Fallout 3 funny habits

[Pegghead]

I found the game to be so immersive that after particular conversations with NPC's I would wink back to them. Oh, and not wanting to spoil anything just before the end you fight an asshole who did something very nasty to you beforehand, after I'd killed the person I picked up their corpse and plonked it into the irradiated water that was nearby, truly I had gotten my vengeance.

 

[Capt. Crankypants]

Sneaking into peoples shops at night on Rivet City, stealing their merchandise (this applies everywhere, but most commonly rivet city), waiting until day, going into their HOMES, stealing the rest of their merchandise, then going to their shop and selling it all back to them

Loving how no-one ever stops to think....hmm, these 9mm pistols look exactly like the ones I used to have that went missing...

Oh, and I nicked all the stuff from the armoury, and again, sold it back to them. So really, I wasn't leaving rivet city defenseless, just a little out of pocket

MIRV to the ground below you grants you a bigger jump than any rocket launcher in team fortress 2

 

[Elburzito]

I go around and pretend to be wide idealist...Then slowly but surely I become corrupt.

Yeah I have that too.

I have way too many strange habits while playing Fallout 3. Here are some in order of importance:

- Be a packrat. I don't know when I'll need this item, but I know when the time comes that I do I'll be sad I left it here. It makes using the Rock-it launcher painful for me if I don't know where the item I shot ricocheted to. It also makes raiding vaults a lesson in annoyance. I can't adequately explain why I feel I need to pick things up, I just do. It's more of an ailment if you ask me.

- Keep at least one of every special use weapon(MIRV, Sniper rifle, Katana[it's special use is being awesome]). I know I don't ever use the MIRV cause it causes too much collateral damage and I know I barely ever snipe, but keep them anyway.

- Go to Paradise Falls and kill Eulogy Jones. Take his jacket. Feel awesome killing the rest of the slavers in what is the wasteland equivalent of a pimp suit. Consider releasing the slaves.

- Finish the Blood Ties quest. Kill Vance. Take his jacket and sword. Feel awesome killing the rest of the vampires in a badass jacket via flaming sword. Feel no remorse.

- After finding oasis, sit with Harold for a while. I feel really bad having to kill him, cause he is one of the few people in the wasteland I like.

- Try to be a good guy (Barring the two above examples of jackassery). I just can't bring myself to be a jerk to people who have suffered through a post-apocalyptic wasteland their entire lives while I chilled in a vault. Sure, it means I'll never get the bad karma achievements, but I just can't be a total ass to everyone.

 

[Valgee]

I make Megaton (In the instances where I choose not to blow it up; the first time I did it was on my Neutral Ninja) my personal wasteland within the Wasteland. I use the Sandman Perk to wipe out everyone except the old folks who never seem to sleep and Stockholm and the kids. With the killables, I nade their pants and live in Megaton, completely alone, save for the two kids who I never see anyway.

 

[Scythax]

Every time I visit Craterside supply to sell my crap, to get the most out of it I get my stuff repaired (clothes only, since I repair my own weapons), sell my stuff, repair again so she has more money, sell again, then just before I leave she shop, EVERY TIME, I punch the merc that sits on the wall who keeps abusing me, in the face, then run away.

What do you mean "abusing me"?

Every single time I go in that place, he looks at me, and says something mockingly like "I'm looking for troublemakers, have you seen any?" or "I hope you're not planning on stealing that" when all I ever do is go there, trade, help with that damn book then go about my business! He ridicules me for no reason every single time, so now I give him a proper reason. Thusly, he deserves to be punched in the mouth every time he does it, which is, of course, every time I see him. = )

EDIT: I also have a boarderline OCD habit of every time I tell Dogmeat to find me chems and he brings me a bottle of beer (which for some reason happens A LOT) I tell him he's a good boy. The speech option does absolutly nothing of consequence, but I feel better for it. If I don't do it I feel neglectful and guilty.

