Tell us about your favorite or most freakish WTF moment from your Fallout 3 game.

I think this might have been some sort of freaky glitch in the game: I was wandering the wastelands once, when I got attacked by a mole rat and a raider at the same time while on the side of hill near an overpass. I shot the mole rat dead, then shot the raider, and after the raider's dead body fell over the mole rat's dead body, he started levitating in the air spinning at incredible speed. When I went over to his floating body, as soon as I touched him, he stopped spinning and floating, but I was killed instantly and sent flying a long way, fliping around through the air during the whole flight until I finally went SPLAT! into a wall. It was f*ckin' hilarious.

has to be when I was in the elevator in the washington monument, all was well until i got to the top and the elevator stopped but my body didn't. My body got crushed agaisnt the top of the monument and then the physics engine acted as a giant slingshot as my body was launched into the sky, as I went up I noticed that the stars where actually strobe lights lol.

i was in the DC ruins and a saw a super mutant get beamed up into the sky.... once in a while when i dismember someone their limbs start rapidly twitching on the ground.

I once killed a Raider while standing at the bottom of a Metro station... I shot him and he hit the stairs. The game must've thought he was still falling, because the Raider's body acted like he was having a siezure, twitching all over the place with the occasional flailing limb... I took VERY good care not to touch him while he was doin' his thing. Because I did NOT want WTF moment #1 to happen again.

I mind attacking a Behemoth somewhere and throwing one fragmentation grenade at it, only for it to be launched straight up and it was then killed it's plummet back down to earth. Which I counted as a very economical kill.

I was killing everyone in Megaton and when it was down to the last few, I suddenly remebered there was a guy on the balcony.

As I looked up, sure enough he was there aiming at me. I took my shotgun, took careful aim and fired. Suddenly, the physic engine went crazy and the guy went into "Stretch and Flail" mode at the entrance before being tossed over the wall like a slingshot.

A few hostile Megaton settlers and I simply stood there in shock before the fighting resumed.

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

That, my friends, truly is a completely crazy WTF moment. Congatulations!

Lobbing a MIRV shot at a behemoth then charging the behemoth with fisto!, completely forgetting about the MIRV shot. Me and the behemoth flew up past the top of the map together

Let's see...

I was sneaking in Tepid sewers, and there was 2 raiders. I shot one, the other ignored me, and proceeded to teabag the other one. Another time...

Super mutant shot with Gauss started spinning around his axis, slowly ascending. A short while later he hovered in the air, still, using his hands and legs like he was treading water.

Not really WTF more annoying was when the BOS killed the supermutant behemoth outside of GNR without my help.
Also standing in an old run down house when suddenly theres this big jet of fire hits me. I turn around and see a raider about a mile off dnt knw how he hit me suddenly my crosshair changes from red to green and my bullets wont hit her then she dies and goes into a spasm.

I had just gotten my Fat Man and was itching to try it out. I was wandering around The Mall looking for some Super Mutants to 'splode, and I found a group of about six of them in on of the trenches. There was a flag next to them. I blasted them with a Mini-Nuke, and their body parts were left strewn everywhere. Then I noticed the flag was glitching like crazy, waving everywhere, and I noticed it kept picking up body parts of the Super Mutants and launching them in the air.

Another is entirely repeatable. Jump off Tenpenny Tower, then as soon as you jump off, go to your Pip-Boy, then exit out of it. Use it again, right when you're about to hit the ground, and when you die, your body should go back into the air and fall a second time, then contort weirdly when it hits the ground. I did a backwards mid-air flip three times before landing a split. That was the best of those moments.

i remember going into lucky's shop and as soon i got through the door i was killed by a death claw ( i didnt know they knew how to open doors )

So, I was strolling ?round Old Olney, when (naturally) a deathclaw attacked me. I shot him with my trusty Victory Rifle. The Deathclaw fell on the ground, and then his corpse just flew. Then, his body spawned once more and, again, it flew. And then again. And again. And again... :confused:

I think it happens pretty often when a body or two falls to the ground out of nowhere when you fast travel to an area that just had a fight going on.

4 deathclaws chasing after me then getting killed by a mirelurk king.

Mine was bizarre. my lady had just shot a guy for no apparent reason (she's ike that) and he flew up in the air, turned into this rubber like character, stretched across the horizon with the longest and thinness extremities I have ever seen, similar to attached strings flying all over the place and started floating down slowly. It looked like it was going to engulf the entire landscape including my character. She flew outta there!

When I killed a Raider by Evergreen Mills his corpse fell and hit the ground, but the moment it hit the ground he was shot up into the sky. lol XD

Probably today. I was on an overpass and saw a raider coming at me. He ran by to attack my companion. So I turned around killed him with my repeater. Just when I turned around to head down the overpass a Yau Gui (sp) was charging about 10 feet away. Scared the crap out of me. I back peddled and fell off the overpass and died.

Unpredictable moments like that keep the game fresh. That was actually pretty cool.

I had one where I got up close and shot a dude with a shotgun in the back his left arm flew forward and glitched through the ground and got stuck and then he started spinning and flailing his legs like he was breakdancing.

Or this one time I was exploring I think The Capital Building when I came across a stair way with a SuMu and I was playing on VE at the time so I took a quick draw shot I swear right in the head right between the eyes. He fell onto his knees and stayed there for about 5 seconds fell backwards and then onto his side. It was epic.

[censored]in' Raider with a Firelance... :flame:

I walked into germantown and got my legs torn off by a dead skeleton who twitched when i touched him...

proberly when i first met with a raider walking with mach 1. he touched me. and i flyed sky high. i could see. california!

I shot someone in Megaton
When everyone turned hostile I used a stealth boy, so they became non hostile again.
However, everyone was still hostile to my follwer Jericho, who shot just about everyone who was outside
A WTF moment for sure, but it saved my evil character some ammo

Also when I found Canterbury Commons on my latest playthrough, I lobbed a grenade at the Mechanist before the fight began.
As he is invincible at that point, he lost no HP (but the robots died), but I could still loot him, which was bizarre.
He was hostile to me, but ignored me and ran off.

I sliced a guy's arm off wih my Shiskebab and he survived, but I could still take his stuff. Then, while he was running away, he ran right over a bottlecap mine I left lying around, and the rest of his limbs, along with his head, went flying everywhere after his body went flying high into the sky. His other arm(the one that I dindn't cut off) b*tchslapped me in the face when it flew, knocking me over and taking away about 1/4 of my health. :wacko: Then the rest of his parts fell on the ground, when his head let out with some kind of scream, which was wierd because he was supposed to be dead by now. And stuff. :blink:
