Forum:Things to do when you are bored

A list of things to do in Fallout 3 when you are bored.

Things to do when you are bored
Me:Maybe on your next account you shouldnt get paralyzing palm
 * Get a Rock-It Launcher and fill it up with teaddy bears and decapitate deathclaws with it.☺
 * See if a radroach can be killed with a fat man/Experimental MIRV
 * Make a class of raiders in the school in springfield by killing them and then putting them on the sits and your their teacher.
 * How do I wear mutiple helmets?
 * Run around the wastes using just the unarmed skill and see how much you can kill with your fists before you die..
 * Create "Safehouses" all over the wasteland, utilizing mines and using the mesmetron to brainwash raiders and enclave soldiers by threatening them with slavery, putting various armor and weaponry on them, then removing the slave collar (having a high science and the Chinese Stealth Suit a must) to make them loyal soldiers for you. If you want to fully convert a camp towards your side, it helps to save a lot during the process (after each successful "conversion") because you have to get a successful mesmetron hit on everyone without killing or making them go insane, otherwise they will just die and respawn as hostile npcs.
 * Go find a bunch of Deathclaws, dart them all with the dart-gun, then lure them across the wasteland having them kill everything in their path. Just be careful not to get too close to them :) 3rd person helps.
 * Find a settlement such as Megaton, Rivet City, Underworld, kill everyone who isn't useful to you, then keep only those alive who can either trade/heal/entertain you.
 * Decorate the drab, dull, and dreary wastes and make them fabulous!
 * Develop a split personality (i.e.: hero by day, villain by night)
 * Create a new character and kill everyone in sight who isn't invulnerable.
 * Try surviving with only one life, then make a new character once you die.
 * Be amazed at the number of times your game crashes without having saved (especially on PS3, damn lazy bastards at Bathesda)
 * Make your character look like the ugliest or creepiest butthole in the Wasteland by getting a facial reconstruction and making his eyebrows extremely low, his eyes extremely close, his face extremely fat, and his jaw extremely huge.
 * Tell Fawkes to wait in megaton then blow it up
 * Reach Maximum level (30 if you have Broken Steel) using Fawkes as a follower, then try and kill him. After multiple nukes fired from the MIRV, several thousand rounds of ammunition, a ton of flamethrower ammo, bottlecap mines, dogmeat and Jericho in t51-b Power Armor with Vengence Gattling Laser, and finally 5 Man-Openers (being repeatedly repaired using Auto-Axes), I managed to cut his head off in Underworld. Made me wish I had gassed him from the beginning. Try it out, good luck!
 * Edit the wiki!
 * Fill your Nuka Cola vending cooler as much as possible.
 * Pickpocket all ammo and mellee weapons from citizens in Rivet City or Megaton and then punch one of them to make them hostile and watch them. Alternatly, you can leave 1 person with ammo and the correspondant weapon and kill them to make everyone hostile and laugh watching EVERYONE scramble at once for the weapon and ammo.Vault4 15:01, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Use the Railway Rifle and shoot people's heads in Megaton in front of the atom bomb, this makes their heads stick to the bomb!! Hilarious fun.Vault4 15:01, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Throw all of your mines into the fountain in front of tenpenny tower, then shoot one.
 * Go on a journey across the outer edge of the map. only sleep/wait when you find a bed, and eat whatever food you can hunt. Its fun if you act like you can die.Rorschach DR1 23:28, October 14, 2009 (UTC)Rorschach DR1
 * Beat Fallout and Fallout 2 (while updating the wiki)
 * Use a sniper /revisters rifle and try to kill 2 or 3 things at once (point blank)
 * Follow a road and see where you end up.
 * Write an extremely long series of stories for your character and draw art work for it. (I am rubbish at art so I have not done the art work for mine yet.)Vault4 14:56, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * Create new Xbox 360 games: Stories, Artwork, Script etc.Vault4 14:56, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

 * Decorate your house with body parts
 * Sneak around settlements and listen to generic villager speech(some of them are quite entertaining).

 * Go on a wasteland adventure with Sticky (Are we there yet? Are we there yet?)

