So I'm sure we all have created super cool scenarios for ourselves I'd like to read yours..mine goes a lil like this...flying in on a vertibird wearing your t51 power armor with your BOS companion to a highly fortified institute center where you will be retrieving some advanced tech...incoming fire ..you and your partner grab missile launchers off the weapon rack returning fire...dropping your missile launchers...you grab your gatling lasers, check the fuel in your jetpacks and leap out into sky...firing away as you make jet controlled landing....then proceed to eff sh1t up.....I.think I just got a lil wet lol

I boot up the game, enter settings and see an option to disable the protagonist voice and use a traditional Bethesda dialog system. I would genuinely cry tears of joy.

I get the game and play it. Best scenario.

Hot dropping into a combat zone in my power armor via vertibird! "Ready to [censored] some [censored] up?"

The most epic moments to me are when death is just a trigger away. In Fallout 3, I had a moment like that. I was wandering somewhere just south of a metro, and a bunch of raiders came out of nowhere. Cars were blowing up, I was making a desperate run for cover. My go-to weapon was out of ammo, and I was eating through stimpacks like candy, it was one of those moments.

At the end of the day, ten raiders were dead, I was out of ammo, my everything was crippled, and I had three little bars of life left. With what I think was enough junk food on my person to get to 10% health and limped back to Megaton.

That, to me, is epic. When you get broken and bloody, but you still walk away from a pile of dead bodies because they thought they had your number.

Edit: This one is more for me, on my part.

At the end of The Pitt, I confronted the dude, you know the one, and called him out on his plan to do the thing with the person and the thing that was going on.

It ended with him going "[censored] you!"

I entered VATS, targeted his head. To which I decreed to my television "...[censored] me? [censored] YOU!"

It was a short battle, but it was a very juicy peach.

I've had a few moments like that myself. As for The Pitt, that's the way I go everytime. I can't stand that dude.

Blowing up the Brotherhood's airship will probably be my highlight.

Discovering that the pre-war intro and your family aren't true!

Broken, battered, on my last legs. Out of stimpaks, wounds everywhere. But we're almost there, almost to Sanctuary Hills. My shotgun is spent, the empty shells littering the running battlefield, and the rifle was bashed out of my hands by one of those raider psychos. But here it comes, just one last mag in the automatic pistol, 50 meters left to the high walls of home. But I don't get to use that mag...

Why? Because the town guard have sprung into action. My body would not be the last on the long trail back to The Sanctuary. This would not be the first time than the finest I have gathered from across the waste would save my life, nor would it be the last time that the patrols had saved lives. Security is a hard thing to come across in The Wasteland, but the rebuilt town of Sanctuary Hills is making a profound impact on finally rebuilding the war torn Commonwealth.

Man, I cannot wait to get into Fallout 4. Just imagining what is possible makes my head spin.

genius

Using a BB gun to kite a super mutant until I blow his leg off, then watch him crawl after me on one leg for the rest of the game. I'll call him Darryll.

Oh, I like this one. An opportunity to destroy what will likely be Bethesda's white knights of the waste will be a moment I cherish.

But whatever. I guess it'd at least be damn cool if lasers sliced enemies again and they had a new gore system in place which sliced enemies at the angles you shot them at. Would be wicked to slice off the top of the cranium and as the NPC tips over the brain plops out.

But epic? Come on man. Nothing's epic.

Inb4 "Don't look at the dinasaur he's a grumpy old man, obviously trolling cuz Bethesda is flawless"

Nice post by the way.

In FO4 and looking for games on my Pipboy and finding FO1.

I'm not so good at thinking up epic events but one thing that would be truly epic is to be wandering in the wasteland and come upon a male Brahmin. Every one I've seen has been a female cow, leaving me to wonder - how do they reproduce?

That's all I've got for now.

Blowing the head off of a Super Mutant behemoth with a flaming teddy bear.

Installing the game.

Booting the game.

Starting a new game for the first time.

EXQUISITE!

I come across a sealed off Bunker room (and if anyone remembers the Doctors Surgery undernearth the bridge with all the Plungers in it), which looks abandoned for 200 years. The room has hundreds of Baseballs in it, and only one bat and a Shrine to the last program given out at the Baseball game previous to when the Bombs hit. There is a single old seat where you can sit down, and just soak it all in. You never find out why the room is the way it is and there are no Skeletons in it but its there.

The combat moments wont be the ones I remember, it will be the locations like the one above i will.

You see that airship in the trailer accompanied by vertibirds......I wanna be on that ship when my brothers in arms invade the heart of the commonwealth.

I will be on that airship, dont let my dreams be dreams.

I love the little places with their own little undocumented stories. Like the Gibson House. So sad.

I dont think my kind of place will be EPIC for most people. Like A Combat drop out of a Vertibird or something. They might be cool, but fallout for me (esp since FO3) is about the little things like the psycho on the bridge talking about bottling the sun, or Tomas out in the Mojave who made friends with some Lady who was interested in him simlply because he had Star caps in his possession)

I think it's the little things you find in the quiet moments that help make up the epicness of these games.

I love when you see an NPC doing something where the AI really impresses you. It's quite rare though .

Examples amigo, examples!
