You come across a Mr. Handy Robot in a bunker like the ones under the radio towers in fallout. Mr. Handy is conver in blood trying it's very best to put back together a group of humans he killed by mistake, trying to get them to "Work" again. He Asks you if you have any "spare parts" he can use to help fix them. Comes after you with his buzz saws!. Kill or be killed.

Idea 15.

Wow, you're good at this!

That's not really a random encounter though; that's finding Mr. Handy in a bunker isn't it?

scripted one, an encounter yes as long as it's the only one of it's kind then yes it is a special encounter.

Yeah it's an encounter, you are encountering something.

It'd be cool if you came across a massive worm that digs under ground and pops up randomly to fight your charactor and when you kill it it pukes out undigested gear from other peoples

Lol i said that in another tread about bosses

Be cool right

"River Roach" you are walking through a sewer tunnel. You come across a small stage with christmas lights on the walls. On that stage are 10+ radroaches performing "River Dance." In the audience are many more radroaches sitting in little chairs cheering. This lasts for 30 seconds or so before they see you and scatter, they don't attack they just run away.

Idea 16.

How 'bout that:

You walk around in the wasteland, and you suddenly hear something walking behind you, but there is nothing when you turn around. So you continue to walk, and the sound is there again. You turn around again - nothing. You turn around again to move on BUT YOU STARE INTO A FREAKING GECKOS FACE.


The script would basically be built like this:
- sound of gecko is played
- PC turns, sound off
- PC turns again, sound on
- PC turns again, sound off, Gecko spawns behind PC
- PC turns again and has the Gecko in his face, literally.

(The Gecko could be non-hostile and follows you around or something, maybe like the Pariah dog.)

Oh and this obviously wouldn't work in 3rd person.

"Bob and Doug" Two ghoul brothers that came to Vegas on vacation just before the great war, from "The Great White North" eh. They like calling you a "hoser" eh. They sit in front of a broken TV cooking what they call "bacon" eh, over a fire. They have many cases of beer around them, alot of empties as well.


had to do this one for the Canadian fallout fans

Idea 17.

That would be interesting...

Intresting? Hey, if radiation can turn them that big, why can't it make them dance too?

What about my two ideas?

One idea would be too have a giant sand worm that pops up like a random encounter.Every time you beat it vomit's up dead wastelander's

Totally my idea, 100%.

Lol.

You come across a Night club/Bar full of people. Great music 1950's swing music!. You have some drinks and a good looking woman/Man depending on the six of your character, wants you to go to "bed" with you . You say hell yeah! cut scene right after that. You wake up on an old mattress next to a male/female manikin, again depending on the six of your character. you walk out to the bar area/dance floor and the room is full of old manikins with 1950's clothing.
you say to yourself "Damn heat stroke."

Idea 18.

-It'd be cool if you came across a massive worm that digs under ground and pops up randomly to fight your character and when you kill it it pukes out undigested gear from other peoples

-Another cool part would be if you ran across a group indians in the middle of some tribal ceramony where they sacrifice someone and you get the moral decision to either join in the sacrifice and gain some special ability that gives you more charisma or even something like lightning strikes and the other option is if you save the dude bein sacrificed he turns out to be rich and you get to go meet him at his casino or house where he gives you a special tribal spear or other weapon and a ton of caps.

-Id like to see a town of crazy people congregated around ceazers palace casino or something roman themed where they are all convinced that they are roman soldiers who work for the actual ceazer who turns out to be a guy with a mezmatron gun and if you kill him you get it and a sweet toga to run around in.

