[One Seven One]

I was walking through the wasteland at night when I saw some gun fire off in the distance, I went into vats and some a group of people fighting a deathclaw, this was the first deathclaw I've ever seen and continued to watch from afar to see how deathclaws fight.. it flew into the air until I couldn't see it anymore then came down and clawed one of fighters to death with one swipe.

I quickly turned around and ran away as fast as I could.

I was skulking about a oh so dark train station. When upon me a ghoul surged up. Shocked I hit my vats button, as its ugly mug was staring at me. I took my combat shotgun, pointed it up his nose, and fired. The explosion of gore, that was its head, resulted in one spectacular tidbit. I got to watch, in slow mo, as his eyes went in different directions.

They same games aren't art.

Another vats moment involved a feral dog running at me. Vats, head, yada yada. The resulting animation had its head roll past my feet. While its body soared end over end above my head.

Vats ragdolls were usually pretty hilarious

I had a guy do a headless double backflip once in slowmo from a vats headshot.

I travelled the wastes collecting pre war money. I had a pile of 200 individual unitsish in my house. Not many wastelanders can swim in a money pool!

It was level 30 and i was determined to discover every location on the map, I as clearing some kind of Raider cavern/cave in the South-west, after clearing the Cave with Paulson's Revolver (the one from his corpse) and Backwater Rifle, i noticed a frag grenade lying on a counter, for no reason, I picked it up and kept it (my only one at that point). Five minutes later, I come across a drive-in theater infested with raiders and cars, grinning wildly, I throw it into the crowd and watch the nuke's in cars do their work.
When I got to megaton, my character celebrated with a Jet party at Gob's.

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.

The same thing happened to me except I was only at 60 hours. Then I restarted and now I am back to 124 hours.
My favorite moment was when a sentry bot commited suicide by putting it's gatling lazer to it's head and firing 20-30 times.

Shooting every single slaver in Paradise Falls with a Abraham Lincoln's gun while reading Abraham Lincoln's hat was a nice one.
But my most memorable moment was the first time I came out of Vault 101. I went inside a nearby abandoned school building expecting some friendly people and instead I found dismembered bodies hanging on hooks on the walls and children's skeletons lying around the ground. Then a raider comes through the doorway but i managed to escape.
That's when I knew that game was business.

I did the same thing, But was suprisingly able to kill all of them... I still don't understand how I managed it.

Getting my arse handed to me in multiple areas and drinking Nuka-Cola quantums to heal up so I can save Stimpacks and then running into the crazy Nuka-Cola lady and accepting the mission.

. . . F@#$!

One time when I was walking in the capital when I walked by this one bus it just flew right into the building I was walking towards and exploded.

Also the first time I played operation anchorage, when I was storming the main base I had just turned off the electric field and was about to enter the base. All I had to do was wait for them to blow up the door. I waited for a while and they didnt blow it up so I started walking towards it in case I had to pass a point and when I got close it blew up and killed me.

Guys all of you who had dogmeat in your compain had him die are stupid. MY Dogmeat killed a fucking super mutant BEHEMOTH without my help, without god mode.

Yeah, because it's our fault the idiotic little fucker would randomly run off and get into fights while we were busy fighting for our lives. Keeping Dogmeat alive is supposed to be a challenge - I just didn't see the point of it, after he died for the second time. You must have had a glitched Dogmeat, because allowing the weakest support character to kill a Behemoth is moronic game design.

I got Dogmeat and was quiet pleased with my new companion. I went off and he was almost instantly sniped by a raider... apparently there is a perk to get unlimited Dogmeat puppies but SCREW THAT

DUDE! I didn't drink them, but I know I had at least 30 and I sold them all! I decided to go back to Moira and try to buy them back, but she didn't have them anymore!!! I was so mad I blew up Megaton just to kill her. Well, you know how that turned out...

I've done this before... It's pretty hilarious to watch Tenpenny fly.

[Lord Mountbatten Reborn]

I remember on the final assault in the main story, there was me and the Lyon's Pride, in the wake of Liberty Prime, travelling through a mass of cars. Now, interestingly enough, the Pride doesn't normally venture out of the ol' Pentagon Fortress at this part when I play the game, only Sarah Lyons. Well this time, they had done, and I was busy making sure they'd live.

Well, a stray missile launcher shot from an Enclave goon missed Liberty Prime and headed towards our graveyard of cars. I quickly ran and jumped for safety. There was a massive explosion in which both my player character's legs were crippled. I was notified of Sarah Lyons's being knocked unconscious. I turned around and found that there was no trace of the Lyon's Pride, who had been right behind me, excepting Sarah. There wasn't even any bits of flesh, no discarded weapons, nothing. They had simply vanished.

To this day, I never did find out what became of the Pride. They were nowhere to be found back at the Pentagon/Citadel when playing Broken Steel. It's the biggest unsolved mystery I've come across in a game.

Gaaaaary....

 

[Towels]

The first time I played the game, my girlfriend was watching me escape the Vault. When Anita was amazed that I opened the vault, I ask her to come with me. She declined, but told me to be careful. Then Harkness and that other guard rush in to attack me. I fled out the Vault's door, and they shut it on me. As I watch the door close I helplessly witness them beating Anita unconscious. So I reloaded my last save point, made sure I beat Harkness and his partner up so Anita could go back inside safely. My girl said it was sweet of me to alter time like that.

 

[black orchid1]

start the game(skip a hour) finish the intro, walk out of the vault(armed only with a batton and the basic jumpsuit), turned to look at megaton (autosave) see a death claw killing a few raiders raiders at the bottom of the first hill the death claw turned and ran at me, while the raiders start shooting at me.
i died to cut the story short, but then when i hit reload to last checkpoint he took me straight to the beggining of the fight and no matter what i always died, so i had to restart the game again and replay the intro

Moira, who I generally liked because I figured she was on Jet and would offer me some later, sent me off to the mini mart. Now I entered with bsic gear, a few pistols, a baseball bat, and a combat shotgun I had dug up, I made my way through killing raiders and completing the quest, enjoying my day, when I head to the back room. Aside from the familiar robot I had failed to hack out things were all good, I was laughing It up eating and looting. Then I start hearing alarms ... and voices on the other side of the door ...

Let's say a gun fight right out of a John Wu movie ensued as I ducked around the aisles fighting off the gas masked bastards, barely escaped with my life.
