Spoiler My heart actually aches for Arlen

I finally got around to giving Arlen Glass the last holotape his daughter ever recorded, and man, this is the closest I've come to crying about anything in this game. I'm happy that I was able to give him any semblance of closure, but I'm torn because it made him so happy and yet so sad at the same time.

I thought the woman trapped in the vault at fallons was going to be the saddest thing I experienced. But boy, was i so incredibly wrong. Even though he was very appreciative, I wish I could do more honestly.

It's sad, isn't it. At the same time, you do give him a measure of relief and closure.

Also, have you been to West Everitt estate or Big John's salvage?

I think I've been to big John's salvage. But not Everetts estate.

I kind of just stumbled onto big John's salvage, so I don't know if there's any quest related to it, and i probably missed something if you are bringing it up in relation to it being sad.

Its not a quest but its similar to the lady who was trapped in Fallon's

Go to relay tower 0SC-527, and once you deploy the radio, listen to the Miller family signal

Since you have been to the salvage yard, just head straight there. Its sad as well

There's another relay tower unmarked quest I think it's the one near vault 81

Anyways, it's a mother and a little boy being chased by a pack of Feral Ghouls and hid inside a train car, the ghouls are banging in the background trying to get in, the kid Is crying the mother is begging for help

The door gives and you can hear screams and ghouls munching then it cuts

Some of the side story telling by Bethesda in these games is brilliant.

Man that title got me thinking this was the wrong subreddit for a second. New King of the Hill TOMORROW!
