Quite simply, what are some of the things that you just do while playing the game, be it subconciously or otherwise?

For me, one of the things I always do is turn on every HAM radio I see (if it isn't on already). The only exceptions to the rule are a few of the radio towers - Yankee Bravo and Oscar Zulu in particular, though for differing reasons.

In addition, if there's a terminal to unlock a door/safe/whatever that can be hacked (and the door/safe/whatever can be picked), I do both operations if I need some quick XP. At or near level 30, though, I just use the terminals, since XP becomes meaningless. Titan AEX4 20:40, August 27, 2010 (UTC)

I blow up every eyebot that I see. I don't even know why.Ketija998 10:41, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

In addition to blowing up any and all eyebots I see, I also turn off all Enclave Radios I ever see (and usually GNR radios to prevent echo, since I'm already listening to it). The Enclave Radio is to prevent a certain crash that occurs whenever a certain speech is heard played within the range of my player. Like Titan, I also hack AND lockpick AND steal the key (from the holder) for most doors/safes.

Also, WHENEVER I become overencumbered, unless I am almost to a trader or storage area, I almost subconciously run through my pipboy and decide what is worth the least/what I can find again, and drop it, so I can use fast teleport and run some more. That's just me. None223 01:33, August 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah, that's something else I do as well - shut off all Enclave Radios, while declaring, "Shut up, Eden!" =P Titan AEX4 02:06, August 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Heh I wish I could shoot radios to turn 'em off, even if that would be permanent! Kris  mailbox 02:07, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

I'm a compulsive hoarder... I just can't help it! If an item is worth more than 1 Cap per WG, I have to take it. Not necessarily to sell, but to hoard in my locker. I have silly amounts of assault rifles and merc outfits, as well as pencils (those are great, because they don't weigh anything!). I hardly ever move faster than at a slow lumber, due to all the - let's face it - crap I carry around. Cathmelar 13:58, August 30, 2010 (UTC)

I almost never take any followers with me when I go exploring, as I enjoy just hiding and listening to the enemies talk, so the only time I take followers is when I know there is going to be a large and unavoidable fight ahead.

I'll usually use a combat-knife as a CQC weapon, despite the double-barreled shotgun being a more obvious choice.

I tend to use fully automatic weapons, as I'm too impatient to wait for another chance to fire.

I always carry all of my weapons on me at all times, no matter where I go. It seems that I'm the only one who does that. Olney Dweller 11:17, August 31, 2010 (UTC)Olney Dweller


 * I carry almost all of my weapons with me at all times, usually just leaving the Fat Man and a few other weapons that I seldom need. It's a lot of weight, and usually very unnecessary! But... you never know! : ) Cathmelar 11:27, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
