They aren't. They don't eat what you bring them, they use it as fertilizer for the fungus.

In the same library, there's a kiddy classroom. In the teachers desk, I found a carton of cigarettes.


You forgot that not so long ago, smoking in a public place was acceptable. And in the game, America was stuck in 50s day of tomorrow style of life...

I just so happened to have shot a Enclave Eyebot, because yes the Enclave is great, but the same song is annoying after a while. After destryoing it I hear the whir of heli blades and a Vert-bird comes flying at me, dropping mini nukes and and leaving a Heavy Unit behind. For a lousy eyebot. I wasn't prepared for the nukes or the gatling laser unit so I died.

How the hell did they (the Enclave) get into Vault 87? Not through the main entrance. Through murder pass? Risky, risky. Or that Vault door? Idk...

Watching the Ghouls of Warrington station LOSE to Mr. Tenpenny and his security force. I mean, Tenpenny BLEW ROY PHILIPS HEAD OFF. Burke went Ninja on the others and Gustavo led a small army, but they suffered some casualties...

Thawing out the Astronaut in Mothership Zeta and him still being alive with no dialouge o.O after killing him to get his suit, all the other cyrogenically frozen people attack me yelling "MURDERER!!" and "TRAITOR!!"

Meeting the Radroch King... Who was a Queen O.O...

Behemoth vs. a pack of roaming Ghouls and the ghouls come out on top!!

Getting attack by an Albino Rad Scorpion, a Giant Rad Scorpion, a Feral Ghoul, a team of Regulators, a team of Cannibals, a pack of wild dogs, roaming raiders, and a Deathclaw... At the same time -.- I know some people won't beleive me, but it's just one of those things that happen. They started killing eachother afterwards.

Met a random scavenger in the spawn point near Alexandria Arms. Blitzed through Flooded Raider Metro camp, went back to Megaton. The scavenger showed up like the other traders and that Ben character. Also, I've killed Raiders and had them become a spinning tangled floating ribbon. Usually not a problem unless you're stuck in the room with it. Dog jumping off a 100 foot bridge to growl at something on the ground.

oh yeah, I saw him, near the vault 12 entrance.

It's an unlisted random. There's also a scav running around with a modified Deathclaw.

At the RobCo Facility when I saw a deactivated robot sat on the toilet like he was passed out drunk in one of the stalls. :wacko:

If you want a good laugh, see what he left in the toilet.

The thing that made me go "What?" was the main quest. Specifically the part where dad sacrifices himself (he should've just opened the stupid door and let me headshot those svckers) and the part where I died from radiation despite having 85% Radiation Resistance and 100 Rad Aways. And Fawkes' refusing to go into the chamber because he doesn't want to interfere with my destiny would also qualify.

That's just one of the many random encounters in the game, buddy. Nothing uncommon about that. But yeah, I know what you mean -- a fridge in the middle of the Wastes is pretty odd. I mean, how the hell did it get there?

I just went back to Project Purity today to continue the main quest. I wandered around the rotunda and suddenly thought I saw a super mutant in the tank in the middle.

Took some careful looking to figure out it wasn't a Super Mutant....it was a dead president.

I've never noticed that before.

I just decided to clean up Lucky's parking lot, it was littered with Regulator bodies so i pick each one up and placed them on the parked car on the street and took 2 shots with my rifle then watched it blow! One of the bodies got stuck in the hood of the car which flew onto the street and the body was walking around with the hood strapped to his neck, it was very matrix-like. It was so crazy I took out my camera but he stopped his dance as I started to film

Yesterday I took down a Super Mutant Gargantuan (Mart's Mutant Mod) and when I went to loot the body there was a giant radscorpion nearby that I quickly killed. Thing is, I could still hear a radscorpion skittering nearby. So, I'm spinning in circles trying to locate the radscorpion before it kills me (still weak from the Gargantuan) and I can't find it at all. I calm down a little bit and start following the sound....going in circles to narrow it down. I realize I'm circling the Gargantuan corpse. I circled it four times and the only conclusion I can come to is that the Gargantuan fell on a radscorpion when it died and the radscorpion was trapped underneath.

