activities just stumbled into town you

crazies out there welcome to
watchmojo.com and still be counting down
our picks for the top 10 fallout
sidequests this is all too much you
deserve more than just a pat on the back
for this list we’ll be taking a look at
the finest side quest of the Fallout
series pinpointing those we feel are
particularly notable weather for meeting
engrossing stories within the larger
open world for offering intense action
delivering incredible atmosphere or for
simply being fun these are the side
quests that keep us trekking through the
post-nuclear wasteland you’re new here
aren’t you Wow I’ve never got a chance
to talk to the new people number 10
those fallout 3 general rule of thumb if
ants can shoot flaming acid you better
run away but if you feel courageous then
this quest inspired by the 1954 horror
film them may be for you come on tell me
already
those begins with a simple request by
the child Bryan Wilkes who asks you to
find his father
however the quest quickly shifts into a
bug hunt as you’re sent to deal with a
nest of murderous fire ants and reap the
rewards based on your course of action
now you just watch it cuz I won’t be so
nice next time
number 9 our little secret fallout 3
welcome to and ale winner of the best
town in the USA contest
that’s certainly some strange meat and
we certainly don’t want to stick around
here an unmarked quest our little secret
brings our character the lone wanderer
into the town of on Dale a quaint little
place or so it seems how do you get in
here what are you doing in this town get
out get out while you can
the climax of the side quest comes when
you investigate one of two locked
locations in the town as it becomes
abundantly clear that the town’s strange
meat is definitely human flesh every
time someone discovers our little secret
we have to hear about it
it’s always oh how can you do this or
you’re such terrible people on top of
the grim reveal there’s a choice to be
made
do you abstain from confronting the
townspeople or do you resort to brutal
justice I work to feed my family just
like every red-blooded American man
should why a man that can’t keep his
family fed isn’t any kind of man at all
no sir
and breed Agatha song fallout3 my my you
certainly do look a little bit worn out
from your travels for want of a violin
the wanderer embarks on an adventure
thus we have the set up for this
particular quest in which the elderly
violin player Agatha requests obtaining
a family violin without it I have
nothing to play no way to make music if
you can bring me a violin a better one
I’d feel much more secure trouble is
said violin is in vault 92 and Agatha
isn’t totally sure where that is they
claim the vault would be dedicated to
preserving musical talent still it’s an
interesting extrusion that balances the
fun of exploration with the tension of
battling mutant insects and it can end
in a truly heartwarming manner provided
you don’t choose to sell the violin not
to mention a sweet new radio station
with a classy touch oh my it’s more
beautiful that I could have ever
imagined
number seven still in the dark Fallout
New Vegas where did you learn that
password and tell the truth because I’ll
know if you’re lying be glad the
Brotherhood of Steel isn’t outright evil
still in the dark has our ever so
slightly confused hero the courier enter
the Brotherhood’s company as they have
some busy work to be done listen very
closely and do as I say your life
depends on it for the player though this
means undertaking a buried series of
tasks from forcing out a Brotherhood
Ranger to repairing an air filtration
system even tracking down Scouts for
their reports don’t take another step if
you value your life plus there’s
something tense getting grossing about
being involved in the Brotherhood’s more
questionable activities the fact that
the elder has some tasks for you means
his faithful won’t suspect you
and you have a line open to the man
himself number six the superhuman gambit
fallout3 so at last you’ve penetrated
the court of the antagonize er queen of
all ants the Superfriends may not take
notice but we’re certainly happy to this
quirky little adventure begins in the
town of Canterbury Commons where a war
is brewing between the superhero the
mechanists and the super villain the ant
agonizer there are problem citizens the
mechanist and the ant agonizer
from start to finish the super human
gambit walks a fine line between a
loving Amash to Silver Age comics and
maintaining the Fallout series
open-ended gameplay whether you play
along with the two super beings fight or
attempt to halt it in its tracks there
is a sense of goofy fun throughout I do
believe it’s fair to say you’ve saved
Canterbury and unlike that mechanist you
did so with significantly less stress
all around number five the replicated
man fallout 3 maybe I’m going to have my
Android army rise up against you and
your human ilk sorry do androids have
freedom of identity the replicated man
attempts to answer this question as the
lone wanderer is called upon to track
down and locate the prototype robot of
one dr. Zimmer how amusing
you’ve mistaken my metaphor for
derogatory remark what follows is a
search for clues to the robot’s
whereabouts filled with surprising
twists and more than a few moral
dilemmas but this is impossible
I can’t be a robot I’m a human being I
breathe I eat hell I cut myself shaving
this morning and when it’s all said and
done the quests make sure the Wanderers
efforts did not go to waste this combat
module will directly affect your central
nervous system I think you will find it
quite beneficial number 4 the power of
the atom
fallout 3 names Lucas Sims town sheriff
and mayor too when the need arises learn
to love the bomb player early in fallout
3 there lies the town of Megaton at the
center of which lies a dormant atomic
bomb
or so it seems
as both the town’s local sheriff Lucas
Sims and the mysterious benefactor mr.
Burke have their eyes on the bump but
for very different reasons I represent
certain interests serving is one of the
game’s first true moral dilemmas this
short quest defines the experience to
come full of hard choices but also
potentially rewarding and thoughtful no
matter which choice you make I’ll be
damned
you did it didn’t you you disarmed that
thing additionally for those inclined
towards evil blowing up a town is pretty
cool number three nothing but a hound
dog Fallout New Vegas so what can I do
for you how much for that doggie brain
in the window that’s nothing but a hound
dog in a nutshell a side quest handed to
you by the king the head of an Elvis
impersonator gang in need of a new brain
for his cybernetic dog Rex he requires
brain surgery and some sophisticated
cybernetics work to the king sends you
out into the world to find a replacement
whether you talk an old woman into
handing over her dog’s brain or a battle
a tired hound for their organ this quest
simply doesn’t lack for options or
unique things to do if I transplant this
brain into Rex he’ll be a bit more
ferocious in his attacks and completing
the quest gets you Rex as a companion
what’s better than a dog a robot dog
number two Oasis fallout 3 the great one
is a god tree a living breathing
speaking God tree talk about a blast
from the past
Oasis begins straightforward enough with
the lone wanderer coming upon a
cult-like sediment I’m tree father birch
and I have the great portion of being
leader of his people the tree minders
though their location is far more tree
filled than most the abundance of plant
life and greenery starts to make sense
after you’re taken to him also known as
Herald a heavily mutated man who first
appeared in the original Fallout games I
had you brought in here to ask a very
simple favor would you please kill me
now the source of Oasis is plant life
Herald seeks only death
you may grant him his wish or help the
cult either protect Harold’s gift or
spread it out words this visions
decisions they listen when I talk but
they don’t hear you know what I mean
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions enjoy your reward
my friend you’ve earned it
I’ll sweeten the deal for you maybe
it’ll help how about I set you up with a
suit of Ranger armor if you get them
back if that doesn’t do it for you I’ll
set you up with the minigun from our
armory I never thought you’d be back
you’re alive
if you ever run across a sexpot not that
I’d ever want one within a hundred feet
of me but I gotta be a businessman about
it number one come fly with me Fallout
New Vegas all I need now is the igniting
agent we discussed earlier let’s fly
away so it goes here’s the setup
the people of the small town of Novak
want the ghouls removed from a nearby
rocket launch site well they got a go or
this will be a ghost town before long
from there it’s one thing after another
dealing with a conflict between two
groups of ghouls finding ship parts and
helping launch a rocket rocket ouch
human serious final warning come fly
with me packs enough opportunities to
negotiate shoot it out with violence or
make meaningful choices that it’s a
definite highlight of Fallout New Vegas
and the series in general it gets lonely
out in the wastes okay and I don’t have
to tell you that Bryce group has got
some fine-looking gullets in it also how
many other games let you help with a
rocket launch
you agree with our list I could be wrong
but I think that’s a dead end

Fallout games for more apocalyptic top
