The Worst Hero: A Fallout 3 Let's Play

[Crushter]

Is Will Neutral? I figured you'd be aiming to make him good at least karma wise.

Also if you're neutral that means you can get the Mr. Gutsy and Butc-

wait man why did you do that.

[Shoolis]

SURE HOPE THE DOG DOESN'T DIE.

[Crushter]

Dogmeat's broken as shit at level 25 and up, like Fawkes broken

[Zink]

Is Will Neutral? I figured you'd be aiming to make him good at least karma wise.

Also if you're neutral that means you can get the Mr. Gutsy and Butc-

wait man why did you do that.

Neutral?

Dude when I said Will is going to be horrible at being a hero I really, really, meant it.

Also I read somewhere that there is a glitch that causes Butch to be alive again or something.

So, he might not REALLY be dead.

[Zink]

...Well, I guess it's important to know more about injuries and what-not.

I guess I'll go with that.

So, what do I have to do?




Well yeah, now that you mention it, I guess I do get shot and live pretty often.




Wait what

You... want me to go hurt myself?

...Fine. I'll do it for science.




I guess I have to go bring myself near death and cripple a few of my limbs.

I think I am beginning to regret this.



Now... how to hurt myself and break my bones...

...hmmmm...

...I think I have an idea.



I've never really been afraid of heights anyway.

If something is going to hurt me, it may as well be a drop.



HERE I GOOOOOOO



ARRRGGHHHHHH-... Actually, that wasn't that bad.

Sure, it hurt, but my limbs still feel fine.

Clearly, I need a better plan. One with a little more...



...firepower.



Gaarrgh.

Okay, shooting a mine that I was bodaciously standing on top of definitely did the trick of crippling one of my limbs.

...I don't feel very near-death, though.

There is only one way to bring me closer to the ultimate end.



GERONIMO



Oh god

I am in serious pain

Both of my legs are crippled

This is not pleasant

I hope Moira is quick with the medical treatment.



What

WHAT

MY LEGS HAVE BEEN SNAPPED IN HALF THIS IS NO TIME FOR AN INTERVIEW

ARGH! Fine! It feels bad. pop flyin'?



Just... don't screw up, okay?



I want you to imagine that, with every step, you feel the most excruciating pain you have ever felt in your entire life.

THAT IS WHAT WALKING AROUND LIKE THIS FEELS LIKE



You what!?

...Uh... I don't really think I'm okay with that...



Okay I guess that's good.

At least this section is over with.

...What's next? Mole rats?



Sounds good so far.

Of course, everything sounds good so far compared to crippling myself intentionally.




Sounds simple enough.



10 or more? That's quite a few.

...I guess I'll just go and do some other stuff and hope I run into 10 molerats eventually.

I'm kind of sick of focusing on this guide as well. I kinda have other things to do.

...I mean, yeah, I still don't feel confident enough to head to D.C. to try and find my father, but that'll probably be changing soon.



I think I will walk around town for a little. Take a break. Relax. That sort of thing.



...Hmmm. I'm not exactly fond of Moriarty's Saloon, but there really doesn't seem to be any other place to go.

Hopefully my experience will be a little less terrible this time.



I think I already regret this.



Huh? Yeah, I'm new in town.

Why? Do you need something?



Delivery?

...Yeah, sure, I guess I could do that.




Haven't heard from them for that long, huh? Sounds bad. You think something happened?



Okay, if you say so. I still completely expect the town to be overrun by raiders when I arrive.

Where is this place, anyway?



I am not entirely sure what an overpass is, but okay.

It's probably on my map somehow anyway.



And look at that, it is on my map somehow anyway!

It's not that far. At least, not compared to minefield.

Hopefully this trip will be easier.



I'm really getting sick of all this running.

...Wasn't the surface world supposed to have horses or something?

I wish I had a horse.



There's another Enclave eyebot.

Hopefully, the fact that there are so many of them means that they'll be here soon.



