Your Favorite WTF moment from Fallout 3

Post » Fri Nov 13, 2009 9:35 pm

Mine would probably have to be when I shot this guy in VATS from like 50 feet away with Lincoln's Repeater. While still in VATS slo-mo, he did this breakdance thing, going through about 5 different moves before his body finnaly collapsed.. good times... good times..

dude, this was so cool. it happened twice to me actually. its about behemoth killing. the first was at evergreen mills, i nuked the behemoth in the cage and it gltched and flew into the air, came down and died. the second one was outside gnr, idk what i did but it flew into the air and died when it hit the ground too. it was awesome and lucky. they take so much ammo. too bad i can have the same luck with deathclaws

yesterday I had another wtf moment which got me pretty scared for the moment.

after talking to Mr. Pinkerton, I had to dive out of the carrier's bow... after leaving the bow, all of the sudden Ms. Watts was standing under water right in front of me, looking like a freaking drowned body or a ghost or something, staring at me. I was just like :bolt:

I've had lots of WTF moments, but one of my first had to be on my first playthrough. I was still very low level and exploring around the wasteland. I had just killed the two Super Mutants at those two red trains east of evergreen mills and looted some stuff there when I spotted another enemy (Radscorpion or something) coming at me. So I walked towards it and killed it. Feeling pretty good about myself for surviving all this I turn around and stare right at a Behemoth. I'm pretty sure I actually said WTF at that moment. The Behemoth seemed to be stuck behind the trains so I could get the hell out of there. I wouldn't have survived with such a low level and not nearly enough ammo to take that thing down.

My latest was yesterday. Me and Charon were fighting the raiders near the bridge at Big Town. Pretty easy since my current character is level 20. A raider comes at us over the bridge and I go into VATS and target his left leg. I got this perk which stacks the damage to a limb, can't remember what it's called. So I was planning on blowing his leg off but it didn't come off. The raider died allright but didn't fall over, so I thought WTF? and went over to him. It wasn't a glitch, he had an assault rifle which he ended up leaning on when he died from me shooting his leg. LMAO, this game still surprises me. Anyway I tipped him over and me and Charon went our way. I forgot to make a screenshot, would be a nice one.

Happened to me too, so I lured her out of the water, and gave her some kneecap surgery. Unfortunatly, Pinkerton wouldn't lend me a scalpel, so I had to use a shotgun :evil:

I was in my Tennpenny Suite taking a break from the days hazards, dropping off some loot, and sleeping. I had just returned from _____________ after acquiring the T51b Power Armor before talking to Crowley. Anyway, I slept and as soon as I woke up I heard my Mr. Gutsy going haywire and Charon blasting away with his Shotgun. I wiped the sleep from my eyes only to see Crowley splattered all over my apartment. First of all, how did he get past all of the Ghouls Hating guards and make it into my LOCKED room? Second, how did he know that I had acquired the T51b - there's no way he could have known...

Oh, it was in the middle of the day so I know that all of the guards were on duty!

Hm, I suspect Charon sold me out through his ghoulish connections... Mabye I'll have to take his Stimpacks and Metal Armor away for a time as punishment.

Had a WTF moment in megaton yesterday.

I go to the Common House; go up to the second floor and try to pickpocket some sleeping guy. Guy wakes up, but he wakes up facing the open door, meaning he doesn't see me. He's all like "hey, what's going on' and stuff, but because he doesn't see me I am able to slip away, out of the Common House without him and anyone else attacking me. 'phew' I think, got away with that one...

So I continue wandering the town, la-did-a, and decide to enter the brass Lantern and walk around a bit, see if i can nick some stuff, but not much luck (day time, too many people around). So I leave the Brass lantern.

Go outside and WHOLE TOWN GOES CRAZY! the guy I tried to pickpocket in the Common House found me and attacks me together with the whole [censored] town chasing me into the Brass Lantern (stupid idea to run back into that place instead of out of Megaton). The last thing I see is that guy's face looking at me with his face full of hatred while i stand with my back to the wall trying to defend myself from a berserk mob of Megaton people.

Then.... well I died.

