Fallout 1 Ending (Bad)

[@emmanuelglazer1247]

the overseer put up a pretty good last stand... until he got punched in the face

[@mariojump-man2999]

Emmanuel Glazer I'm pretty sure that turret can swivel, so why didn't he just spin the turret super fast. Resulting in the super mutants being knocked off and leaving him a chance to kill them?

All was lost. Even if he would had killed them, he'd still get killed by the army of the mutants. That turret doesn't have legs or tracks... he can escape the vault.

[@feron_ve]

Id be honest with you. For a super smart leader able to control his mutants. Why not send muties with guns against the overseer and not to primes you wanted in the first place ? This way the Master gets his primes subdued and the overseer dead all the while keeping existing troops alive.

Most bad endings is just “You failed at being the hero, now they don’t like you…” Here they showed the grim aspects of what would happen if you sided with the villain. It might be the graphics or what but they portrayed that horror so well. Literally you can watch as the mutants outright slaughter your fellow Vault Dwellers and straight up over whelm the overseer and literally beat him to death. I think what helps also is that your not watching some movie cutscene the typical way but it’s introduced through Security Cam footage. Really elevates the horror element i think.

This is (semi) incomplete. There is a narration by Ron Pearlman that was cut and restored by the "fixt" patch...it makes everything even more creepy. Basically it says that the super mutants managed to avoid most of the casualties due to your knowledge of the vault security..it then says that it was YOU who killed the overseer at last. Then it says that you will grow into one of the most loyal and strong mutants ...but the doubt will always remain on what could have been I seriously suggest everyone to give the fixt version a shot...it adds ton of cut content and makes some interface changes that are just a blessing (loot all button.."move away"dialogue for companions as in fallout 2..mouse scroll...)

That's what the old Fallouts have which Fallout 3 is lacking in. In the real world, there is no true good, everyone, no matter benevolent they seem, always have an ulterior motive, a grey morality. Even if you did save the land from the Master, your story of defeating Unity would inspire future generations to leave the vault, which go against the overseer's orders to maintain life in the vault for more experiments by vault Tec. Therefore, in order to preserve his vault, the overseer had no choice but to ask you to leave. THAT is great writing right there.

You'd expect that the Institute would produce more intelligent Super Mutants. The ones in FO4 are on par with the DC Super Mutants even though their production is guided by Institute super genius scientists. The Master guided the production of the West Coast Super Mutants to create Mutants with normal human level intellect and he was basically just a mutant blob. Surely the Institute could do better. That's always bothered me and i wish they had a different origin for the Boston Super Mutants than the Institute for that exact reason. It should have been like a West Tek FEV facility in the Glowing Sea or something.

Not really efficient though, they were supposed to convert them into hulks, not slaughter them all. Art wise, it did give a bigger impact on the ending. Normally you have a timer to end the game and Vault 13 is the very last so I think this ending can happen even when you don't get captured and converted. Vault Dweller might just decide to get the hell out of here when super mutant army pushes north, but where is he going to go? He's in the middle of wasteland.

@@masterexploder9668 The raid on the vault does happen if time runs out and you've fixed the water problem. There is a separate FMV of the vault dying of thirst if the timer runs out before you bring back the water chip. Also, sending water caravans to the vault to extend the thirst timer actually shortens the invisible timer on when the mutants find the vault.

[@WolfMan-nf4lv]

What the Interplay Fallouts got right: atmosphere. Yeah, part of it is the old graphics might make it feel creepier but, imagining this in modern graphics I’d get the same feeling. There’s a reason this ending is one of the most terrifying in the franchise. Lack of narration, the sounds of only gunshots, screams, and thumping around whether it’s mutants punching humans to a pulp or the mutants simply walking around... really gives off a “doomed” feeling. Like, a hopeless doomed feeling. This game nailed it right on with atmosphere and I absolutely wish newer fallouts could have had this same dark and bleak atmosphere that this had. Fallout’s been missing that gut wrenching bleakness since these games. Truly hardcore.

[@SyndicateOperative]

Honestly, it was just fallout 1 that had this vibe. Fallout 2 was purely goofy, it was a late-90s collection of memes and cultural references. Think... monty python references, pac-man impressions, the player becoming a gimp, shit-talking someone over the phone, etc.

