I was just travelling the Wasteland as I usually do, minding my own business, and then I caught a glimpse of a Protectron rocketing across the sky -- it hadn't landed when it faded from sight. Appropriately, I thought 'wtf?', and then continued on my way.


That happened to me when I left the capitol building, I made a save of it.

I was walking to tenpenny tower and I saw a raider sitting down with her back against a car. She wasn't wearing raider armor, but a settler outfit. When I talked to her she said stuff like. "Get outta my face, [censored]."

:lol: I aint never seen anything like that before. Might be one of those random encounters. I've seen a raider in Enclave armour before, though.

And nice username...

That raider is part of a scripted event :celebration: :

Spoiler
The raiders have set up an ambush on one of the BoS water caravans that is heading along the road, next time, shoot her :gun: or stick around to watch the ambush.


From the wiki:
Spoiler
After completing Broken Steel, raiders outside Tenpenny Tower will try to ambush BoS soldiers transporting water (one has a Gatling laser). They will respawn every 3 days giving a good supply of BoS equipment if you decide not to help them.

Every time I walk into Paradise Falls, about fifty skulls drop from the sky and the slavers all yell at me like it's my fault. Watch where I'M going?! Up yours, buddy!

I also saw my first set of Raidenclave. I couldn't BELIEVE it. Four raiders had taken out two Enclave in power armour and their officer and taken their helmets?! Oh, and the raiders sustained one loss - I know that because the corpses were hanging in flying positions two feet above my head.

Utter nonsense. This quite clearly never happened.

But I see what you mean with the first thing you said. Seriously, it seems that everyone in the Wasteland has a hissy fit if you knock their precious Bent Tin Can one inch from its original place of residence. Haven't they got better things to worry about?

Actually, I've seen Raiders in Enclave Armor with Plasma Rifles before..

Also, have you noticed how you can move, but not destroy any of their stuff? Those Tin Cans don't even get scratched after a Grenade hits em. Whoever Bent them in the first place must have been Mr.Universe high on Buffout.

You'd think they'd start using Tin Can Suits as a substitute for P.A if they're that indestructible..

No, I've seen raiders in Enclave armour, but they couldn't have killed them -- not possible! Lies! :P

And yeah, so true. Those Bent Tin Cans have probably been around since the war -- it was the nukes that bent them.... and even then some remained just regular Tin Cans.

That last one was a biggie. The game not only forgot to load the texture for that area, but also the collision. If it werent' for my jetpack I would have been unable to get to Rivet City. Not that it mattered, the game crashed when I tried to save.

I've had the first and the last. My 'tree' was a bush on top of the powerlines near Big Town. And I occasionally get big holes in the world. Last one was in Canterbury Commons. I wondered why that guy didn't greet me. He was going for a swim with the rest of the town :laugh:
Come to think of it, your tree was probably a bush originally, as it looks like you're using Green World or one of its other incarnations.

I've had rocket-propelled dead animals zoom overhead before. Most was 4. It was really weird. Seeing as we don't get comets, they are the next best thing, I guess.
That Raider girl I've seen twice. Each time she just says, "I don't have time for you, [censored]." Usually by that time I'm at a certain point in Broken Steel, so a water caravan mows her down pretty quickly after that.

Utter nonsense. This quite clearly never happened.

In your game, maybe.

There are two places I know of where it happens. I don't remember the exact location of the first - it's between two buildings beside a huge carpark. Second one I only found the other night. It was somewhere in the wasteland, somewhere north, as I was heading back from Old Olney. There's a deserted Enclave camp with raider grafitti (sp?) all over it and some dead soldiers. As soon as you step into the area Raiders ambush you and one is wearing some power armor. Either the helmet or the body part. My follower set him on fire so I couldn't really tell what part he was wearing.

I've only read page 3 :)

Don't worry; it's just a little joke... Enclave supporter, you see. :P

As I said, I'm aware it happens, but I've only ever seen a Raider in Enclave armour, not the actual fight.

I was walking around the Wastes, and I find two groups of Wastelanders fighting over a refrigerator. Its just there. This place isn't marked or anything. Literally, in the middle of nowhere.

:shrug:


I was just on wiki because I wan't to see if there were any more water beggars to give my aqua to, as Micky, Carlos and Willy are all dead in my game. I stumbled across this ..." In another random occurrence, you may encounter two groups fighting over a fridge stocked with 10 purified water bottles. You can leave them alone, kill them and take the water, or with a successful speech check, convince them to split the water with you.". http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Purified_water

Didn't know why it seemed relevant at first and then I remembered. Still no idea what that water is doing out there though :wacko:

I found the fridge! Only, it was being protected by a couple of ghoul wastelanders who were fighting a giant radscorpion. I killed the scorpion and they pretty much gave up on life and told me to take it all. O_O

I swear to God, I see that everytime at the Meresti Trainyard. The Wastelanders get owned by the scorpian most of the time, but if you save them, you get the water. Hooray!

Though, I might be wrong, but it looks like the Radscorpian it trying to protect the water, and not let the wastelanders have it. Heck, on one of my saves, the thing started running away from me. :blink:

Oh, and 5000 posts! Yay, I'm a Master now! :celebration: :celebrate:

You know what I do? While they're fighting with each other I swap the nice water in the fridge for my collection of dirty water then leave them to it :laugh:

I've only had Tinker Joe do his creepy Exorcist headspin while talking to me. I did get a screenshot at the time, but who knows where that is, now.

Not really a glitch or anything, but I saw a Scavanger with a trained Yao Guai near a Broadcast Tower.

once i was wandering the wastes, and came up on a scavenger, he had a small shelter made of meata with all of his stock in it, I decided to steal all his crap then sell it back to him, and then kill him and take it again :). but this did not work out as planned, i shot the guy and it didnt kill him, so he ran off to a small pond, then tried to swim across it, the AI gliched and the guy just sam around in the pond, i started to shoot him with my 32. pistol(I was a low level character) and the scavenger started to swim twards me to attack, when the scavenger got to the shore he started swimming in mid air, then tried to swim away, but he wasnt swimming, he was running, on top of the water, once he got halfway across the pond he dissapeared under the water, i swam out there to see where he went, I searched all over the pond but he was nowhere to be found, so I walked away, then looked back and the scavenger was swimming across the pond to attack me.

Playing a character with very good sneak, and the Chinese stealth armour. Enclave come in in a vertibird, so I crouch down and they don't see me - but it wasn't me they were after. Immediately they run off into a building, where I here "Bang, Crunch, Boom, pew pew, bang", and see one of their heads fly back out of the building. Sneak a bit closer and I see they ran straight into a load of raider traps. Everybody inside was dead, including the raiders.

What?
