Death by Nuka Cola

[Von Drunky]

Anyone ever try to put money in the Nuka Cola machine in the Greetings Office in Vault City?

 

[Ohaimerk]

Yeah, so? It just gives a not so fresh bottle of pop like most of the other machines

 

[Von Drunky]

It hits you for a few points and sometimes flies across the room. I thought that was pretty cool its also the cheapest spot to get nuka cola for those ultra stimpack. Anyone know if its a easter egg or some sort of inside joke?

No clue what it's supposed to be, I guess just faulty equipment. The phenomenon was covered in per's guide.

Near the car there's a working Nuka-Cola machine. Use a coin on it and you get a Nuka-Cola, and possibly hit for 1-2 points of damage by the violently ejected bottle. There are plenty of these machines in the game (working and broken ones have different descriptions), and you can get 15-30 bottles from each before they run out of stock. A Nuka-Cola trades for more than $1... but as a rule you'll want to convert equipment into cash rather than the other way around. However, Nuka-Cola is an ingredient for making Super Stimpaks later on, so you may want to keep this in mind, though chances are you'll have plenty more than you'll ever need anyway. Strangely enough, these machines replenish their stock every 1-7 weeks.

The one in vault city doesn't seem to be any different than any other place, same script.

Hmm. Just off the top of my head:

NOTE: Some spoilers ahead.

*feed cassidy a heavy drug or super stim and he has a heart attack(same goes with big jesus)

*a hidden garden area behind father tully's place

*A hidden dialogue path in vault city about fallout scripters being slaves if you have some insanely high stats

*A hidden dialog path where the chosen one tells vic to stfu with all the "Boss" talk

*Talk to torr while stupid

*On the first level of the rat caves, near where you first go down, there are mucho rocks. I never bothered to pick them up, but there's probably close to 20. There's also some hidden items down there, usually in dead ends.

*the chosen one makes a remark about european fallout not having children if you mention no children in VC to the nuse in the vault

*Lots of interesting paths in the vault city doctor jet delivery quest. You can tell him about it if you're addicted, you can bring myron along(iirc) and myron will fill him in, etc. Depending on what you do, he can make a jet antidote in a certain amount of months(the more info he has the quicker he does it)

*free books in vault city library

*If you name your character buffy and a female, becky in the den gives you stuff

*tell grisham you think his son/daughter is dead if you leave your spouse in any way and he has a heart attack

*You can use doctor skill on puking charlie for xp before giving him radaway

*If you unlock and open the door of the chicken coop in modoc and run off the map, he kills everyone in that part of town

*special perks for using the autodoc in vault city and drinking alcohol in the bar

*enclave talking head in gecko computer

*There's a sex doll in the building behind marcus, for typhon(I only mention because for years I assumed you had to get one from new reno) There's also a man in the east side of town looking for his wife(again, didn't know for years. I must have been drunk eavery single time I ever played through broken hills)

*Steal glasses from the scorpion in broken hills and give them to renesco, then bug him and he gives you the medical enhancement item

*You can talk bishop's wife into giving you the intelligence mind enhancement thing. I haven't been able to do it for a while though so I assume it's very well hidden

*You can talk to the guy that's in jail in broken hills and amaze him into changing his ways

*If you pick up the plated gloves in bishop's basement, you can
use them when you box

*Boxing in new reno can net you an ear if you're lucky

*Pimp your spouse at the porn shop in NR

*I've never done this myself, but, reading the dialog files, apparently there's extra dialog if you are on(addicted?) to drugs(maybe just jet) or alcohol when you try to make movies for the corsican bros

*Some stuff hidden in the NR ARMS basement.

*According to per's guide, if your stats are low when sleeping with mrs bishop she falls asleep in the middle of the act.

*play with algernon while stupid and pretend to shoot him, he keels over

*Possible to poison the wright's stills

*Super mutants in the military base talking about cooking rat

*Bare wire in the enclave maze, and the hidden thing by repairing
a special maze terminal



And that's all I can think of in terms of neat hidden details.

Cool details man, Fallout is full of these little interesting things what makes it a very great game.
