So, I was walking around the Wasteland, And then I saw a... a Crashed motorcycle and the motorists body still had the helmet on....

I felt a bit sad when I saw this.

I saw a crow on the ground. It made me sad, until I shot it.

It was sad, I saw a skeleton in one of those R.V.s and it had a skeleton the size of my 9MM pistol, I was thinking "DAAAAANG"

When I come across a room with a locked door where someone obviously was hiding from something and they died while waiting for it to be safe again.

Was it in the Bison-Steve Casino?

I feel like I find this exact scenario in every explorable locations there is :laugh:
Still have the whole Pitt factory episode burned into my mind!

I also think it's annoying when Yeast appears the same size as a sack, and I accidentally pick it up instead of looting <_<

I felt bad for that poor guy from before the war he died because he accidentaly locked himself in his office without the key. Who the hell has a key lock on the inside of the door anyway? :unsure2:

:mellow: That sounds like a fail.

But, I found something pretty sad, I was reading the terminal in Black Mountain and people got stuck in the Radio Building or something like that..

Came across a brahmin farm, a boy's parents had become feral ghouls from radiation poisoning, and he went mad after he had to kill them. He was afraid his cows were going to eat him, so he locked himself in his house and lit it on fire.

the 3 giant radscorpions taking no damage from my grenade launcher made me very sad.

I once discovered a crashed Highwayman. :rolleyes:

And when I saw what was in the trunk, I jumped a bit. This was surely not THAT good ol' Highwayman. :cold:

» Wed May 11, 2011 3:10 am

That highwayman was just a throwback to FO2. :biggrin:

An awesome one at that.

EDIT: If it had "That Gun!" in the truck however...

That was one of them. However I have found a few of these scattered around. There is enough stuff to help you make up a back story for the corpse.

I actually teared up after I found all the notes. Especially when you see the corpses.

Its really sad because I was thinking it was a young 11-12 year old :sadvaultboy:

I think I may have walked by this place, But it sounds really sad.. :sadvaultboy:

Another thing I found sad was NCR troopers with their limbs blown off, But were still alive.

It made me teary.

I kept hearing one say "Kill me..."

I think Obsidian messed up on that part. Because if we preform a mercy kill, NCR goes hostile. Gee, Pardon me for thinking an NCR trooper with no arms or legs groaning 'kill me' is considered wrong in your eyes. :confused:

The saddest thing I saw in New Vegas was in Vault 22. The one Spore creature that was the size of a child in the room with the baby crib, suggesting that the two were one in the same. I'd hate to imagine a child being consumed by those spores, only for me to have to blow it away to keep it from killing me.

"Species: Beauveria Mordicana

An entomopathogenic fungus, B. Mordicana has been developed to colonize the bodies of most common pests.
Once it has fully colonized a host body, the host technically dies, but the body continues to move by means of the fungal colony within it.
In this manner the fungus moves amongst its prey, occasionally spraying spores in a radius around the host body, infecting all who come near it.
Its drawbacks include the time it takes to kill prey (10-20 days) and its limited effectiveness when dealing with unsocial pests."

Really? It only got the other wounded people hostile, But they did'nt do anything.

EDIT: Also, I Private Halford I think, His story was so sad, The only survivor of his platoon.

I actually sniped them from a distance, but I have performed the mercy killing from closer. NCR doesn't itself turn hostile, just the other injured troopers.

I felt really bad when I had to shoot up a coyote den mother and her pups.

I hope someone makes a realistic wildlife mod soon. I don't think coyote pups should instinctively kamikaze a heavily armed threat :spotted owl:
