Forum:Tragic Wasteland Stories

This is thread in which you can share your tragic stories from the barren wastelands of D.C.

My story is one of bravery and selflessness. As libery prime blasted its way across the bridge to the Jefferson Memorial the lyons pride followed heavily armed along with Nick: a battle hardened slightly insane wanderer. travelling with Nick was Fawkes and Dogmeat.

Upon reaching the other side of the bridge liberty prime took to the vertibirds while Nick picked off the enclave soldiers until something else came into his scope, a dog? Dogmeat! Nick yelled running up to the enclave that dogmeat was attacking. Dogmeat gnawed 2 soldiers to death and went for a third Nick had just reached the scaffolding to see his long time companion shot in cold blood. This is when the insanity kicked in.... nobody was left alive all dismembered and mutilated, Nick continued to the purifier Mr snip 07:55, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

'I was swimming around Rivet City with Dogmeat one day. He loved swimming. When i went back to shore, I noticed that he was still in the water, coming towards me. "Come on Dogmeat!" I said eagrly. However, I then say a dark figure rushing towards Dogmeat. Before I could warn him, it was too late. The Mirelurk leaped out of the water and sliced Dogmeat's head off. The head floated over to my feet, causing me to scream in unbelievable anger. Filled with rage, I pulled out the experimental MIRV and fired at the Mirelurk.

'Then, knowing there was nothing left in life with Dogmeat dead, I turned to Rivet City and nuked the entire place, inside and outside. Then I went to Megaton and nuked them, and Paradise Falls, and Canatbury Commons. I even nuked the children. 'Then I went to nuke the citadel. I had killed half the courtyard when suddenly, I heard a bark.' 

'There was Dogmeat, standing behind me!!! Honest to god, it actually happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ran towards him arms spread out wide, when I was shot in the back of the head. I lied dead there, with Dogmeat standing over my corpse.

And I died for nothing.' -Xandus

Well, on my way to rivet city with dog meat we met a few raiders how started filling dogmeat full of hot steamy lead, well anyway after the battle i was looting the corpses when a note came on the screen say dogmeat is dead so i turned around to see dogmeats body right next to a huge deathclaw. I was so sad i screamed and started mini nuking that son of a bitch, even when he was dead. ( I used up my 15 mini nukes on him.)I almost started to cry.--Deathclaw Killer 08:52, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

I did pretty much the same to the enclave sons of bitches. good to see that people care so much about dogmeat Mr snip 09:00, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

When I went to fight the Behemoth at GNR, I had Dogmeat with me. When the Behemoth owned Reddin, Dogmeat ran towards it and the Behemoth utterly crushed Dogmeat into the ground, then Dogmeats head rolled to my feet. I was like NOOOO!!! DOGMEAT! And nuked that bastard. DipCheese 09:21, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Wow that's sad. Dogmeat is like the most loved fallout character ever.--Deathclaw Killer 10:12, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Dogmeat is so damned death-prone I just leave him at home. Someone has to teach that dog something about self-preservation. And that fur is NOT plasma proof.--JiNX Bloodfang 14:23, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

While wandering the wastelands, I came across a small Super Mutant encampment. I noticed a blue blip on my PipBoy and quickly determined it was an unfortunate captive; I decided I would help out the poor sap. I was immediately attacked by two Super Mutant Masters with miniguns and two centaurs, which I dispatched with some trouble. Walking towards the captive, a explosion crippled half my limbs -- I was under attack again by two Brutes (one with rocket launcher) and a regular -- the captive would have to wait. I headed for the outskirts of the camp to take out the remaining three Super Mutants -- again with some trouble. No matter, I had done a good deed! I turned to free the poor captive, only to notice a Giant Radscorpion two steps from the bound wastelander -- he had no chance....I said a quick prayer for his soul and continued north.

