Fallout 3 - Hidden gems and random discoveries

[Mr.PlanetEater]

I went inside the Springvale Elementary school's basement, and behind one of the corners was a huge torso nailed to a wall. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that but to me it was the most interesting thing...until the Fuck you door..man that was ace XD.

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

LMAO, I'm a good guy, I'm guessing that in your Wasteland Three Dog is currently calling you a scumbag.

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.

Yeah I know that, but I don't use it and the Terrible Shotgun gives him twice the stopping power, all in all win win!

And I never use power armour since its takes away agility.

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.

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 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.

He's really that tough?

Wow, might give him a little stroll around so and see how we get on.

Dogmeat and Fawkes just died on me the times I took them out.

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.

same thing happened to me kinda, i just thought it would be cool to kill them all ^.^

Charon is only that tough when you give him the armour you obtain from the "Shoot them in the Head" quest and Smiling Jacks Terrible shotgun, he'll dish out unlimited shotgun shells too.

He's actually stronger than Fawkes once you give him standard armour.

Same metro that has Strapping Young Lad lyrics on a terminal! Bethesda do awesome easter eggs.

BE-jah!
What?! Man, now i feel bad I missed that...
What lyrics were they? (I'm guessing something off city, right? )

Yep, lyrics from Detox. It's this crazy programmer going insane going 'I wish that I could sleep, and just get this over with, I'm lost, I'm freaking, and everybody knows, everyone's watching'

ON top of that, his initials are D.T. and the system he's programming is called SYL.

Awesome huh? Someone at Bethesda is a Devin Townsend fan.

There are Fear Factory lyrics in the main foyer of the museum of tech too.

OK, I'll take him along for some Deathclaw hunting sometime once my new character gets the T51b

I love the terrible shotgun but I always feel guilty killing Smiling Jack for it... sure he's a raider but he was nice to me...

Quick Tip, for some reason Yao Guai is Charon's Achilles heel, they will kill him.. anything else including Behemoths or Deathclaws... just leisurely shoot them.

With Smiling Jack I drop mines and pretend that they fell out of my inventory and I didn't notice, eases my conscience.

edit, since your going to get the T-51 armour, get the dart gun schematics, it'll help if you plan on going through old olney.

Awh, that's pretty damn awesome!
At the weekend when I get a chance it's time to boot up some fallout 3 again!
Unfortunately though, I lost my level 19 character so I have to start again...

Crouching next to a Brahmin and tipping it FTW.

Ouch... you'll be a while getting to the presidential metro so, it only opens up after you complete the main game I think.

What's your avatar by the way?

I laughed my ass off first time I found that out. It's even funnier watching the physics engine have a hernia as it gets back up...

The charge is manslaughter instead of murder then... fuck it, he propably did his share of raping and pillaging.

Ah well, knowing it's there is kick ass enough! I'll get around to it eventually. Probably.
Oh, It's a character from one of my favourite webcomics: http://nedroid.com/

 

[Byakuren]

Most of the stuff I'd write about was already mentioned, so... that leaves the Chinese Remnant Soldiers at Whatshername Food Factory. The first time I went there I was just minding my own business until I hear someone shouting gibberish at me and going "DEATH TO USA!" Was quite funny actually.

Speaking of paying homage to other stuff, I found something that could very well pass as a homage to their old rotating head Imperial Guard glitch from Oblivion. I got caught by Victoria Watts' auto dialogue while I was swimming down to Pinkerton's place too, and she would slowly tilt her head sideways as if her neck was made of rubber until it disappeared inside her torso, only to pop back up instantly moments afterwards. She pulled that trick four times during the conversation. She kept alternating between clock and counterclockwise too. That attention whore.

Needless to say, I have never laughed so hard at a videogame in my entire life.

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

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

Didn't they make the Cthulhu game?

Ha that was a good cartoon. Liked it!

Finding Lincoln's Hat. I immediately wore on a Black Suit, changed my character's beard, put on sunglasses, and went out to kick some ass.

EVIL LINCOLN!

Win! did you get his gun too?

Hmmm I guess it would be so far single handedly taking Paradise falls at level 6 or 7. I had almost no ammo and most ammo that I had was in my 10mm pistol, I quickly kill the leader and his servants in the building. Then move outside to find about 6-9 mercs waiting to kill me 1 with supersledge, 1 with magnum, 1 with minigun and 1 with a assault rifle...can't remember others. Basiclly I killed the magnum guy first, took his magnum and leftover ammo plugged the supersledger and this is where it got very tricky, I had only 1 stimpak at the time and and to take cover from the minigunner and assault rifler. I wipe out my hunting rifle, only a few bullets are left and I aim for headshots on the minigunner, I wipe out most of his health and then pretty much blindfire him with a 10mm pistol until his falls. I use a stimpak to regain some hp and run for the minigun dodge some medium fire, all the heavy stuff has been wiped out. Pretty much from the high vantage point and minigun I wipe out all but 1 enemy, the assault rifler. I take out my magnum and go for gold, needless to say I just barely won with 1 bar of hp left and still the rest of the camp to clear. It was the most fun I had.
