Fallout 3 endings

This page details the endings to Fallout 3.

Background
Just like the intro, the ending of Fallout 3 is narrated by Ron Perlman. The first and final parts are the same for each player, the 3 middle parts depend on their choices, Part 4 may not be played if having entered the wrong code when trying to activate the purifier (the purifier will be destroyed in an explosion that way).

Ending
Part 1: Part 2: Part 3: Part 4: Part 5:
 * Video segment 1 - Will always be included.
 * Video segments 8, 17, 18 - Based on Lone Wanderer's Karma. (One of them will always be included.)
 * Video segments 2 to 7 - Based on whether the Wanderer completed a specific side quest. However, only one of them will appear.
 * Video segments 9, 10, 11 - These segments are based on end-game decision in the control room. (One of them will always be included.) #9 is slightly altered by Broken Steel.
 * Video segments 27 to 29 - Same as video segment #10 (Sacrifice Another), but showing RL-3, Charon, or Fawkes instead of Sarah Lyons. These are added by Broken Steel.
 * Video segments 12, 13, 14 - Based on end-game decision on FEV. (One of them will be included if Project Purity was not blown up.)
 * Video segments 15 and 16 - These two segments have identical voice overs. Based on the Lone Wanderer's gender. (One of them will always be included.)
 * Video segments 19 to 26 - These segments show the same scene, differ only on player character's race and gender.

Video segments
There are 26 (29 with Broken Steel installed) independent video segments for the Fallout 3 ending. They can be viewed on the PC version using the external software "RAD Video Tools." In order to be shown, some segments require certain in-game conditions to be met, with some segments being mutually exclusive.
