Overseer Secret


Some people have expressed their displeasure with the Overseer's decision to send you back out into the desert at the end of the game. Some of these people would like to take their revenge on him. One resourceful player has succeeded in finding a way to do this. This secret brought to us by Mocking Shadow.

[excerpted from his email to the Fallout Compendium]
I recently passed Fallout for my second time. I have heard how some people were ticked to find out how you couldn't get revenge on the Overseer for screwing you over. I took a look at this and tried to see if I could remedy this. I found a way.

After you wipe out the mutants (base and CotC) it tells you about how the mutants were run off into the wasteland, BoS becomes research house, etc, etc. It then goes to you standing outside of the door of Vault 13. I immediatly hit 'A' to bring up attack. If you are fast, you can kill the Overseer before he talks to you. If you are a little slow, he will talk to you (screw you over) then the attack menu will come up. I gave him a burst of a) Turbo Plasma Rifle and b) Laser Gatling Gun. His death sequence is the BLOODIEST death of the whole game (the Lieutenants death is close but not this bad). *BOOM* *SPLAT* the whole left side of the OS (overseer) is blown off. He flops around a bit, tries to pull himself to the door... then dies a death he deserves.

Wasn't that descriptive? =) For winning our monthly Strategy/Hints contest, he will be recieving a free game ... NO WAIT! We don't have that kind of money. In fact we don't get any money for doing the Fallout Compendium. If anyone would like to send us any donations, please contact us at editors@cgocable.net. It's either that or ads. =) Well, enough of this rant, back to work...
