Yeah, found out 9mm pistol was one hit kill on powder gangers, kept 2 above 90% condition, upgraded both, get to vegas without running into much, then run into a fiend. Not so useful after all.

Luring Caesar, and his guards out of there tent into my C4 trap only find out 14 piles of C4 may have been a bit much... (it was my first time >.>)
None of there body parts fell close enough to loot, but I got a half hours worth of crippled limbs messages in my upper left screen >:) .

Entering Deathwind Cavern only to be mauled instantly by 3 Deathclaws.

Watching Boone randomly run into a group of Cazadores, survive, then die from poison after I used a stimpack on him.

Not being able to find Caesar after I blew up everyone in the tent with C-4... :D

Well not so funny to my character and me personally, but I imagine the laugh Doc mitchell and all the folks of Goodsprings had behind my back.. After the game intro the good Doc tasked me with a simple fetch a flower quest so not 2 minutes of actual playing the game heading up to the cemetary I was set upon by a random Powder ganger flinging dynamite at me for no good reason and ended up with a broken arm and leg before I luckily brought him down. (and i do mean luckily with a broken arm your aim goes to crap). This pretty much set my mood on powder gangers the whole game even if it was a bug.... As going back to the not even 5 minutes after being sent out for a flower empty handed with broken limbs to the guy who just sent you out.. was nearly to much to bare heh.

I blow up a fiend in the Vault 3 hallway. The head flies down the hallway. I walk down it, and then I hear 'do You like the sight of your own blood?' I look around, and can;t find anyone. I look down, and the Fiend head is smiling at me and talking.

While wandering around with Veronica and ED-E, I came across a 'lone' deathclaw. Now, having experienced them before in this game, I was thinking 'oh [censored]', and then Ronnie goes and punches the things head right off. Which made me think. "Wow, maybe this won't be so bad...'

The the 'lone' deathclaw's 8 buddies came running around the building and turned us all into minced bits before I could even get past 'OH SHIIII'

heh, i was clearing out a specific deathclaw enriched land and decided to cram myself onto one of the cranes. i thought that the deathclaws were too gigantic and ubersome to fit on those, and i was right. turns out, you can easily complete that quest at a low level with a good enough sneak to get to the top of one of those cranes. snipe everything. i run away with the loot.

ps: its also alot of fun watching those helpless deathclaws run around. having no clue how to kill me.

Surviving against swarms of Cazadores, packs of Deathclaws, squads of Fiends/Vipers/Jackals/Legion, and the horrors of the Vaults...only to be two-shotted by a pair of Nightstalkers.

WTF...:
Scrapyard dogs and two mole rats falling from the sky when you exit the back door of Helios one.
EVERYONE hostile toward me regardless of actions or apparel (this was third Playthrough and not due to choices or apparel) until I killed Benny at the tops.
Alpha male deathclaw spawned in the center crane of quarry junction...just shot him while he was caught in it's cage.
Lonesome drifter addressing me as a woman when I was playing as a man.
Arcane gunner following me during final battle at hoover dam bu defusing to fight or open companion wheel (had to finish the game with two guns).
Cass attacking me any time I try to talk to her in party.
..just a few things I had.

I ran into the deathclaw quarry after killing the baby deathclaw in the opening. Figured hey he was easy the rest will be the same right? Yeah, no. Ran in killed one with my silenced sniper rifle, shot another and pulled 5 with him. I got my face wrecked

Another one was when i ran north of goodsprings. Saw a few red dots ahead so i shot some dynamite. Crippled the Cazadores wings and ran like hell. Was so scared i didn't notice the Giant radscorpions in front of me and died.

Placed C4s in Gloria Van Graff, Jean-Baptiste Cutting, and 4 thugs (1 C4 for 2 thugs) and I did not expect everyone to die, but I find that everyone died except the naked thug and Mr. (forgot name) said, "You guys are maniacs!" ROTGLMAO!

the explosives are drastically underpowered I think. I keep trying to use the grenade rifle, and getting direct hits on Omerta thugs (with little if any armor or DT) took multiple shots to kill. wtf? a 40mm grenade should be 1-shot kill unless maybe its like a super robot or a BoS guy in full power armor.

It's directly related to your skill points; if you have a low explosive points they won't be effective. You can test it out with magazines.

I find it funny how the animation cut scene for throwing an explosive may show it yards away but It may or may bot do damage.

I know it has to do with skill points, but does it really make sense to take off a significant amount of damage because I'm not super adept at using explosives? if I can shoot it and it hits someone and it explodes, I don't think I should be penalized for not investing a bunch of points into it. maybe an accuracy penalty, maybe increased risk of jams, i dont know, but i dont think taking off large amounts of damage is the answer.

I have never used a frag grenade or any sort of high explosive, but I guarantee that if I threw a frag or shot an RPG, it would blow something up just the same and cause the same amount of damage.

I don't like the explosives anywYs be size even when I skilled up in them they would still hurt friendlies and draw aggro or hurt my companions. The general range of all weapone (especially in vats) is too limited as even with all the right perks you still are limited to mid fans accuracy.

I kinda like the prosttute standing in the locked room upstairs at the Gomorrah. Talk to her and get informed she's dead. Then she wanders out into the hall for awhile.
