Fallout 3 Unused Content

Fallout 3 cut content refers to content in Fallout 3 which was cut from the final version of the game. Most of it can still be found in the game files but is inaccessible within the game itself. The equipment can still be obtained by use of console commands.

Cut quests

 * Infiltration
 * Last Rites - According to its numbering, it was supposed to take place after Take it Back!.
 * The Wasteland Survival Guide - At some stage in development, the Wasteland Survival Guide contained another quest stage. The player's objective would have been to print the books at Hubris Comics and return them to Moira (who at this point was apparently still called "Lea") as part of the work on the last chapter. This makes Moira's remark in the final game that it's cynical of the player to assume she would require such a dangerous task of him/her doubly ironic. Judging by its editor ID, the mirelurk bait grenade was also intended to be part of this quest. It was most likely to be used for the mission at Anchorage Memorial.
 * MS07 - A quest involving Sarah Lyons that was completely cut from the game, with an exception of a strange disk.

Aid/miscellaneous items

 * Big Book of Science: An oversized copy of the science skill book. Its internal prefix associates it with the quest Wasteland Survival Guide. It weighs five fallout pounds.2d3a4
 * Chandelier: Unused. Its internal name prefix associates it with the quest Tranquility Lane. There in fact is a chandelier in the simulation which can be used to commit and assigned act of murder, but it is a world object, not an item. 291d7
 * Computer Password Module: Related to the quest "Stealing Independence". 5b5a9
 * Constitution of the United States: One of many cut documents related to "Stealing Independence". 8c214
 * Control Collar: Called RRControlCollar internally. The 'RR' prefix is used exclusively for Reilly's Rangers, so perhaps they were to snap a collar around your neck at some point. 6c55a
 * Empty Sap Container: Quest item related to "Oasis". The player might have been supposed to show this to Father Birch after completing the quest for his side as proof. 504d7
 * Garden Gnome: Identical to the Damaged Garden Gnome. 3407a

 * Emancipation Proclamation: See Constitution of the United States. 8c215

 * Survival Guide Manuscript: An item from a cut segment of the quest The Wasteland Survival Guide. At one point you were given a manuscript and had to go to Hubris Comics to print out copies. In the final game however, the location is just a pointless dungeon crawl. 2d3b2
 * U.S. Declaration of War on China: See Constitution of the United States. 8c219
 * U.S. Declaration of War on Germany: See Constitution of the United States. 8c218
 * Wasteland Survival Guide: Finalized version of the Wasteland Survival Guide. Classified as a book, rather than a misc. item like the one accessible in game. c5634
 * You're SPECIAL!: An item version of the book used to allocate stat points. ab2ef


 * There are unreadable text notes attached to every book item, due to Fallout 3 using a modified Oblivion engine (where books functioned more like Fallout 3's notes). The text for each book is either the book's name, "This is a book", or "I am the schematics for the Bottlecap Mine."

Cut actor affects

 * Atomization: This is an unused critical kill effect for weapons that fire mini-nukes, much like disintegration or gooification. The victim is engulfed in a sparkling bright lime green particle effect. The corpse is strangely rendered transparent afterwards with a mild radioactive glow, possibly due to a missing texture. 5b141




 * Better Rivet City Prices: Related to the quest 'Wasteland Survival Guide'. Increases barter by 15, regardless of location. 6f592
 * EMP Disable: Has the effect of a Pulse grenade on susceptible targets. The weapons in-game use the EMP object effect, which is effectively the same thing. 5b148
 * Kamikaze: A trait from Fallout 1 and 2. 3 doesn't have traits, so it would have been a perk instead. Increases AP by 10 and reduces DR by 20. 94ec3
 * Life Giver: There are effects for unused second and third ranks for this perk. Rank 2: 31d8a Rank 3: 31d8b
 * Poison: Called "DeathClawPoison" internally. Deathclaws cannot inflict poison. 6b20e
