Speaking of Power armor, I didn't know Raiders had their own brand of power armor... but now I have a set, eh?
Also, I didn't realize legendary opponents would start appearing at level 12 or 13. In fact, I never ran into a legendary anything until my second character (who isn't yet as high level as the first one was) ran into a "Legendary Feral Ghoul Reaver" at level 12.
I didnt know that Raiders will use Fatmans at POINT BLANK RANGE!!!
I remember my surprise at the "Touchdown" achievement.
Ha ha, Bethesda.
Very funny.
That you can "Tame" animals (And people? not unlocked that perk yet)
That there is a female version of the mr handy (Mrs nanny)
There is a secret military complex under the glowing sea.
In power armour, you can walk at the bottom of lakes and rivers like one of those olde timey deep sea divers.
I didn't know that an easy way to keep track of your armor/weapons in your inventory without favorting them to the hot bar is to simply go in to rename them to what ever you want, until my coworker suggested it. I just ad an * to the front of the name.
Yes, i found it by myself, the power armour in said complex got me all giddy and excited.
Look out for a small abandoned shack at the bottom left area of the map.