Carried the Alien from his crash site all the way to Megaton. Tried for a VERY long time (like a day total) to get him into Megaton. You can't go through the door. Found a way to literally "surf" him up the outside wall onto the area with Stockholm. However the Megaton behind him is the "developmental" as Megaton actually loads when you enter the door. So finally after realizing there was no way to get him inside, I just placed him in the bathtub by the merchants. (Tried sitting him in the little chair to the right of Deputy Weld for hours, but he just wouldn't sit right.)Angelonedge 02:21, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

How to make a Gnome Shrine - First find a gnome, damaged or intact, depending on your taste. Place it in a nice part of your home, then get a chess board. Flip the board over and set it in front of your gnome (This will be the base fore your shrine). Place a skull in the middle of the chess board, with an offering of a harmonica and some pre-war money on each side of the skull. Lastly place a paperweight/whet stone on the back end of the board. This gives the appearance of a small alter were you could set some other misc item to offer to your bearded friend. And there you have it, a Gnome Shrine.
 * Lol, okay so this was something I just did one night when I had just finished collecting all the bobble heads and felt like screwing around. On the character I was playing at the time, I had converted the extra room in My Megaton house into a butcher shop basically. Having a small pile of limbs and such in one corner and all my fancy knives and melee weapons arranged nicely. I decided to slip a gnome in the other corner of the room...which added to the creep factor, when I thought back to my hardcore Oblivion days, with the nightmother ritual you can find in someones basement--so I decided to make my own for Fallout. I put together the little shrine for my crazy character. I also hid a bunch of the tiny gnomes from the Sat-Com Array tower around my house. It made it look like I had a bunch of little helpers. It's real fun to do when you've done most of the other stuff on this list, and if someone wants to, post pics if you can...I would have for you all but I'm on the 360. Have fun --Esscex 07:10, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Spell or draw something on a large scale with frag mines on a flat surface, then go up high and shoot one and see the shape go up in smoke. Try it from the top of Tenpenny Tower or a Satcom Array :) Kind of like a Dommino push, you could even try putting gnome on each mine for a laugh. Gunner Bill 16:00, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Close bodies half-in and half-out of the Super Mutants' shopping cart cages. You can get the limbs to stretch and distort in some interesting ways. Cutting the limbs off will sometimes leave you with wastelanders with three foot necks. -Lambent Sylar

A couple of weeks ago i found out a really fun one in Dupont Circle. In a section of raider house things there is a pulwouiski preservation shelter, put a raiders body in it and close it on him. they stretch out to like 3m kinda like Lambent Sylar with his shopping carts Silent.Killa78 >:) 08:01, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Use the G.E.C.K. to make a new weapon, like a minigun with five times the normal rate of fire, zero spread, unlimited ammunition, and a scope, then wander around the wasteland turning things into paste.Imp of the Perverse 03:07, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Lmao, a scope on a minigun. Your arms would get pretty tired holding that up to your eye and aiming. --Esscex 07:56, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's more logical than a Scoped .44 Magnum. It would make you blind, for Christ's sake! 80.232.90.111 11:03, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

It's possible to customize a .44 magnum with a scope, though.162.84.244.53 15:30, 10 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I was just picturing something like night vision goggles with a targeting reticle, if you're trying to come up with a plausible way to put a scope on a minigun. The gun's not going to turn with your head, but if it projected a dot onto the target with an I.R. laser, there's probably a way to have the goggle's optics paint a crosshair in the appropriate place, and maybe pan the image to keep the crosshair centered on your field of vision. It would be disorienting, but better than nothing. Oh, and I added the Tenderizer's damage resistance reduction effect, so mirelurks blew up pretty quick.Imp of the Perverse 21:56, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, but it is not advisable. First, it would become clunky to sheath and, in general, carrying around. Second; The Magnum is designed to be a devastating short to middle-range weapon, not a pocket sniper. And lastly, it would be a problem aiming through the scope, unless you want to get the damn thing in the eye when you fire it, while you are in the risk of breaking your fingers due to the recoil of the weirdly held hand weapon... AngryNorwegianDude 16:58, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, my name is PlasmaFox, and I've studied and used firearms for probably a lot longer than all three of you have, combined. Just to let you know, revolvers have had scopes outfitted on them since the 19th century. Unlike semi-automatic slide-operated pistols, revolvers can mount scopes. Revolvers using heavy-grain, large-caliber bullets like the .44 are generally quite accurate, because the heavy bullet is not affected as much by drag and friction. The extra gunpowder a .44 Magnum cartridge can store usually means revolvers have a higher velocity as well. The reason this is possible is because revolvers store the ammunition in front of the grip, in the cylinder. Semi-automatic, slide-operated pistols, on the other hand, almost universally store cartridges in a magazine that is seated inside the grip. A large, long cartridge would make the grip fairly wide and uncomfortable to wield. Ever try to hold a .44 Magnum or .50 AE Desert Eagle efficiently? I haven't, because I personally loathe the Desert Eagle and it's way too expensive for my tastes, but I can tell you just from watching videos and looking at photos that it's not as easy as it looks in the movies. So, most semi-automatic, slide-operated pistols end up using shorter, smaller cartridges, and thus, they do not have such a heavy bullet or gunpowder for velocity. Which is why it is absolutely perfectly logical to mount a scope on a high-caliber revolver. By the way, you mean "holster", not "sheath". PlasmaFox 17:56, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * As an afterthought, it's also fairly easy to aim down a scope attached to the revolver. What you do NOT want to do is have the scope right up against your eye when you fire, on ANY firearm. I've seen people do that before, and they develop a lovely bruised ring around their eye socket. What you do is just hold it like you normally would hold a firearm, and look down the scope. It might not look like what you see in the movies, but it's never like that. Most people in real life would have the scope 4-6 inches away from their eye. PlasmaFox 18:01, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

