fallout It is one of Bethesda’s most important franchises. Although this saga does not have the same popularity as The Elder Scrollsin recent months it has been in the spotlight thanks to updates on Fallout 76 and Fallout 4, and also to the success of his series on Prime Video. However, today we are concerned with a curious anecdote related to Fallout 3. In this post-apocalyptic game, there are several design details that not many users know about, such as the possibility of escaping from Vault 101 when the character is still a child.
This was made known through a post on Reddit by user red_machina, who told how he was able to get out of Vault 101 at the beginning of the game. An NPC left the door open, triggering a series of events. As a result, the main character, now a 10-year-old cannibal boy terrorizes the wasteland.
“During the birthday, there is a door leading to the Atrium near Andy’s balcony and an NPC walked through it and left it open instead of locking it with a very strong padlock. It turns out that if you enter through that door, you will break the sequence. Game”.
Although the game is not designed so that your character, as a child, can walk around the area, with the help of this error it is possible to do so. However, there are some “restrictions” that the RPG detects as a non-adult, such as inability to interact with the Megaton bombsince it can only be manipulated if you are of legal age.
It is worth mentioning that this error is not common in the game, since the doors are blocked with locks that are very difficult to open, especially at the beginning, when you do not have the necessary skills to do so. However, due to a glitch in the NPC AI, one of them left the door openallowing it to be exited without problem.
On the other hand, by leaving Vault 101 early, the player decided to turn events around in Fallout 3. She turned the young character into a cannibalistic boy who eats the victims he kills. Although the title does not prevent this behavior, it is a feature that can be used in several installments of the franchise. Consuming the corpses allows you to acquire the “Cannibal” perk, which grants the ability to harvest human remains for profit.
“Considering that the last time I played Fallout 3 I did it with good karma, I think this is going to be the time to become an evil child who has the cannibalism advantage”
This curious peculiarity at the beginning of Fallout 3 because of an error. While it’s not game-breaking, the reality is that you’re not expected to explore the post-apocalyptic world with the character as a child.
Fallout 3 It is available on PS5, PS4, PS3, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Xbox 36o and PC.
