Fallout 3 : Truly Sickening or oddly amusing?

Fallout 3 is both dark and hilarious quite regularly, often at the same time. Darkly hilarious, even.
There are quite a few memorable encounters in the game. Tranquility Lane, Andale and Oasis all spring to mind, amongst others. I haven't played any of the DLC yet (though I intend to get it all with the Game of The Year edition fairly shortly). I can't help but feel that the game would have been better if it had used something closer to the Dragon Age: Origins morality system, rather than the mostly black and white good/bad karma system, though.

It's really not that hard to shift your karma though. Once you have your House in Megaton, every couple of days or so Wadsworth will give you 5 purified waters. I just stored them in my fridge until I had a bunch. Once I needed to get my karma all the way to good, I just grab all of them and give em all to the thirsty dude outside of the city. Boom. Good karma.
As for the most disturbing thing in fallout, I'd have to say in Landmine, when you go into houses and see all the remains of people, yet the radio is still on. And in one house, you go up stairs and there are two skeletons lying on the queen-sized bed with a bunch of Jet and Buffout on their night stands, hinting that they committed suicide together to avoid the nuclear holocaust. Something about it is just so dark, yet subtle, that it gives me the creeps.

Springvale School, with all the children's skeletons locked in that cage.
The Dunwich building for weirdness, and those holotapes about Jaime turning into a ghoul.

YOU LOOK NOW OR I CUT YOU

[spoiler/]I had done a second fallout 3 game. I was trying to be the nicest person on the cursed planet. Now, I had alreasy explored the world like 53,594 times, so I desided to finish the game once and for all. I was in the big final radoactive purifier chamber. I was having my sweet time, but I ran and typed in the code. I fell over, and I felt very happy. But then, BOOM! I got the bad ending because I waited to long and the purifier exploded. It was funny.[/spoiler]

The whole game was messed up. Thats why we love it.

The vault where you wind up inhaling some really trippy drugs... As soon as I walked through a doorway, the screen turned a purple tint, and there was a line of 5 Amatas walking towards me... I was scared, and decided to shoot one of them, and the hallucination stopped. Then I recieved negative Karma...
I didn't progress any further until I had the Enclave Commander mod.

I loved that vault. Also, the teddybear in the trolleycage was rather strange, when you pick it up a behemoth comes over the hill to attack you.
