What is your favourite memory that youve had while playing Fallout?

My favourite memory was way back on 2008, when I was a little 12 year old.

This was my first Fallout game.

I had just escaped the terrifying creature, known as molerats today....
I see a crazy creature (death claw) chasing me, do I run up to a tent, find a cool weapon (laser pistol) and kill him - I was so happy!
Ten minutes later a BOOM! From the sky, and down comes the firelance!

Exploring metros were my favorite memory, and still are.

However getting lost in them turns into a nightmare.

I love metro exploring!

I know it's completely messed up but blowing up Megaton and finding Moira still alive and well

In the Fallout world, where mutilation is considered 'fun' by a select few, that's not not messed up at all!

There are too many to choose from

Two stick out for me -

- The entire Following in His Footsteps quest. Its my favourite quest, it was the first time I had ventured into the metro tunnels, and was the first time I had seen a ghoul. Both of which were awesome. And culminating in the giant battle at GNR just topped it all off. I love that quest so much.

- Getting my first follower. I think it was Charon. I agonised for a week over whether to get him the good way, or the evil way. I'm not happy with my choice, but having a follower just made the game so much more awesome.

Definitely the first few minutes after I left the vault. I remember walking up the hill towards Megaton and seeing a hunter chasing after another guy, walking up a hill and seeing the gutted ruins of DC, and turning on my radio and barely hearing Three Dog preaching through the static about raiders decapitating people and him being "your voice in the darkness, or at least the radiation". I knew I was in for a hell of a ride after that kind of a introduction to the game.

-Entering Raven Rock and meeting Eden for the first time.

-Nearly [censored]ting myself while exploring a dark metro and hearing the first screeches of feral ghouls.

-Heading into DC for the first time after hearing about how to stay away from it from all the NPC's.

-Coming straight out of the vault and then heading for Springvale, entering the front entrance of the elementary school, seeing the mutilated bodies and then NOPE-ing the hell out of there.

Lmao :L i always head in there, shoot the Quantum , gather it, THEN BAIL!

Are you me or something? Because that's pretty much exactly what I would've said. I think I know that ghoul metro you're talking about, and did it ever scare the crap out of me. I'd also add leaving the Vault and seeing the Wasteland for the first time.

If I am, doesn't that mean there can be only one?


I honestly can't remember which Metro it was. All I know was whichever metro that was the first that I went into had ghouls (my guess is that it was either Farragut or Warrington). Those ghouls shrieks were absolutely terrifying. I stayed away from metros for awhile after that.

I'd also forgot my experience with Dunwich. I went into that place on Halloween night (I distinctly remember coming back from a Halloween party and deciding to hit some Fallout before bed), then of course I stumble upon Dunwich having no idea what in the hell it is and just thinking it was a good place to find some loot.

Still ranks as one of the freakiest experiences I've had with games (keeping in mind I'm not one for horror games). Would not recommend going through it in the dark.

That freaky cannibal family in that little town. I think it's Anndale. All that strange meat in the basemants. First time round it was freaky times. Sawn off shotgun made it all better.

My first playthrough trying to find GNR for the first time. For some reason I thought I had to follow the triangles on my map which led me down through Greyditch. Ended up doing Those! at far too low a level. Made sure I saved it after killing each of the Ant guards it was such an accomplishment.
The path I continued to follow led me past Hubris Comics and a bunch of other places I can't remember now. I remember cruising through the metro tunnels encountering my first ghouls, trying to find my way through DB above ground and finally giving up on that.
By the time I made it to GNR I felt like I had really accomplished something. Now I know the quick ways to get there but that first attempt to find the place will always stick with me. This was my first FO game and I really got into all the details in the gameworld, was great fun

LOL I found all sorts of places around GNR but never actually made it to the building. This was so frustrating and the metro tunnels were so confusing. Then I finally used my LOCAL map and I had no problem getting there.

I think one of my favorite memories includes meeting Three Dog! He's such a vibrant character and I admire how he continues to "fight the good fight"!

The first moments in Vault 101, when you interact with Dad, are such sweet memories as well. Yea, I'm a Daddy's Girl

Oh yea, stepping out of Vault 101 and laying eyes on the wastes before me, that's definitely a memorable experience. I couldn't wait to explore it all... then a feral dog attacked me and my .10mm was out of bullets and all I had was a baseball bat and I wished to be back in the safety of the vault... LOLOL I headed east out of the vault and found a broken down truck with ammo AND a Mr. Gutsy, who shot lasers at me and I beat him down with my baseball bat, it took a while and I almost died, well I did die once, so I learned to save my game often. But I finally beat him down and was now the proud owner of a mostly damaged Assault Rifle and I looted a bunch of Ammo. Then I went further east, found a broken barn and a chinese assault rifle. Then I realized I was completely lost and tried to find Springvale... instead I came across Arefu. Yea, I was way out there. LOL

I only realized on my 2nd character how close Megaton is actually to Vault 101 LOL

Ghouls, OMG don't get me started on those creatures. Well, my first character had a negative reaction to Gob, to say the least hahahaha I called him a Zombie Freak! But imagine my "pants crapping fear" when I met a FERAL one for the first time. I hate zombies... I hate the Dunwich Building and OMFG I hate Point Lookout! That's where I met a Ghoul REAVER for the first time...

Sorry, got carried away. This whole game is just so amazing and it sparks my imagination like no other!

I think my favorite memory is the first time I left the vault in FO3. The bright light of the sun causing your vision to blur, then it slowly clears and you get your first proper look at the wasteland. There are very few moments in videogames that I would describe as breathtaking and that is one of them.

Couldn't have said it any better!

I was standing on the sidelines at DuPont Circle, just watching, when my mod companion Bittercup, who had been lost for five minutes, appeared and wiped out the entire assortment of bad guys with her Vengeance Gatling Laser. Cars and all. About a minute worth of stuff on fraps. Wow!

In Fallout 3, listening to Three Dog for the first time.

All time favourite fallout memory: Fallout 1 intro, because it was my start to the fallout universe.

bro that happened to me to. i ended up going through a [censored]load of mutants with a pistol, and doing [censored]load of quests and killing [censored]load of raiders. in the end (IDK how) i got stuck in a metro tunnel close to tenpenny tower with a shotgun and loads of ghouls. and bear that in mind I DONT USE THAT STUPID VATS.

You can never get tired of hearing Three Dog's voice!

Two instances..

First time i went near by DC just across the fire ant town. IN bright day light i saw 2 ghouls run up kill a talon company merc and then run away.. I did not go back to that place for 1 -2 weeks...


First time i played i did not know about fast travel and i ended up getting lost in DC trying to find my way to megaton... for 3 hours i went inside DC travelling from one place to another killing mutants/using stimpaks killing raiders. My stims ran out and started eating all the food... Then later on i started being desperate and drinking water crippled..loosing ammo.. Finally after 3 hours with 2 legs crippled i reached megaton. That was the most memorable,most survival based and most intense gaming session i had

Haha! Iove hearing all these stories.... Reminds me of being a scared lil 12 year old back in 2008

Ill take this post as a success then?
