Biggest lie of my childhood in Fallout 3

When you exit the vault 101, the Washington monument and Capitolium you see are fake

Yup. Capitol and the wasteland itself are two separate sandboxes.

I really dont know why but this brought back a memory of the first time i went through the metro tunnels and was absolutely terrified of the molerats. Thank you for the shot of nostalgia

The very first thing I did in Fallout 3 was beeline straight to the Mall. I didn't know you had to take the Metro tunnels, so I found a spot to clip through the rubble and thought "oh that sucks, there are no city ruins."
I also didn't know how to save, so every time I died, I had to start back from Vault 101's entrance.

It gets worse, I'm afraid: the entire game is pure CGI

One day they're gonna find out not all backgrounds in movies are real.

I remember babysitting my best friend's little brothers. I brought Fallout 3 over and played it with them. They both loved it, but the younger one completely lost his shit and freaked out when I went to that town full of giant ants. It was hilarious.

I remember leaving the vault for the first time (must’ve been 12 irl) still having basically no clue how to play properly and it being my first Bethesda RPG. I left the vault didn’t even look at the quest to go to megaton made a B line the opposite way to megaton towards the broken highway and got mauled to death by mole rats. And from that experience i am 27 and I have now spent more time in fallout games than I did paying attention in school.

I mean, that's fine
You can visit them via the metros.
They wouldn't need the metros if not for the 360's limitations lol

"You see that Washington Memorial? You can't go to it."

Biggest lie to me was 300 different ending for Fallout 3.

[PhattyBolger]

Yeah, it's in a different cell. Same with Dragonsreach in Skyrim and the White Gold Tower in Oblivion. If you have to go through a loading screen to get to it, the one you see from behind that loading screen is just a prop.

[captainsternn]

Reminds of my quest to climb and stand atop White Gold Tower in Oblivion and realizing it's not even solid; you can just no-clip through it, so not only did I have to build a spiral staircase out of paintbrushes I had to build a floor so I could stand ontop the damn tower.

[skylerwyler]

Can we all agree on remembering how absolutely uncomfortable it was to walk the wasteland in fallout 3? I remember being a kid and genuinely despising going in the metros and to downtown D.C. I wasn’t scared of them or anything serious, but the sheer feeling of “I’m not supposed to be here” really hit you in real life too. They nailed the atmosphere in 3. Especially the pit dlc. Something I feel like new Vegas and fallout 4 lacked a lot.

Bro is just now realizing how games are made 💀

[Cinemaphile]

To be fair if you really had walked from the outskirts of DC to the Washington Monument you would still be in the tunnels shooting ghouls to this day. DC is a big city

[xengrunt]

and I really thought it was real too 🤣

[npvh]

the gaint keep stepping on invisible lego blocks!

[GoogleAids]

First time I came out the vault, I just followed the eyebot until I was in the middle of no where.

[Palendrome]

Just wait till we tell him about the mountains in Skyrim

[zohmbie]

imagine getting blasted by that 5 meter 10mm
