Personally, my favorite pass-time on fallout is collecting unique weapons and armour, without the presence of unique items fallout would admittedly be a lot less interesting to me, though still probably be my number one game!

so what's your favorite thing to do when you aren't busy doing quests?

Hog killing time! I usually go hunting around with cass getting rid of powder Gangers, Jackal gang members etc. Or I'll spend my time roaming the big empty.

Other than that, I'll be shooting drinks and fighting in the thorn...Not just fighting of course

I have a problem hoarding and buying as much 5.56 mm Armor Piercing rounds lol I'm a big fan of the Marksman Carbine rifles, so its hard for me to pass up spending caps on AP rounds.

Since all of my characters have obsessively collected the parts for WRKs, apparently that's my favorite Fallout pass-time.

Lately I've been branching out into collecting empty bottles.

When I used to play Morrowind a lot, I had Jac's "Passing the Time" mod. That allowed one to read any of the many readable books that were available, and time would actually pass while I was reading. I miss that a lot.... It was a great way to kill of a few hours of darkness when the only other option was sleeping or waiting.

Well, I'm not much for collecting things in FONV because there is really not so much to collect that is actually different other than unique weapons, and while hunting is okay, that seems really to be just part of the game, rather than an extracurricular activity.

I guess one of my favorite pastimes in FONV is playing "kick can" with empty oil drums, particularly in the long Repconn tunnel that leads from the "basemant" to the launch site. It would be fun if there were more empty barrels outside so I could play from say Goodsprings to Novac....

1) Rig Samson Rock Crushing Plant with mines.

2) Jump into a cart at the top of one of the towers.

3) Get the AMR out and wait for Legion Assassins.

4) Suddenly you're playing tower defense!
