Unforseen Consequences: As you're wandering the wasteland, a man in an orange and black chemical suit with the letter Lambda on the front appears within an explosive rift. He takes two steps and collapses dead... leaving you free to loot his crowbar and suit. However, the moment you take the suit off of him, he gets pulled back in through the rift and it closes... ensuring that you never see his face.
The Welcoming Committee: Just outside of a town, three kids are standing outside nearby a makeshift fort. As soon as you approach, they begin arguing over who gets to welcome you, and how to make an introduction. During the course of this fight, various quotes from previous Fallout titles and other such things will be spouted off. They never do actually get around to welcoming you...
I Know I've Seen This Somewhere Before: While you're traveling along, you come across an eight-foot tall monstrosity in a unique suit of white and blue Power Armor. If you approach him, he identifies himself as a 'Retired Secret Service agent'. If you talk to him, you can ask questions about him... about his armor... about why he's out in the desert. When asked about the armor, he explains that there has never been another suit like it... and that the only reason -he- got it, was because the previous wearer screwed up so badly that his OWN MEN helped to kill him. Perhaps if the player meets some certain requirements, he can be convinced to take up the role of 'follower'.
The King of Rocks: This particular Elvis Impersonator suffers from a case of 'Sun-Baked Brain'. He has declared himself Lord and Master over one half of a rickety old rope-bridge... hurling rocks at anyone who attempts to cross and threatening to cut the supports. If anyone gets to the middle of the bridge, he cuts the ropes, and they plummet to the bottom of the ravine. The solutions are to either talk him into surrendering, killing him, or finding another way around the chasm.
