Fallout 3 Unused Content

A page outlining cut content from Fallout 3.

Characteristics
Most of it can still be found in the game files but is inaccessible within the game itself. The equipment can still be obtained using console commands.

Cut quests

 * Infiltration
 * Escape! - In the game files, there's a stage where you have to talk to Stanley and inquire about re-activating the reactor and turn the power to the vault back on, activating the door to the exit.
 * Last Rites - According to its numbering, it was supposed to take place after Take it Back!.
 * 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 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 used for the mission at Anchorage Memorial.
 * MS07 - A quest involving Sarah Lyons that was completely cut from the game, except for a strange disk.

Cut projectiles

 * Though not unused, the projectiles for all bullet-firing weapons use a model labeled 7.62mm, a caliber not used in the game. Similarly, the shell casing's filename is common in real life (but non-existent in Fallout 3) .45 caliber.
