Ahh, finally a chance to share a few. *ahem*
1) I find Evergreen Mills on a random run-through. Having beaten the game thoroughly a few times, I decide 'What the hell', and decided to do one thing I'd never done before; let loose the Behemoth and let it wreck havoc on the raiders. What followed was both hillarious as I watched through the scope of my sniper rifle as it tore raider after raider a new one, and glorious as I watched two raiders seek shelter atop the scafolding around the slave pen, and out of range, killed the Behemoth with what I later discovered to be a hunting rifle and a 9mm handgun. I always wondered what they must have been thinking:
"Keep firing, Hans! I think those last fifty rounds might have wounded him!"
"Thank goodness I wore my pants made of ammo today!"
2) Another Behemoth story, one a lot of folks seem to share. It's my first playthrough. I have only recently achieved the mighty weapon, the hunting rifle. Yes, it was that early in the game. As I wander, eager to see this strange new world, I stumble across what appears to be a teddy bear trapped in a cage made of shopping carts. Curious, I go closer...
Veterans of the game know what happens next well enough. Going close enough or trying to interact with the cage triggers a Behemoth, with Fire-Hydrant-On-A-Pole, to spawn and attempt to turn you into hamburger. I ran for the hills, literally, and on finding I could outrun the Behemoth- but just barely -I began a running gun battle that saw me, by the end, down to two rounds for my handgun, none for my rifle, no stimpacks, a drug addiction... and a dead Behemoth. I think I declare the game officially great right about then...
3) I played the PS3 version far too many times... at launch, after trophies came out, with expansions, for each Karma path. But the last run I made was the evil karma run, since I prefer saving the wasteland to damning it. Even then, there was something strangely satisfying about gathering the Winterized T-51b armor, taking up a shock sword, and going Pint-Size Slasher on the entire town of Megaton, depleating it of any adult life before heading back to Tenpenny and nuking the remains.
4) One last story, but one of my favorites. On a random run through, and after a brief Oblivion binge, I found myself mentally commenting three things:
*1: It's so much nicer being able to move even slowly when you have over the weight limit.
*2: Man, Raven Rock has so much good stuff, I could never take it all without going over the weight limit and being unable to fast travel back to Megaton. Which sucks, since you can't ever come back here.
*3: ...I have time to kill, and want to do something silly.
So I looted Raven Rock. All of it. You know under the eating area, where there are all those forks? Looted them. Every science room, with various unimportant doodads? Looted them. Every bloody object, piece of armor, and armament in the entire facility? Looted it. By the time I left there, I was carrying several tons of equipment.
And I walked.
Inch by inch, step by step, with Fawkes by my side, I journeyed back to Megaton. Anyone or anything along the way I saw that could be picked up was. And when I made it back, damn it all, I felt proud of my amazingly silly deed.
