Fallout 3 - Hidden gems and random discoveries

[Quotemaster]

Once in Evergreen Mills I released the Behemoth from the cliff and watched him rampage around killing the raiders.Seeing as they have little to no weapons, I thought he would wipe them all out and I could just kill him form the cliff and then go pick up all the loot. No he died. From raiders with 10mm pistols and bare fists :S

I haven't played this game in a very long time, and I found this little gem around the first time playing, and I could never find it again. So my memory could be a little foggy. If anyone has found this place, please correct me. I honestly can't remember the whole story.

Oh well, here goes.


I was walking off the beaten path, and I found a little street of houses. I figured "I'll go in"

I do, and it was this nice family that had a clean home. Very normal. I looked around, and noticed the Basement was locked with a pretty high lockpicking skill level to open it.


I was specialized in lockpicking.


I make sure no one is looking, and I go in. I see nothing at first, and then I walk downstairs to see a table with a corpse on it, missing a few limbs with other body parts over the room. I found a ripper (My very first!) and then in an act of justice for those killed, I walked up and killed the family. It was liberating.

Ah yes, you speak of Andale. The small cannibal settlement. Yea, raiders don't go near that place.

I remember that place... It was a lot of fun. Well, it's always a laugh to pickpocket someone, take everything they have, then leave a grenade there. Hilarious. Just make sure you get away. Some guy took offense, and started punching me, blew up in my face, then we both died. Then there was Tenpenny. When he said he wanted the city blown up because it was an eyesore, I looked out into the wasteland. Couldn't see it. Is it possible he was lying? So, I got out my sniper rifle, and surveyed the landscape once more. Still nothing. As I was turning, his head sudden;y appeared in my sights. This was fairly startling, resulting in his decapitation. I didn't plan to kill him, but after watching his head sail off the tower, I decided it was well worth it, took the suit, quick saved and jumped off the tower for giggles.
Lastly, in that tower, I drank from the toilets. Since it's filtered, it's healthier than most fountains and sinks outside, so the irony was too much to pass up.

I think when I was trying to find the White House, or what remained of it, I went down into some tunnels and found a ramp set up to jump over a car and a trashed motorcycle near by. After thinking about it, I looked up and saw a skeleton stuck to a light fixture. He obviously got electrocuted trying to act like Evel Knievel.

Plunger room of death is pretty good, if you walk in slowly you'll find stacked items to the right that could not have stacked by one single person, because the base is made from 9 pencils!

Lead tips down I might add.

Pretty much this.

There's also a holotape near a drainpipe detailing a man's intention to hide out with his wife and child in a drainpipe. When you enter the drainpipe itself, you come to a small hideout with two skeletons lying against a wall of sandbags. The child is nowhere to be found.

Realising what happened to Gary 23 made me a little worried about what would happen if I didn't survive O:A. Then I stumbled onto Vault 108... yeah.

HAHA! THAT MADE ME LAUGH SO MUCH. XD
Where exactly do you find this?

Under a bridge in the middle of the city there's this door that leads into an interesting area where some punk went toilet plunger crazy. Toilet plungers stuck all over the place, walls, ceiling, assorted dummies. I apparently ran cross a post-apocalyptic dadaist studio. The artist was nowhere to be found, and I appropriated his plungers as ammunition for the Rock-It Launcher.

Found a wikia entry on the area. [http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Shelter#Interior]

It's around SatCom Array NN-03d at the central-northernmost area of the Wasteland.

i have a question, does anyone (who has played a while) still have all there caravans still alive?
because i have none left, all of them where killed off slowly...

 

[Sleekgiant]

WOW I feel like the god of this thread for there is nothing I haven't done in Fallout 3. My favorite moment is looting Colonel Autumns body while he's in the control room. Then when you fight him the second time be dressed up like him.

They will die of randomly when you get towards the end of the game, but if you know the well known caps and ammo glitch you will never need them

Mad Johnny Wes.

If any of you don't know about this guy, he is holed up in the Hubris Comics building. He is in the Publishing Plant area, and has two automated turrets set up to fight off any feral ghouls in the building, and trust me, the building is full of the damn things. He is located in the managers area, basically an office set up above the printing floor to keep an eye on the workers.

Now you think that he would be an easy kill.

You are wrong.

Not only is he a tough son-of-a-***** with more health than a goddamn Super Mutant Brute, as well as 10 Perception, which means that he always knows where you are.

Also, he has a frickin' minigun.

A MINIGUN!


Another one for me is the first time I found Paradise Falls. And, for that play through, the last.

You see, I had gotten the Mesmetron from Grouser, and decided to test it.

On him.

Bad move. It didn't do jack. Either that, or his head exploded. I forgot which. Anywho, the Slavers turned hostile. Not a good plan for them, I tell you.

After slaughtering the guards outside, I made my way inside the town.

Best damn firefight of my life.

I believe I used a Combat Shotgun. 20 minutes and dozens of exploding heads later, all of the slavers had been killed, all of the slaves had been freed (except for Breadbox, old fake deaf bastard), and Paradise Falls was left empty.

Damn shame. Slavers had a pretty good set up there. They only made one mistake.

They pissed me off.

Cheers. Checking that out later...XD

I like people swearing at me.

Any venture into the vaults were creepy, kind of makes you think what was the whole point of vaults anyway.
