I would have to say the best moment in Fallout 3 for me was when I had just come out of the old power plant where you get Fisto, well when I came out I almost shat myself because not 30 feet away was a death claw. Well i am quickly getting out the dart gun to slow this hulking lizard thing down when just as i equip it the death dlaw shoots directly up into the air and disappears. I laughed my ass off about that for a few minutes.
I just remembered, once when bored I spawned 5 behemoths in front of me just to see if I could kill them, with Fawkes, Dogmeat and Cross as companions. I killed 4 of them without too much difficulty and then somehow managed to lose the fifth. It's still somewhere running round the wasteland causing havoc.
One time I left the place you get the lucky shades and I turned to the left, only to see a group of Talon Company Mercs spawn next to me, and in the background I saw two deathclaws spawn and attack a sentry bot.
Another Time I was fighting a Super Mutant Overlord, I threw a grenade at his feet, and he glitched into the air, I had to fight it while it was airborne, it was terrifying.
The other story I have is after my first character finally defeated The Enclave and destroyed their base, he went back to Megaton, went into his house and went to sleep. The End.

I just took over mothership zeta without a hitch. Everyone lived. No deaths and now I had a base to sleep in. I went back down to earth and felt like I could take anyone. I was going to go to point lookout, but I wanted to sell the stuff I found at MZ first. So I went to my megaton house and went to grab some more stuff form my locker. Then I saw it. That is to say I saw nothing. Because every item I kept in that looker was gone. Let me repeat. EVERY RARE ITEM, EVERY STIMPACK, ALL MY MONEY WAS IN THAT LOCKER! And that's when I stopped playing.
On one of my (evil) runs through the game I went out of my way to kill anyone and everyone I could find. I wiped out nearly every settlement, leaving only Rivet City and Little Lamplight untouched. I even killed everybody in GNR studios, including Three Dog (combat shotgun point-blank in the face) Every trader, scavenger, wastelander and caravan leader I came across I traded with them, repaired all weapons possible, then killed them and took all their loot.
On a different, less evil, run through the game I was heading towards the Republic of Dave at a fairly high level (15 or so) and running low on stimpacks and ammo when ran into to ten Yao Guai's in a row.

You used the locker too?Timzilla said:
Oddly, every single person I know kept all their stuff in the same locker...
One I can remember is walking along the riverside towards Rivet City, I came across a little Raider group in a hide-out.
With no more than 20 skill in Big Guns I pulled out my Fat Man, aimed straight up in the air and fired.
The Mini-nuke landed perfectly inside the walls of this hideout, killing everyone inside (about 60xp's worth of kills)
There was stuff all over the place when I went in to check it out adterwards.

Aha this week my cousin and I made a smart gentlemen named; Archibald Esq. IV.LordCuthberton said:
He reminded me of you.
Reminds me of my first playthrough. Imagine the feeling: I had just been given my very own, shiny, Pip-Boy 3000! Yes! THE best birthday present any child living in a cramped old bunker beneath a nuked-out wasteland could possibly hope for! Forget the guests, I was going to press buttons!Jimmybobjr said:
As everybody I knew watched me fiddle around with my new toy, I discovered something that was apparently the inventory screen. It had one entry, representing my one possession: A Vault 101 Jumpsuit, size Child. I decided to see if I could get some more detailed info on it, so I highlighted it and pressed a likely-looking button. That was the button I later (In fact, immediately afterwards) came to know as the "Drop" - button.
Yeah. I managed to ACCIDENTALLY disrobe myself at my birthday party!
Nobody reacted, so I just left the jumpsuit where it was and played it cool.
Another story that comes to mind, is the Fire Ants mission. You know, where you clear out a bunch of fire-breathing ants from a series of subway tunnels.
It was one of the first quests I started, and I was NOT having fun. The blasted ants kept roasting me to perfection, rapidly burning through my dwindling supply of Stimpaks. And each ant seemed to require a SHITLOAD of ammo before I could move on to get roasted by the NEXT ant.
About halfway down the labyrinth, I finally realized what I had been doing wrong: I was aiming primarily at the ants' antennae. I should of course be shooting them in the HEAD - like I do with ANYTHING ELSE that is trying to kill me!
Why had I not thought of this from the get-go? Why, because of a certain helpful hint from the quest-giver, snotty brat Bryan Wilks! Damage to the antennae makes the ants attack everything they see, rather than just me. Which MIGHT have been SLIGHTLY useful if I hadn't been fighting the ants one on one in narrow corridors, where any frenzied ant, in most cases, has nothing BUT me to attack anyway!
I decided right then to take a break from the mission, so I returned to the surface and found something else to do. The pleasure of NOT fumbling about in fire ant - infested tunnels soon overwhelmed me, and I gave that mission a LONG rest.
I mean REALLY long.
I would sometimes think to myself, "I should probably get that ant thing over with." But there was ALWAYS something more interesting to do, like exploring the Downtown area, messing with the ballot box at the Republic of Dave, trying to find Underworld, exploring Underworld, shooting Raiders, exploring Rivet City, complete the Main Quest, grind all the way to the level cap, stare at the sky...
I'm pretty sure I STILL haven't finished that mission. Oh, but I haven't forgotten about Bryan Wilks. In fact, every time I'm nearby, I always stop by that coffin-sized Preservation Shelter where I know Bryan is waiting for the ants to be wiped out. I'll just hang around outside it for a while, listening to his little comments.
And maybe fire a few rounds at the Shelter while shouting, "So I should aim for the antennae, should I? HAVE A NICE LIFE IN THE TIN CAN, KIDDO! BWAHAHAHAAAA!!"
I know. That's actually the only reason I ever CONSIDER finishing the mission. I think it's probably more unpleasant for him to stay where he is, though. Besides: You get a load of Negative Karma if you sell him, but there is NO penalty for letting him rot in the tin can!MaxPowers666 said:
I was walking around the wasteland, bored just killing time. Stumbled across a group of raiders holed up in a little house thing who started attacking me and thought, "lets have some fun" went to my inventory, took off my armour armed myself with FISTO and killed them all. Best of all, the last guy got his head punched clean off in VATS, it flew across the room and it landed in a dustbin.
I also killed a Deathclaw with a teddy fired out of the Rock-it launcher, which looked pretty funny/awesome.

Mine would have to be at the very end, I tried to choose Fawkes who although he could easily just go in there and everyone would be fine, he said; "I cannot stand in the way of your destiny." So, I put on my T51-b, and popped some Rad-X. 85% Rad resistance, and when I got in there, I was only getting maybe 2 rads per second. But, apparently I still died from Rad Poisoning. To which I responded; "Fuggen Weak."
playing through it once on pc without attaching it to my gamertag, then losing the save, currently trying to play it through again, but im to scared to do much in it, i hate supermutants
I killed an Enclave Soldier. However, I was bored and he had annoyed me.
SO.
I stripped him of his weapons and armour, and dragged his headless corpse for literally miles through the Wasteland, in search of a car. I fought off many a curious Raider and creature to protect that headless body, when I finally found the desired automobile.
I dragged the corpse onto the bonnet.
And threw a Nuka-Grenade at it.
Moments later, I didn't have one Enclave Soldier but HUNDREDS! I call that efficiency
