I was figuring how people would react to what I call the Dead Money Fail Ending, where SPOILER the Courier is trapped and dies in the Sierra Madre Vault. When I first saw it, I was like "WTF How would anybody know not to do that?!" I was wondering what others thought about that if they got the ending or saw it. P.S. here is the ending:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSNDtLj6J8w

Strangely enough there seems to be a link between people getting that ending and people not knowing why the collars go boom...
Read people.

I saw it.
Was like "What... The... [censored]..."
Then when it reloaded I checked the computer again and only read Vera's message and didn't get locked in. ^^,

At least the Courier lives forever as a hologram :spotted owl:

bump

Don't bump.

Again:

Read Vera's message on the final terminal.
DON'T read the second message which pops up after Vera's.
Profit!!

i got the fail ending a few times too until i figured it out...

Guess the game punishes people who don't read terminals or are too curious for their own good. It seems that curiosity killed the Courier :spotted owl:

the other ending is fail too

Least the other ending didn't kill you for reading a [censored] terminal :brokencomputer:

I feel anyone that got locked in shows they don't read terminals.
I feel anyone who thought getting lock in the vault was the only ending are the people that made terms like 'causal gamer' exist.

This.

im surprised that everyone complaining about the fail ending even got that far

k so i just beat the DLC and i got the ending where i was coming out the vault and the guy was walking to me but then he put the turrents to me now is that bc i had the gold on me or is that how it has to be? and christine said to meet her after it and i cant find her anywhere and i went and left and the video came on and thee ending svcked. and also on top of that i cant find my stuff from where i went into the DLC. where is that stuff at?
