The build up of returning a hero then being ejected by the overseer was so true to the setting and mood.

The first time I beat Fallout I got the bonus of the VD shooting the overseer before walking away. I loved that, there was so much justice in it. Where the working man doesn't just accept the authoritarian pronouncement of the Overseer but shows him with his gun the reality of the wasteland, the new world, and by doing so declares the start of a new beginning where the world isn't blindly ruled by the bureaucrats that destroyed the world the first time. A world where people will be held accountable to their actions, no longer able to hide behind their title and status.
