So I was playing Fallout 3 last night and in the Potomac River swimming happily away with dogmeat (he just loves jumping into water), when I turn around I shit my pants ... Victoria Watts of the Spanish Inquisition (sorry railroad) is out swimming after me, once she catches up she does that auto dialogue with me.

It was rather odd, out in the middle of the water swimming but stuck with her righteous attitude in my face, the fact that I just saw her survive a Yao Guai attack as well made me think of the Terminator.

Dude... I once bumped into Victoria Watts underwater in the broken bow of Rivet City, in the area with he mirelurks.

She was just floating there underwater looking at me as I came in through the submerged door...

I almost jumped through the ceiling.

Yeah, that lady is creepy.

She always knows where you are!

So she is The Terminator, how the hell can she get into the broken bow?

I hate that *****, I like Harkness but I traded him in for some shiny new perks because of her... if it wasn't for her I probably would save him.

Also, Ben Canning came to my rescue!, is so bad ass, he's like Three Dogs brother or something.

She's a freak of nature. Then again so is my Lone Wanderer.

I hate Ben Canning, he stole Lucky Harith's spot on the trade routes and I could never find him again. All those lovely Chinese Assault rifles I could have had :(

I discovered that Bethesta needs better hair in all their games and I always have to mod their games for it.

I discovered that Ten Penny is the funniest kill in the game, you can do so much to him and no one cares, drop 2 dozen mines and throw in some bottle cap mines, [F5]shoot him in the chest, watch him go enemy on you then detonate 5 miles into the air. [F9]

It's been a while since I played it, I can't recall anything memorable but hmm...I'd say that one haunted building where they screwed with you here and there, I didn't see it coming when they started flashing images of the ghost at me/

I ran into 1 of only 2 friendly super mutants in the game. I think his name was Uncle Roe. He gives you a suit if you talk to him

The Caravaners start to get killed off after a certain level, my Doc Hof is currently without his guard, so he'll get killed soon... which means my beloved Eyebot helmet is FUBAR.

Also, how do you like Charon?, I've got him in T-51 armor and given him the Terrible Shotgun, I hardly lift a finger in battle now, which is good I do the scavenging and he does the murdering.

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.
Damn you... i was just about to post a video of the amazing fuck you door

Ninja'D
you did get ninja'd but in the two towers ther theres a boarded door with a crack and if you look behind it theres a fucking huge teddy bear.

I never use the followers, I prefer to be alone with the wasteland!

PLus I hate babysitting AI.

But I like Charon.... especially when he blows his former master's head off hehe

I actually got both Harkness's weapon AND the perk from dr. Zimmer... :D and caps from Harkness too! (I think...) Too bad you can't do that in most of the other "karma moments", take both that is...
EDIT: and Victoria also found me under water... she was just swimming under the broken bow... didn't move either...

I was the same until I had Charon, once I heard he could wear armor that was it, watched him take on two deathclaws with only three bars of life taken off him.

She scared the shit out of me when I exited pinkerton's place.

Needless to say, I shot her in the face, took all of her stuff, and sent her floating down the Potomac.

When I was doing the reilley's rangers quest I stumbled upon a skeleton on a bed with a holotape titled little moonbeam. It turned out to be the dead guy's message to his daughter saying that a 'deal went bad' and he was shot in the gut.

Later I ran into a woman at the National Archives while doing a quest. At the end of the quest, when it let me ask her about her personal life, she told me that her father had gone off to do a job and abandoned her. She said her dad had called her "little moonbeam." That was a huge coincidence right there. So, when I showed her the holotape, she cried, and gave me her "ultra SMG." Fucking cool weapon.

Alright, to the east of Andale and west of the Nuka-Cola plant, there's a little Enclave outpost with an Officer and three soldiers without helmets. The soldiers only have laser pistols, and are doing pushups under the eye of the Officer.

But that's not all; after completing Broken Steel, the officer dies automatically. An Outcast patrol wanders into the outpost, and the Enclave dudes surrender. But the Outcasts immediatly yell "We aren't the Brotherhood! This is how we deal with prisoners!" and laser them. That's cool.

No, I just thought she didn't deserve the possessions.

Dude, you don't even need to give Charon the Terrible Shotgun. His normal one doesn't degrade, has unlimited ammo, and kicks just as much ass.
