11!!In General
12* It's hard not to feel sorry for [[BigBad The Master]] when [[VillainousBreakdown he/it breaks down]]. The voice acting really sells it too.
13-->'''The Master:''' [[ThisCannotBe But it cannot be.]] This would mean that ''all my work'' has been for '''[[AllForNothing nothing]]'''. Everything that I have tried to... A FAILURE! It can't be. BE. ''Be.'' '''Be.'''\
14'''The Vault Dweller:''' Sorry. There's no other option. Your race will die out after this generation.\
15'''The Master:''' I... don't think that I can '''continue'''. ''Continue?'' [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone To have done the things I have done in the name of progress and healing.]] [[HeelRealization It was madness. I can see that now.]] Madness. MADNESS? There is no hope. Leave now. Leave while you still have ''hope''...
16* The ending itself, which sees the Vault Dweller brokenly wandering off into the wasteland, abandoned by the very home he fought so hard to save. The fact that "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq2cH5-j6L4 Maybe]]" by Music/TheInkSpots playing in the background fits very well.
17-->''Maybe you'll think of me\
18When you are all alone\
19Maybe the one who is waiting for you will prove untrue\
20Then what will you do\
21Maybe you'll sit and sigh\
22Wishing that I were near, then\
23Maybe you'll ask me to come back again\
24And maybe I'll say maybe''
25* Of all the tracks in Fallout and Fallout 2, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6SDp3Un_VI Dream Town]] is a rare calming piece. Strings open the piece and then continue, while an ethereal choir chimes in throughout. Distant wails or perhaps screams echo at times, as well as faint whispers that seem comforting. It's a bit eerie, but also very melancholy and lonely. It's the theme for Modoc, a town that at one point was a steady community in the Wasteland, but is slowly becoming a ghost town.
26* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jxn1sqAQ-c My Chrysalis Highwayman]] is another rare upbeat track, but despite this, it also has a lonely feel. The guitar and beats are joined by more ghostly voices, and it's just the Chosen One on a lonely road trip through the desert, which is emptier than ever since the war.
27* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkoA2iC7LCU&list=PLC0C2A6BCA6040BC8 Metallic Monks]], the Lost Hills theme, opens with air raid sirens and the high-pitched yelps of a dog. A drone and eerie chants [[FadeIn fade in]] to the sirens and yelps, while drum beats begin to drown out the sounds. Then the drums fade and the sirens and yelps return, only now there's a rapid beeping in the background, a transmission asking for help. Since the end of the war was mutually assured destruction, no help ever came.
28* On the franchise of a whole, with the remnants of humanity to endlessly suffer the world they were placed in by men who developed the fear of [[TheChainsofCommand success or disappointment]] or madmen who would be canonized as [[GodofEvil Divine-Damnations]]. These's people need hugs.
