Fallout 3, like Bethesda’s other games, is a massive open world experience filled to the brink with memorable characters and unique interactions players can have with these characters. SometimesFallout 3characters will react differently to players based on how they look, making certain scenes and dialogue in the game especially rare to see. This is the case for one particularFallout 3scene that was pointed out on the GamingDetails subreddit.
As pointed out by Reddit user Gluttonforcrime, citing theFallout 3wiki, there is a unique scene players can witness when interacting with aghoul NPCnamed Griffon. IfFallout 3players are wearing a wig when they talk to Griffon, they have the option of pointing out how the two of them have similar hairstyles. They’ll say, “Who does your hair? It looks rather similar to mine, doesn’t it?” Griffon will then reply, “Aheh. Um…yeah, look at that. We practically have the same haircut. What are the chances of that? Aheh.”

ForFallout 3fanswho don’t remember Griffon, he is a ghoul NPC that can be found in the Museum of History. The wig he has on his head distinguishes him from the other ghouls in the game. He exploits his fellow ghouls by essentially acting as a snakeoil salesman, selling irradiated water in special Aqua Pura bottles and claiming that it will heal ghouls of their ailments. The fake hair on Griffon’s head is supposed to be evidence of this, which is why he’s nervous when talking to aFallout 3player that’s also wearing a wig.
It’s not necessarily likely thatFallout 3players will be exploring theCapital Wastelandwith a wig on, as they will likely be wearing more protective headgear instead. After all,Fallout 3enemies are incredibly dangerous, and so players need to be prepared if they hope to survive against hostile raiders or the Super Mutants that roam the open world. So while this unique interaction with Griffon is rather minor in the grand scheme of things, it’s still likely one of the rarest scenes in the game.
Anyone itching to return toFallout 3to look for other rare scenes like this should note that the game is available to play on modern Xbox consoles thanks to the backward compatibility program. And not only that, butFallout 3is available on Xbox Game Passas well, making it especially easy for nostalgic players to make another trip through the Capital Wasteland.
Some fans may prefer aFallout 3remasterinstead, but no plans to that effect have been announced at the time of this writing.
Fallout 3is available now for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.