[@0lionheart]

It's always bugged me how in this ending, and in the Fallout 2 intro, we see the antagonists killing unarmed Vault Dwellers when in both cases they wanted as many "prime normals" as possible for their cause. I know it's likely here that these are the low intelligence foot soldiers and they're just raging, but it would've been nice to include a clip of the rest being dipped, to show that was the reason for cracking V13 and not just to slaughter them. Irregardless, absolutely brilliant ending, really makes the lighter endings feel more meaningful since you see here what could happen to the Vault!

The one thing that I hated and made me feel very sad and uneasy is that whenever the vault dweller is getting dropped into FEV even if you choose to side with the master the body movement and the way the mutants strap he or she up makes it feel sad for the vault dweller having to spend the rest of his life has a mutant and since mutants can hold their own memories and emotions he would have felt terrible seeing his or her entire vault be slaughtered by the very things that stripped the vault dweller of their sanity, life, friends, family and humans cause with the vault dweller gone and in the ranks of the mutant army no one can stop them cause there won't be the enclave because the mutant army would have grown in exponential amounts of numbers for them to even get the FEV they needed to modify and wipe the earth of existence and since the army wanted to take the world they would expand and keep expanding and since their mutants and most likely are intelligent they'll know what to do in situations that occur in many of the fallout games, but this will never be a problem in the near future because like the info you get in fallout 1 the mutants are all sterile and the reproductive organs were destroyed in the process of FEV mutating the hosts body effectively dooming the mutant army do die out and there are not many humans at all in the entire world because in the fallout 2 opening slide the narrator tells us after the war the earth was nearly wiped clean of life but even though there are vaults many of them were experiments and would have most likely killed the residents inside there for the mutant army and the vault dweller who could still be alive at this point would die out after the next generation effectively already destroying the very foundation of the mutant army had before it even started.

This is only one Vault that perished, imagine the other vaults around the country that faced the same outcome or worse

[@skrabman]

like how they showed the vault dweller just struggling for his life and all you can do is just watch

[@a.k8185]

That overseer chair can be seen in new vegas.

[@CoPilot121]

I felt sad for the dwellers they didn't even have a chance

[@Leblunk]

this is sad, creepy, cool, and disheartening

Funny part the Master's plan will eventually fail.

[@hellheight8243]

I don’t know what it is about it but the mix of old 90s computer graphics and the horrific things that happen terrify me

[@DBZNation1992]

Horrifying ending you feel the dread and regret after you beat the game this way

[@JacobG2801]

Been playing through this game all the way through for the first time, got this ending once getting taken from Necropolis and another time after talking to the master. Not the ending I want to go with but holy shit, what an absolutely dreadful ending, which I mean in the best possible way. Watching your character struggle as he's dipped into an FEV vat, watching the mutants beat a vault dweller, gun down another as another woman looks back at him, the overseer putting up a decent fight until eventually being overpowered. So incredibly well done, made me feel helpless.

[@Cacowninja]

What was that loud noise at the end? Was that something exploding in the vault or just the power being taken out by the attack? I can't believe the overseer is the only one who's armed! Everybody should've been armed! At least they would've been better protected! Damn this is just sad and gruesome! I just got this game and the waterchip to the vault. Let's hope I save everyone and DON'T get this ending.

[@Iron_Arnie]

Hahaha)) Have you bringed water chip to the vault?

[@Iron_Arnie]

I just saw this ending in finale, got it randomly, just by choosing wrong answer in dialogue. Damn, this is so disturbing and depressing... truly, I saw creepiest things, but... this scene is one of the worst things I've ever seen :(

[@Cacowninja]

@@Iron_Arnie Yes I delivered it to the vault with 60 days to spare.

[@ILOVEFRIES-q2y]

ok this ending is lowkey terrifying lmao

[@thedipermontshow]

Ngl, this is what I love about old graphics, it can make a scene way more creepy. Maybe that's why I love Fallout 1.

"Grr I hate this game" "Oooh! Shiny new cosmetic! Daddy yes!"