OK, Plasmafox. I am sorry and ashamed. I have never actually held a .44 Magnum, the closest I have gotten is a BB Gun (also called an "air rifle" in Norway). Please excuse both my ignorance and my bad choice of words. As you are clearly more experienced than I am, I must pose some questions, just to end this subject (that is my silly, half-assed comment about something I haven't studied): How is the recoil from a Magnum (in comparison to other firearms)? Is a scoped Magnum as reliable as another scoped weapon? How far can a Magnum shoot (maximal target distance)?

Thanks in advance... AngryNorwegianDude 10:53, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

a .44 magnum with a scope is moderately easy to handle as my S&W model 629(stainless steel model 29) has a red dot scope on it. the scope reduces recoil enoughto make it managable..44 wanderer

I like challenging my friends. For example, killing a behemoth, without armor or any type of clothing, with your bare hands, and on very hard difficulty. P.S, no one could do it but it was all out of fun.

Game glitched after 14 or so Pre-War money transers. I was super pissed. I had done some other "mods" to my room (360) and shit glitched when I started moving around FO3 Lunchbox (9)... V.A.T.S. addict 06:21, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Here's my list of fun things to do. D3V0NST8R 9:11 P.M., 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Take some Jet if you're low on AP, go to the Tenpenny Balcony, jump off, and then turn on V.A.T.S. on a resident with a switchblade (for miminal damage) to prevent fall damage, and then put it away to undo the hostility.
 * Go up against a Behemoth with no armor, no aid, a BB Gun (your bare hands do more damage), and headshots only.

 * Build random 3-D objects using Frag Mines.
 * Pin the unarmed Behemoth to some part of Evergreen Mills using a Railway Rifle.

I was straightfaced through the entire thing until I read this "Punch every single character you meet in the groin till death, then T-bag" RockandRhyme 02:35, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I like to give myelf the liberty laser then rampage through rivet city killing eveyone on sight.

Collect random junk like the large teddy bears, pool balls, and other thing and fill you house with crap untill it explodes with crap. Five Star Genral Of The Dead BigDog 00:16, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

put all the frag, plasma, pulse, and bottle cap mines that you've saved up in your travles in one spot at the corvega factory parking lot, get sticky to walk on top of them, grab your combat shotgun and watch him fly to the moon :] Hero of the Wastes 3:35, August 8, 2009

--Magic Duck 01:58, September 6, 2009 (UTC) use the multiple followers glitches to get every companion then get the big town people to follow you to an abandoned building and set up a base of operations for your charecter compleat with whinny annoying guards and a small army of super soldiers then go wipe out whole citys or eradicate the enclave from any locations you may find them in.
 * Reverse-Pickpocket clothing and armor onto the little lamplighters. I have Zip wearing power armor. It's funny and cute to see a mini-paladin running around.
 * Afterward, pickpocket their old clothes, then run around the wasteland looking like an adult-child. Pwn a behemoth in scout's clothing.
 * Go into a crowded building, kill everyone, then drag their bodies into one room. Throw all your mines on top of the bodies, throw a grenade in, then close the door. Limbs galore.
 * OR kill everyone, trying to keep their bodies intact, then use them as dolls.

