Tell us some of your best (or maybe even worst) experiences with the Fallout series.

In New Vegas someone found a way to make a rapid fire Mini Nuke launcher with unlimited ammo.

I went around the map destroying all i could find. Many good laughs were had.
 
I find it hilarious that when playing a dumb character and choosing a boxing name, you can say "me Big Stu", and Stuart Little gets all mad about it.
 
Completing the good Fallouts and watching the slides, of course. One looks back at his journey, and remembers all the moments one went through.
 
I liked playing Fallout 2, making a 10 STR/8 CHA female Unarmed character, and becoming a boxer named 'princess' who one-shotted her way through the competition with groin shots. Fucking priceless.

Related, what the fuck has happened to RPG humor since the 90s? Did game devs just collectively forget how to set up a good joke or a funny situation? It's pretty rare I laugh openly at a game anymore.
 
Hmmm, once I remember being so engrossed in the "Metzger's Chems" gang fight in the the Den......that I completely failed to notice the GF was "presenting" about 2 feet away from my face!

The lesson here.....I still play fallout.....but she is gone :)

Literally every 1st play through of a fallout game. I mean it was so dam wonderful to not no what would happen next or what you would find. I mean dam i'd give alot of money if someone could erase tat memoray so everytime i re-played a fallout game it felt like the first time
 
Possibly playing New Vegas for the first time and creating this scenario in my head where I was playing all the Factions off with each other, before just deciding to go with Yes Man.

Also doing Honest Hearts for the first time, getting ready for the final battle as I walked slowly in the rain as the song "Begin Again" looped via a glitch. There was something so chilling about that moment that allowed me to reflect on my time in the DLC.

And I know I'm going to alienate the whole forum here, but it was in Fallout 3, coming out of the Metro Tunnels during the Broken Steel DLC and seeing a group of Super Mutants and Raiders attack each other. The song "I don't want to set the World on fire" comes on the radio and I remember just blasting my way through these enemies while everything exploded around me.

Yeah yeah, I know, most fans will scoff at that and I usually would, but I guess it was a mixture of me being young and playing with that moment that lasted some kind of impression. I would rather have a "Begin Again" moment however.

I must admit also I had some great moments from fallout 3. I think it was because it was my frist really open world game I ever played also. Probably my frist RPG too. So it kinda felt little scary to be in kinda open world fighting when you don't know what the heck going to happen.

I remeber plently times similar yours that where good times but one time in perticular I also got caught up in beteen raiders and muties. The only problem was i didn't know how to heal crippled limbs so i had to limb through the firefight and explosiosn whent on around everywhere. I was just hobbling on through XD

I must admit fo3 had some more execting open world combat than fallout 4. In fo4 i just had some many stimpacks it quiclky became stale. Also enemys where bullets sponges compeared with fo3 when you actually had less ammo witch was a nice change. Same can be said of NV
 
I remember being shocked when my attempt to use that kid as a suicide bomber on his dad in fo2 actually worked.
 
Killing the leader of the Salvatores with literally any drug, making his heart go crazy.
I had no idea that would work, though they did seem insistent on him suffering heart problems so I thought, why not?
 
The various creative ways to eliminate the New Reno bosses. Rigging safe explosives, using drugs, having a kid wave a loaded gun in someone's face etc. That was a skill-check galore for those parts.

I'd say one of my best moments with New Vegas was in Honest Hearts where I was still trying to figure out what ending would I be choosing. Discovering the Survivalist's final resting place and the last log, I began reading to complete my collection of Survivalist logs. It was after reading it that I had this weird, crystallizing moment: I knew what he wanted to teach the Sorrows and I realized what I should do regardless of whatever arguments I came up for the other ending.

Another is the conclusion to the Dog/God story in Dead Money when the Courier attempts to initiate a split-personality merge. The dialogue for that sequence was simply amazing, very Planescape-esque and rather heartwarming as well (MCA probably played to his strengths while relying on his experience working on Planescape for that sequence).
 