had a wtf moment. was fighting the behemoth at i think its evergreen mill or somethin? the raider place with the behemoth in the fence. i was fightin him and i scored a hit with the fat man and then nothing. The behemoth disapeared completely. I was completely stunned. i looked everrywhere and finished moppin up the last raiders then i just gave up and fast travelled to big town to find some meds. as soon as i got to big town guess who met me there? the dead body of the behemoth. i was of F*** cuz i had no more stims and he spawned as though he was gonna attack. then he just fell over dead. (for some reason it would not let me loot the body) i fast travelled back to where i had fought him and he followed but after that he stayed at the raider base.

wtf..

Okay, I thought this was hilarious: I was wandering through DCTA Tunnel 014-B Potomac in So Georgetown with Dogmeat and Jericho. On the way to Foggy Bottom we got jumped by Lurks and dealt with em. As I passed through the threshold to the main tunnel I heard the clicking noise and realized there was another one. I ran backwards to the wall before me and locked on to it in vats (face shot), fired 2 or 3 bursts and it didn't drop (it had about 1 bar remaining). As it started to charge me Dogmeat comes running, smashes into a 55 gal. drum and the drum goes flying, hits the lurk in the head and drops it. :rofl:

Have found a few strange new things recently, maybe they have always been there, but I've never noticed :shrug: -

- Arriving at Paradise Falls and finding a live Yao Guai actually inside the compound, right by the entrance.
- Creeping up at Enclave outposts and finding them doing press ups on the floor.
- Creeping up on four Swampfolk (at the Beachview Campsite) to watch them do a strange dance
- Raiders have started to spawn near the entrance to Megaton and often fight with Deputy Weld. I'm assuming this is why Micky hasn't been seen for a while.

There's lots of things to discover in this game :)

I had just spoken to Pinkerton about Harkness and was swimming back under the sunken bow of the ship and there is an old black woman, knife brandished, holding her breath, in rags floating underwater

I thought she was waiting to kill me!

(I later realised it was Victoria Watts warning me about the railroad)

I had just stepped out of the Super-Duper Mart when I heard loud gunshots and Bryan Wilks ran past me. Behind him came a Hunter (the Scavenger type, not one the cannibal ones) reloading his hunting rifle as he trailed Bryan. The Hunter kept running after the boy - firing his rifle every other couple of feet - for as long as I dared to follow.

First time I've ever seen a NPC attacking a child NPC, though I can understand why they would want to.

One time I was walking under the bridge just north of Vault 101 (Looking for a Raider I shot off it.) when the next thing I know I hear the sound of grating metal. I noticed a shadow on the ground at my feet (At the time I didn't think about a car falling off the bridge.) and then it was smashed time. The car crushed me. I was like WTF?. Had a train car do the same up near the western part of the map. Where the Monorail thing is. I remembered the car so wasn't crushed.

Strange one, got a red dot on the compass so I tried to see the enemy, switched to VAT and saw a deathclaw up in the air, It was pretty far away as I only had around 70% chance for headshot then it faced me. Assigned four shots to it and was surprised then the VAT animation showed me aiming almost straight up in the air.
Wonder how it managed to get where, also wondering if it would die if I had let it fall.

One other time I got an ant falling out of the sky in a raider camp, no other ants nearby.

North of the location of the nuke cola challenge location it's an enclave outpost with two enclave controlled deathclaws who is nice because one of the soldiers usually have a gatling laser. However with all the plug-in everybody in the location is always dead, yes it might be the deathclaw control scrambler but this happened before I got it.

About the wastelanders and the fridge with water, the event is scripted as it has some dialogue, the fights you run into is mostly not scripted but just random even the three parts battles where two groups fights and other run into them.
happens with me to pretty often, radscoripons might follow you so then you stop fight somebody they catch up with you or you move around to find cover or a sniping position and run into other enemies.

I was creeping around inside the wall of Tenpenny Tower, I could hear the usual raider verses BOS battle going on over the other side off the wall when CLANG !!! a dead BOS sentinel came flying over the wall crashing down from a great hight just missing me.

I looted him then moved on.