[@palkoescobar5997]

When I make a game, the graphics are gonna be like in Fallout 1 and 2. Not just for the sake of nostalgia, but because (in my opinion) these graphics work better then what we have today. Sure we have 60fps with Ray-tracing and what-not, but the simplicity and jank just adds a certain flavour that today's graphics are just unable to live up to.

[@TACO_BELL-bs9pv]

Vault Dweller after that incident: woopsies poopsies

[@sindobrandnew]

This is really scary ending.

[@BasedHorrigan]

Closest thing to that Vault 13 outcome is Vault 3 in new vegas

[@SushiLord89]

I never understood WHY they kill everyone in the vault when they originally wanted them to fuel the master's army.

[@nepspartan-7597]

The mutants that came from prime normals (humans with miniscule to no radiation) knew to bring back anybody that didn't resist while the ones that were irradiated when they were converted didn't have adequate intelligence to keep to the order and started killing everyone.

[@WalterEKurtz-kp2jf]

After all these years i thought i had seen all the endings

[@frozenstorm1658]

Why are they killing all the vault dwellers? I thought they wanted to make more mutants

[@FenrirWolfganger]

+Frozen storm Incompetence and blood thirst. In Fallout 2 Marcus the Supermutant says that they weren't careful enough who they turned into Supermutants. You can even meet remnants of The Master's Army who'll attack you're party even with him.

[@batteryacid2649]

This irritated me so much. It's like this ending is forced on you and there's no other option if you get stuck with this Lieutenant guy.

[@thejummyjum6207]

Can't they just get the explorer perk and locate the vault that way

[@NickMartinproductions]

What people seem to gloss over is the fact that we actually SEE how this process works. Like, the Master wasn’t lying. He seriously put people in vats of chemicals and turned them into freaks

[@grimace3983]

i know everyone is saying it but it's such a disturbing and sad ending. you get to watch your character be forcibly turned into a mutant, seeing them transform then stop struggling. then you get to watch as the people you betrayed and lived with get mercilessly slaughtered (and some probably captured to be dipped into the FEV) with the final shot being the overseer implied to have been violently beaten to death, all through the cold screen of security footage. it's depressing, thank God not canon

[@thrillhouse4151]

The way I see it, becoming a super mutant is the best possible outcome of any fallout game, to go, BEYOND!

[@Niberspace]

but then the world ends? super mutants cannot reproduce

[@spiritwalker2083]

I’ve never played fallout 1 or seen much of it so this may sound stupid but... how did the mutants get through the vault door since I doubt any of them would work a Pip-Boy, and the master clearly isn’t in any position to do so, and surely the overseer could lock out the connection between the vault and Pip-Boy, if not then wow vault tec.. you seriously didn’t think anything would go wrong without a fail safe for the pip boy in case test subjects got them? Well... ok

[@grabyourdickanddoublekickt1053]

the vault's door got blown open

[@hansmartell9162]

@@grabyourdickanddoublekickt1053 they bombed the door, that is, they used heavy-caliber weapons

[@zackshekelstein1034]

the vault door isnt made of vibranium, they can destroy it/blow it up since the master's army had access to many explosive and heavy weapons

[@CertifiedFresh7]

The animation style of the cutscenes from the first two games is so creepy

[@Patriot098765432]

I wonder why they killed some people in the vault. They needed them alive, to make them supermutants.

[@Anonymous8421]

So the others didn't try to fight back and gave up

[@fella_named_smokey]

These animations were really good for the time

[@christiantheserioustemplar3343]

It is done.. Vault 13 belongs to the Unity and the Master.. Your knowledge of the Vault defenses saved many mutant lives during the attack.. You personally made the final kill when you took the life of the Overseer.. You will certainly become one of the finest soldiers for the Unity, and your skills will see you rewarded often in the future.. You are happy, but there remains the tiniest doubt of what could have been…

[@deltasword1994]

I never understood why they were slaughtering the vault residents. Didn't they want them so they could dip them into the FEV and trunk them into smart super mutants?

[@xenerith5536]

I think it’s just the ones who fought back that were killed

[@SyndicateOperative]

Part of the issue is also that the majority of the super mutants were... kind of stupid. I imagine a high enough percentage yield of the populace of the vault would've been considered a success.

[@kenbeimer]

Don't share these things if you skip dialogue.
