So in Fallout 3 the Tunnel Snakes are bullies and since your Birthday party Butch has been a real jerk to you. Actually most vault 101 residents have been really mean to you, but the Tunnel Snakes and Butch have been a pain more than any. So my question to you, when given the chance while making your escape from the vault what did you do? Did you forgive and forget? Did you tell him off and save his mom? Did you tell him off and leave his mom to the roaches? Or did you give into the darkness and Murder Butch?

Well my character fed up with the years of bullying told Butch off and took a baseball bat and beat Butch to death with it. His mother did not survive the roaches.
Also when I returned to 101 later on Wally Mack got his when I stabbed him with a Combat Knife.
My character became a Anti Hero Mercinary, but has his dark evil moments from time to time. Revenge is one of those things he has no mercy for.
So curious what choices did you make?

Good one Butch, butt head

I always picked the help one as long as they were not wearing a guard uniform they were safe if not then they were dead especially the one that killed your fathers friend I always shoot that one in the back of the head except for the one that acts like he didn't see you I let that one live. I also shot the overseer on one run through as well.

I always pick the "Fuck you, Butch." option and shoot him in the head shortly afterwards. If someone was an asshole to me and then begged for my help, of course I'd let them suffer.

Yeah, I don't see him as a good companion, he still wants to boss you around and make a new group after all that. To me he is just a useless jerk. I thought about shooting his face, but the brutal beating with the bat was so gratifying And I did kill a lot of guards, and the overseer on my way out. Lots of death and blood for coming after me.

I always killed Butch at the beginning of the game, except for my current playthrough. You see, before starting this playthrough I never realised you could go back into the Vault and get Butch as a companion. So I let the turd live, saved his mom & so on.
Later on I found him in Rivet City and, using a multiple companions mod, took him with me.
After one (real) week I got fed up with him and shot him with the Gauss Rifle.

Nah the tunnel snakes always die in my play throughs specially officer mack is it it?

I am gonna be the odd one out here, and say I save his mother and let him live. Heres the thing, as dickish as the 101 residents are, some of them are actually pretty good people. Old Stanley, Officer Gomez, Amata(before the whole get out thing) and some others. Butchs mom is somone who clearly has no ill will to you till TOTH.
As for Butch, its cliche but "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind". Besides, why hold on to all that hate for the guy? Isnt it much sadder that he cant move on from the tunnel snakes? He's just an idiot and even then, I kicked his ass before the G.O.A.T so all that frustration is out of me. Also, consider how long Butch is actaully going to survive in the Wasteland? Seriously? Without you, holding his hand as you explore the dc wastes, I give him a month at most of survival in Rivet. That big mouth of his, will get him in some shit.

@ZombieRedNeck Couldn't have said it better myself, to be honest. It's the reason I usually prefer to save him.... except his mother though. I spent countless hours slaughtering her for her crimes against nature. Butch is just... a misguided soul because of the horrible parenting he had to endure during his childhood. Think about it... he has to sit there and live with the fact his mother is a drunk who'd rather be spending her time drinking her next wine versus killing the swarm of Radroaches threatening to flay her child alive.

I had to save him. Perhaps the wastes will soften him up. That, or chew him out... but since Megaton is just a stone's throw away anyway... well... I figure he'd be alright.

You know, reverse pick-pocketing Nuka Grenade is befitting for Butch. He died colorfully....

@Legend First off thanks for your kind words. Secondly I always found it very funny that while megaton is as you put it "A stones throw away" from vault 101, Butch decided to go the complete opposite direction and head to Rivet City.
I kinda hope we see him again one day, just to see that he is still alive, and still a douchebag.

I killed his mom then I would shoot each limb off of him.

I helped his mom, for two reasons. One being that I am a kind person, and two being I love the Tunnel Snake jacket!

In the words of the great Eastman, "All life is precious"! I saved his mom every time. His mother didn't do anything to me.

I think I could be crueler if I play the game again. Save his mom, kill her right in front of him, and then kill him.

I destroyed the shit out of butch and killed that dick's mom and felt 0 regret.

The first time, I let him go. It's all just water under the bridge, y'know?

The second time, I used console commands to get the Mesmetron and enslaved his mom after saving her from the radroaches. I sent that bitch straight to Paradise Falls. After seeing his mom enslaved, Butch found himself with a severed head by my doing. A smile found its way across my face as it came off with one clean whack. So I guess not that vengeful.
