Forum:Your worst Fallout 3 moment

Fallout is a great game. we all know this. but sometimes something goes horribly wrong. we make a choice we regret much later so that reloading a previous save is impossible. we get stuck into doing something we don't want to do. We all know It's happened to each of us at some point, so tell your story here.

Anything is viable from epic bug conflicts (technical or radscorpion type) to really stupid or hateful acts. It's all for here.

Here's mine-

Early in the game, I wandered over to Tenpenny Tower. I blew away Roy Phillips (the Ghoul guy) with a single shotgun blast to the head. Weeks later, at level 30, I went back to the tower to complete the related quest. I discovered that, due to my previous, little-remembered act, I had no choice but to blow away his Ghoul girlfriend down in the tunnels. . I really thought about it, trying to get out of having to kill an inoccent Ghoul, even telling her that I WOULDN'T kill her in an attempt to circumvent my earlier mistake. Nothing I did worked. So I blew her away, too. Then, due to crashes, I had to do it again. And again. I hated myself a bit for that. Ugh. Nathan Hale 18:01, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Not my worst moment but pretty bad and it just happend. I was killing the Apodstles of eternal light (im role playing and my character has a hate/phobia of radiation anything exposed to it, see my user page and look under The Exterminator) and way, i'd killed the two ghouled wasters, Mother Curie and sun of Atom with ease. Then Atom's Champion came after me. I quick selected Miss launcher by mistake and shot it at his feet. Because it's a timed fuse it took a lil' to explode, i ran around the room to get away from him and BOOM. The missle killed mr. F.A.I.L. (P.S out of interest Hale, are you on the resistance wiki as well? I am)

When I went to save for my new character. I accidentally saved over my main guy, who had a LOT of good stuff and was level 29. DiarrheaDELUXE 20:13, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

muh worst moment ever was on my first playthrough ever. i was roamin the wastes listenin to the only station i could pick up (aka enclave) and off in the distance i saw what looked to be a well preserved grouping of buildings. i happily trot up to them, and discover (gasp) its abandoned. by humans, at least. as i wander, my health insantly plunged to almost zero, and as i super stimed, i turned around and BAM biggest ugliest thing i ever saw in my life Bam almost dead Bam close range Fat Man Blast Bam dead. found out later that i happend upon Old Olney. and met my very first deathclaw. after that, you can imagine my hatred of those evil beasts.

Every single time the system requires a reset after the game freezes over the stupidest things.

I've got a couple really. One's REALLY stupid, basically, after Broken Steel, I destroyed the Citadel. I landed in the vertibird, killed everyone around me, and headed into the citadel, where I was met by a MASSIVE crater and a huge wave of remorse. :( The second was in another DLC, this time Point Lookout. I headed to the Calvert Mansion with no power armour, no really good guns, as I always travel light when heading to new places. I then began the related quest, helping ol' Calvert to defend his home. And I was killed by the tribals. Repeatedly. :( Half-BloodPrince 14:05, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

I feel you're pain prince. I went in with a D-barrel s-gun, 13 shotgunshells, workmans coveralls and 1 stim. P.S. Level 4

 * I was using me evil character. Since it was my second playthrough, I would only save before I doing a new DLC. I didn't really care that much if I lost stuff. I had beaten Operation: Anchorage and later ended up in the Deathclaw sanctuary since I had never been there before. Once I had gotten everything like the bobblehead and Vengeance I went to the door. It wouldn't let me out. My game would not load the outside and it kept freezing. The last save I had was from a few months ago, before I had gone to Anchorage and before I had uncovered much of my map. I tried everything (emptying game cache, blah blah blah) but it just wouldn't let me out. I let the screen load for hours and it just wouldn't go. So I was like... Whatever... And I just loaded my old save. I didn't beat Anchorage again though, and I haven't gone back to the Sanctuary because I don't want to get stuck again. Lame. 00:20, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

So, for the lulz, I decided to spawn a buncha Super Mutants in Megaton and let them ravage the place, well, one thing led to another and, well, I'd accidentally overwritten my autosave and my quicksave decided to delete itself. My most recent save was made a week prior, so that was outta the question. So, I disabled the Muties in console and resurrected who I could (never found Jericho or the Settler who sits next to the brahmin). Now everybody thinks Lucas Simms is dead.

(If somebody could give me the base IDs to Jericho and the Settler who sits next to the brahmin, I'd be much obliged) StatusQuo 00:34, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

That's what happens when you cheat and use console commands.

Liam Spencer 01:37, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

Ha! You screwed up MEGATON. Tell me you at least you plan to blow it up to fix your file.

Watching Lucas Simms swan dive from the water treatment plant to the railing by the brahmin and land on his back...

or Not being able to trigger the Super Mutant assault on Big Town (before I discovered this site) and returning later to find everyone MIA.

Blowing up Megaton. But not because of the people who died. Because my dad said it was wrong hahaha Vault-BA 23:28, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

i used the chinese stealth armor/double hockey mask exploit to boost my melee attack skill up to 10000+ and was slaughtering the rivet city market, when i accidentally hit fawkes. i did not notice, and i saved my game, only to come back later and find little bits of fawkes splattered all around the area.

Kicked the crap out of a little girl in Megaton. Felt so ashamed of myself I nuked the place. ;] "I punch children"- Yum Brahmin 04:40, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Forgetting to loot Megaton before the explosion :(

Liam Spencer 12:52, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm. Spending 20 - 25 hours roaming Point Lookout and making a trip back to Megaton with some loot.....only to find that danged ferryman must have run off and gotten himself killed somewhere. I had not bought extra tickets and the only way to finish Point Lookout was to reload a very old save. Ferbil 16:49, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

One time ages ago before I got broken steel going to Gnr after I found dad and finding out the fat man wasn't there..poor dogmeat never stood a chance :( Knight Captain Kerr 16:08, 16 August, 2010 (UTC)

On my first save, I'd played for a couple of hours and followed Bryan Wilks into Grayditch. I found a Chinese Assault rifle so I went back to Megaton and sold all my stuff except leather armor and my assault rifle. I had just saved right as I started Those!. The quest completely screwed over my save as I died each time I loaded my save as I had sold most of my stuff and ran out of ammo. So I deleted my save and started again. I suppose that is just a minor one but sucked at the time. Other than that, probably my worst one was playing through all of Anchorage, did the Gary glitch for simulation stuff and all and then realized that I missed one of the Intel.My only save prior was before I entered it. --Silent.Killa78 11:44, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
