I've held off buying a current gen console so far but between Witcher 3 and Fallout 4, it's time. Or maybe a Steam Box...

For some crazy reason I would have my character change into the Sexy Sleepwear before sleeping but the effect was made creepy by the fact Fawkes would just be standing by the bed the whole time.

You mean using that bomb shelter in the National Guard Depot as a housing location? I’m curious, why was it so great?

Yeah, I couldn’t find the way in until I referred to a walkthrough.

I think I found out about this development because Three Dog mentioned it on the radio? I may be misremembering. But yes, this was a great example of unintended consequences that made Fallout 3 quests not so clear cut.

Haha, after I collected the violin and music paper for Agatha, there was an option to ask for a reward, and I was feeling too generous and selfless to demand anything from a sweet old widow. I later found out the reward would have been the Blackhawk and I kicked myself.

It is, but it’s possible to stumble upon the Vault in which it takes place before the story quests direct you there. In fact, if you watch any Fallout 3 speed runs, the first thing they do after leaving Vault 101 is make a beeline for Tranquility Lane. You can just skip all the story quests before it!

Yes, it’s where you find your father and you can’t skip it if you want to finish the game.

Yup!

Clearly Betty removed all memory of it from your brain before releasing you.

Same here! I think I was laughing out loud for the first ten minutes of it.

Yeah! At first I refused to accept that there wasn’t a way to free the innocents from the VR simulation that allowed them to live happily ever after. Then I just succumbed to the evil route out of frustration. Oasis was also a really tough one when it turned out doing the right thing for Harold meant slaughtering a…

I have to say, on my first play through of Fallout 3 I was being a good person and trying to help everyone I could. So it was pretty liberating to just straight up murder a bunch of screaming, defenseless people with a knife. I did feel bad about it afterwards though.

I wound up killing the whole town because I couldn’t figure out the puzzle. That’s because while I knew it was about activating the items in sequence, I was too stupid to realize some of the items needed to be activated twice!

Wow! For it to actually end the game for your friend is a testament to the sheer WTF-ery of Tranquility Lane.

My vote for best quest goes to Tranquility Lane. By the time the player reaches this quest, she’s seen a lot of weird stuff in the Wasteland, but this is where it just goes off the rails. Entering a viral reality pod, you find yourself in a pristine, sepia-toned suburb with a giddy, catchy soundtrack. After having…

Pardon me while I get pedantic: It’s not actually “avop,” it’s “andr.” The greek letters ἀνδρ may look like “avop” but the ν (nu) is an n sound, the δ (delta) is a d, and the ρ (rho) is an r.

Looks like I'll finally have to buy a current gen console...

Going after a Fire Ant Soldier with a switchblade? The first time I played FO3 those guys were killing me before I could even get within melee range! Ah, I love that feeling the first time you play a game and have no idea what you’re doing... I ran circles around a Mirelurk for five minutes trying to VATS it in its…

Is your hobby “running around blindfolded in the piano bench showroom”? I do that too!
