Like the title says, what moments or sights made you struck with awe?

For me, it'd have to be the view of New Vegas at night, all those lights in the distance are so beautiful.

Another one for me is

When

Seeing New Vegas from the cemetery's hill at night.

Here I thought I was the only one to appreciate the subtle things in the game. I agree, at night and at about 10 AM it's a beautiful overlook. I wonder if Vegas looks that beautiful from afar in reality. :cryvaultboy:

Yeah its the best thing I remember, first thing I saw to basically after coming home from the midnight release and staying up til 5 in the morning absolutely hooked.

Vegas in real life is pretty cool, but from far away, the Strip, is kinda drowned in a ocean of lights. But the Strip is pretty cool up close!

I have to say I was also inspired by

'Close your eyes now, and imagine what joy awaits you in the next life - the afterlife. Can you see them? Good.'

Strangely, the first thing that struck me in the game was seeing the Goodsprings saloon's neon signs at night, along with the creaking, swinging sign. And I like the darker filter of Black Mountain (during evening?). Or the moon rising over the Boulder monument.

There hasn't been too much that struck me a whole lot visually....I like the graphics fine/they work for me, but nothing too awe-inspiring overall. Early evening and night are my fave times for color and contrast tho...with the NV city lights in the distance, or a lot of fire ants/fiends spamming fire & lasers.
There's something about the haze of mid-day (on my pc at least) that I really don't like, however. It robs everything of contrast and I keep thinking my monitor screen needs cleaning. lol

when first traveling to novac and seeing the giant t rex at night and i thought "This town looks like a hoot."

Indeed,



@Lady Crimson- Well, I'm a svcker for scenery, so anything that looks pretty makes me go 'oooh'

@thinker- Don't you mean 'This town looks like a roar'? :laugh:

When

That's why I only use one companion and barely interact with him. I'm not a very 'squad tactics' person. I just do most things solo. :laugh:

I had many awe inspiring moments playing FNV. Some of them could happen to anyone...



Some of them are more driven by your own choices or are caused by the specific circumstances. Arriving at a beautiful location at a given time of day, or the way an ambush is orchestrated or a fight breaks out.

The Enclave remnant bunker, although their is nothing much there it is still probably my favorite location in the game.

I agree, with all that technology in there, it kind of gives you this mental reminder of who the Enclaver were, and this sense of government lost there.

@Madoc- Augh, a literal context joke. :facepalm:

Nope, where !
I was completely serious, I spent around 10 minutes finding the best spot to take that picture... it's a great spot full of light and texture.
I did not make any reference or joke on purpose... lousy rep.. sorry if I led you to believe it to be so.

Hearing "Johnny Guitar" play on the radio as I walked slowly around Goodsprings Cemetary in my first half hour of the game.

For a moment I thought you took a screenshot from a high point for the view. :laugh:

When i entered The Strip for the first time. Even better when i then met Mr. House. Gewd Timez.

Discovering the truth of Vault 11.

Awe - Awe is an emotion comparable to wonder[1] but less joyous, and more fearful or respectful.

Erm.. Cazadors for the first time I guess.

Firing a mini-nuke at the fiend with the dogs. It had been along time, (since FO3), and I'd forgotten just how much chaos mini-nukes can create. :ahhh: :nuke: :ahhh:

SPOILERS AHEAD [forgot how to use the spoiler button]

When me, cannibal johnson and raul, all wearing remmnants power armour charged Legate lanius.

First time i assasinated Kimball halfway through his speech.

New Vegas at night :fallout:
