When the BoS patrol rescued me from two Mutants in the ruins of Washington D.C.. I was literally dying on the way to GNR Radio Station.

Getting the .223 pistol for the first time in FO1. No Internet to tell me what to expect from completing a quest, so complete suprise and delight from thi s moment on putting .223 rounds thru critters and people's eyes.

So many...

Descending into the glow
Having my car stolen - then getting it back
Finding goulface buried in a grave - pretty sure that was his name
Running out of the Dunwich building in the pitch dark and falling off a cliff
Hallucinating giant bobble heads
Meeting Fawkes
Battle for the Lincolin Memorial
Sneaking around Bison Steve
ED-E
Getting my Fallout coffee cup in the mail

The first time I played Fallout I rolled a total combat monkey. This was a RPG, and everyone knows that RPGs are exclusively about combat skills, right? I'd played the Apshai series; I knew how these games went. Put an 18 in Strength, dump Charisma. Get a big sword. I got out of the Vault quickly enough and hit the wasteland running. Well, after I'd ostracized everyone in Shady Sands and Junktown and pretty much shut down any possibility except combat, I figured maybe I should restart with a more balanced character.

That was the moment I fell in love with Fallout. The fact that the game made talking to people as viable an option as shooting them in the face (and quite often a better one) was a revelation.

The end of Fallout 1 did it for me.

I'd always liked having a nice epilogue in my RPGs, but Fallout 1 was the first time that I'd seen one go so in-depth with being reactive to your previous actions and how interestingly certain things could turn (like picking what you thought would be the "good" option in one place would upset the balance of power and actually be detrimental to another region, etc.) Kind of blew my mind, actually.

I couldn't wait to start a new game and see what things I could affect, and most importantly it gave my subsequent playthroughs the feeling that every single thing I did, no matter how small, was going to have an impact on how the story played out.

Can't choose. Dead Money and Lonesome Road.


Dead Money for making my Dead-is-dead playthrough feel so....alive. Never had such a thrilling experience in all my years of gaming. That's a DLC that on Dead-is-dead on your ~first playthrough? You live and feel every single emotion it has to offer.

Lonesome Road was much the same, but to a lesser extent. I felt more experienced and untouchable there; not neccesarily because it wasn't hard enough, but just because I had every tool at my disposal and 45 levels of experience behind me, so I was prepared. What it lacked in difficulty (comparatively) though, it made up for by being the climix. Confronting Ulysses....everything else was just build-up for that exact moment. In many ways? I feel like Lonesome Road was the "ending" for the entire Fallout series. You, your nemesis, and the fate of the world, with the ending only being as good as you allowed it to be.

Tie between blowing up the Cathedral in F1, and blowing up the oil platform in F2.

First time into the Capital Building in F3, and first time escaping from Elijah in Dead Money are right up there too.

Struggling to survive and defend ourselves in the Fallout MMO with other forumers in our sixy walled off fort. That was a glorious time.

It's an unofficial mod for Fallout/Fallout 2. The game is merciless and your chances of being PK'd in one session are a good 90% chance if you intend to visit any cities.

If you want a grueling game, have at it, but a lot of us quit after we kept getting PK'd by gangs, mostly Russians.

Definitely! I still have to claim all of Dead Money to be my favorite moment because it was so good. But the Gala Event in Dead Money was my favorite part. My character sneaked a lot in Dead Money but when I started the Gala Event I knew I couldn't sneak attack on the hordes of Ghost People below, nor could I sneak past. What more epic way than to say "[censored] it!" and run and gun through all of them. God, made for such a fantastic experience! I was literally trash talking all of the Ghost People while I sprayed my BAR everywhere. "You want some of this you b******!". Helped me get through the horror that comes with them. Just thinking about it excites me and makes me wish I could do it again!

I need to change mine, most best moment was being told not to came back to the vault in FO3. I understood, but walking back out into the wasteland for the last time hurt.

I always connect HARD to my characters, devolving their stories and memories. So, when something happens I feel their hurt.

Meeting and siding with MR House (entering the strip as well), JHE and Richard grey (the cathederal as well)are the ones that always stick out as being iconic moments (for me at least) in the series.
