Your Favorite WTF moment from Fallout 3

Killing everyone in Evergreen mills.
I chucked a grenade, right next to the power thing next to the behemoth cage.
It got out and ran away :|

Here's another set. I'll be posting a few of my own every once in a while so as to keep this topic alive and kickin. Speaking of which...

1: I shoot a Radscorpion in the Enclave base with my Terrible Shotgun, and when im on my way out of the basemant that im in, i see one of the radroach's legs lying there with one end bouncing up and down like the leg was trying to walk on its own. :rolleyes:

2: I'm in the drive-in theater, and i kil a bunch of the raiders. Theres one left. I decide to toss a grenade at him to kill him...
I mustve been having a streak of crazy. :nuts:
I suddnely remember what that would do, but i was too late. I'm all like, "I am soooo ****ed." And I was right. The bomb winds up setting off one of the cars, which, in turn blew up THE REST of the cars. I flew so high, I could see the earth rotating beneath me... that or I was just flying in some random direction.

3: This isnt a WTF moment, i just wanted to tell yall 'bout it. Im walking inside the Germantown building as my Sneak-maxed character, and decide to have some fun. I go to one of the police computers and set off the alarm, making a super mutant enter the room. I have my char go and hide in a dark corner. and guess what... even when the SM touched me, it couldnt find me. At all. Every time he started walking away, I just shot him with a silenced pistol in the head. And he came bac, but still couldnt find me. he walks away again, i shoot him again. The process repeated until he finally died. I intentionally trip the alarm again. Only this time, no mutant. I step out of the room... no mutants. Turns out they were all downstairs, ignoring the noise. Its like they KNEW i'd be waiting for them. They probably heard the scream from their brother dying upstairs.

WTF moment for me has to be seeing a deathclaw fly up into the air. I thought nothing of it until the bloody thing attacked me from behind.

I have two wtf moments.

Once when I was a level 4 and I first encountered evergreen mills! i was on the cliff, it hadn't even said i discovered the place yet and i had my hunter rifle and i opened VATS there was a 5% chance of me hitting this raider in the head for a critical head death wound head blow up....it was awesome

The next time was on the PC version I had made my character's strength 8....I grabbed the bat as I was escaping the vault and I hit the security guard ONCE and the Man fell off of his legs. both of them! Ripped him clean off!!!

I was just checking by Andale where I slaughtered the cannibals and when I walked by their bodies I noticed something moving and when I turned to check it out, it was one of their heads floating and it kept floating till it was about on the roof of the house by the shed (not the one occupied by the old man) and I recorded it on my phone for some strange reason xD

I have a question which also was a WTF moment, so I thought I'd post it here rather than opening a new thread.
I was just playing with a new character and the only part of the main quest I did was stepping out of the Vault. The only other things I did was helping Gustavo with his ghoul problem and wandering around.
Next I decided to go and clear out the shopping mall near Megaton (can't think of the name right now), not for Moira just for the loot. While I was in there I went to level 5. I started walking back to Megaton along the road when I spot an enemy on the radar at that house with the bathtub in it. I couldn't see what the enemy was as it was behind a small hill, so I figured it must be an ant which normally spawns there at low levels. What pops up behind the hill? A freakin Enclave Soldier with a Laser Rifle. Because I wasn't really expecting that he got me good with the first few shots, leaving me with about a third of my health, so I shot two missiles at him which completely missed. He didn't miss and I died.
I figured this was just a glitch, so when the game reloaded just outside the mall, I went back up the road. I come to that house and yes, there he was again. This time however I won.
I've played this game alot and I never met a lone Enclave Soldier so early in the game, at a low level and with so little of the Main Quest done. Is this a glitch or has it something to do with Broken Steel which I recently installed? (I'n on PC if it matters)

Spoiler
That spot actually becomes an Enclave Outpost much later in the game

It's a known bug, when you have Broken Steel installed and start a completely new game; sort of like on the radio Three Dog can't shut up about the Brotherhood kicking the Enclave out of a purifier and talks about a Project Purity you've supposedly not even heard of yet. Install the Unofficial Fallout Patch and it should go away. Furthermore the patch also fixes a lot of dialogue, lighting effects, etc. that were broken before because of some typos in the files. Three Dog also reports on more news, I think.

Cheers.

The glitches I dont think are funny. No matter what they do. I guess the biggest WTF moment I had is the whole Tranquility Lane sequence. I had no idea what was going on. Then in this confusion somehow figuring out that the items in the abandoned house made a strange ring when I tried to take them. They all sounded different, and then I matched it to the music and boom, there it was. I just couldn't believe I made sense out of that place.

Thanks, I suspected it had something to do with Broken Steel. I also caught a bit of that Three Dog when I continued an old save and was walking in the Citadel. I quickly walked inside so I wouldn't hear it all. Guess they forgot the spoilertags there. Now I remember why I usually kill Three Dog when playing evil, he just can't shut up.

While I don't know if this counts, my favorite random (though not really) moment was when I found the building with the Rube Goldberg trap in it. And me, being a noobish moron, walked with everything as they fell, eventually being blown up by the leaking gas, which was the first time I had ever encountered it.

I have one, but it's a spoiler if you haven't met 3 Dog. It's not a game glitch, just the result of a stupid player!

I got the game the day it came out and finished, but have just started it again with a new character (a Latina who fights with her fists). Since it's been so long, I don't remember everything, but it looks familiar as soon as I start.

Anyway, I left off the main quest to just explore around and found a vault inside a gas station or something and went in and just looked around. I knew it was too early to do anything there, but my GNR quest got removed and replaced with sit in the pod. I just left and kept on exploring, and at level ten decided to do some main quest stuff so the radio would work.

I got to GNR Plaza and Dogmeat and I took care of couple supermutants. When we got to the school we were still alone and had to wade through about 15-20 more, all on our own. We kill them all.

I enter the plaza, there's a huge explosion with stuff flying all around, and I'm facing a behemoth. No BOS, no blonde woman, no nothing. Not even the guy in the fountain with the fatman.

It's just my character, Dogmeat, and the rampaging Behemoth. Her weapon inventory consists of a pair of binoculars from a mod and a silenced 10mm pistol for sniping land mines. Sami travels light.

This is when I realized I screwed up my game by visiting that vault and it's not a mistake. She has no help, and scrambles up to the GNR building entrance and hides behind some sandbags. The Behemoth isn't coming after her, just walking back and forth in a simple pattern. I save the game ("temp") to see how far she can take this.

She runs over, enters VATS, and hits the Behemoth as hard as she can with her fists before running back to her hiding place. He doesn't follow, and maybe loses some hit points. Rinse and repeat, and after several more repetitions, she even manages to knock him down a couple times and get some free hits before dashing back up the steps to the sandbags.

Eventually, to my surprise, she manages to kill the Behemoth (woo hoo! 35 points!) and enters the GNR building. There's a couple BOS guys in there and she asks one why they're there.

"We're here to save your sorry ass," he says, and it was all I could do to keep her from going medieval on his ass and slapping him silly.

okay, near megaton, there are some raiders living on a freeway. i had just finished killing said raiders, when i turned around, and a deathclaw fell out of the sky next to me. Scared the crap out of me.

And, in the robot repair center, i wanted to know what happens when you lock yourself in one of those Protectron storage box things. Turns out, you get trapped with no way of getting out.
