Your Favorite WTF moment from Fallout 3

Post » Fri Nov 13, 2009 11:06 pm

Today, I was in Fairfax Ruins, killing some raiders. When I went to loot the bodies, I noticed some of the raiders had green skin.

When a Deathclaw flew in the air, came back down unhurt, turned huge, and died. I had to disable it as I was stuck under its copse.

I just left the Anchorage Memorial and I discover that up on top of the building, there's a pair of hunters fighting a Yao Guai. The yao guai finished them easily, but they left it with very low health so i killed it wiht one shot of my sniper rifle to its leg.

BUT! That's not the WTF moment. The WTF moment was that when one of the hunters fell off the top onto the stairs, suddenly his body just goes completely nuts: He's twisting and spinning all around while his limbs are severely stretched out and flailing in all sorts of random directions at an incredible speed. After a full 10 seconds he finally settled down into the typical Dead position.

Anotehr event incredibly similar to my last one happened before as well, only it was an enclave soldier in the middle of a random encounter war between super mutant brutes and enclave. Anyway, the soldier is doing the exact same thing as the hunter, but with two differences: 1, he never stopped doing it, and two: he was slowly flying up into the air and would'nt come back down. I even tried shooting him and it did nothing but increase the speed at which he flew up.

That is quite a common thing to happen, it sometimes happen's to me and they start make a loud banging sound like something just dropped.

I was on the highway killing raiders, when suddenly my brother comes into the room... just in time for me to get distracted by him and get blown up, no just by the missile but also by all the cars nearby. Obviously I died.

Just the other day I went to the campsite for the deathclaw gauntlet schematics and every time I went near it the nearby deathclaw would shoot straight up into the air and disappear. Another one would appear on the ground and shoot up again. I just stood there and watched deathclaws shooting into the clouds lol.

I killed a raider once, and he flew miles into the air and off into the capital wasteland. I couldn't stop laughing. And whenever bodies start coming apart and flying around, it gets me in stitches.

I only recently started playing (less than a week) so mine might not be that good.

It was the first time I saw a jaw bone in the game. I'd killed a raider and was walking up to loot him...gun at the ready just in case...and I happened to see something peculiar looking...at first I was like, "what is that?" Then I was like, "those look like teeth!" Finally I was like "WTF! That's his jaw bone!"

Shortly after that I saw eyeballs pop out of a guys head (slowed down during VATS) and a skull that looked like it was cleaved by the bullet. I mean it blew the top of his skull off...

After that I was like, "This game is..."

I had quite a WTF moment when I saw this line in GECK "Trouble on the Homefront" scripts:
"short Amnesty ;Checks whether or not the player has been granted amnesty to travel in the vault: 0 = not tried, 1 = granted, 2 = tried and failed."

There is no actual script using "Amnesty" variable, but I now believe that we were supposed to be granted access to 101 freely if we passed a speech check.



Just a theory but :shrug:

The one time I did my new game ritual of shooting the water begger outside of Megaton in the face. His head exploded, and his body slumped to the ground. Thanks to a glitch though, the head chunks didn't blow apart, instead they hovered in place of his head, making a cool, but grotesque floating head.

in the cryo lab in MZ, at the tubes where you press a button, the "pod" inside the tube gets frozen and a new one takes its place.
well, i activated it and accidentially ran into the smoke thats around it whilst the pod gets frozen. my character goes stiff, locked in the running pose and falls to the ground and then gets up again after a second. major WTF moment for me, also one of the funniest moments ive had in the entire game :)

i got two more :D

once in a metro station (cant remember which) i decided to sleep on one of the 3 beds there. when i woke up i found 3 raiders sleeping in them, and one of them was in the same bed as me O_o

and finally, the stretch and spazz glitch. sniped a raider and she started flailing all over the place O_o

I was walking near the dunwich building and aparently an "albino radscorpion" had spawned right in the middle of the dunwich buildings main door, it was keeping a loud rumbling voice and glitching into abstract forms, it was so creepy i had to blast it with a fatman just go get rid of it. ironicaly this was the first time i was at dunwich and it realy setted the "creepy" mood for me, the interrios was alot more scaryer afterwards though...

The one time I was being chased by a Rad Scorpion. I dropped a mine, which was set off by the scorp. Anyway, when it set of the mine, the scorpion did a complete lateral roll on the ground. Thinking that it was dead, I ran up to it, only for it to start attacking me, and of course, a second scorpion joined in.


The second one was when I first started playing. I had killed a few scorpions, so when I saw what looked like a scorpion off in the distance, I wasn't that concerned, until I realized that it wasn't really off in the distance, and it was the size of a bus. Giant Rad scorpions FTW.

On the BS first mission I fired my Laser Rifle at a Vertibird and it Exploded!!!! :woot: Then I saw some lasers fire from behind me and realized it was Liberty Prime :facepalm:
The other one was when I was in the Temple of the Union, I finished Talking to Hannibal for the First time and a Deathclaw suddenly appeared from behind me and killed all the anti-slavers apart from Hannibal, then I enslaved him :celebration:

just today I was leaving the Dunwich building and I heard a loud clang like a protectron just keeled over. I looked over to see some things fall from the sky off in the distance. keeping my eyes on it I saw a Robobrain fly toward the building, hit a car, bounce, and land on the ground IT WAS SO EPIC! like one of those movies where the guys are like "we gotta get to safety!" and a car comes flying towards them in a near miss. then I found Charon round the building fighting a radscorpion. that was a weird day...

I've been meaning to find this thread.
The first time I met Star Paladin Cross, she was in the Lab bathroom drinking from the toilet.
When I asked her to follow me she said she couldn't because of my current...companion (Charon).
A black woman who drinks from a toilet being a bigot about a ghoul, WTF?!?

My biggest wtf moment...
Must have been once out in some random Wasteland area. I was doing some exploring and killed a bunch of radscorpions near some trucks. I thought all of them were dead, but while I was standing near the rear end of one of the trucks, I suddenly saw something big, black and pointy in the corner of the screen. I almost flew out of my chair, but I backed off and saw that there was a giant radscorp on top of the truck, leaning down slightly. But he wasn't attacking for some reason. must have been some kinda bug. (no, it was a scorpion which hardly qualifies as a bug. Worst joke ever...)

She didn't go with you because you can only have one human(oid) follower at a time. Although if you choose the proper dialogue choice in conversation with her in that first encounter she will come with you anyway. It's a known bug you can exploit.

So, I had just come back from MZ, and wanted to try out some Cryo Grenades. A Yao Gui jumped at me, and I threw a Cryo Nade at it. It was hit in mid air and turned in to a living comet! It only stopped flying through the air when it hit some unfortunate raider, killing him instantly. I couldn't stop laughing. The poor Bear must've gone 500 feet!

I have quite a few WTF moments in fallout, like today:
I decicded to kill Conferssor Cromwel, so I jumped on the roof of the Brass Lantern and I shot Cromwel right thru the head.
Strangely though, his body kept floating in the air, and it took Mr Cromwel a few seconds to finally drop and make the settllers of megaton realise their Confessor was (Finaly) dead

Or when I checked out Vault 108, there was a wastelander in front on the vault door, after i checked his body he flew up to the cave roof and started headbanging very fast :bowdown:
