At least you have time to try that, I want to see if they can
On my very first playthrough I started collecting pool balls (it's bad enough that there isn't even a full set), then when I found a triangle I was overjoyed.... Stopped whatever quest I was working on and ran back to my Megaton house. Drop the triangle and start to pick up the balls... wait a second... only three fit. WTF!!!
I`m sure it was some kinda scaling issue, like the balls woulda been too small or the triangle too large, but... c`mon.
