Fallout 1 ending: the master kills himself

-gets criticized once -fucking dies

Vault Dweller DESTROYS Master with FACTs and LOGIC

That moment when you realize the guy who voiced the Master is the same guy who voiced Winnie the pooh

I actually quite respect this master guy. Once it was proven that his life-long ideal was flawed, he admitted his shortcoming and accepted his defeat. That's something many fictional villains and even people in real life find difficult to do.

I met Jim Cummings at a Con some years back and when asked about this role, he had zero recollection about it. He mentioned how in video games, you're pretty much in a booth by yourself and reading through lines with no idea who the character is. The fact that he had no idea who The Master was still and gave such a powerful performance is mind blowing

That last line is heartbreaking.

That bit where all the voices say "be" always gets me. Like every single one of them is just completely devastated by the realization you've just dropped on them.

The Master's angry voice is just epic!  "MASTER!" "THE GHOULS?! - Please... - NORMALS?!"

The "It can't be. Be. Be. Be." Is a deceptively powerful line. I think it's meant to represent that every 'part' of the master has reached acceptance. Every facet of his personality realizes the horror of what he's done.

"To... have done the things I have done in the name of progress and healing..." You can really hear the abject loss of hope and despair in his voice and tone. Incredible voice acting and writing.

As creepy as this guy is, I still end up feeling sorry for him after he realities that his work has been for nothing.

This is so well done. Looking at this now makes me realize how this is one of those rare magic video game moments. This is honestly the best example of how to do an interactive story that there is. To get The Master to kill himself you don't just charm him with a high enough speech skill with obvious "speech options" highlighted for your dumb ass, you have to have the seemingly insignificant holodisk on your possession, and then you have to had actually read the thing because the game even tries to trick you into backing out as the Master believes it to be lies. Anyone who had just been casually clicking through the dialogue and not reading the optional stuff would have been completely stumped by this. it's designed to test your convictions and prove that you, no not your character, YOU actually know that the mutants are sterile and that his plan won't work. That is just brilliant! I feel like I genuinely beat The Master not with my plasma rifle but with determination and reason. And that is the best fucking compliment I can give this game. It is the only game I have ever played where I beat a boss with my own judgement.

"Leave now, leave while you still have hope..." I felt so bad after hearing this :(.

A settlement needs your help. Settlement. Help!

Probably the best Fallout villain ever in the Fallout series, was perfect.

I find it kind of ironic how the Master wanted to create unity by making the super mutants and nightkin but in New Vegas they're very split amongst each other (just take a look at what Tabitha says about super mutants and Keene 's group of nightkin) Very interesting how things play out in this series

Being smart doesn't matter if your insane. -Arcade in F:NV about Ceasar.

The master, experiencing one of the most human emotions of all: Clarity

This is actually the saddest ending because the master wasn't bad he was just misguided. If you think about it he actually wanted to save the future by creating a race of super mutants well equipped to trek the barren wastelands of fallout but when he finds out his mutants are sterile he realizes that he failed to make a better future but instead created a race that will die out in the next generation end that last line "leave now while you still have hope" actually gave me a genuine feeling of sadness.

He really is a great villain, he's so logical and has utter conviction in his actions, unlike a certain other robotic presidential end boss! A sympathetic villain is always so much more effective than a cartoonish evil one.