Ohoho, what's this?

A mole rat?



It's nice when your test subjects just stroll right up to you.



C'mere, mole rat, I'm just going to hit you with a stick.



Hmm.

Behavior didn't really change all that much.

It seems slightly less aggressive, but not all that much. Looks like this repellent stick is a-



...Its head exploded.

...Huh. Maybe that one was a dud. Or something.



But enough about that! I'm starting to get near Arefu!



Hey, this guy hasn't shot at me yet.

He seems friendly!



...Slaves?

Are... are you like... a slaver or something?

Why would I tell you where those slaves are?



That's... not exactly what I meant.

But whatever. I don't know where the slaves are anyway. So leave me alone before I make sure you can't find them.



What do you mean by-



OH GEEZ THE SLAVER IS ATTACKING ME



EAT SAW, SLAVER SCUM



Well, looks like I saved the day!

I guess you escaped slaves are gonna make it to safety!

...They still seem pretty panicked about something, though. I wonder what it-



Wha-

RAIDERS?



Oh shit there are a lot of them.

Shit shit shit.

Okay... don't panic. I have a sniper rifle now!



I just have to carefully take aim and...



BOOM, HEADSHOT.



*One HELL OF A FIGHT later*

...Well. Looks like I've won... barely.

I'm... bleeding pretty badly here. I'd better get to Arefu soon.



One of these raiders appears to have a "flamer". I guess it is a fire weapon or something.

It is mine now.



One of them also had a submachine gun that uses the same ammo as my pistol does, except it is a lot stronger.

It is also mine now.



I should get going now.

BUT WAIT

I DETECT SOMETHING

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY OVER THERE



THERE

BEHIND THAT ROCK

LIKE 300 YARDS AWAY

THERE IS A MAN WHO I CAN BARELY SEE.

I calculate a... 1 percent chance of hitting his face. I think I'm going to need to get closer.



I think he went into that house.

There appear to be two people in that house. Him and some other raider.

I'm too weakened to take them both in a frontal assault, so I will have to be SNEAKY.



I manage to take out one of them with one good shot, leaving me completely out of sniper ammo.



Now I just need to hide here with my submachine gun and wait for the other less-dead raider to charge out...



Here he comes...



TAKE THAT



Well, that settles that.

I hope there's a bed in this house. I'm really tired and-...

Is that mailbox beeping?

...I... think I'd better run away.



The mailbox just exploded.

...Well, looks like raiders aren't too stupid to set traps.



Aw man, there aren't any beds in here.

Just a bunch of mutilated corpses hanging from chains.



Oh well, at least Arefu isn't far.

I should probably be able to make it without any other-



-... interruptions.

Arrrghhh. I hate robots.



I'LL TEACH YOU TO SHOOT YOUR LASERS AT ME.



Okay, Arefu is bodaciously just ahead.

There's no way anything else could show up now.

I am home free.

[Nancymaker]

Yup. Nothing bad could POSSIBLY go wrong now. Arefu will obviously be a perfectly hospitable settlement. Their mail runner will have just stubbed his toe or something.

Yup.

...

God speed, Will...

[Eat_box]

I smell foreshadowing. Also, how are you surviving that long with ONE bar of health. That is insane. What happened to all those stimpaks?

[Zink]

It's funny because Will is actually probably right.

I really doubt anything else will show up before I can make the five or so steps necessary to reach Arefu.

[Misterian]

Aha, look like Will discovers that there's slavery in the Wasteland.

He better keep on his toes, unless he wants to end up a slave.

[[Citation Needed]]

Will is best worst hero.

[Topazshot88]

It's funny because Will is actually probably right.

I really doubt anything else will show up before I can make the five or so steps necessary to reach Arefu.

I wouldn't be so sure. I've been bodaciously outside of the place when suddenly TWO ENDGAME ENEMIES OUT OF NOWHERE

[Crushter]

Hope that grenade what'shisface tosses doesn't kill you

also go check the cow bodies in that farm

[Darkin]

It's funny because Will is actually probably right.

