Dad

James, the father of the Player Character in Fallout 3 will appear prominently throughout the game.

Both the Vault 101 Dweller and his father are inhabitants of Vault 101. Catherine, the mother of the Player Character died at childbirth. The Vault has been sealed for the last 200 years and no one has ever left it - until it turned out that the PC's father has disappeared from it without any explanation. The young Vault Dweller leaves the safe shelter to look for his father in the ruins of Washington, DC.

Behind the scenes
The father's voice is provided by actor Liam Neeson.

"This role was written with Liam in mind, and provides the dramatic tone for the entire game", said Todd Howard, Executive Producer of Fallout 3. "Liam is absolutely amazing to work with".

"It’s been a pleasure bringing the father to life and working with the wonderfully talented people at Bethesda on Fallout 3", said Neeson. “I hope the fans of the franchise and the game will be excited by the results".

Appearances
The father appears only in Fallout 3. Your father's facial features will vary based on the ones you choose for your character.
