While on the surface this is act of love… it’s rather peculiar. It’s a Fallout 3 mod created for a single purpose, and a single person: to ask a Fallout 3 player player to marry the girl who – with the help of the Fallout 3 modding community – made it. The full story begins here on the Bethesda forums, and continues here. To cut a very long story short: a video of the marriage proposal mod being played is below. And he said yes.
Thanks to Alex S for the tip.

God, why is the IA from all Bethesda’s games so god awful!!??

Agreed. This one, the voice acting is just to creepy. If she would’ve just talked a wee bit faster it would’ve been less eerie.
I also found it awesome that he chose to explore the entire building, then go in, and then looted the guy, checked out the desk, and equipped his new stuff before talking to her.
Huh, when I broke off my first engagement she ALSO turned into a deathclaw and had to be put down. Sad, really.
That creeps me out on many levels. But hey, if it floats their boats — and obviously it did — then who am I to judge?
I think it is a cute idea.
The building and models are pretty nice. Also the voice acting of the black pimp-guy was pretty decent if you ignore that he is an slang speaking black guy with some german accent. But who knows that might just be the type of pimp to survive a nuclear war.
The “post-apocalyptic love slave”-line is a bit wierd but I would’t be complaining if I was the fiancee.
I guess she picked Fallout because the guy she wanted to propose to liked it. A less realistic game might have been better to avoid the uncanny valley though.
It’s just Oblivion wth marriage.
Well, I just read all three forum threads about this mod, from its inception as a crazy idea of a girl who wanted to propose to her boyfriend in the best way possible, to its premiere, which was after he already proposed to her.
It’s a story with some twists.
Taking that into account, the mod is quite an achievement, especially considering that the girl didn’t have any great vision of how it should be done and that the organization was taken into the hands of the modders.

Best Comment in Thread!
This is gayer than the time Liberace hosted that telivised review of Brokeback Moutain.
Nice way to propose!
Actually learning how to mod from scratch, and asking for help when needed? Well done, is all that can be said!
She had to ask? What a wuss, and he is going to eventually be a henpecked wuss
this is sad…..now i feel sad:(
This is AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!! My husband and I play Fallout 3 all the time. I’m an old fashioned girl and would never pop the question myself – but this is SO the way to go! I would love to meet this girl! He’s a lucky guy to have someone so fun and creative – I wish them nothing but the best. To quote the game, “KICK ASS!”
What is this I don’t even.
I dunno, when you do these kinds’ve things and then release them to the world it feels about as disingenuous as proposing at a football/baseball game or in some random-ass really public place. You’re doing it for attention, warping the intended purpose.