In the order that I played them(spoilers ahead of course):

I can't think of a particular experience that really stuck with me, but it was more the exploration in general that I loved. :shrug:

Confronting Benny for the first time was quite satisfying. There was a long buildup leading to that confrontation when I first played New Vegas. I was so ready to shoot that prick in the face. It was great seeing him try to calm me down and reason, but I wasn't having any of that. I heard what he had to say and decided I couldn't trust him and would rather just get vengeance. I was ready to blow him to pieces whether or not I pissed off the Chairmen. It was a fun and gratifying fight. Tearing him apart or screwing him over never cease to give me pleasure. :newevil:

Seeing the Brotherhood airship for the first time after exiting the Cereal Killer's base(Kellog at Fort Hagen) was really breathtaking for me. I didn't know how big of a role the BoS would be playing in Fallout 4 at the time, so seeing the Brotherhood swoop in with a giant zeppelin and a fleet of vertibirds was really memorable. Honestly, I couldn't have cared less about the story in that moment, I was just taken away by the beautiful scene that was so well set up in front of me. I found myself standing still and slowly panning over the scene to take it in. As much as Bethesda failed at the crucial aspects of the game, I really liked that moment.

I loved interacting with the Master for the first time. The two voice actors working in tandem to create this ominous, creepy, and somehow relatable character was amazing. I was in awe at how well that character was presented, and the fact that this disgusting, evil antagonist had real motives that I could understand and almost respect. It was an intensely eerie and exciting moment. The Fallout games I had played prior to the original never presented a character so chillingly real or an experience so gripping. I will certainly be playing the original again, even if just for this encounter(there was a lot more I enjoyed and surely a bunch I missed). This was probably my favorite moment of the franchise.

I haven't finished the game yet, but I quite enjoyed going behind the First Citizen's back in Vault City to save the ghouls and the city at the same time by working with McClure and the people of Gecko. Lynette was a demanding jerk, but I wasn't going to let that stop me from doing the right thing. I had heard about how much other fans hated the First Citizen, so it was gratifying to circumvent her orders and do right for the ghouls and citizens. I was glad to have at least one kind, rational man to help me in a city full of cynical bigots and bureaucrats. Harold in his classic form was also interesting.

Yeah, i chose the BOS just for that.
But later, while treating their ship and Vertibird fleet like if the game was called Duck Hunt, I discovered that they have around 80 VB instead of like, 10 tops

I'm really curious where they could the materials and manpower to build such a thing. And I'm honestly quite tired of Beth's BOS so when they busted into the story like the kool-aid man my reaction was more like "are you fucking serious?"
 
Playing Wasteland Workshop.

Fuck, it was such a good DLC. I love pulling buses straight out of my ass. Truly immersive. A necessary edition to the already fantastic settlement system.

...

But seriously? Talking down the Master/Legate Lanius. It's amazing how investing in the right places has such a great pay off that's not forced. Your arguments make sense, you sound charismatic and intelligent in your arguments.
 
I was playing Fallout 4 on survival mode, level 12 if I do remember well (a bee can kill you). I've found a damm Super Mutant Patrol, and started running. A lot. I've found a strange house made of junk, with a single npc living in it. This npc was a barter, with nothing great to exchange.

Minutes later, I've heard the super mutants yelling. God dammit! I've rushed inside the house, shitting on my pants. All I heard was mutants yelling, and I was on sneak, "o shit, oh shit, oh shit!". Then, A grenade exploded outside. I was so freaked out, that the grenade sounded like a nuclear blast.

I've waited, waited, the silence, and the mutants were gone. I've spotted one walking away, and the barter npc, dead.

Survival is the way to play.
 
^Actually makes fallout 4 seem like a quality experience. But if I wanna sneak around because I'll die if something sees me I'll play alien isolation or the evil within. Though a fallout stealth game sounds neat tbh.
