In the Broken Steel DLC I ended up joining that gang of raiders who spend their time robbing water from caravans. I would have just killed the lot of them on sight, if it weren't for the old woman who's place they were all camped out at. But I didn't want the old lady getting hurt, so I signed up. They even gave me a suit of armour to wear, which I put on to humour them. It was just like being in the Tunnel Snakes all over.
I was wondering how I could take them all out with the old lady hanging around, when I noticed an enemy on my radar close by. Again, thinking only of the old lady's safety I went off to check it out. It was one Enclave soldier - and a gunfight ensues with bullets and plasma blasts getting exchanged down this alleyway. This is the good bit: Although I'd only signed up like 5 minutes before, the entire gang all come running along and pitch in to help out the newbie. One of them even ran around the building to outflank the soldier. I was quite touched by their loyalty, really. But not enough to stay in the fight, with me standing back to watch the battle from a safe distance. They turned out to be a bunch of lame-oes because the Enclave guy killed the whole lot of them. I didn't have to lift a finger - other than to finish off the almost dead Enclave guy and loot a bunch of corpses. Ha!
I love it when your enemies all eliminate each other. Or you meet the non-Brotherhood-of-Steel Outcasts and arrange for them to fight some awful monster like an albino scorpion. That in my mind is a far more important thing for them to be doing than chasing after ancient technology and being rude to wholesome wastelanders like myself.

I had a similar incident , its somewhere around tenpenny towers there is a small path leading to a top of a ledge/hill. Its a very narrow route below i saw 4-5 outcasts and just above on the top buncha raiders like 19 of them... attacked the raiders and ran away down the narrow path where the outcasts where patrolling, after that a whole lotta looting and incumcumbered(you know what i mean)

Haha yes i love that too. I used to endlessly watch outcasts fight raiders at one of their HQ.

spoiler alert!



3 slavers, a caravan, raiders, some brotherhood outcasts, and some slaves had a battle. thankfully i was hiding and saw a great show. i must have been at some sort of crossroad where everything... crosses, at rush hour too. i think i was somewhere near big town. i dunno for sure.

I love watching dummies fight each other.

I think I had a real case of dummies fighting each other. I went to Point Lookout a bit too early (level 12 or so) and ran smack into a Feral Ghoul Reaver. Oh, CRAP! :ahhh: I ran from the thing, going through nearly all of my stimpacks (damn thing kept hitting me in the back with claws and radbombs), then led it into a group of swampies. When they engaged the reaver, I hit a Stealthboy and patched myself up while I watched the fun. Damn thing ended up killing all of them. Luckily, I had injured it beforehand and the swampies didn't exactly go down easily - the reaver was down to something like three health bars. A grenade or three and my reaver problem was over. Thanks, guys! Better you than me! :wave:

My favorite was where three deathclaws engaged a group of outcasts near the ruins of that retirement home. Things got better as a group of raiders jumped into the fray. What a show!

I still find the Evergreen Mills raider against Behemoth fight to be one of the best.

I mean, 50+ raiders with 10 millis and one Behemoth... And the Behemoth usually win.

I usually step in and help the friendly side (Outcasts are technically friendlies, since they don't shoot at me on sight). Or, if they're both unfriendlies, I step in and help the one who's losing. The idea is for them to eliminate each other, or at least come close.

usually!?!? :wacko:

My favorite example of this phenomenon: Was looking through my sniper scope at a human enemy (who had amazing long-range accuracy) in the distance. I'm getting hurt, but slowly lining up my shot ... and then, suddenly, a yao guai enters from the right side of my scope and leaps on the guy. Totally mauled the poor bastard. At least he would've had a quick death if I'd gotten my shot off.

Playing with MMM mod i ended up fighting 12 raiders on level 8, ran down the cliff while the raiders where continuously chasing me, ended up with an outcast patrol of 5 guyz and 1 robot. Hit the stealth thingy and saw them fight , Its very entertaining to see 18 guyz duke it out with lazers and gun fire from everywhere to everywhere. In the end there where 2 outcasts and a heavily damaged robot who got mauled by a death claw leaving just 1 outcast left, kinda felt sorry for him and left him alone.

What's the MMM mod?

Martigen's mutant mod , increased spawns and new creatures lets just say the wasteland is 5 time as more populated. Ever looked through a scope and ended up seeing 15+ talon company with RPG and 7.62mm FN FAL assault rifles and you thought "its better i look at them through this scope only"

I was running away from TWO deathclaws, as one hit me down a cliff into a pack of raiders......

and then talon compony came in killed them and then the outcast killed them and the enclave killed them
