If one of the magazines or skill books from the Fallout series was printed so you could read it in real life, which one would you pick and why?

It can be based on the in-game effects and/or the contents of the book/magazine itself.

Is Dagoth Ur inspired by Dagoth, The Dreaming God from Conan The Barbarian?

Dagoth Ur

Dagoth, The Dreaming God

Besides the fact that they are both gods or at least god-like entities named "Dagoth", Dagoth being called the Dreaming God relates to Dagoth Ur being called the "False Dreamer" and communicating with people through dreams.

They also look very similar. Both are shirtless, muscular men with clothing only on their groins, arms, and legs. They both wear headpieces with 3 prongs on the top and a ridged edge. The hole in the Dagoth statue's head even resembles Dagoth Ur's 3rd eye.

Both of them are antagonists in their respective series. Both have an object that gives them their power (the horn for Dagoth, the Heart of Lorkhan for Dagoth Ur).

So is this all just a weird coincidence, or was Dagoth Ur inspired by Conan lore?

I tried to beat Fallout 3 as Yes Man.

You can watch the video here.

I tried to beat Fallout 3 as the human version of Yes Man from Fallout: New Vegas. Others have tried this challenge in Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4, which you can watch here:

I wanted to try it in Fallout 3. If anyone tells me to do something, no matter if it's vague, indirect, or not meant as a command, I have to obey until someone tells me to do something else. I did this on Very Hard with no companions. This means...

  • As a baby, my dad told me to wait for him to come back. However, no matter how long you wait, he never does. I tried speeding up the game with the console, and still, nothing. He never specifically said to wait in my PEN, however, so I was in the clear.
  • I had to give Butch my sweetroll.
  • I had to thank Jonas for the BB Gun because my Dad told me to.
  • I had to take the G.O.A.T. because my Dad told me to. I tried to give the most neutral or subservient options possible. I accepted my given Tag Skills.
  • Amata told me to hack the Overseer's terminal, use a lockpick on his door, and I promised to only use my 10mm Pistol as a last resort. I abided by all of these rules. In fact, I didn't use the 10mm ONCE while in the Vault.
  • When Officer Kendall told me to "hold it right there", I stood still and put away my weapon. He still tried to kill me, though, so I had to defend myself.
  • I did not talk to the Overseer, since he would have told me to turn myself in, which would have resulted in me being attacked.
  • When Moriarty told me to "wise up quick, lest someone take advantage of ya", I used my next level up to boost my Intelligence with Intense Training.
  • When Sarah Lyons told me to "keep my head down and don't do anything stupid", I hid behind cover and let the BOS take care of the mutants. However, I did use the Fat Man on the Behemoth when she told me to.
  • I helped Three Dog get his dish back.
  • When a Raider in the metro system begged me not to kill her, I left her alone.
  • When the Raiders told me to "come out and fight", I did, and got killed for it.
  • When the Raiders told me to "stop moving around so much", I stood still on the spot and thus had to reload a save due to me being stuck.
  • When Harkness of Rivet City said, "Let me or a security officer know if you see anything unusual", I showed him the live Bottlecap Mine in the corner of the marketplace and the Teddy Bear with a Med-X syringe next to it.

However, this challenge is impossible to complete for several reasons:

  • Three Dog tells you to talk to Dr. Li. Dr. Li tells you not to look for your father. Since you have to look for your father to beat the main quest, this is the end of the run. Of course, you can skip this by going straight to Smith Casey's, but that's no fun.
  • Even if you ignore that, MacCready forbids you from entering Little Lamplight.
  • Even if you say convincing MacCready to let you in is fine, Colonel Autumn tells you to give him the code to the purifier, which results in him killing you with no way to avoid it. Therefore, you'd be stuck in a death loop.
  • Even if you ignore THAT, the very next Enclave Officer tells you that you're supposed to be in your cell and that you aren't going anywhere. This one is even worse since there is no option to obey and let President Eden explain things; you have to resist him or bribe him one way or another.

So, while this challenge isn't possible (if you can think of ways around the run-enders, leave them in the comments), I still had fun trying it out.