Or

Save at lv 14 and take both the Lawbringer and the contract killer perk and go on a mass murder rampage killing everyone in the game and cashingin their fingers and ears for a hellofa lot of caps.Antily3f 04:38, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

--Lugnut&#39;s Leftnut 18:30, September 8, 2009 (UTC) I really enjoy having fun with Harkness. Take out the Guard next to him from a distance and once you go back to hidden time to go play. As Harkness is invincible it's great fun. Once he's unconcious pick him up and chuck him off the rivet city bridge, (but do it quickly before he wakes up)and laugh as he swims around rivet city, with you taking pot shots at him, like shooting fish in a barrel. Throw him slightly back and he land on the lower level of the city and be highly unimpressed about it. Or play harkness bowling, knock him unconcious from a distance, quick switch to a grenade (or other explosive device) and try and land it on him and see how far you can make him fly. I've managed to "bowl" him off the bridge onto the rocks below. --Lugnut&#39;s Leftnut 18:30, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Wasteland Safari...

Go to Megaton, Kill all residents, then t-Bag Deputy Weld ;) -- User:Fallout3Maniac

Walk across the map hacking apart every person you find with athe dismemberer, tAntily3f 03:48, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

Store all your weapons, armour and ALL your equptment in your player house then fast travel to a war-zone, (like the capitol building) and attempt to survive the 3 way battle while scavenging the basic armour and weapons from the talon company mercs Mr Smiles

Talk to Bingo "Bingo?" "BIngo." Bingo?" BINGO!"

Take off all my clothes and beat everything i see to death with my bare hands Banana420

Fun with weapons:
 * Create the Rock-It Launcher, take the Bloody Mess perk and shoot everyone using Teddy Bears.
 * Create the Shishkebab, attack someone in a gas leak and watch yourself explode.
 * Create the Railway Rifle and pin weapons, body parts, various items in your house.
 * Create a Nuka Grenade on yourself while in first person, trying not to die.
 * Create a Bottlecap Mine and throw it down Tenpenny Tower.
 * Create the Deathclaw Gauntlet and attack a Deathclaw using it.
 * Create the Dart Gun and shoot darts on Wasteland Survival, poisoning them to death.
 * Use an Energy Weapon, kill a Behemoth with a critical hit, then watch it reduce to a pile of dust.
 * Best of all: use the G.E.C.K. to modify the Gauss Rifle, increasing his distance to infinity, change the settings of the game to give you infinite view, then use the Rifle to S.P.A.V. Deputy Weld from the Washington Monument. Then laugh and watch your game crash. Brabantis

Uncover the map marker for vault 87, then give the mapping data to riely, only to discover that she pays the usual ammount for it. hack her to pieces with the dismemberer screaming "you know how much F#$king trouble i went through to get that!!?" then T-bag
 * Mod a minigun with 100x the fireing rate, make it fire unlimitedly, then make it fire full sized nukes, if the wastelands gotten boring for you...start another nuclear holocaust! then if you dont like the new world, do it all over again, viva la revolution!Toolazytomakeaaccount 18:57, November 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Stack a bunch of items into a big pile or pyramid, then shoot them with a minigun!


 * Start a new game and only kill when it's necessary to finish a quest.


 * Try being neutral throughout the entire game, and try focusing on skills you never focused on before, like explosives or unarmed, or whatever you're not used to.

Create a new Charecter and only use Mines to kill your enimes its a bitch to do but funny when a shit load of supermutants get blown to bits in a tiny dooor way. Antily3f 16:50, November 12, 2009 (UTC)


 * Play Dragon Age: Origins. LVTDUDE 18:10, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Just before exiting the door... "Hate to love you and leave you Betty, but how's an eternity of being a punching bag for 7 Chinese Commando's?" "What goes around comes around, they say."  phoenix    txt    xp   05:30, March 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Get naked except for a ghoul mask. Then kill everyone with a deathclaw gauntlet and eat them like a zombie.
 * Cage house guests with the Raider Theme. I caged Sticky next to a locker in my megaton home and gave him the ghoul mask. BAD Sticky! Wadsworth was trapped in the one upstairs. Too bad it won't work with Bumble... : P Chung Shui 03:33, March 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Unleash the full force of the Chinese Commando's against Betty in Tranquility Lane. Try pick-pocketing all their ammo first :)

Gather Together Every npc in the game that can be ordered to follow you take them all to Megaton. Tell them to wait. And ....... '''BLOW THEM ALL TO HELL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!1!!! Sheepbiter 11:57, March 9, 2010 (UTC)'''


 * Start on the far East end of the map and head west. Pretend your name is Eli and you have an important book with you...-Calicocidd
 * Run around Megaton with some guy's head and throw it at people.
 * "accidently" Fire a mini-nuke at Fawkes


 * Try to take down a behemoth with your fists and no armour (could work with the right skills and perks!)
 * Kill someone:P

