@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 🤷♂️
crazy to think this guy knew the master before he became the master
And McCready was a kid there, too
True
crazy that the master was voiced by winnie the pooh and the tasmanian devil

It’s amazing that he not only meet the Vault Dwller, but his grandson the Chosen one and the Lone Wanderer in his life
That's what was so genius about his continuity in the story arc.

@@sprshb1852 it’s outright stated in the first 10 minutes of the game that the chosen one is the grandchild of the Vault dweller.
@@dapplewhiterabbit9986 nah u right idk what I was on. Plus New Vegas implies the Chosen One’s a dude cause of Mr. Bishop.
He specifically says not to set him on fire lol
If he doesn't want to burn then why is he so flammable then /s
/f
People say a lot of different stuff in Fallout 3. Am I expected to remember everyone's individual requests? I'm only one persin after all. XD
@@ashentwo6608The far-left uses the same logic when it comes to politics.
@@nocturnalrecluse1216??
It's canon that he remains alive, and helps re-fertilize the wasteland.
Really?
Its speech 100 so I'd assume it's a more canon choice
That’s what I picked
This and the tenpenny tower quest are two I didn't complete.
Fertilize how ?????!?🤨
How did a vault of children and teens actually survive
Guys I’ve read lord of the flies 😡
Robot overseer
The experiment wasn't the overseer sabotaging everything, but a roboseer
I mean kids arnt dumb just take extra steps then we do with problems and solutions lol
Do you really wanna know? Yea I didn't think so
Robots also Little Lamplight exists
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
He gets an ending slide IF you speech check him into accepting his form and then also use the growth serum the Oasis member gives you.
Drake would love that vault

drake would be like "hear me out.."
Insane to say

I remember being 13 and doing this misson wish F3 had a living word
Harold and the Great Deku Tree need to have a rap battle
And while you're at it? Add in a 3rd party: The main antagonist from Final Fantasy 5, ExDeath.
And maybe treebeard from lotr
This tickled me entirely
@ERB, make this happen
Epic rap battles of historyyyyyyyy! Harold! Vs! Dekuuuuu Tree! Begin!
It is cool as hell that he showed up in fallout 3
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
As german I missed a lot in fallout 3, it was super cut in germany. The goty Edition was uncut though
If you set Harold on fire consider yourself an opp
You getting eaten by rapper Dracula then, better to kill him mercifully.

@@Skeppsvrak yeah i felt like worse asshole than a raider when i reloaded the save just to see what happens.
Since I’ve met him in fallout 1 & 2 I can’t bring myself to kill Harold in fallout 3
Same, I know he's in pain but his modified f.e.v plants are necessary for a better world. Even if he doesn't know it.
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
It's one of the greatest games of all time

Okay fanboying aside I’d suggest giving it a try. Theres a reason so many people lose their shit every time they hear the name
I just got that game and will play today
I completed it once
it is fun however the movements feels pretty junky and slow for the modern standard
That def edp445s vault 💀💀💀💀😂
Nah edp445 vault💀
.... Dafuq is wrong with you
@@igorex04 well that vault did allowed kids and teens only no adults so
Great Deku Tree
I’m gonna take a great big duky 😂
I like to convince him that his presence is important so I can imagine him telling the tale to people who live in civilization again.
Vault 29 sounds like a whole lot of, "Are you sure you're 18?"
That last line saddens me, fallout used to be about bringing hope to the wasteland...
The voice crack on “conditions”💀💀💀
And "leading". He's going through puberty right before our eyes.
😂😂
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!
Poor Harold... one of the best characters of the old fallout games.

There better be a harold cameo in the 2nd season 👀
Which is after 3. And the show takes place in California.
LMAOO @@isaacgould5974
@@isaacgould5974I have a feeling that they’ll take them across the American wasteland.
How? He's dead and in DC anyways
If I'm not mistaken, Harold tree has fruits.
Harold also appears in the PS2/Xbox game Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, which is set between 2 and 3.
Damn, I really feel bad for bro
Harold is Fallout 2's best character, he has such a good attitude after all he's been through ❤

My mtg monkey brain: “oh the mana dork”
As a Fallout and Magic fan, I too see him as a mana dork
Harold wasnt let out of the vault, he escaped.
It's literally the best character ever Harold
legend in fallout lore
Harold is classed as a mutant,, fev makes mutants radiation makes ghouls
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.
I just love how he say “BAHB” in Fallout 3
That slight voice crack when he said despite the conditions was top tier. Love the video btw
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.
Its implied through a convo that he is where mutfruit comes from as well.
Throwback. I haven’t thought about any specific characters from 3 in quite a while
I never knew Harold wasn't Just in fallout 3 that cool to know.
Damn. I don't know anything of Falllout, but this one thing definitely would make me play these.
It is crazy how games make you feel bad for NPCs that are never really the main focus of the story
They really need to add more continuous story’s like this throughout the fallout series it really shows how it all comes together in the end
That freakin nightkin jumpscare
Looks like the captain from halo lol:3
The bizarre and tragic turns like walking from one end of the continent to the other for literally no reason
*casually walks all the way to Washington*
Man would have been nice to be able to save him. All that history. A bit of trimming, some super mutant syrum, whala
He didnt got attacked by super , he got attacked by mutated wildlife
SILENCE! MY NAME IS PAUL MUAD'DIB ATREDES DUKE OF ARRAKIS
Harold's life was rad bro
Gonna ignore the fact that the supermutant just zoomed towards u😂
The continuity in these games is so awesome
The tree makes me so sad 😭
This guy had daily small talk with the most dangerous being the whole world has ever seen
A ghoul mutant tree was scary enough, but it’s charred dead tree form looks like a nightmare
I didn't even find this tree dude until my second playthrough. I put him out of his misery
I have a feeling that if Todd hadn’t stolen him, we would have encountered Harold in Vault 22.
I thought the thumbnail was about a new left for dead 😔 until I read the caption
Yeah, I know of him. I also know he very specifically didn't want to be set on fire.
Hey now, Vault 29 allowed adults. But only for the first five minutes.
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.
Bro it’s insane how I’ve beaten fallout 3 like 10-15 times and had no clue about this
i remember finishing this quest in both of the ways. if i remember right u can either kill him or let him live
Its just like the bone healing exoskeleton condition
I did know about the tree. The annoying tree.... that burns...
I don't blame the colleagues
Bob the tree roots out, and poor harold into the ground....Ok how did he become a tree again
These voice cracks is crazy
You forgot to mention that you meet him in the city of goals. And he Sends you on a quest to find his missing body parts and his balls
Never hurt Harold!
Vault dwellers always getting the saddest endings
Did you know you can get both rewards for that quest.
Had no idea Harold was that old of a character in the series.
He's one of the only characters that is reoccurring throughout the franchise.
This character belongs on one of those list that people make videos of on TH-cam Fates worse than death
Truly a horrifying fate to become a tree made out of your own flesh
Thats my strongest memory from fallout 3
great-grandfather of groot. cool guy though.
Harold! Man, i miss FO3, i know his story despite never playing FO1 or 2, but i always abided his last wish, and especially NOT by fire XD

Witness the birth of the Hist
I spared him and convinced him to help the people that he provided hope for them that there was such thing is nature.

Harold was the one true final connection to Fallout 1. Him dying by the players hand was like a final goodbye to the old games.
At least we got Marcus in New Vegas
I think it’s neat how they brought Harold back from fallout 2.
