Fallout Shenanigans

With the release of New Vegas forthcoming, I thought we could all use a thread to share our shenanigans with our fellow tropers. Who knows, your silliness may inspire someone else!

As for starters, I killed Megaton. Manually. With a Baseball Bat and a .10 millimeter pistol. Then nuked it for the shits and giggles. Money too. But mostly the shits and giggles.

I'd heard about Mr Burke being a douche and setting up a really annoying quest beforehand. So before he got a chance to even talk to me I whacked him across the face with a baseball bat using VATS which prevented his dialogue triggering. And then I killed him and took his stuff (His sweet sunglasses are still with me).

Also, after this for some reason the Sheriff wound up following me on my way to meet 3 dog and then took on a super mutant head on and died anyway...huh, stupid bug.

Also, Mr Burke must've prepared in advance because despite killing him the moment I saw him, he still managed to leave a message for talon company to attack me.

Carving people in half with the Gatling Laser from the first two games never gets old.

Other than that, there was the time I climbed on top of Lucas Simms' house and nuked everyone with the MARV, or the time I killed everyone in Rivet City with Blackhawk. I can't really remember many of my shenanigans. Most of my laughs come from the illogical decisions of my enemies. Case in point, The Pitt: At this point, I'm level 30, have all of the game's best equipment, Fawkes by my side, all stats at 9 and I can kill anything short of a Feral Ghoul Reaver, Super Mutant Overlord or Albino Radscorpion just by looking at it funny. I freed the slaves in Paradise Falls and annihilated everyone there at around level 15. I go up to the Raider encampment, and what do I hear?
"Hey, you're that sonofabitch that shot up Paradise Falls! I'm gonna enjoy this!"

You can imagine what happened next. On another note, who else is going to be playing New Vegas on hardcore mode?

Definite highlight for me was the Albino Radscorpion spawning in the middle of Arefu and killing pretty much everyone there.

I thought it was funny...until the rest of the Capitol Wasteland started treating me like I was the one who had killed them. Good thing I had already finished the quest there.

I love it how once you kill enough people in one town, the others just start to randomly forget. It's like they want to die!

When ever people talk about Fallout 3, a certain quest between a group of Ghouls and Tenpenny tower would come up. I could never contribute because I sent a shotgun shell into the head Ghoul's head when I first met him.

Bitch was taking too long at the intercom.

I once killed everyone in Tenpenny Tower for the fun of it. Using a special .35 pistol that I got from The Pitt.

\Didn't save, though.

^^ I felt the same. So I pulled a Takashi and batted the zombie freak's head in.

On another note, the shenanigans stealth crits let you get away with are hilarious. Tenpenny Tower is a wealth of opportunities. Have high Sneak, equip me trusty Stabhappy, lock the door and sell all the shit you nicked off their corpses to their friends when you're done.

Nobody ever notices.

High Sneak + Chinese Stealth Armor + Perforator Assault Rifle = Wasteland Splinter Cell = Massive Fun.

Chinese Stealth Suit + Crouch Button = Instant win.

I use Combat Armour and a Gauss Rifle, or just punch everyone to death, like a REAL MAN.

A friend of mine also killed everyone in Megaton manually. Using one grenade and his fists.

I find the best melee weapon to use from stealth is the powerfist, purely because everything goes flying when you punch it.

I once did a file roleplaying as the Punisher.

It very quickly became hilarious. You would be AMAZED how many people will confess to Punisher-worthy offenses to your face with the slightest provocation.

I haven't done it yet, so I'm not sure it qualifies, but my next playthrough will be done as Mr. Rogers. Gonna wear a sweater vest and give everyone a fatherly talking to.

*was gonna talk about Fallout 1 & 2 then notices that everyone talks about 3 and leaves like a sad panda*

The Glow in the very first game. Loads of loot, loads of high-end weapons, you need Rad-X to get through it (lots of Rad-X), you need to go to it to join the Brotherhood, and you can play chess with a Supercomputer! And if you play Chess too much, the Rad-X will wear off and you'll die of Radiation Poisoning!