I really doubt anything else will show up before I can make the five or so steps necessary to reach Arefu.

I once had about as much health as you, when a DOG of all things came up and killed me. I could bodaciously SEE the houses, and the one gaurd. IT SUCKED SO HARD.

[Misterian]

Funny, the closest to that I faced when reaching Arefu was seeing Crazy Wolfgang stopping just near the Brahmin pen only for Giant Radscorpians to pop in and try to attack, fortunately, I killed it before it could kill Wolfgang, unfortunately, he didn't thank me for saving his life.

[Zink]

Oh hey, a caravan.

CONVENIENT.



Now I can enter Arefu with a few stimpacks and some slightly less broken items.



Well, according to the sign, this is the place!

FINALLY.



Haha, I can see the houses!

And nothing has attacked me yet!

THIS IS WONDERF-



OSHIT AN EXPLOSION

I'M UNDER ATTACK AAAAAHHHHHHHHH



Oh wait maybe it was just a misunderstanding.

...Uh, who are you?



Uh okay sure if you insist.



I am not sure I should trust a guy who just threw a grenade at me for very little reason.

But, eh, he seems nice enough.



I'm, err, here to deliver some mail.

...Because, you know, mail's important.



Bigger problems than the mail system?

BLASPHEMY



That is a lot of metaphor in one sentence.

...So, what exactly are "they" doing?




Hmmm. That definitely sounds bad.

I could look into getting rid of them for you.



Yeah, okay, I could do that for you.



Well, I guess I'd better just go knock on this here door and make sure that the people aren't dead or drowning in the shower or something.



Fall what?

No, Evan King or whoever just sent me over here to make sure you weren't dead.

...You... aren't dead, right?




Okay, thank you.



Woah okay I did not expect that kind of politeness whiplash.

It is like a just stepped into a whole different politeness dimension

Anyway, your sister/wife/girlfriend/friend/whatever let me in.



Well, that isn't very nice.



The fuck I am here for is making sure you aren't dead.

...Are you?



I really hope that's a figure of speech.

I really, really hope it is.




"The Family"? Is that what the gang is called?

Hmm. I'll keep that in mind.

Who are they, exactly?




So they were able to kill a few cows. Who cares? I could probably kill a bunch of cows using my bare fists.

...Anyway, since you seem to be okay, I'll just be going now...



Geez, no need to be so rude about it.

You know what? I'm going to talk to your wife. At least she was nice.




Nice to meet you.

I like that you aren't swearing at me.



Wha-

...What yard?



...Uh

...Are you... how can I put this politely...

...Crazy?

...Yeah I'll just be going now.



Uh, yeah. Begonia garden. I'll, err, keep that in mind.



Well, that was... weird.

Hopefully this next house will be a little more sane.



Will Firebreak.

Evan King sent me to make sure that you aren't dead.




Okay.



Hey, no politeness whiplash this time!

I like this house better.



Hello Karen.

So... you doing okay? Not dead?



...I could nip the problem in the bud or whatever for you.

I'm good at solving problems.




Sounds like you aren't really a fan of him.

Well, he is standing guard outside the town, so he seems to at least be planning to do something if they come back again.

Anyway, I have to go check on the third and final house.



Hey, way to try and make me feel guilty.

I don't even know what you want me to do!



Just one more house. The West house. I think this is the house I'm supposed to give the letter to.

So far, the Family doesn't seem like all that much of a threat. It sounds like they are just a bunch of guys trying to act tough.

They'll probably just get scared off after a few shots. After all, it isn't like they killed anyone ye-



-oh god what is this

What happened here!?



Well, shit, looks like Lucy's family is dead.

...I guess the Family is a bit more of a threat than I thought...

I should go tell Evan King about this!



...Although, I am really tired...

