📋 About This Mod
Without this mod, if you are playing a custom race and activate the purifier during the quest Take it Back, the game breaks due to it not recognising your race for the final video, which includes a picture of you and your dad when you're young.
This mod fixes that, by simply skipping that video if it does not recognise your race. You should wake up two weeks later in the citadel infirmary, as usual.
I've received conflicting reports that TTW 3. 3 fixes this issue, so use at your own discretion.
This bug fix mod resolves the finale quest 'Take it Back!' in Fallout 3 for players using custom races, ensuring the quest completes properly. With 211 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads, it's a proven fix for a niche issue, last updated in May 2020.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested fix with 211 endorsements—clearly works for many players.
- Solves a frustrating blocker for custom race playthroughs.
- Simple, focused mod that does exactly what it says.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020—may not be compatible with newer mod setups or game patches.
- Only addresses one quest; other custom race issues may remain.
For Fallout 3 players who use custom race mods and want to finish the main story without getting stuck. Essential for anyone who's hit this bug. Skip if you play as a vanilla race or don't care about the finale quest.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2, install this as a regular mod and ensure it loads after your custom race mod.
- This fix is for Fallout 3, not New Vegas—make sure you're using it in the correct game.
- If you're playing through TTW (Tale of Two Wastelands), check that this fix is compatible with your TTW version, as it may need to be loaded in a specific order.
