The One-Armed Bandit special encounter.

A one armed man carrying a sawn-off double barreled shotgun takes you by surprise demanding that you fork over some goods. Upon trying to give him something he has trouble handling both the goods and the gun and so asks you to hold his gun for a moment while he puts the goods in his stash, the rest is up to you and you are given a moment or two to end this confrontation with violence, if so you get a generic sawn-off shotgun, some raggy clothing and a measley amount of caps. If you decide to be merciful, he'll ask for his weapon back, thank you and be on his way and you'll gain karma.

You only give him 50 or so caps not ALL YOUR GOOD STUFF, jeez it's about funny people.

so you lose all your stuff for good carma

Thats a EPIC FAIL :rofl:

No.

I suppose I could have clarified but you only give the guy maybe 50 or so caps... it's supoosed to be about funny not losing all your [censored] needlessly.

In Fo3 if you killed someone like that you would get Good Karma anyway...I could use the shells he had.

A guy runs up to you and tells you he found a stash of caps but he can't get to it without your help. It becomes a mini-sidequest and you help him get to the loot. Once you get there he tries to kill you and you can either kill him, reason with him (depending on speech) or threaten him into backing down (depending on speech, again). The cool thing is that you can't get to this stash unless you experience this random encounter, he opens up a door that can't be opened without his key.

some random encounters are reallly good, funny and memorable, i wish there are alot in new vegas.

This is a hilarious idea, plus I never saw a (living) one armed anything in FO3 so yah that'd be great.

Can you imagine only having one arm? Can you imagine having only one arm in the wasteland? Can you imagine only having one arm in the wasteland and being dirty and starving and being that inept at banditry?

It would be a pitiful thing to behold. Shooting him or her down would be too easy as to offer only the basest and most minimal of rewards (though some people would delight in the act), staying your hand would be the mark of good karma'd man.

Besides, I don't think I mentioned anything about any shells, just being able to end the confrontation with violence. Think about it.

i want to see a special encounter involving a goul and a human that r in love

something like a mutant talking dog that sells equipment

i want a special encounter were you find a wounded enclave officer at a crashed verti bird wreckage.

A dirty, beaten up, old chevy van pulls up next to you. A filthy man wearing a stained and ripped wife beater calls out the window and asks if you can help him find his puppy.

Why dose that sound like that actually made a movie about this?

yea, while i dont want the enclave as an actual faction, i don hope theat they mak minor appearances like a bunch of enclave reffugees, an ex enclave companion, stuff like that. the crashed vertibird id a really cool idea tho.

A cowboy strolling down the middle of a decrepit highway who asks to bum some smokes off of you and then gives you a tip about a cache of weapons, or a secret watering hole, or a big score of caps buried in the desert, and then walks away into the distance. But then he shows up again later and is being chased by a bunch of geckos, or a super mutant, and if you save his hide he gives you more tips, and he keeps popping up out in the wastes until like the fifth time he tells you where the best power armor in the game is, and talking to him was the only way to get to it.

althoe yes, we don't want them as a major faction, it would be funny to find them running a casino, or maybe some enclave deserters lol.

I'd like a run in with a failed ghoul lounge singer. He asks you to listen to him sing a song. You can accept or decline. (No karma change.) If you accept he begins to sing. During his singing you can choose to put a bullet/golf club/fist/whatever through his head. Doing this nets you bad karma. Hearing him through nets you good karma. He'll ask if you like it which leads you to compliment him or make fun of him. Obvious good or bad choices.

I don't know, the idea of a washed up ghoul lounge singer entertains me.

ahh, you walk into a casino's kitchen and a chef runs up to you exclaining, you eat deathclaw samwich!
he hold up to you a sandwich made of some pale brownish looking fleshy meat.
do you eat it yes or no?

Eat it. How else am I gonna know if it tastes good?

and you discover the bun is made of human skin and brains.
in the kitchen you find many diced up humans as well as a half mutilated deathclaw.

Welp, slap me with some bad karma and give me more sandwiches.

with some peoples characters, that would appeal to them MORE :foodndrink:

Oh btw this was very similar to a random encounter I came upon recently in FO3 for PS3 (game of the year addition), where a poor guy named Max (I think) tries to rob you with an empty sawn-off. You can either threaten him to backoff using a speech check, give him a few caps to increase probability of speech check succeeding (but not all of your caps), or shoot him.. I chose a more inventive approach. I simply told him to run away cuz I'm a badass MOFO, then when he turned his back to me i zapped him with the mesmetron and sold him to the kind people at paradise falls, who would ensure that he was given a "home". :angel:

I'd like to see two men on top of a shack hitting golf balls at a group of ghouls and calling out celebrity names when the ghouls is hit. (Dawn of the Dead reference)
