I was listening to the Enclave radio station when President Malcolm McDowell said during one of his speeches, "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance".
Surely this was a WC4 reference?

No, it isn't a Wing Commander reference, the quote is (quite famously!) attributed to Thomas Jefferson.

I was going to suggest he didn't get it because he isn't an American...but then neither is David! :D

If the president in Fallout 3 is voiced by Malcolm McDowell, then it does seem like a coincidence that the same voice actor would say the same line in two different games, even if it's a famous quote.

I didn't realise the President was played by McDowell, in which case it could very well be a reference to Wing Commander, which was probably referencing Jefferson.
I'm all confused now :(

I actually haven't played either game, I was just going by what Eva said.

Considering its Malcolm McDowell saying it, its a definate WC4 reference.

If it wasn't Malcom Mcdowell, I'd say its just the Jefferson reference, but in this case, it's probably both.
I'm surprised the Enclave doesn't have elite troopers called Black Lance. :p