Haha! Damn captives. Only reason worth saving them is for the XP. DipCheese 02:45, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I have a captive story, but it isn't exciting as the other guy's. I had leveled up and had a pretty strong character and I decided I would venture forth from Rivet City and exact my revenge on the Super Mutants that attacked me on my way to Rivet City when I was but a little newbie. Immediately the same guy that almost killed me last time opened up with his minigun. I ran out of cover and just started shooting him with my hunting rifle, at the same time slowly making my way to the walkway up to the bonfire. I killed him and went into the little rectangular area where the fire was. I notice a captive. I went to free him when I got shot from behind. Turning, I went into VATS, hoping to get the mutant, only to discover that right in my sights was a frag grenade not five feet from me. My choice was to either let it fall and wound me or to destroy it now. I destroyed it and shot the mutant in the head a few times to put him down. I turned back around, hoping the blast had not caught the captive...and there was the captive lying there with pieces of his legs scattered around. :( 75.39.248.15 05:39, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Just walking through the wastes with dogmeat at my side. I heard a bark... Turned around. He was gone. No where in sight. I searched for literally an hour and finally came across his dead body. I found his body near Rivet City. The last place i had seen him before that was a bit outside of Megaton. So how he got there i dont know.

dogmeat is a magical animal there you go Mr snip 07:51, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I was wandering around the wasteland with Charon and Dogmeat when I stumbled into Old Oney(sp?), I heard Dogmeat growl and looked up just in time to see a deathclaw charging. Dogmeat was sent flying with a single blow (still alive by some miracle), but I didn't know that. I charged the deathclaw and Fisto!'d him into next week.

I also had him with me fighting the behemoth, in which I also charged in a suicide rush. Sad thing is if Dogmeat or my character had a little more health we would have won. 72.226.139.220 16:02, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

I was somewhere around Rivet City when I hear a strange sound and saw some kind of explosion, and I started picking up alot of alien cells, (later realizing that this was the alien ship where I could acquire the firelance) and all of the sudden I am attacked and something is being fired at me and it is completely kicking my ass! I finally kill the perp and I find that she has the firelance. I had no idea what it was at the time and before I had a chance to heal, Talon Company comes right behind me and starts blasting away with shotguns. Needless to say they killed me and when I reloaded I went back to the exact same location and no explosion no alien cells and not even any Talon Company. At that moment, I died a little inside. 74.194.156.183 03:35, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh man thats crap.. Damn those Talon Company fuckers DipCheese 08:48, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Holy Shit!! This JUST happened. I was fighting the Behemoth near Evergreen Mills, (the one which you have to open the cart containing the Teddy to make it spawn) I had hid inside the train and crippled its Leg and then I ran out and started circling it and shooting it's face. Then, believe it or not, but Ben Canning (the guy you find in a random event who asks for water, I gave him some) came running out of no where, fists drawn and ran right up to it. Then the Behemoth spotted him, turned around and crushed his tiny body into the dirt. I couldn't stop laughing! DipCheese 11:12, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

I was up in in old olney or whatever and I told fawks to guard the sewer entrance and well...............he didn't get very far.LOL

Had Fawkes and Dogmeat with me, we were walking along behind Liberty Prime, just coming up to the Purifier. He stopped and stood still. I thought it was a bug, because there were about five Enclave soldiers up on the walkway that goes around the Jefferson Memorial, so me and my team of heroes charged up the ramp. Dogmeat managed to dismember one (literally, the poor fella's arm and head landed in front of me) and him and Fawkes ganged up on another one. That left three more. So I wasted two of them with my Chinese Assault rifle, apparently the last guy had enough, and shot a plasma rifle at my head. He missed, and as me, Dogmeat and Fawkes were about to finish him off, didn't Liberty Prime decide he wanted some of the action and nuke me, my crew and the Enclave soldier into the middle of last Tuesday. Just before my last save reloaded, Dogmeat's decapitated body landed right next to me. I think a little part of me died when I saw that. Run4urLife! 15:22, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

The story of Jacques, the cowboy of the wastes.

When Jacques left the vault, the only thing he could think of was all the cowboy films he had watched in the Vault. After a raid on Springvale elementary, he couldn't find a way to create a cowboy outfit out of raider armour. Disappointed, he headed to Megaton and found Lucas Simms. Simms asked if he knew anything about explosives. Sure enough, he did and Simms offered him 100 caps for the job. Instead, Jacques took the a spare cowboy duster and hat from Simms, and roamed the wastes, doing good. One day, he came across some salvers chasing down a man. They beat him and tied him up. Jacques asked about this, but was convinced by them they were 'rounding up the Brahmin'. Jacques sat on a rock and pondered this. He saved people from tyranny in the wastes regularly, but saw a hole in the concept of stopping slavery, which Cowboy's of the past allowed. He headed to Moriartys. Moriarty re-assured him it was fine, but Simms said otherwise. He gave him the location of a group called the Regulators, and Jacques was on his way. The Regulators trained him for 2 months on combat and ideals.

