Reminice

Just kicking around on Fallout (1) again, and keep doing stupid things that get me killed while browsing over the various and sundry forums (here and BSoft's) and I just had a memory of the first time I played Fallout.

So there I am in the Boneyard, I wind up saying something to piss someone off (or maybe I was just bored and shot someone, can't remember), and I wind up having to slaughter the town.

Mind you, this was before I started the BoS initiation stuff.

So I play through the game and all, and casually I'm looking at websites and stuff, curious to see how others fared in this game..and I come across hearing about Miles and upgrades on the Power Armor and Plasma Rifle..

Then I read where this 'Miles' person is, the Boneyard. My, rather loud, exclamation at the time:

FUCK ME! I KILLED MILES!! NOO!

Anyhow..All this stuff about Fallout 3 is what drove me back to playing 1 and appreciating it all the more.

Share your favorite flubs/fuck ups/moments of joygasm/etc..

My oft used story of wandering whatever the fuck that one shitty gang to the west of downtown New Reno. The one with the kids. When combat was engaged for no apparent reason, I passed my turn, Marcus comes up, throws a flare, criticals a child in the crotch, kills him. Combat concludes.

That's Fallout 2, but still.

As for Fallout, I'd have to say my ultimate moment of joygasm was gaining entry to the Brotherhood of Steel and learning about who they were and what they do. If the world ended I would risk life and limb to scavenge the Glow to join their ranks. They're the Jews of the post-apocalyptic world. They win in the end.

Pretty much the same for me, joining them was like my ultimate goal, the first time I played the game.

I actually stumbled across the Glow long before I hit the Hub. Aimless wandering. The massive radiation I got from it is what sent my newbness scampering back towards 'civilization' at high speed lol

I always loved tricking Gizmo. I hate that bastard so much, and I love blowing his chest out while he's behind that stupid desk. Die MUTHA! And I also love turning on Killian back at his store and leaving Junktown with all its loot and no leaders, good or bad... I'm such a naughty motherfucker.

And Dogmeat. Oh Dogmeat... I'm gonna write a beautiful poem for Dogmeat. My bestest bud. I would sacrifice 100 Ians for 1 Dogmeat. What a trooper, and the sadness of that dog is that you knew in your heart that he was gonna get ripped to shreds by a minigun one day. The beautiful and tragic fate of Dogmeat. A Vaultdweller's best friend.

Actually, while playing here a few minutes ago...

Yeah, poor puppy got in the way of my bursting assault rifle and got cut to ribbons while helping me take down Decker. Damnit..

Playing a Berzerker and killing everyone that pissed me off was quite the brilliance. In the end I killed the whole Wasteland iirc

Filth. Dogmeat should never die.

I once finished Fallout with Dogmeat intact. EAT THAT!

I remember spending what seemed like days to finally kill the guys holding BoS dude hostage in Hub. I either died by the auto-shottie or a cop got into combat and I had to reload from that.

I also wasted precious time taking caravan runs just for the one combat encounter that usually were mantis, at the time they were good exp for easy kills. It was not until much later did I learn the deathclaw trick in the hub.

I got Dogmeat to Muttie base and he died passing through a force field.

heh, i reinstalled it and playing it right now.

i have set my charisma on 2, which is pretty funny to play.
So there was this bitch Tandy locked up in the Raiders base, first i killed all the raiders members and then i freed that bitch Tandi, she was joking about me and stuff. Then i went with her back to Shady Sands, asking her if she wanna date me, she was joking again about me, so i killed like half of the people down there including Tandi, of course.

No OneÃ‚Â´s fucking with me!! NO ONE!! :Scarface:

And then there was some man called Hernandes or something, in front of GizmoÃ‚Â´s Casino, he was talking about his system and that i should give him 100 Caps to get more money back later. Later i got bored and wanted my money back, but that latin asshole refused, so i killed him, too. Awesomeness, plus no ones fucking with tha Don aka me.

My next plans are more kills, i dont know if this Fatal Damage Mod changed something, but killing is fun.

edit: The "No one fucks with me" - feeling in Fallout is one of the greatest things, when playing it again. If Bethsoft forgets to implement that, then ... its over.
