PIP-BOY Icons
The following are unused alternate icons for some weapons, intended for some sort of HUD pop-up.
Throwing is a skill from the first two Fallout games, which in Fallout 3 was consolidated into the Explosives skill to simplify gameplay. There are Pip-Boy images in the game's texture file which reveal that it was planned to return at some point before ultimately being cut. The image intended for use as its skill icon was later used in Fallout: New Vegas for the Heave, Ho! perk.
Fallout 3 cut content refers to content in Fallout 3 which was cut from the final version of the game. Most of it can still be found in the game files but is inaccessible within the game itself. The equipment can still be obtained by use of console commands.
Quests
a main quest in Fallout 3 which was cut from the final game. Its quest stages can still be found in the game files but beyond that there appears to be nothing left of it. In this quest, the player was supposed to enter Rivet City through an underwater hatch, acquire the energy source of "the prototype" and return it to Scribe Rothchild in the Citadel. The final objective was to meet Elder Lyons in his study.
Last Rites
Taking place after Take it Back!, its purpose is unknown, since all traces of its existence and form are deleted from the game files.
The 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 apparently 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 to be used for the mission at Anchorage Memorial.
MS07
The quest, which involved Sarah Lyons, was completely removed from the game along with almost every trace of its existence - with the exception of a strange disk intended for use in the quest.
Radio Station
Tenpenny Tower radioA radio station cut from the final edition of Fallout 3 at an unknown point in the game's development. Several lines of dialogue that were recorded for the station still exist among the game files and can be accessed with the G.E.C.K. The DJ for Tenpenny Tower radio is described in the script notes as someone "trying to sound like a radio celebrity." Quotes:
- "Thank you for listening to Tenpenny Tower radio service. Brought to you by Allistair Tenpenny."
- "This is Tenpenny Tower radio!"
- "You're listening to Tenpenny Tower radio, the sound of progress!"
- "This is Tenpenny Tower radio, music and inspiring talk for forward thinking people."
Allistair Tenpenny recorded several proverbs and maxims for broadcast on Tenpenny Tower radio for a feature to be called "Tenpenny Truisms". The Truisms:
- "The poor man wishes for prosperity. The rich man makes his own."
- "We must turn our thoughts away from that which is imperfect and impure."
- "On that vast plain of dust we will raise new cities, and like the Phoenix spread the wings of new life and take flight!"
- "Never wonder for a moment if you are worthy of the benefits you possess. Rather wonder always if you have utilized them to their fullest."
- "All men were created equal. Not all men remain so."
- "The beggar must lay down his cup, for a man needs both hands to grasp the future."
- "Let us release our fears of the past into our hopes for the future!"
- "The poor man wonders why he is poor. The rich man knows why he is rich."
Characters
Tuck Johnson
 |
| Tuck & Karen Johnson |
was abandoned some time during development prior to the Andale-based unmarked quest Our Little Secret being completed. Little remains implemented with regards to the non-player character, but remaining AI packages and code snippets lend clues as to his intended role within Andale. The character was to be based primarily out of his house (location not specified) and would proceed about a normal routine. It is not clear if any special conversations were to be available between him and the Lone Wanderer, but remaining dialog and conversations in the associated packages for Andale residents have him responding to the Lone Wanderer in a friendly, welcoming manner.
Susie Mack (as a child)
While Susie doesn't appear during the birthday party in Growing Up Fast, her unused 10-year old model exists in the G.E.C.K.
Christine Kendall (as a child)
While Christine doesn't appear during the birthday party in Growing Up Fast, her unused 10-year old model exists in the G.E.C.K.
Karen Johnson
It appears that Karen Johnson was abandoned some time during development prior to the Andale-based unmarked quest Our Little Secret being completed. There is another cut character with a similar name in the game's files, Tuck Johnson, presumably her husband. Karen Johnson and her husband were most likely one of the other "families" living in Andale. This is because it is said that four families survived the great war in Andale but in game there are only two "families".
Little Toe
Little Toe is a barely functional man wearing metal armor. He was to be a part of the Replicated Man quest and had a connection with another character, Trigger. Along with Trigger, he was removed from the game.
Meat (non-player character version)
Meat is a friendly glowing one that can be found in The Chop Shop in 2277. There is still a non-feral, non-player character version of Meat in the game files.
Paladin Northup
 |
| Paladin Northup |
Little is known about Paladin Northup, other than he was going to be part of the Brotherhood of Steel and that he had a few unique lines of dialogue. His internal name places him in Chesterbrook, PA.
Rock Crick hunter
Rock Crick hunters can only be added by console commands on the PC. If placed in the game, Rock Crick hunters will talk about hunting yao guai with each other, and if spoken to by the Lone Wanderer will eventually mention that "there's a 'Guai den to the north." Which area they are referring to is not specified beyond this.
Their editor IDs (FFDRockCreekHunter01, FFDRockCreekHunter02, and FFDRockCreekHunter04 through FFDRockCreekHunter07) suggest that they may have been intended to be associated with Rock Creek Caverns in some way. Additionally, the above Editor IDs appear together in a Form List (FFDCRockCreekHuntersLIST) whose only other entry is for Grandma Sparkle. This likely indicates that these are her "boys" who are out "hunting 'lurks" before being cut from the game, with Grandma Sparkle's dialogue the only remaining bit.
Stacey
She is a character that was cut from the final release of Fallout 3, but the game files indicate that she would have appeared in Little Lamplight.
Trigger
He was to be a part of the Replicated Man quest and had a connection with another character, Little Toe. Along with Little Toe, he was removed from the game.
O'Grady
Nothing much is know about O'Grady, but it is known that he was supposed to be a guard carrying the unique police baton, O'Grady's Peacemaker. He was cut from the game.
Creatures

Underwear
Uses the same skin as the Vault 101 jumpsuit for male characters, and as glued-on underwear for female characters. This may be a sign that underwear was independently equippable, or that the player would wear the Vault jumpsuit under any external armor like in the first and second Fallout games.
Vault 87 jumpsuit
These suits were worn by the ill-fated subjects of Vault 87's Evolutionary Experimentation Program. Although the Vault 87 jumpsuit was put into the game's files, the game itself offers no opportunity to obtain one, and the only ones seen throughout the game are worn by Fawkes and the failed FEV subjects, ripped to shreds by their larger, mutated bodies.
