your caps into my pocket, I have to ask why you stopped going out there."
The man looked Moriarty and said, "What's the use? I've got every weapon imaginable, a T51-b power armor, and a shit-load of caps to spend in this life and the next. I mean, there's nothing else to do. I'm the Lord of the Pitt and captain of a freaking spaceship. It's not like someone will some in through that door and tell me something that will make me go on a quest."
At that precise moment, a stranger walked through the door of the saloon. It wasn't anyone around town, or anyone the L.W. ever met. He looked as though he was a teen, but with a young face. His hair was in the style of a clean cut. He wore blue jeans, black shoes, and a lab coat that stopped at the waist.
The boy looked around until he found the man in the Vault 101 suit. He took a seat next to him.
"Are you the Lone Wanderer?" he asked the figure.
The L.W. took a swig and said, "What's it to you?"
"Well, I kind of need you help freeing my people from oppression."
"Are they slaves?" he asked.
"Not exactly, but-"
"Then go away. I'm done adventuring."
The boy just smiled.
"I bet I can say four words that would make you help me and do a wonderful spit take."
"Try me," said the Lone Wanderer, and took another swig.
The figure smiled and said:
"Your father's still alive."
After apologizing to Mortiarty, the L.W. turned to the teen.
"What do you mean?" said the Ranger of the Wastes.
"Exactly what I mean. Your father is still alive and being held by the Enclave. Where do you think the body went?"
101 was going to say where his father was at, but something else came to mind.
"What do you mean, 'Where did you think the body went?'"
The boy smirked and said, "Meet me at the Pentagon, or the Citadel, as it is now called. I'll reveal everything there." And with that walked out the door.
The L.W. pushed open the door…but no-one was there.
He sighed and turned to his ghoul, Charon.
"Get my power armor. I have a feeling I'm going to need it."
Yes, the plot is set! The story will be about how 101 rescues his father. But nothing is ever that easy in the Wasteland.
…But it won't be set in the Capital Wasteland
