@@apokatastasian2831Jim Cummings? Really? I saw him at a live voice actor event during Star Wars month at Disney World. And before you ask, yes he did all the voices including Darkwing Duck. He also did the singing voice for Scar in the Lion King and I must say he does a spot on Jeremy Irons impression.
@@te9591 Given that Fallout 3 was the only time I started playing the series, I didn't really piece any of these connections together so that's nice knowing that when this character does ask you to put him out of his misery, it's because he genuinely does want to die which I'm more than happy to grant as an act of mercy killing, personally, nobody should have to go through this kind of ordeal.
i heard you can talk him into appreciating his new form and there was suppose to be a sub-ending just for him spreading his consciousness through an entire forest or something since it's the only living forest in the base game
I didn’t see this till the second time around. I walked into the room he was in and left. The next play through I went in, didn’t notice him for 5 minutes and when I saw him is was like UHHHH THIS TREE HAS A FACE
Fallout 3 was my first rated M game and my first huge open world game. Finding stuff like this after having mostly only played Mario games was amazing. I vividly remember finding Harold because stuff like this was so exciting to me. I have so much nostalgia for this game
Of all my time playing F3, i only found Harold one time. I distinctively remember him saying he is beyond terrified of fire and will glady die by any other means. I guess what you heard "please I'm begging you! Kill me! Kill me with fire!" lol
When I talked to him I didn't pay attenting to that "not with fire" part so when he asked me to kill him I thought "fire should do the trick" and then I felt guilty when he screamed in pain.
Real question …. I have never played a fallout game and I wana start playing fallout New Vegas …is it worth it ? I don’t want to waste my time if not ! Lmk ..thank y’all
One of the best fallout games in the franchise. Fallout 3 imo takes first by just an inch. You’ll love every second if you get immersed into rpgs easily.
He also is in Fallout Brotherhood! Also if you convince him to stay alive and spread his saplings across the wasteland he gets a new lease on life since he’s able to help people once again!
I remember when I first found this dude , I already beat the game and was just exploring. I was so surprised when I found this quest line because it felt so grand like a main quest but it was totally missable and I almost did lol
Harold is actually a unique FEV mutant that looks just like a ghoul but isn’t, the same mutation is seen with a vault dweller from vault 13 who now lives in the LA boneyard in fallout 1 in the library. The dweller originally left their vault to find ghe water chip, was caught by the Unity and dipped in FEV to become a super mutant but instead became a unique FEV ghoul like Harold.
Harold had so much potential, they deliberately did him dirty as a way of saying "is our game now". After playing both FO1&2 in my early teens, and playing FO3 only years later in my late 20s I felt devasted to see what they've done to him. Harold could've been the beacon of hope for all of the apocalypse, well here's what Bethesda thinks about hope.
Well he did have a fucking tree growing on his head in the second game, eventually it was gonna grow to enormous size. More like blame the og creators for that shit 🤷♂️
Dude I remember my imagination going wild when I heard there was an Oasis in the Wasteland. As you get closer to the entrance you see more and more trees, I loved this quest.
This was one of those quicksave moments where there's no right answer You either end his life and the wasteland suffers, or you let him live and bob suffers.
I remember finding that area in fallout 3 and completely missing the literal tree-man. It took me thirty minutes before realizing I could interact with Harold.
That’s pretty kickass. I would fucking love the Fallout series if it wasn’t for the aesthetics. The 1950’s retro/futristic combo has just always been off putting for me.
It's such a shame I never got to enjoy these games. The only one I played properly was the one where you start as a bambino and you grow and acquire your first pip boy, it's also got Liam Neeson voice acting as either your charge or your father I can't remember now who he is to your in game character but you grow and then venture outside beyond the vault. The game I'm talking about came out when the Xbox360 was still pretty fresh out. Never played Vegas or any of the others and I feel I've missed something very memorable. There is a happy ending though however, I'm really enjoying the show. All the best people stay safe and enjoy ya gaming.
Knowing Harold from F1 and F2, it was depressing finding him in this state in F3, especially when he wants to be killed. For me he is one of the iconic NPCs in all of the franchise.
Richard and Harold are incredibly similar. Both were born in 2077, both grew up in vaults, lived in The Hub, got exposed to FEV and became godlike entities. Richard became a fleshy abomination hellbent on unity. Harold became a ghoul like being, slowly became a tree and saw as humanity rebuilt the west coast and eventually brought life back to The Capital.
It always caught my attention how exposure to VEF did not turn Harold into a Supermutant, Perhaps the exposure to VEF of a single person without the necessary care, added to the radiation, results in a Ghoul, Perhaps the other ghouls were exposed to FEV to a lesser extent in some other way.
I remember meeting him in Fallout 2 he just sounds like a crazy ghoul cuz all he said was "Hey I have a tree growing out of my head and his name is ... Just kidding his name is Bob"😂
