Fallout 3 is definitely without question the best and most fulfilling game I have ever played, and I will hazard a guess that most Escapists have played Fallout 3 one time or another, so this is a thread to discuss your favourite Fallout 3 ,moment(s)!

My first great moment would have to be finally collecting all the archives from the spaceship in mother ship zeta, then shorty after reaching level 30 to get all 1550G.

My second was very unpredictable as well as funny for the people I was in a party with at the time (I have a 360). I had not played the game for months and had just started a new game for fun. I had reached the Super Duper mart, walked round the corner to find a very angry Deathclaw waiting for me (bearing in mind I was only Lvl 3 and on Very Hard difficulty). No surprise I died. I reloaded a save and went back down, walked round the corner again to find another random encounter in the shape of a Giant Radscorpion. I died for a second time. I reloaded my save a third time, went back down to find another nasty creature, this time a Yao Guai. I then died for a third time. You know the drill I walked back down to find a group of Hitmen... although I put up a good fight I did eventually reach my 4th death. Now this all in itself is very unlucky, but silly me thinking it was all over decided to give it one last try. For the fifth time, I walked down, went round the corner only to find A SECOND DEATHCLAW!! Only this time its legs had been crippled from a previous battle, so I managed to have an easy time killing it, and got its hand as a prize. Needless to say I then saved and turned off the console.

God Damn you Fallout 3!

I had a damn good time with some of the mods for the computer version. Perhaps my most satisfying moment though was the time that I followed some random person in Rivet city around all day for several days to get a bearing on their schedule- part of which was going on the upper deck. The next day, I waited at the far end of the upper deck and, when they popped outside, I shot their head with a sniper rifle then jumped for it. That was a proud moment for my RPG assassin prowess.

Killing everyone in every city everywhere.
It was incredibly satisfying.

Popping heads with the Glitch Rifle.

Or going to the Super-Mart with a .22 and a couple frag grenades, to find the usual assortment of bandits in the parking lot.... being killed by a ginat radscorpion that IMMEDIATELY focuses on me.

EDIT: Taking the MIRV out to the ruins of the Washington Monument, aim up, and DAKKADAKKDAKKA. Nuclear artillery strike. Even better were the crippled super mutants that came limping across the mall towards me.

Infiltrating the Capitol Building (I think it was there) with my Stealth Suit, Blackhawk and Shock Sword and killing every Super Mutant, Enclave, Raider or Talon Company in there almost undetected.

Probably the Vault Tour in the museum of technology. There was just something about that that felt so cool, like I was peering into the past, seeing how everything was supposed to be as opposed to what actually happened.

I fast traveled to a location, no joke as soon as I spawned I heard a sentry bot noise and went into Vats and had a look around, surronding me was:

1 rocket Enclave troop
3 normal Enclave troops
1 sentry bot
1 yao gui
1 deathclaw
2 hostile outcasts (I shot one with a mininuke by accident and now they all hate me)
1 giant Radscorpion

It was a hell of a fight!

Whoa, I'm not calling you a liar or anything, but there should be at least Two yao gui...unless it was killed before you got there.

I dont know, the only yao gui I saw was fighting the sentry so maybe. But I usually see yao's alone, I never see them in pairs.

When that one guy in the DC area was talking to himself, saw me, then detonated some landmines around my feet. Hadn't been surprised like that in a while.

Liberty Prime's booming voice as he erased everything between the Citadel and the Purifier.

The nuking of Megaton.

The Dunwich building.

I just finished the main storyline earlier today. The game just has so many great moments. I played a very goody two shoes type of character, so it was very cool to find out that I had a contract placed on my head, so the Talon Company jerks would pop up every now and then.

Ooh, and walking in to Paradise Falls and wiping out every god-damned slaver in the place and freeing all the slaves.

Having Fawkes with me at the end of the main storyline was great, 'cause then
no one had to die but the stupid Enclave.

There's more, but I'm arsed if I can think of them right now.

Of course, the first time I stuck a live grenade into the pocket of Moira Brown in Megaton. She's just like "Heeeeeeey! That's va--" BOOM. Damn her, she's so annoying.

Oh, and walking into Old Olney and blowing up every single deathclaw with my Fat Man. That was a lot of fun.
