Favorite Fallout 3 location

[Julianking93]

Oasis.

Just...so beautiful

Spoiler

Tenpenny towers after It's taken over by ghouls

 

[Pete Oddly]

For me it's a tie between the Dunwhich Building and assaulting the airport in Broken Steel.

 

[Dorian]

My favorite?
I'll give you a hint.
"Ooh, it was a wonderful place! I saw things that I had never seen before! There were trees, and flowers, and grass, and blue skies, OOH, memories..."
-Emo Philips-

But as for sticking out, definitely Rockopolis. I spend SO much bloody time looking for it....

 

[hazabaza1]

Oasis or Republic of Dave.

Hooray for sabotage!

 

[Superlordbasil]

Dunwich is defiantly a place that leaves an impression in that game

 

[Bobtowna]

That place with all the happy, regular people.
Except when you pick the lock on their secret shed
it's full of corpses and when you step out they try
to kill you...UNLESS
You have Cannibal perk and you can empathize with
them and they sell you humen meat.

 

[Randomeaninglessword]

Inside Oasis, because it's not boring and brown. I know it's a wasteland, but would it kill them to put SOME (living) trees around?

 

[revenge6000]

I'm also going to say the Republic of Dave, if only for the awesome guided tour through the museum of dave.

"And this...is a tire. I don't know who put that there."

 

[Kielgasten]

The wasteland, especially by night. It is almost as immersive as Zangarmarsh by night.
Love it

 

[Eskimo_In_Egypt]

Oh and btw this is the Roach King I was talking about.

Spoiler

The guy nucking futs, but he has some bitchin' taste in chairs.

 

[Spiner909]

The vault with the Gaaaary in it...

 

[Andronicus]

Andale. Such friendly folks out there.

Agreed. Always ready for a nice chat and a slice of something nice. Ah, it's as if I can smell the lovely hot meat pies through the speakers.

I love all the little random spots that you find scattered around that tell little stories about the people before and after the bombing, like burnt skeletons lying on a bed, or that house in DC with the robot you can give jobs to, like tell the (quite deceased) children a lovely bedtime poem. It's the little things like that where I can let my imagination make up the stories of the people before they died that really make it a joy.

Spoiler: there will come soft rains

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pool singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;

Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;

And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

any way, I liked most of the city. I would clear out buildings and just sit there, staring at the destroyed metropolis for hours. It's kind of depressing, but it gives you the scope of what humans will go to, just to survive because the entire population of the human race is comprised of idiots.

Fixed that for you.

 

[PseudoDuck]

The apocalyptic beauty of the Mall viewed from the top of the Washington Monument.

The guilt-free slaughter zone that is Paradise Falls.

The home away from home that is my shack in Megaton.

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

Point Lookout probably.

 

[addeB]

Jefferson memorial (Broken steel version)

 

[Sir_Tor]

Gary! Gaaaaaary!
That Vault!

 

[BlueMartian]

Probably Point Lookout, I can't figure out why.

Maybe it was just a nice change from the wasteland, or maybe it was the double-barrel shotguns.

 

[MrDarkling]

I don't know really...
But is it me or does opening/closing a vault door seem extremely satisfying?

 

[xplosive59]

the makeshift nulear fallout shelters with the morse code messages, i remember onewhere they said his son needed medical supplies but when you find theshelter you find them hudled up in the corner with a smaller skelleton in his arms, i like it because it givesa really erie feeling to the ame that shows the realities of nuclear war. Also the clifftop shack where you find the victory rifle and has named radroaches... and a great view