Play another game....Azzaman 04:35, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Damn right. --Cartman! 00:11, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

I JUST WASTED HALF N HOUR OF ME LIFE READING ALL THIS LOL................spose i may as well add one now..........................start off with a giant teddy put it on the bottom floor of your house and then try to alphabetically place items from largest to smallest ontop of the teddy to create a tower until it reaches out your chimney and the wind carries the switcheblade ontop of the pile right into the atomic bom thus killing that dumn atom worshipper that tells you to go radiate and ghou;ify yourself in the atoms water oh and i spose itll kill everyone else to (not everythings perfect XD)

My favorite things to do when bored in FO3 is:

Remove my PC's clothes(and since I have a body mod, that's completely nude), then have a swim in the Tidal Basin post Take it Back!.

Grab an AK47, a suit of power armor, 300 rounds and a frag grenade, then play a round of CSS with some raiders.

Use a crowbar on a Behemoth

Browse fallout3nexus for more mods to install

Ponder the awesomeness of being able to retrieve some proper music(Think Metallica, Alice in Chains, etc etc) in a quest(Maybe even involving a trip to Nashville?)

Wonder why my game crashed this time

And finally.....see these screenshots: [] [] [] [] [] TestECull 15:30, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

Dude, seriously, do us all a favor and don't post any more gigantic screenshots. Just add the link next time. I changed it over for you this time. Knight Captain Ski (talk) 15:46, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

I didn't know this place took a raw URL and hotlinked the full image from it. I thought it just put a clicakble link. Geez. TestECull 16:19, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

No big deal, man. Now you know. Knight Captain Ski (talk) 16:45, April 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Go find a bunch of Deathclaws, shoot them all with the dart gun, then lure them around the wasteland, killing everything in their path.
 * Cripple your legs and walk around in third person.
 * Talk with Uncle Leo
 * Kill Uncle Leo
 * create a mine feild in megaton on top of the sheriff's house then shoot someone from the balcony and wait for them to come up to fight you
 * Kill everyone in Vault 101 during Escape and stay there, never leave. It&#39;s a shame that Blobbersberries can&#39;t get the signature to work so this&#39;ll do. 00:24, June 17, 2010 (UTC) I only take credit for this bullet.

Play the game and act dramatic, pretend you are actually being chaced by a deathclaw.Patriot guy 00:31, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia: A friend or acquaintance you associate yourself with »companions%20
 * Epic thread. Get all 8 followers (Butch, Fawkes, SPC, Charon, Jericho, Clover, Sergeant RL-3, and Dogmeat or Dogmeat's Puppy) and take screenshots or digital camera pix of them in various locations around the CW. Then post to your FO wiki homepage. Also experiment with various outfits and looks. WIN!
 * For bonus points involve temporary followers like the Falls Church Paladin, Red, etc.V.A.T.S. addict 21:38, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

I've compiled some of the best ideas, along with my own, here. Check it out. =) Telos 11:25, July 3, 2010 (UTC)#

Cow-Tipping: Crouch, unequip weapons, put your fists away, press A. HAHAHAHAHA BRILLIANT :D

Go around killing people with a Combat Shotgun WITHOUT bloody mess, while sneak, and watch the backflips!

Spend several days in the Washington Monument going outside then pushing back the attacking super mutants. This is super fun! Sombar1

Have your fallower wait at the base of a cliff then kill yourself by jumping on top of them. also try having a fallower wait in old olney before you have killed all the deathclaws. oh and make sure that your fallower has no equipment and keep them between you and the deathclaws mmmmmmmmmwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa..........................Rohtvak

everyone should try rock climbing when bored.........................................Rohtvak

Crush a Radroach with a sledgehammer, and it will likely explode. Mcelf

W/ Broken Steel: Change the neding of Fallout 3 in the favor of the Enclave, pickpocket Enclave armor and weapons. 17:47, October 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * Have a cage match with the evergreen mills super mutant behemoth using only your fists !!!!!!

Kill Dogmeat. It took me 3 tries to do this. I took out my missile launcher, hit him 20 times, he didn't die. I took out my Super Sledge, hit him 10 times, took out my CAR and shot him 450 times. Not dead. Take out my Tesla Cannon and shout 180 suckers at him. Not Dead, but close. Take out my MIRV and shoot him one time with 8 mini-nukes. Finally, he dies. Just in case, I take out my Silenced 10mm pistol. He's dead :D The Unknown User 03:12, November 27, 2010 (UTC)

Play Fallout New Vegas. Duh. Sombar1 04:27, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
