Fallout 3 has a pretty solid assortment of weaponry in it, most of which is designed to do damage to friends or foes in one way or another. But there’s one weapon that’s geared towards the more sadistic among you, a weapon that gives most of those who cross its path an unrewarding and nightmarish life as a slave. Can You Beat Fallout 3 With Only A Mesmetron?

Can You Beat Fallout 3 With Only A Mesmetron? (in text form)
Because the Mesmetron is an Energy Weapon, the SPECIAL attributes I’m maxing out are Perception as it’s tied to Energy Weapons, Luck because it effects all skills and, well, luck, and also Charisma to buff the Barter skill to let me get a discount on Stimpaks without having to threaten to snap a merchant in half with my bare hands, not that I could since my Strength is 1, but it’s important that they think that I could.
Dad was less than interested in looking at his little freak show, my 10th birthday party was a little weird but I’m not gonna question it, I’m sure it was just a mistake that someone forgot to get the balloons, and I went down to the basement to meet the single Jonas brother. I won’t waste too much time here because I explained in a past video why killing the radroaches with a BB gun is okay, it’s because the game forces you to do it to proceed. With the road dead, I rigged the test results in my favor by picking Barter, Energy Weapons, and Medicine as my Tag skills, and began escaping the vault.
Escaping the vault without attacking anything isn’t all that difficult, though it is annoying that Officer Ken Doll was more interested in beating me to death with his favorite toy than he was killing the radroaches. I picked up every object I could on my way out of the Vault, escaped, leveled up once I was outside, put the points into Energy Weapons and Medicine, and had 2 whole perks to pick from. I chose Intense Training to try to raise my Intelligence up to the point that I could get the Educated perk.
I then arrived at Megaton, avoided the sheriff, sold everything that was worthless to me to the one woman in Megaton who likes feces, bought all her Stimpaks, spoke to Mister Burke, and was off to Paradise Falls because there’s only one Mesmetron in the base-game and it’s in Paradise Falls.
The unfortunate thing is that Paradise Falls is a good bit to the north, and there are Raiders and all sorts of unpleasantness in between me and my weapon. I lured a Raider to a group of Wastelanders and an Eyebot that took care of it rather quickly, failed at the seesaw, took a few bullets to various body parts as I discovered a new location, walked in on a Mirelurk family vacation at the ol’ swimming hole, stopped by the grocery store, and finally arrived at Paradise Falls.

Grouse is not the nicest person to deal with, but he guards the entrance and won’t let you in unless you pay him 500 caps. Or, you go get him a few special clients using the Mesmetron and an explosive collar. There are a few immediate drawbacks to the Mesmetron. The first is that it takes up so much of the screen when you have it out, the next is that it only does 1 damage, it only has 50 shots initially, and ammo is absurdly expensive: 200 caps for 10 more shots.
