Quests
- Trouble on the Homefront: If Mack has become Overseer, it is impossible to reason with him, eliminating one of the possible solutions to the quest.
Effects of player's actions
- If the player killed the Overseer during "Escape!", Allen will be elected the new Overseer, even more oppressive than the previous one.

Notes
- During the quest Escape!, it is impossible to enter the room where the Macks live (except for use of console commands). Viewing Vault 101 in the G.E.C.K reveals that Mack's 'room' is just a short stretch of corridor with no entrances. It is impossible to enter his room due to the fact that he is scripted to become the new Overseer should the current one be killed - this preserves the storyline for Trouble on the Homefront.
- One of his combat lines include "The Overseer will hear about this!", even after he becomes the Overseer.