Mine was the first time i went to the grizzly diner. I was looking around at all the dead people and things hanging from the cieling and a raider charges in the door and hits me with a tire iron, So i run to the back of the place and a raider with a flamer runs in the back entrance and a random frag mine goes off, Rips the Riaders leg off which in turn twitches against a wall hitting a large whiskey bottle and it flings it acorss the room taking the other raiders head clean off as its charging me with a tire iron. Thought that was lucky as i go out to the front of the dinner to find another raider with an assault rifle who attempts to kill me but is standing behind a hanging cow so i take out the Rock-It-Launcher and fire i think a plate into the cow thing which in turn knocks the thing swinging and pushes the raider over who gets stuck in the cabinet behing him. I waslked up to him and shot him with a railway rifle, his head stuck to the cow thing and his body starts stretching out into a mass of stretchy limbs that pretty much fills the diner and continues outward. It went away after i quick traveled back and forth from Tenpenny Tower. Then i walk into the back of the diner to find the Keller tape i was looking for to see it was hit by the still flaining raider limb. I found it 2 hours later in the field to the right of the diner around 300 feet away :rofl: ..... Is it just me or does this game have so many random glitches that are almost impossible to repeat.

That happened to me too, I didn't know who she was, but she freaked me out! What is she doing in there? Would she have tried to kill me if I hadn't run like a banshee? - Oh wait, Virginia Watts, isn't she that underground railroad person? Ok, she wouldn't have killed me. Still didn't expect to see her under water though.

Occasionally ( seems to be when I over do it with the firepower ) Rad Roach limbs tend to "run" after seperating from the body.

Also, when dead Mirelurks "twitch" in shallow water. You're trying to explore, but all you can hear is its corpse splashing. I know its dead, but the sound makes me paranoid that I won't hear a live one right behind me. I seriously hate these things, and look forward to introducing them to my new Man Opener from the Pitt.

Now its MY turn to rip YOUR limbs off you [censored] [censored]'s! Yeah!

Here's a good one. Glitch but anyway.

I shoot a raider sniper in the head when they were sleeping. The body then begins to get elastic arms and legs and head. This thing ragdolls and the limbs stretch all the while flying around the inside of a building. I walk into a room where it's banging into things then the entire room explodes. WTF!

I had another weird one earlier today
I was in a house in Dupont Circle
Jericho stood in the middle of the room, and wouldn't move
I left and shot some raiders
I had been in sneak mode, but left it
Jericho got stuck in sneak mode, and started randomly teabagging the floor
Eventually he stood up, and every time I wnet into sneak mode, he just bent his knees slightly

I walked off and he wouldn't follow me, and only reappeared when I entered the metro tunnels

Also, I betrayed the Temple of the Union, and sent the slavers there
The slavers easily killed the slaves, making the Temple of the Union a random encouter spot
Before I could even walk out the door with the slavers, some Regulators appeared out of nowhere, and tried to kill me
WTF they must have flown in

I was going to the Super-Duper Mart for Moira Brown's quest and 3 Radscorpions ran towards me.

I was in a ditch, took my Terrible Shotgun out, and blasted the closest one maybe 6 or 7 times.

Its body flew in a long arc, about 30 feet in the air. I stared at it, then I noticed the 2 other Radscorpions watching it fly through the air.

Even Dogmeat was watching it fly off.

While this was happening, the Dead Chinese Commando from the crashed plane walked up to me and blew up.

Apparently, this snapped the Radscorpions and Dogmeat out of it, because the fighting continued.

I was completely confused.

Here's a good moment for you people... its not really a WTF moment, and im sure a lot of you have experienced it, but i just wanted to say it. I'm jsut walkin' through the wasteland, minding my own business on a mission that I gave myself, when I see something totally awesome: A Yao Guai and a Radscorpion are dukin it out with a protectron and a sentry bot. It was awesome, an epic battle going on and I got to just sit there and watch. The Yao Guai and Radscorpion killed the bots, then began fighting EACHOTHER. Then the Yao Guai came after me when it killed the scorp. I killed it, and continued on my mission. THat mission was: to get to rockopolis and nab the Unarmed bobblehead. Unfortunately, I had completely forgotten about the Deathclaw that guards the entrance.

SPLAT!!

All that was left of me were a few limbs and a spatter of blood on the walls.

This happened awhile ago..

I was on my way to Ol'olney from Vault 92 I get out of the hole that goes in to the vault walk up and see a Deathclaw. I go into Vats pull out the missile launcher and fire a missile at it I watch the Vats animation when suddenly the deathclaw shot up into the air. Now i know you're thinking, "Oh come man thats a common glitch!" but heres the weird part my missile curves in its flight and is flying straight into the air so now for the next 5 minutes the vats animation is following the missile as it goes into space. then Vats turns off and my character is stairing into the sky...

WTF???

Every post is going to be about a Havok glitch... game developers have to stop using this crappy physics system.

What are you on? Havok is one of the best physics systems.
