Things we learned from Fallout 3

42. Sniper rifles are good as reconnaissance tools only. Shooting at the enemy you see usually doesn't make sense, since their firing range is about 150 meters.

43. Vault security can't withstand an invasion of cockroaches. Which is not surprise, actually, since the 1st level character can easily dispatch all of them. Together with roaches.

This made trying to snipe the assclowns at Evergreen Mills rather frustrating. That and the fact that the sniper rifle's condition degrades at a rate nearly as alarmingly rapid as the combat shotty.

44. A civilian 25+ meters away can see you eyeballing that empty soda bottle, and regardless of the fact that you're practically the second coming of Jesus Christ Almighty and the best thing to ever happen to the fucking Capital Wasteland, he thinks you're gonna swipe the damn thing.
 
1. gas leaks still work after 200 years

2. Computers work in the wasteland. Without power. Without cover.

3. The wasteland needs no quality dialogues.
 
Being stupid doesn't prevent you from having a long life and kids in an environment that pretty much kills everyone else clumsy enough not to stack up on weapons, armor and supplies.

Raiders attack giant insects and heavily armed soldiers with pool cues.

Super Secret Government organizations are pretty clueless, sticking around in some hole while waiting for other people to try and change the situation in the wasteland.
 
If you look at a locked door, everyone will shout "ITS LOCKED FOR A REASON!"

People complain because you stepped on random garbage, but if you start throwing the store's inventory all over the place, no one will move a muscle.
 
Just walking against something can send it flying through the room.

Just dying when they are shot isn't good enough for some people, mutants, and mutant animals.
Sometimes they feel like flying away or into the air where they twist and stretch out while banging against various objects before bouncing away.

Even without being shot people and objects sometimes feel like flying.

Organs and corpses can be used in home decoration.
 
58. Even if someone wanted to blow up the entire town of Megaton, they will always have a house waiting for them there. In fact, savior of Megaton will get his ass kicked for trying to enter it.

59. The mines know not to explode on their owner.

60. Tunnel Snakes rule!
 
61. 200 years is not enough time for vegetation to grow in the ruins of a city. Only trees growing out of heads of unique mutants will grow.
 
63. Setting a dog on fire and blasting it with a shotgun won't stop it from attacking

(seriously, wtf?)
 
64. No one ever thought of scavenging, ever. The few people that think of scavenging aren't full of booty, for some unknown reason.

65. All weapons are kept together with duct tape, spit and gum. Even Enclave hardware.

66. Its possible to help a psychopathic AI to kill everyone, but its not possible to ally with the reasonable colonel who has a plan with 98% less mortality and 100% more intelligence.

67. Advanced Power Armor is made of cardboard and cheap steel in third-rate forges.
 
70. Corpses can sit for months under the baking sun and not rot, or cause any diseases among humans who live in direct proximity of them.

71. Robots will scour the wastelands for hundreds of years after nuclear war, without maintenance or refueling.

72. Tesla armor IS power armor - good thing we got that cleared up.

73. Power armor design changes design every few years.

74. Supermutants CAN use small guns.
 
75. Despite spending 200 years in a nuclear crap hole, no one has found out that filtering water through earth removes almost all the radioactive impurities.

76. Deep underground rivers are radioactive despite not coming into contact with with radiation.

77. The Chinese made the worst pistols but the best assault rifles.

78. Due to their seniority, Enclave officers are stripped of their armour in the field.

79. A town will forget your crimes if you wait three days right outside the town that you pillaged and murdered in.

Particularly interesting, since not a single weapon can withstand being shot or reloaded more than a few times. Those are some quality robots.


80. GECK is best stripped down and used as a water chip.

81. It took life long research to figure that out.

82. East coast ghouls lost their limp and learned to run. Fast.
 
83. A idiot can speak as well and fluently as a linquistic genious.

84. Giants exist. They are called behemoths. And they can live. And apparently they were humans. (there is no way a human of that size would survive - not to mention in a wasteland )
 
85. Washington DC has a kickass powerplant that can resist 200 years of nuclear apocalyps and still power the sewer and metro system's lights and doors.

86. Bobby pins can break into electronically sealed doors.

87. After 200 years of Nuclear Apocalypse, there is no need to urinate or deficate.

88. It is possible to withsand a 10mm bullet to the head, or maybe 5 10mm bullets to the head or more. Anything less will just piss off the target.

89. How to mod Fallout 3 into a better game.
