WTF Moments in New Vegas

Post » Wed Feb 17, 2010 5:16 am

Ok so I know the game just came out a week ago but I'm sure lots of people have had crazy moments. Just share them here, I'll start.

Today when I was playing I had to do a mission for the BoS and I had to go to certain places to retrieve some holotapes. Well one of them was basically infested with centaurs, I swear there were like 50 of them so after I killed them they all happened to fall into the pit into one place, it was just a huge wiggling pile of centaurs, but this was only my first WTF moment. Then when I retrieved the holotape and was trying to make my way back to the base I stumbled upon an super mutant camp, I thought "These will be easy to kill if they're anything like Fallout 3's super mutants. I was wrong. Dead wrong. Fully modded .44 Magnum and I couldn't even take one of them down and I wasted like 50 shots on them, my second WTF moment. So I tried to run away but the mutants had crippled my legs so I used my last to stimpaks to heal them. Then I'm trying to run from them and I encounter 2 giant radscorpions (way tougher than Fallout 3's, of course) and 10 of those little brown ones. This is when I thought, "Oh [censored]" and just threw everything I had at them. Then out of nowhere it starts raining fire, turns out one of the super mutants had some kind of napalm launcher and he was using it to kill the scorpions. I then sat there and watched like an idiot as balls of fire and scorpion tails rained down on me and I soon died. This has certainly been the weirdest moment I've had in 10 hours of gameplay,

Completely forgot about No-Bark, how could I have forgotten his "Chupacabra with automatic" weapon line. I haven't met Antler though, where is he?

When I first met Beatrix over at the Mormon Fort, then later found someone who wanted to employ her. "WTF" does not even begin to describe what went through my head then.

Had a similar moment to one of the previous posters, except mine was a deathclaw. I had, at first, used my service rifle - until I ran out of ammo. Then, I switched to the Cowboy gun (the one with the circle for a sight) with the same result - albeit different type of ammo. Then, i went over to my final weapon - the Incinerator (that's the weapon that the Super Mutant from Black Mountain hit you with)... You will not believe how long it took to bring down this ONE DeathClaw. And... the killer loot that I got????

Empty.


*evilshake*


A different moment was in the Vegas Sewers. I did a head-shot on one of the inhabitants (was doing a quest to help someone out in West Entrance, I think). I hit, got the exp, but the person was caught in mid-stride, and did not fall down. I was, to say the least, intrigued; then I saw the next person walking the same way. I head-shot them too. The end result? Two people, facing each other, both dead, and both standing.

Mine Happened earlier. It ended up with me throwing the controller out the window into the snow. I was pissed.
So *hopefully spoiler free* somehow I wound up with like 700 radiation points no rad-x, and no radaway. I was trying to get to the cove to head up to the Caesar's Legion camp for the first time. I got turned around somehow and didn't care, I saw a Triangle thing and went for it. Apparently, after you cross that Lake *spoiler free remember* The Lakelurks warped me of about 15 of my 50 stimpacks. As I got around this corner I could see what looked to be a Friggin army of Ghouls charging for me. Shame on me for my idiotic move here. I had Rex the Cyberdog and *lol, my favorite companion ever.* Lily bowen with me. We went head on with this army. Rex and lily died in about 3 seconds flat. Now in this army of ghouls are roamers, reavers, and a TON of Glowing ones. It's apparently a "Test Facility." Well long story short. I walked in with my lovely pistol, "Maria." All I had was about 500 9mm shots, 200 +P, and 170 something Hollow Points. Needless to say i survived the fight only to DIE OF RADIATION POISONING FROM THE GLOWING ONE I WAS STANDING ON.
This happened 4 times in a row before I got pissed and went to wal-mart for beer.
