10 Video Game Characters You Didn't Realise MAJORLY Affected Sequels

10. Garl Death-Hand - Fallout

Those who have played both Fallout 1 and 2 realize how important Tandi is to the Fallout universe as a whole. Along with her father, she is the founder of the New California Republic and one of its first elected presidents. The faction plays an important role in all Fallout games taking place on the west coast of the US and gets mentioned in almost every other title.

However, as much as Tandi's involvement in the creation of the NCR is obvious, her decision to unite the people of the wasteland under its banner wouldn't have been made if it weren't for the choices made by the ruthless raider who kidnapped her, Garl Death-Hand.

Yes, ironically, it is Tandi's enemy who motivates her to make the change. Garl's gang was the chief reason why the settlements of Fallout 1 couldn't unite. When Garl decides to kidnap Tandi, he effectively brings the wrath of the Vault Dweller upon his people and causes the destruction of the major threat looming over Sandy Shores.

Additionally, kidnapping Tandi probably opened her eyes to the dangers awaiting her settlement and motivated her to stay with them instead of running away on an adventure like she always wanted.
