I only just realized that if you

Spoiler

use the Liniment on Harold's heart during the 'Oasis' quest

, it actually DOES make a difference to the Wasteland. You just have to look carefully.

A few days ago I learned that the Paralyzing Palm perk worked even WHILE using Unarmed weapons, which it suggests it can't. =P

I found out that is a REALLY bad idea to lock yourself in a protectron box.

How?

so if you carry body to a bin or next to a dead rival faction you can get some pop corn fast travel away for 3 days waiting and run back to witness them fight ,npc will always walk in direction toward there scripted check points after respawn

I found I still can't jump from one piece of a particular semi collapsed overpass to the other, after taking the 'Nearly Perfect' perk...... :violin:

after 100 hours, I only just discovered the Ghoul Outpost in Grayditch. Also, after 50 hours of gameplay, I (actually my friend) realized that you can select parts more than once with V.A.T.S

It took me 500 hours to find that place let alone the Talon outpost near it

that a nuclear blast has no effect on children

To be fair, it doesn't have much effect on behemoths, either. I just can't get my head around *anything* standing up to a nuke. Shouldn't just one devastate blocks of a city?

Ghoul Outpost? Where?

Found out recently that holding E while drinking lets you drink for longer. I used to constantly tap E like an idiot.

Oh, and I'm roughly 150hrs through the game with a male and female character. (lv 9 male, lv 30 female).

Around seventy hours of game play I finally realized you can pick up items with the cursor and joystick... Stupidity at it's finest.

Ah yeah I found that out recently too. I had no idea Z picks up items on the PC, I don't generally read into the manual much and just figure things out myself.

Ghoul Outpost? Where?

It's on the edge of Grayditch. You wouldn't notice it.

Wasn't that part of the tutorial? I thought I had to learn about that when my char was in his crib!

yeah you do.

I actually went looking and found it before you posted. Thanks anyway. I also found the Raiders racing Mole Rats encounter while searching.

Speaking of Grayditch, I only recently stumbled upon the fact that the Wilks boy can be sold into slavery. That outcome has some of the funniest dialogue I've yet seen in Fallout 3. :fallout:

even after 200 hours of gameplay i still havent found the sniper shack or the mole rat racetrack

Hah I must have just forgotten about it then.

There's a Molerat racetrack??
On topic, I'm always learning new things with Fallout by reading these posts! Like right now!
