Ok, hey guys! FalloutManiac here, have any of you ever had a "WTF, did I do that? Awesome!" moments? IF so, feel free to put it in this thread! :D I'll start with mine first.
Alright, I was in Bethesda Ruins(west building, first floor), and I had just taken out the turret that had been pelting me with bullets(pesky gun) and I saw a Raider coming my way. After putting some lead into my body, the bugger took out his Frag Grenade. But the good thing is, I had taken out my 10mm Pistol and V.A.T.S.'s him right as he took out his Grenade.So I aimed for the Frag Grenade and missed (sadly) But, thankfully, Right as I Had missed, my Action points replenished enough for me to use my 10mm Pistol one more time. (When I V.A.T.S.', he was just getting ready to throw his Grenade.) Then. BOOM! His hand, leg blew off.
I just thought this was a cool story, care free to post your stories! --User:Fallout3Maniac
Well, Last night I made a new char and I went to the supermarket to go fetch food and medicine for wasteland survival guide. I was sneaking around when the raider noticed I was there, and before I knew it about 3 guys where attacking me. One of them ran at me with a knife the other guy shooting and the guy who was running at me with the knife kicked up a shopping cart just before I entered VATS and when I threw the grenade in vats, the grenade landed in the shopping cart blowing up all of us, the 3 raiders where dead, and about 12 shopping carts flew across the shop like wind. But I had 1 HP left. Funniest thing I ever saw.

I was bored, so I started roleplaying. To be more exact, I was an rogue Enclave Officer with a hacked Mistery Gutsy(Sergeant RL-3). Walking near the West Farragut Metro Station, I saw an alley I never saw before. However it was a trap that fit my roleplaying nicely. An Enclave Vertibird landed in front of me, while an Enclave patrol of an Eyebot, Enclave soldier with Flamer, and a Tesla trooper with a Plasma Rifle appeared behind me. The Verti dropped off Hellfire toopers, so I took out my trusty Blackhawk. After taking out the Hellfire troops, I turned to face the Enclave patrol. The trooper started torching me, but I made a nice hole in his helmet. The Eyebot started shooting me, but I targeted the Tesla trooper first. The Tesla trooper loosed off 3 shots, searing my char's side. It was here that I realized that Sgt. RL-3 was nowhere to be found. I abandoned my attack, and started running across the street and found myself face-to-face with two Overlords armed with Gatling Lasers. They tore about 1/2 my health, when RL-3 miracurosly appears, and torches the Overlords, distracting them. I reload my Blackhawk, but for the first time, it jams, and the damn Overlord still targeting me chips away another 1/4 of my remaining health. Finally though, my Blackhawk sends the last Overlord to Hades. I begin to walk towards RL-3 to get my extra change of clothes for repair, when the Eyebot owns me in the back of the head.LW556DCJ 22:57, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
Last night I was on the elevated highway that extends past Arefu. From there, you can see Arefu, but there is a large expanse between sections of the highway. I decided to see if I could cross that gap by using explosives. Of course, I wouldn't survive the blast, but the visuals were hilarious.
What I did was drop 4 plasma mines, some pulse mines and a bottle cap mine (all I had on hand) at the end of the highway section. I then saved, and tried different means of exploding the mines while standing upon or near them. I had the most fun with the alien blaster or plasma grenades. The resulting explosions and dismembered, beheaded flying body images were spectacular. Yes, I was able to cross that distance between highways. I also tried flying into the nearby town. That worked as well. It's amazing how much time you can waste doing something so silly, but I was cracking up.
Here's one mid-air image that I captured with my phone. Not the greatest quality, but I'm playing on the PS3, so I can't screen cap the images.

Coming back from picking up Red and Shorty, I set them both up with Assault Rifles and Combat Armour. So theres me, Jericho and the two squirts making a patrol through the wasteland, all dressed the same and looking like a small four-man patrol. I was having so much fun, I thought I'd take the long way home for the BigTownians.... that is, until I heard the scream of a missile and turned just in time to see it impact in the middle of my two new recruits. Arms and legs go everywhere, leaving me and Jericho to clean up the raiders who had decimated my squad. I gathered the remains of my team and dumped them on a nearby fire. No mutie is going to eat my troops!--Ishotamaninnewreno 07:07, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