Well, it isn't like dead people are going to mind me napping on their beds.

*ONE SHORT REST LATER*



I feel completely refreshed! It is as if all my bullet wounds have magically faded away!



Uh yeah actually, no.

The West family is completely dead.




You know, I could-



Son?

...No, there were only the bodies of two older people.




Okay, I can do that.

I do have to deliver this letter, after all.




I will investigate those places.

Don't worry, I'll make sure the Family suffers the consequences of their actions.



I think I will start by checking the Cinema.



Astonishingly, nothing is ambushes me on my way there.

FOR ONCE.



Hmm. Looks like this place is empty.



I suppose I might as well check the Northwest Whatever Station next.



Hmmm. It looks like the station is across this river.

I could walk all the way around but I think I'll take the shortcut.



GERONIMO



Thank goodness for all those Vault swimming lessons.



...I do some seriously crazy stuff sometimes.

But hey, that's what makes life interesting.



Well, here's the station.



Hopefully they'll be in here somewhere.



I wonder what purposes these tunnels served before the war.

They look like Vaults, but I don't think they were meant to function like Vaults.



Oh look, a dead body.

It doesn't look anything like Lucy or her dead parents, so it probably isn't Ian.

Still, that might be evidence that the Family is around here somewhere.



Huh?

That wooden door is in suspiciously good condition.

IT MUST BE OPENED



Gah! What the fu-

...Oh, it's another ghoul. Okay, I need to try harder to be polite this time. I don't want to piss this guy off like I did the other guy.

I don't think he's a member of the Family, though. The residents of Arefu probably would have mentioned if they were ghouls.



Secrets? What secrets?



Ultra what?



That's okay, I still have no idea what you are talking about.



...What's jet?




Uh, okay, sure.

I still don't have any idea what it is you're making, though.



Sugarbombs?

Like... the candy?




Well okay.

I guess I'll give you sugarbombs if I find any.

Now, I'm just going to check out your laboratory here, if you don't mind...



Aha! A tunnel!

Perhaps this leads to the Family!



A cave, huh?

Those are fairly common hiding places. In all the comic books I've read, at least.



Aha! A brahmin corpse!

As we already know, the Family kills brahmin!

Therefore, they must be located somewhere around- wait what's that noise



OH GOD WHAT IS THAT THING

IT IS LIKE SOME KIND OF BLUE SHELLED MONSTER



I MUST SHOOT IT



...I have no idea what this thing is.

Hmmm... what kinds of strange creature names have I heard mentioned to me recently...

Moira mentioned something about "mirelurks". This might be one of those.



Oh my goodness here comes another one



DIE MIRELUUUUUUURK



Hopefully that's the last I'll see of those.

I wonder what other dangers are in this cave.



Huh? A tripwire?

Obviously a trap. I'll just set it off and then run away and see what happens.



Sounds like something is falling...



Hmmm. Activating the tripwire caused a bunch of grenades to fall.

I'd say I'm getting rather close to the Family.



Looks like the cave leads back into a station.

I should proceed with caution.



Hmmm... dead Mirelurks...

Well, if the Family's not here, someone is.



Land mines, huh.

I'm getting kind of sick of those.



And... is that a bear trap?

Geez, talk about over-doing security.



And a pitching machine.

How threatening.



Huh? A baby carriage?

Sounds like it's crying. Who would leave a baby way out here like this?

I should go over and help it before-



-Holy shit THAT'S NO BABY



Goddamn.

These traps are devious.



Hey, someone's over there!

Maybe it's a member of the Family!



I'm, uh, just exploring.

Really.



Uh okay got it.



Hmm. Looks like this really is the base of the family.

However, I doubt they'd just let me in. They might if I ask reaaaaally nicely though. Looks like I have to make a choice.

Should I:

A. Fight my way in?

B. Stealthily stealth my way in?

or

C. Try to talk my way in?

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CHOICE.

(I am implying that you guys should vote on this.)
