You can do that if you have enough Science or Intelligence, actually. The dialogue path opens and doesn't need a Speech check.

[Facekillz058]

Can confirm, just did it yesterday.

I'm honestly just hoping the storyline isn't as bad as FO3, it felt like a bad rehash of FO2 with sudden new super mutants and enclave, while tossing in some thoughts about the water chip (purifying) for partial completion.

[Shadowlord]

That's convenient, since it was the hardest speech check in the game, IIRC.

...I can't find anything about speech checks resulting  in in self destruction in fallout three.

Spoiler: Spoilers, Obviously (click to show/hide)

President Eden can be convinced to self-destruct, and the Enclave base with them.

[miauw62]

Ah, right.

Actually, reading the wiki to one-up you reveals that the hardest checks are for the AntAgonizer / the Mechanist.

Good thing I wrote IIRC in that post!

I wonder if FO4 will have some sort of consequence when you do silly stuff like "trolling" a quest progress/completion.

Long example:

In one of the first quests of FO3 - the Grayditch Ant-Invasion one - you have a multitude of choices:
- Kill/Let live the Researcher who, through experiments, caused Giant Ants to mutate into Fire Ants
- Kill/Let live the Ant Queen
- Destroy/Ignore the mutagen for the next ant generation so the experiments to go on
- Maybe more

I sided with the Researcher since in my first playthrough (when the game first came out years ago) I killed him instantly when he admitted creating the ants.
So, this time, I let the Queen live, let the work continue, etc. And on the end of the quest, he offered to give me +1 Strength or +1 Perception.
After that, I killed the Queen and destroyed the Mutagen in front of him (which gave me Good Karma), and filled the cave with explosives in case he ever tries to leave.

And hey..nothing happened at any point, because I had already completed the quest. I wonder if FO4 will be any different.

PS: Even though the scientist was doing good work trying to turn the ants back into their normal size, he was using the FEV (which I have very, very little knowledge about because I never played FO1 or FO:Tactics, and couldn't finish FO2 because I absolutely hate the interface..and because I "broke" a savegame that had HOURS of play, and my backups were days old), and he was experimenting right next to people with no regard for human life.
So hey, fuck that sort of science in that context. We have Power Armors, just burn every single Queen to death and do artificial selection. Or do your science in an isolated region without bringing more suffering to the world!

God damn I need Fallout 4 so I can bring more shotgun justice to that world.

I have, every good-karma playthrough of NV, without fail, killed Vulpes Inculta and his legionaries.

[Gabeux]

Well..in NV I killed every single Legion guy I saw, no matter where/how/when. I think that was the first game that got me worried about my psychology, because I enjoyed doing it.
I still remember exploding Caesar with the Power Fist and reloading so I could do it again.

But hey, vydiagames!

Unless Beth has changed their mo since Skyrim, it likely won't.

I love it when games have an impact like that!  And New Vegas had that in... spades

But honestly, the thing that made me question myself the most was my third run, where I actually supported the Legion.  As a woman.
I designed the run to make no sense, and be intentionally sick, and yet...  Ugh.  Shit like that actually happens.

I feel like all of you should play Undertale so you can experience those emotions again.
