Fallout 3 - Hidden gems and random discoveries

[MiracleOfSound]

The andale place was a bit disturbing, seeing as the kid would of had to marry his uhh cousin I think.

That was disturbing enough, but what you found in the shed was even worse...

I remember coming across a guy called "The Roach King sitting on a "throne" (an old chair on top of a pile of garbage) in the middle of nowhere. He was surrounded by radroaches, which he sent to attack me when I got too close.

He also has a handy mini nuke hidden on his throne, which you can sit on and take a little rest!

The Dunwich building. Really creepy,and full of H P Lovecraft references. Reminds me of Hackdirt in Oblivion. Bethesda must love Lovecraft.

Did you get thew Point Lookout DLC? You find out what the Obelisk in the Dunwich building is for.

The first time Dogmeat died; I was so attached to him that I had to reload my previous save to prevent his death.

I always just leave him in my Megaton house where he's safe.

I can't bear to get him killed and I hate having followers anyway.

The two skeletons lying in a bed, holding eachother.

I remember finding a guy named "Drifter" and he had a badass sniper rifle that I wanted so I shot him with "Lincoln's Repeater" and he went flying.

Literally. He bounced everywhere in the church he was in and right out the door and I never saw him again. He was going so fast I couldn't see him

I think in the capitol building or someplace, there's this bathroom stall.

The toilet is rigged up to a battery, and there's a skeleton on the toilet. Also, whenever you use the toilet, it electrocutes you.

Special mention for the murderous gnome, who is taking photos of the teddy bears he has tied to the train tracks.

I shot 3 sniper bullets in vats, the sniper broke before the first got out and this happened:
The first bullet stopped infront of me, even when I was out of VATS it was just standing still
The second bullet went ahead normally
The third bullet hit him in the head, went through and somehow tethered him to it when he was still alive..

Hmm, well, I'd have to think pretty hard on this one...
Oh, yeah.
Well, once I was just walking around, and suddenly a Robo-brain fell out of the sky and landed on my head, and it freaking half killed me! And another time, I was in Old Olney, and not only did I just barely manage to jump out of the sewer I would NOT have survived, about 5 brotherhood outcasts and a protectron came out of nowhere, got mauled and there was just one left when I got there on 1/2 health with a gatling laser.

In broken steel (and mother ship zeta I think), tucked away in corners are funny little scenes being acted out by teddy bears and garden gnomes including strip poker, bowling, cutting up meat,checkers and getting drunk

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.

Same. But he always returned to Vault 101 (I'd get a pop up message). Is there any way to stop that from happening? I've played through to Platinum on 2 occasions and never figured that one out...

If you return to Megaton and talk to him every so often I think it resets the timer for how long we waits.

It's no biggie if he moves back to the Vault though, it's safe and secluded there and as far as I know there aren't any enemy spawns nearby.

In the factory at old olney in the broken steel addon, in one of the offices was a house of cards made by train tickets

[Premonition]

I lawled pretty hard at the Roach King. xD

 

[Sodoff]

Aw Man.. I should get this game!

Well not far from Vault 101 theres this small town or whatever, inside the shop theres ALOT of boxes and stuff lined up and arrows pointing to a preassure plate. I stepped on it and a ram with a cow skull at the head knocked one of the boxes and it turned out to be a domino. The last box fell on anoter plate and activated a ball pitcher machine which did something and ,if I remember correctly, blew the place up.

Also at that Bethesda HQ place where you find a bobble head, theres a bathtub filled with some sort of liquid and a dead mercenary floating there with alot of empty milk bottles lying about. I draw the conclusion that the raider drowned a merc in milk. Good times!

I found a guy named the "The Roach King".
He wore rags, so I attacked him, expecting an easy kill.
To my surprise, he pulled out a minigun and filled me with led.

Where? Where I ask?

I must know.