-one of them would be if you come across an old farmhouse with brahmin and fields of some weird type of irradiated food all deformed looking and then a deformed white-trash dude in overalls shows up with a shot gun and he says
"mama said we been 'cpectin ya"
and then out of curiosity you follow him up the stairs into the house and once inside you notice the gore thats every where and a fatchick in a big gore pile hacking on something human looking then she says
"welcome to the family"
and several other deformed white trash dudes come out and some are carrying pitchforks and others chainsaws then you get to decide wether or not to join them. if you do you get a shovel and are sent to the basemant for a job there you have to shovel some sludge into a trough that leads directly to the field to use as fertalizer then you ask one of the white-trash dudes about what the sludge and he simply says
"we owe mama everything"
and then you go to dinner and mamas eatin a ton of disgusting gore and there is a lot of guys eating the weird plants growing out in the field and when you eat some you get an ability thats called bretheren and when you get in bad situations the white trash guys will jump out of no where and carry your screaming enemies in nets. if you pick to not join the family which would be good karma then you have to kill all of them and fight your way out and when you serch mama you just find a ton of mutilated corpses and if you look be hind her there is a dead man crushed undermama and if you search him you find a unique shotgun called "mamas boy".

- one could be a twighlight zone throwback that where you run across a town of average survivor but they all make decisons based on a man in the mountain wich turns out to be a prewar computer telling them what to do.

-also you could come across a shack with a ton of masks that you can pick up all over the walls and in the middle there is a pedistle with a mask on it thats of fallout boy and that gives you extra rad risistance but you see the whole world differently as all innocent and prewar

lol epic i like

you come across an old fast food restaurant that looks alot like "Big Boy" you see a speaker box but you can't understand what the person is saying because of the static. you can't go inside. If you have a high repair skill/ perception. You will notice someone stabed it with an Occam's Razor and it is stuck. You can take it out and fix the speaker. Once it's fixed you just hear mole rates on the other end making their normal mole rat sounds.

Idea 19.

lol rly? my bad i got others

you could run across the body of a rly big dead kangaroo and when you look inside it you find springy shoes that let you jumb rly high.

"Talking Cactus" you come across a talking saworo cactus that is all by itself. It asks you to stay and talk with it he is so lonely. You feel sorry for it and deside to stay. You talk for 2 days straight (Time Laps) you can't get a word in. Finally you finally "say what am I doing talking to a Cactus for!. Then you hear "I am not a Cactus!".

you: what do you mean you are not a Cactus?!
Cactus: I am a ghoul!
You: your a ghoul?
Cactus: I am on the other side.
you: ????
Cactus: Over here!
you: you walk over and on the other side is a ghoul facing the Saworo stuck on the spikes!
you: Why did you not tell me this 2 days ago?!
Ghoul: I was lonely and I had so much bottled up.
you: would you like to be unstuck?
Ghoul would you, please?
you: you help him off the cactus.
ghoul: Thank you I was stuck on that for years! here I want you to have this. He gives you are rare gun that looks like the "lincoln repeater" but with a modern look and feel to it. It has a scope as well, but home made.
Ghoul: I made that back when I was a smooth skin, I got the Idea when I went to DC and saw the museums there.
Ghoul: tells you he used to be a gun smith named Jake, he got stuck while chasing a mole rate and not looking ahead to see the cactus. He say his good byes and walks into the sun set.

Gun is called "Old Aberham"

Idea 20.

You see this early 21st century house. You go in it and you see some nerd playing a weird game called "fallout" on his xbox360/PC/PS3.

I like all those "intact 1950 house/bar/etc" ideas, they could be sort of halucinations and the chance to encounter them increases as your water meter goes critical.

"Dogs Playing Poker"! You come across a small building inside are "Dogs Playing Poker!." Gazing upon this proves to be far too intense for you and it's enough to drive you insane! you run screaming from the scene till you passout in the sand. You wake up hours later. You go back to the house there are no dogs just a painting of the "dogs playing poker" on the wall and a card table covered in the currency of the wasteland.

"They're dogs and they are play poker!" run screaming!

Idea 21.

Your walking across the wasteland and suddenly fall down a hole.

When you awake you find your self in a room were everything is 50 time's bigger then you.