 

[ffs-dontcare]

I decorate my Megaton house. Like, a lot. I store surplus weapons and ammo in the lockers next to the door, and everything else in the lockers by the kitchen. I also decorate my workbench and such, as well as my bedroom, with things that make it look better. For example, my bedroom has my old pre-war baseball equipment (bat, ball, hat) arranged nicely, with my Tunnel Snakes outfit laid out neatly on my bed.

I came into the game intending to be an anti-hero, but I find myself being too much of a pussy to select any dialogue options other than the GOOD ones most of the time. >_<

I don't use Bloody Mess... it gets boring shooting someone with one bullet clean in the head and watching all his limbs fly off all of a sudden. Every single time. Gore like that is better when it's scarce. Like in the original FEAR.

 

[DigitalSushi]

I always try to make my companions dress like Abe Lincoln.

 

[Scythax]

You know you don't have to kill Harold right? If you talk to a certain grove member they give you the option of making him grow even faster than he is and extending his reach to the whole of capital wasteland! You get some very nice rewards for it too.

Oh yeah, I'll add this to my list of habits as well, even if it is as recent as 10minutes ago via revelation. No longer will I use Tenpenny Tower as my Player Housing. Henceforth, my hose shall be the Sniper Shack on top of the mountain in North-Western Capital Wasteland (The one which has the Victory Rifle in it)! Seriously, it's awesome! It has two pet radroaches in a playpen who respawn if Dogmeat decides they look tasty(seriously), no npc owners, a freakin huge teadybear with a beer in his hand, plenty of lockers, and best of all, the mountain overlooks a camp of Supermutants who, with the help of said Victory Rifle, make brilliant sport shooting, like fish in a barrel. For those who don't know where it is, heres a link from the fallout wiki;

[Kouen]

must have crazy coloured hair and look damn cool!

 

[Mr Cwtchy]

I tried being evil once.

It lasted until I left Vault 101(and I sided with Amata regardless), I'm such a sap on this game.

When I get Megaton House(due to aforementioned sappiness), I will always put my special weapons in one locker, armour in the other and the ammo in the filing cabinet upstairs. My Misc items go in my desk whilst my Quantums go in my Nuka Machine.

Just makes the place seem more like MINE, you know.

 

[brunothepig]

I hoard any special item. Same on Oblivion and Morrowind. First thing I do is get a house to store all my cool stuff. No wait, before that, when I'm leaving the vault, I behead Amata's dad (the overseer) with a fucking SWITCHBLADE! It was brutal. Amata didn't like me after that...

 

[Scythax]

Any Quantums I got (after finishing the Nuka Cola Challenge of course) I wold instantly turn into a Nuka-Grenade. Those things are just SO. DAMN. POWERFUL. And cool.

 

[Buleet]

I collect a LOT of things.
as of now i am collecting
-deathclaw hands
-lincon artifacts
-teddy bears
-special weapons

then i put them all in one place.the teddy bears go on the bed,the lincon artifacts go on the table in youre room.the deathclaw hand i put on te table upstairs(and one on my dinner table),and special weapons i have yet to really start with that one but i put ol'painless agains my wall.and i almost have all the house things.

 

[Rayansaki]

Heh I prefer the Shock Sword over Shinkslebob thingy. Even though a perk will make the latter do more damage, sneak critical slicing raiders into ash is too awesome.

Never bought the Anchorage DLC.Seemed pointless to spend $10 on 1 hour of gameplay. I got Broken Steel, but only for the level cap change.

you can just buy goty edition nowadays for 15$ with all the dlc.

 

[Rayansaki]

I always go for the option that gives me more caps. I never buy anything from merchants unless I have enough stuff to trade in, which ends up with me receiving caps. I always take speech so I can ask for more caps. Caps, caps, caps. I always end up with 20k+ within 25 hours of the game. And I never spend it wonder why.

 

[The DSM]

I started putting nuka-cola in the machine in my house and ended up with around 250 in there.

Oh and reloading all the time.

 

[jamesworkshop]

The habit i had to break was simply picking up everything in sight
