I'm just curious how people kill time.

For me, I like to rearrange my home, go out in the wasteland naked and collect as much as I can to add to my vast collection of apocalyptic goodies. Just recently I made a sniper character and took shelter in the Sniper Shack, needless to say I made it feel like home.. sort of, I let jitters and fluffy out of their cage only to find them abusing me :[ So I beat their little heads in with a bat, and so my house didnt look messy, I stuffed their bodies back into the cage.

:fallout:

Just explore random places, really, with my team. Nothing really creative, but you will come across some wonderful things and all kinds of random encounters. I go into locations that aren't really anything important in comparison to some places on the map, because you never know what you'll find.

And I agree with you: the Sniper Shack is one of the best homes in the game; it's got everything you need.

Lately I've been killing time by running around the wasteland on very hard difficulty with just my BB Gun and fists and I shoot the gun out of my enemy's hands and try to fist fight them.

Uhhhh.... On 360? Go into the wasteland with limited gear, like rivet city security armor, police cap, assault rifle with 300 shots, a combat knife, and 10 stimpacks on very hard. It's really cool deuling an albino radscorpion with a combat knife, you gotta attack their face and they like back away slowly and repeat util they die. OH! Also, you can not fast travel and put the difficulty on very hard.

The battle weary Lone Wanderer wanders the wasteland, immersed in the silence and the isolation as the dust gusts across the arid plains, looking for another reason to go one with life's endless and futile struggle; and wondering at the decayed remains of a lost and once great civilisation.

Blow stuff up with mini nukes! :mohawk:

my trading runs always take up lots of time and I always bring my doggie since he's always cooped up in the house......

Looking for frozen iguanas at night to release in town, collecting toys to display in my home, cooking, reverse pickpocketing new clothes onto people, training slaves (slave Dave died- oh well) and other fun stuff like that.

Recently I embarked on quiet a tedious, but satisfying quest. Converting all the members of the Brotherhood of Steel into Enclave.

First, I go around collecting Enclave Armor off of dead soldiers, then repairing it so they have more DR than BoS Power Armor. I then reverse pickpocket it onto an unsuspecting BoS member, who unconsciously decided to put it on.

I've just started with the Citadel. This is a very long, and boring process, I have to and kill Enclave, bring back their Armor, which I can only bring a maximum of 5 or 6 at a time, then risk detection when reverse pick-pocketing, which if gone wrong would result in reloading a save and trying again.. Also, I don't think I have to mention how many members of the BoS there are in the Citadel, it's safe to say, atleast 30.

In the end it's all worth it. It's worth while doing on 360 because of the hardship involved, on PC Im sure there's some fancy mod or whatever that can make it all happen with the blink of an eye.

After Im done with the Citadel, I'll probably go for the entire Wasteland.. If Im up to it, maybe even everyone in The Pitt.

Oh my GOD, H-man. +internets for dedication to duty, but you're still goin' down XDDD
Won't that take forever??!!!

I like to fill in any empty location triangle I see X3 And when that's done, I amass a collection of Deathclaw hands, and because I can't take the heads, Enclave helmets. I feel like a proper hunter. XD

:clap: Have a :cookie: for your tireless efforts! The furthest I ever got with messing with the Brotherhood of Steel was stealing Lyon's Prides' armor and helmets and replacing all of their weapons with Rolling Pins. I was heartbroken when I arrived for the last mission only to find their normal gear had been automagically readded to them all.

Modding.

Got tired of inhabitants in Arefu, etc. dying from spawned critters. Saved up armor, weapons, stims and ammo. Raised stealth to around 75. Planted on inhabitants. PRESTO. Now they don't die. On the four main traders, put power armor, several stims, and maxed weapons with plenty of ammo. Guards too. Had to use Stealthboys sometimes. Worth it since those are the best repair guys in the game. Setting up frag mine ambushes in places like Kaelyn's B&B (house only, Traders go under the bridge). Figuring out the traders route, then tagging along as an escort (remember FO2?).

Finding and killing enclave soldiers and then selling off all their loot to make caps.

Random scavenging.

I have days when I play fallout where I just decide to grab a weapon or two, a set of armor, and just explore. Good fun.

Edit: Grammar.

I am still new to FO3 so my first real character is a sneaky little gun slinger with the night owl perk, so i work alot in the pistol class at night. I do a few things depends on how much ammo i have for either weapons, the Blackhawk, or the silenced 10mm, as they seem to be the strongest weapons i have considering i have the gunslinger perk. I have taken to hunting deathclaws around old orney. Nothing more satisfing than slapping thier heads around with a .44 magnum. Creep in at night, staying at range and then waiting for that perfect moment when they stop moving, and i can line up a shot to just under thier jaw. Bang they drop like a bag of potatoes, it is pretty sweet, plus at 34 points each at level 16 they seem to be the most XP for the effort.

I also like to creep around in the metro tunnels ganking the feral ghouls with the silenced pistol. 10mm rounds seem to be the most common and with a max sneak i can darn near walk right up to them and put the pistol right in thier mouths before they know i am there. Pfft Pfft, gotta do the double tap just in case the first round is a "stat" miss. Gotta love how sometimes i can just sit there popping them in the face with impunity as they can not seem to locate me until it is too late.

For the most part i really like the game, i still have a problem with the "stat" misses even with small guns at 100, but it does add some flavor, a bit of thrill as you have to wonder if that perfect shot is really going to do the job or are you just about to get bent over and dry humped because the stats say you are due for a few misses.

Nice

My reverse pickpocketing is usually limited to 3dog early game to get his head gear. In all my playthroughs I finally lost a trader (or actually notcied there were some missing), so I will be looking to outfit them similarly to what others have suggested in future.

My spare time is often used scavenging, collecting parts and then making custon weopons in bulk. Once I have a few it's off to the traders to buy them out of all their amo (especially mini nukes at flak and shraps). If I have a lot fission batteries then I may go for a moonshine run in point lookout and buy the trader there out of lever action riffles for repairs/parts. I also like to use big guns and explosives late game, more for entertainment value, especially at night.... I think nuka grenades and car parks are particularly good fun more so if you can lure some targets into them before hand!

Most definitely exploring. The goal is to find ALL the locations marked & unmarked. Finish ALL the quests (still only playing FO3 original). This is my second playthrough, and I'm concentrating on finding everything. That in and of itself could take another month or 2 of playing.

in my part im done with exploring and role playing, so its hunting deathclaws and enclave soldiers.

A noble pastime...I like it.

I enjoy fist fighting with deathclaws

I just walk around the Capital Wasteland..

Ghoul hunting in the Metro is always fun..

as is killing Raiders..

I kill Mutants in the DC ruins or visit The Pitt (My fav F3 DLC)

Almost all Raiders in the game have been outfitted with Enclave armor.... for that extended battle action. I've also decided to re-create my previous big battle at the Super Duper Parking Lot, by making one Enclave force, and one Raider force, even if it only lasts for about 7 days. Also, dominoes at night with pulse nades is pretty.

I spend my time trying to forget about Fallout 3.
