greetings everyone i made this thread so people can post their stupid and unexpected deaths here ill start.

it was a long time ago way before i became the ''veteran'' i am now in new Vegas i was playing the lonesome road dlc at i had reached Hopeville armory one of only mods i used in new vegas back then was enclave commander, i had about 5 ncr veteran rangers with me when suddenly one of the rangers in front of me is shot in the head by marked men and then its complete chaos and me and my remaining rangers are be attacked by marked men left and right before i can do anything am i also slain.

I was using a super-dark nights mod in Fallout 3 (literally couldn't see more than my character's glow maps and the sky) and I stumbled into an area where I had placed a very powerful enemy with a very powerful weapon... needless to say before I realized what had happened, my character's head got sliced off by a particle beam. XD

There was one time I decided to head into a powder ganger camp and defuse the mines they had set. Sadly my wireless mouse battery died before I was about to defuse one haha "BOOM".

a few months ago i was playing halo 2 (yes its quite an old game now) in the campaign mission metropolis i got to the part where you encounter Gunnery Sergeant Stacker driving  A Gauss Warthog he asked me to get in and i didn't later on as i run down to destroy the wraith firing at me just then sergeant stacker drives and just as he is saying 'come ere so i can smell ya' he is blown up by one of the motor shots fired by the wraith although this wasn't my death it was still rather funny to me at the time.

ps this is also why you never let ai drive warthogs they either end up killing themselves or end up killing you.

I was playing new vegas and was exploring one of the World of Pain areas and opened a door and was greeted with 4 shotguns point at me and instantly got killed. They were the trip activated shotguns and blew me back like 4 feet. It made me jump and then proceed to laugh for like 10 minutes lol.

Nothing like throwing an explosive and it bouncing back at you.

Those ragdoll physics especially when an empty bottle comes flying at you when you have low health. Threw an explosive and the bottle happened to knock the life out of me.

I was playing Skyrim, and saw a bucket spazzing out stuck in a door. I was low on health at the time and decided to open the door, causing the bucket to shoot at me and kill me.

On Fallout NV I spent 20 minutes clearing out the quarry, and right near the end, while im picking up the deathclaw eggs my character ragdolls, as it turns out I forgot to kill one of the deathclaws, and it waits till the end to kill me, worst part is I hadn't saved since I first got there -_-

burgerking14, that's one of the funniest way to die the physics in these games always make me laugh

So in new Vegas I had a mod that turned bullets to fallout 3 nukes I thought uninstalled and began a new game the look on Sunny's face as I shot the first bullet was priceless

Now that was a good game.

There's nothing like playing split screen co-op and having your friend kamikaze into you with a Banshee.

The first time i ever met a giant in skyrim i ran up to it thinking he was freindly after that moment i shoulda played "i can show you the world" as i couldnt stop laughing seeing all of skyrim below my gravity defying corpse.

Aha reminds of the time after you sucessfully activate the rock pile trap on some bandits, then casually walk over the rocks it somehow kills you in an instant.

I threw a grenade, hit the cieling right above me. I blew myself up..

A couple years ago when i first bought fallout nv for PS3 i went to primm decided i would check it out i find a place called primm pass and found a blind death claw i had no idea what they were at the time so i thought i could take him i met a pretty horrible death and deiced to give up after the 3rd try.

I was exploring Black Mountain for the first time with Nevada Skies and an ENB which escapes me at night. Needless to say it was quite dark. I was walking with a couple of companions when it stated Boone became unconscious. I turned around and before I knew it a Nightkin had shoved it's bumper sword or rebar club (can't recall which) in my skull. Let's just say I not only literally lost my head, but was so confused with what happened since I didn't see it that I freaked out

So, I was walking to primm from Goodsprings. Not sure what happened, but all of a sudden a trash can was flung at my face. Still not sure how I died, or what caused said trashcan to attack me.

cheesysquid by any chance did you cross a black cat while adventuring in the wasteland?

if not then you have very very bad luck my good sir
