Your best Fallout 3 stories

[Life_Is_A_Mess]

Oh, I got another one.

I got tired of doing slavery missions for those Paradise falls slavers, so I went to my Megaton house, grabbed the minigun from my desk got all the bullets in my lockers.

Fast Travel...

Paradise Falls. I took out the minigun and walked very calmly into their fort. The guy at the entrance yelled: "HEY, YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE!", and started firing at me with a slaver. I just turned myself and painted their walls in gore.

I massacred every single slaver using a wide variety of overpowered weapons, and for teh lulz, I decapitated the last slaver with the Reservist's Rifle. I rescued the... wait, I'm not supposed to tell this part... heheh.

Then I got to level 20.

Fast travelling somewhere then looking round and seeing a Brute, a master and three Overlords. If that wasn't enough two Albino Radscorpions showed about thirty seconds later. Never been so glad to have a level 37 (mods) Fawkes and Dogmeat.

Oh and 'Hey a shopping trolley with a teddy bear in it'
'I'll just take that and HOLY SHIT!'

I'm all about Uncle Leo. One of the best parts of the game is random encounters like that!

I snuck into evergreen mills just as it was getting close to nightime,I sniped damn near all the guards i could from the mountains without them even noticing i was there (not once did i go from hidden to caution)

Then i snuck down by jumping onto the factory and killed as many sleeping guards as i could using my sandman skill,From there on i stealth killed damn near everyone,finally placed a bottlecap mine in smiling jack's pocket,nicked his shotgun and ran.

It was epic,especially considering i only had a sniper rifle,a knife,and one bottlecap mine.

I know it's horribly demented of me to wish death upon children, and I shouldn't even give a second thought to how the game outright protects them from slaughter.... but it is children like little Wilkes that make me foam at the mouth and beg for something more satisfying than slavery to wreak on their little smiling heads.

Filling Three Dogs room with bottlecap mines while he was sleeping and watching him wake up.

I would have liked to see him fight that "Good Fight"

 

[Devil's Due]

I did the stupidest thing.

I saved over my first file, on accident. I had put in over 130 hours and before I knew it...........

..........it was all gone...

I was laughing at myself for the rest of the day.

I felt like such a dumbass.

Ouch, that's why I usually have literally three saves for all characters for all games. It goes that I use the last saved game of the three as my next save point so if something did happen, I'd only lose about twenty minutes of progress at most.

As for my best fallout stories, is when I went around in the anchorage medic armor from mothership zeta and full healing, so I'd fix everything like a wandering doctor that heals everyone that requires that attention. Kind of like that one doctor in ME2 who says "Sometimes heal people who needs help, sometimes kill the bad people who need to be done with." or something like that.

Also when I went around as a Enclave soldier raiding Megaton and such in the name of America! *Plays John Eden's radio channel in the background*

Man, I miss Fallout 3.

[Stuntcrab]

I was about to kill a deathclaw next to andale and then it rocket to mars....
Or
When I killed a Raider and the corpse glitched and went flying around all stretched out.
And
When I got so far on the Pc verson and it decided to fuck up on me and pretty much shoot itstelf causing it to crash whenever I saved... and I can't uninstall it, when I do it says it can't find the fallout 3 directory.

One time I saw the explosion for the Name Alien blaster (original game) I found the ammo for it laying around but I just could not find the gun. So I marked it on my map, went and got Dogmeat, went back and told Dogmeat to find me a gun. The first time he took me to a standard safe, the second time he took me to firelance. Regardless, I was most please with Dogmeat.

 

[SyphonX]

This one time, I walked into Craterside Supply, and dropped down about 20 Bottlecap Mines, and 35 Frag Mines right around Moira Brown's feet. I lit them up with a Nuka Cola Grenade, and she died. I'm Syphon, and this is my story.

Also, at another time, I decided to blow up Megaton literally just to spite Moira Brown. To my horror, on my long journey back from Tenpenny Tower, there, outside the ruins of Megaton, was Moira Brown. Though her flesh was scalded, so it wasn't all bad.

 

[Tiny116]

Well blowing up Megaton looked really sweet, but my best FO3 moment came today
I was on my way to GNR (I'm playing an ultra Evil Superbitch) anyways I get into a tussle with the Supermutants (There are no Brotherhood around I don't know why, probably because I blew up megaton before activating the quest) As I'm going past my most recent kills I hear a roar and get shot at from behind, as I turn around a Super Mutant jumps off the remains of the floor above.
I instantly flick into VATS and with my Tactical shot gun fire once at his chest and face.
Let me try and picture this for you.
The cinematics go into super slowmo and pan of to a side on picture of a supermutant in mid air jumping towards me as I fire once in his chest and then again in his face, his body then reels backwards and in the opposite direction.
It was just one of those jaw dropping...OH. MY. GOD. mesmerising moments of epicness you get every once in a while in gaming when once its finished you think...Did that actually happen, and then..FUCK I wish I could have recorded that!

Yeah I only did that this week and laughed aloud when I saw her XD

 

[Chelsizzle]

Walking through Old Olney, seeing Deathclaws one after another launch into the sky, never to be seen again. 'Twas amazing.

And I killed a behemoth with a rolling pin.

This isn't a very good story, but during the quest when you're leading the scientists I was almost to the Brotherhood base when out of nowhere Dogmeat jumps out and the next thing I know the BOS soldiers are shooting at him with a flamethrower and he died. But I reloaded a save and everything was fine after that

 

[HeySeansOnline]

I'm searching for the first other vault, I run into the raider camp with the mutant, I end up killing everything, when I just so happen to accidentally shoot a traveling merchant, now I'm low on health, out of stimpaks and water, so I take absolutely everything I have, and kill the guard. So I'm left, out of nearly everything, and a multiple drug addict, i spent the last of my days killing and stealing until I died alone. The wasteland never got that water purity.

Sadly he couldn't save Reagan because he wasn't born, bet running around with alien technology was fun though.

 

[AMMO Kid]

My friend and I were playing it together and he decided to make a mine pit to launch himself out of Megaton. So he was stacking the 100+ mines he had stored up and he had about 90 of them down, when he looks up and sees Jericho standing next to him. Since Jericho is evil we heard a "click" sound, and then my friend went, "Aww crap..." and then the mines went off. it was so random that my sides almost split.

Another time I attached the fusion pulse charge to the bomb in Megaton, and I went to go push the detonator at Tempenny Tower. But at the last second I changed my mind and killed Tempenny and Burke and dropped their bodies over the edge of the building. I still get tempted to go back and push that button...


the power...
