Forum:Weird things in Capital Wasteland

What weird things have you seen in the wastes? At Mama Dolce's, outside by the trucks, face the building and look up. You should see a car on the roof. WTF how did it get there? And also i've noticed all the cars have no wheels on them. Sasquatch99 22:31, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I think mutants decided it would be fun to take off the wheels and roll them down a hill to the west of capital wasteland. Gabriel Cortez 00:36, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Dead Yao Guai, appearing as if it was sitting on it's hind legs. Damn stiff ragdoll.

I've already said this, but when I was approaching the Super-Duper Mart, I spied that Wilks kid running towards me. Out of nowhere, a car falls out of the sky & lands on him. Damn indestructible children... Pararaptor 08:12, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I've encountered a bug several times on the PS3 when a less-than-deadly robot such as a protectron or robobrain spawns along with a power melee monster like a yao guai or deathclaw. If I'm a good distance from the ensuing carnage, and don't actually watch it happen, the robot will, upon death, appear behind me and bounce and roll into view as though the monster had bat it around the world! It's funny pretty much every time. --DGoose 03:42, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

I was patroling the wastes with my squad (Sticky, Butch, and Clover) and out of nowhere, Sticky walks into a car and it starts spinning and it hits and kills him! Later on, I told butch to leave. Then when I was doing the Take It Back quest, I found him dead on the road missing an arm! R.I.P. Butch R.I.P. Sticky-FalloutFreek

Want to talk about something weird, i dont know if it belongs here since it happened on the spaceship, but i am standing in fron of 3 aliens and they are not the worker aliens and they are not attacking me, and i am in steamworks after i already beat the Zeta DLC---Drop-Zone- 11:34, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

I was messing around in MZ Engine Room when I see a red tick mark. I was pretty sure I had already cleared it out but I checked anyway. It led me to a pile of ashes by a teleporter and when I searched it and got Alien Epoxy a message came up that I had been caught pickpocketing! I used vats and got 95% with a grenade and all 0%'s with a gun. When I would shoot it, DANGER would flash and the Alien would jibber-jabber and the health stayed at 1 bar. Thought it was funny.

Another weird thing i noticed that was weird, i was walking by Fort Bannister and when i was walking towards the road, a car out of nowhere just flipped up in the air like it was blown up but there was no fire, no explosion, and noone was around when it happened.---Drop-Zone- 13:13, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Spawns can lead to some weirdness. I was wandering through the wastes recently when I heard an explosion, and then a dead radscorpion flew past me through the air. LOL, I never found out what killed it. I also ran into a double spawn of Talon Company Mercs -- maybe 7 of them -- while I was around level 4 and short of ammo.DreadPirateMurphy 16:10, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Fawkes decided to go a little nuts in the wasteland against some enclave and blew up a car which land on SP Cross about 10 seconds.

paradise falls is freaky i saw two cars flying away from the boy holding icecream and landed near the slave i had taken to paradise falls...~Zero
 * Awesome. Hooz

Here is somthing weird, I was walking ito Paradise Falls to donate some Chinese Assault rifles when I noticed a dead body of a Yaoi Gui, weird thing, it was floating over some car wreckage, seriously that was weird --Brengarrett 01:42, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

The strangest thing so far was a deathclaw, the reilly's rangers random encounter, a pack of super mutants, and an albino radscorpion all at once after fast-travelling somewhere. I barely survived that, the ranger didn't, and so now I have two sets of ranger armour. Skorpychan 02:05, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I think we have all see the suspended dead bodies that ahng in the air and twitch and spin all weird. I saw a really weird one in Calvert Mansion. A Tribal with left arm and right leg stretched perpendicular to the floor. The thing was spinning and twisting one way like a rubber band, and then wuld unwind and twist the other way - weird.

2. - in MZ when Paulson died I went to grab his gear, and saw his eyeball laying on the floor among the carnage. I put my taget over it and sure enough it said 'search paulson' - i had never seen anyones eyeball blown out of their head like that - pretty cool...Pgoon 16:55, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah thats normal when their head explodes. On a related note, I was scouring Metro Tunnels with Butch, Jericho, and Cross. Butch fired a fatal shot to a Mirelurk King's head, and ithe King's body froze, still standing up and it's exploded head still together, not falling apart. It was weird, seeing the parts of the head before it splatters all over. I "picked up" the King and it went ragdoll and it's head fell apart. Hooz

Was scoping a Deathclaw fighting two Yao Guai with my Gauss Rifle when i see a dead Radscorpion fly right over the Yao Guai and the Deathclaw. Out of nowhere. Nothing appeared to kill it. It just flew. I fell on the floor laughing and missed my character being ripped to shreds by the winning Deathclaw. ^_^ Hooz

Was heading towards Big Town from the north west trying to find Mr. Crowley in his mad dash to Fort Constantine and the moon was bright blue. It was the only time I've ever seen this in over 100hrs of gaming on the 360. 216.252.76.166 02:38, 13 August 2009 (UTC) tru7h

Sometimes when roaming the wastelands, I wandering around and I see a red tick.Like I do with all red ticks I run over to kill it. All of a sudden a deathclaw flys straight up in the air and it kept going till it was out of sight. Im not sure if its a known bug but it has happened on many occasions.I find it funny as hell because its alive and looking around when it does it.


 * believe me that is a very very common bug i just laugh at it. the scariest time ive spent is in the deathclaw sanctuary were i had like 3 of em jump out of nowhere attacking me i chose the run n gun tactic but it was as freaky as hell running thorugh pitch black darkness with em chasing me and pouncing constantly--Hellfire soldier 20:43, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Once I was wandering around Takoma Park, around level 30, long after I had killed the Behemoth and I saw a red tick on the compass. So I pull out Vengeance expecting it to be an overlord or high level Talon Merc but no it was one of the mercs I had killed earlier, exactly the same as I left him, WITH HIS HEAD IN PIECES! All the bits were floating above his stub of a neck and he only had 1 HP bar and only one arm. O_o This was the weirdest (and creepiest) thing that has ever happened in Fallout 3 for me by FAR.

Sometimes after i exit the deathclaw cave thing where they live i see a enclave soldier fighting a death claw when all of the sudden it flies like 300 ft into the air and lands in the enclave encampment there its pretty damn funny usually Salty Demon 18:21, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

During Take It Back a enclave soldier was killed by prime and turned to gibs but they stayed in mid air still in the form of the soldier!--Lone Ranger 03:36, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Did you have clipping turned off? Pararaptor 09:09, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Recently i was following Mr. Crowley to Constantine when i killed a Yao Guai, and he flew like a bird for a while. Then when Mr.Crowley stepped over it's body a car landed on him. i was like WTF LMAO!! And another with the Deathclaws, Enclave were shooting it, then it flew up really high in the air and stayed there, so a hellfire trooper shot at it but missed and the shots came down and killed all the enclave. LOL i just looted it and left.

In the Mall a Car was bouncing Wildly around and knocking the SUper Mutants around but dealing no damage, another realy wierd one was the Invisible Talon COmpany Man, there where three the two who were the leaders backup were normal pale rosy cheeked assholes,but the one talking was justa a floating suit and a gun wierd as fuck then when i stripped him to get the armour hebecame visible. Also Headless Jericho is funnyAntily3f 03:14, September 10, 2009 (UTC)
