9 Video Game Endings Developers Want You To Forget

7. Fallout 3

Something that always felt like a mistake on Bethesda's part, the franchise-changing Fallout 3 ended on a bum note for the ages.

Seeing you doing everything in your power to activate a water purifier and save the local populace, your final task is to enter a room filled with radiation. Only... this will kill you.

A "noble sacrifice for the greater good" is clearly what Bethesda had in mind only... you're literally friends with a Super Mutant, a creature who can survive radiation no problem.

Asking Fawkes to go in for you results in some insultingly lame dialogue about how it's your "destiny" to die, leading to a mass fan revolt, and Bethesda to - eventually - release an ending where you didn't have to kill yourself.

Oh, and they decided to charge money for it. Because of course they did.
