Some backstory. Fallout 3 came out when I was pretty young and I got it around 10 or 11 but never had time to play it a lot. Then my mom died of cancer when I was 12 and I started to play fallout 3 pretty religiously. I remember a few days after my mom dying I encountered the scene where you return to the vault. SPOILER: Eventually after saving the entire vault amata kicks you out for having changed too much in the wasteland. I encountered this scene less than a week after my mom died and my family was very concerned for me because I was doing things like breaking chairs and windows and not crying about my mom being dead at all. Somehow when this scene came up and amata says you saved us but you have to go cause you’ve changed… years of pent up pain rose to the surface and I started crying for hours. Later you can save(or watch the death of) amata from the enclave in a random encounter where she can be found outside the vault. I remember saving her a few months later in that random encounter and it was like turning the corner that things would be ok.