Jacques realised slavery was unjust. He found slavers and followed them to Paradise falls. Armed with Lincolns repeater which he salvaged out of the museum of History,and started some emancipation. He killed the gate guards and stormed into the main area itself. He took down two more slavers before running into a Guns store, owned by pronto. After a quick job of execution, he grabbed supplies to finish the job. He ploughed through most of the slavers and had dropped Jotun, Ymir and Carolina Red was wounded badly. The remaining slavers, consisting of Eulogy, Forty, Colver, Crimson and Cutter, took a final stand in Eulogys pad. Jacques strormed in and killed Cutter and Forty. He had Crimson and Clover rushign at him when he realised he was out of ammo. He flipped out his .44 magnum and took them down, but not before Clover had made a gahs in jacques side. Eulogy and Jacques engaged in a brief shoot out on the stairs. Jacques saw Abraxo cleaner and Nuka cola Quantam, a perfect recipe for disaster. He put the two of them in a can, lit it and threw it ant Eulogy. He missed, but the whole house was set ablaze. Eulogy rushed to the balcony. They had a stand off before two hollow clicks came from both mens gun. In a blind rage, Jacques tackled Eulogy and they both fell of the balcony.

With Paradise Falls in flames and the salvers dead, Jacques was proud of himself. However, he was bleeding badly, and did not think he would make it out alive. With what was left of his energy, he yanked the Slaev pen key off of Eulogy's corpse, and opened the slave pens, before collapsing, dead. The wasteland remembers Jacques effortless deed. The escaped slaves ran to the Temple of the Union. They were all taken aboard by Hamlin, and used in the storming of Lincoln memorial. When they rebuilt Lincoln statue, they engraved in the bottom of it

" To Jacques, the bravest abolitionist known to the Watseland "

The Regulators honoured Jacques deeds. A squad was dispatched to the remains of Paradise Falls to retrieve his corpse. He was buried outside the regulators HQ.

When word of Jacques death came to his father James at project Purity, he understood he died for a good cause.

I had killed half the courtyard when suddenly, I heard a bark. There was Dogmeat, standing behind me!!! Honest to god, it actually happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ran towards him arms spread out wide, when I was shot in the back of the head. I lied dead there, with Dogmeat standing over my corpse. And I died for nothing.

You know the way the Behemoth in Evergreen mill won't attack you if he doesn'tsee you and you come back in a few days, right? Well, I was running from a group of Talon Co. mercs (I ran out of ammo becase I brought the wrong rifle). Well, I ran past Evergreen mills, and who came to my rescue? The Behemoth. Then the bastard turned on me. It was a hard run back to Megaton, but I MIRV'ed the ungrateful bastard into last week. I actually kinda felt sorry about ding that to him. Then I found out that I'd killed Fawkes as he fired himself, and walked away. Run4urLife! 16:16, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Me and Dogmeat were on the way to Big Town one day to help them out with meds and ammo. When we arrive we walk into the middle of a firefight between a supermutant, a raider, and some Big Town people. I take out the weaker target first by killing off the raider. When i turn to shoot the supermutant i see dogmeat's body laying on the ground with a .32 in his chest. I frag the bastard and put 2 clips in his chest and a few bullets in his head. Dogmeats dead along with 2 other friendlies. Vats is fun 04:46, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

This is the same story posted in wierd things.

While adventuring in Rosevelt Academy with my super duper team, They dispersed chasing the super mutants. Because they're well armed, I went to looting while they did the work. Now, Sticky was part of my team at the time. He was armed with an epic dart gun, as well as the team uniform. After regrouping with the team on the second floor, i realized sticky was gone. I went on a search party. After combing the building twice, i left and weighted two hours. No Sticky. I went back in incase he got stuck waiting or something. I saw him dead on the floor. One leg blown off. Still wearing the team uniform. As well as sad, I still don't know how this happened... Lostsin 03:06, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

I had just reloaded my last save when me and dogmeat where in a semi trailer with many metal boxes, we walked out of the trailer and 2 giant radscorpions, 3 super mutant brutes, and a mole rat(only creature somehow still standing) were fighting I pulled out ol' blackhawk and went to work 3.5 clips took out the super mutants when one radscorpion came up to me and stung me, 6 shots down, the second crippled with one bar of health came up to me 1 shot brought her down, a message appeared dogmeat has died WTF NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I took out the fat man and nuked the mole rat 3 times. 10 minutes later by Old Olney Firelance crash appeared, spent 3 hours trying to find the Firelance and only found 2 alien power cells.Protectorhalstead 06:14, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
