I have always loved the first time I played fallout 3 and opened the vault door. To this day it remains my most memorable moment in all the games I have played. Fallout 3 was my first fallout in the series and I plan on playing the classics. I think Bethsda got the atmosphere of the vault so perfect. I would like to know your most memorable moment in any of the fallout games.

Probably the time I was exploring the capital wasteland and i found a raider camp that had a super mutant behemoth trapped inside I was so dumbfounded. tried letting it free and it pounded me to the ground lol.

My most memorable moment was talking to the Master. It was so terrifying the first time meeting him.

I can't pinpoint just one, but shooting the generator at Evergreen Mills in FO3 was one of them. It was the first time I had seen a behemoth super mutant, and in all honesty I hit the genny by accident. Watching him trample and smash raiders like the incredible hulk was greatly satisfying, and ranks at the top of my first time moments.

Opening the Vault for the first time(ever playing fallout) was just...just gave me a sense of fear or hope or sadness, so many conflicting emotions about that scene

Dad dying in FO3

Dog meat dying from a damned behemoth

My suicide after dog meat dying. I drank 47 bottles of whiskey in a bathtub and then mini nuked myself. No joke. I really did that. Sometimes I get to immersed...

My most was the moment that I went back to Arroyo to meet hakunin for the last time and found out that every people were captured for a lab rat.

Fallout 3, walking along and a death claw falls from the sky and lands on a car, i go to look at it and a super mutant comes up behind me and kills me.

I had to take a little while to think about this. I've played the Fallout series for a long time, and have many fond memories of playing the first two games, as well as Fallout: Tactics multiplayer when it first came out.

When Fallout 3 came out I was pumped. I put together a new PC for it (that I built the day it came out) and had a week off of work for it. To say that I dedicated myself to it would do disservice to the amount of time I put into the game when it first released. I had another friend who was playing it at the same time, and we would nudge each other to complete some side quests occasionally that we thought were cool or interesting; otherwise, I was absolutely absorbed into the lonely wasteland of the Capital Wasteland.

When it came to an end I was in awe of my entire experience. (Spoilers for the end of Fallout 3 to follow) I was born in the Vault, and the game quickly established who I was and who I had known in this time. I followed in my father's footsteps across the wastes and saved him just for him to die. After that moment I became obsessed. Not my character - not the persona I was playing - me. Finishing my proxy-father's work and to live up to the example he set.
All through the end, even with a massive battle going on around me, I listed to Agatha's station with the violin. It was my battle hymn; a gentle eye in the storm of the fate of the wasteland that I was going to shape. Then, at that very last pivotal moment, I didn't hesitate to step into the chamber myself to activate Project Purity.
I was the alpha and the omega. The beginning and the end.
It told me that I saved the wasteland, and left a positive impact on everyone I encountered. It was worth it, and felt perfect.

I remember the room being very dusty, or maybe someone cutting onions.

Absolutely wonderful. I love how descriptive and detailed it was and I was like that when I played it for the first time.

Etiher geting out of the vault in fo3 or the beginning cutsine in fo2

That epic battle at the end of FO3 with Liberty Prime just blasting Enclave soldier's limbs away.

You know, when you're starting the game and being killed (New Vegas start) is surprising a little. So i was shocked so much why it's so, what to do the next, is it like my future as a player or it will be revenge for that killed guy...

Finding ulysses at last and hearing that chilling music when the nuke rises. To this day my favorite dlc, story-wise

*Opens door*
YOU STARTLED ME

Maud's Muggers in New Vegas are another that stand out.

Zeta surprised me all along,the vaults in fallout 3 are hardly surprising too.
first playtrought in fallout series was enjoying discovering vaults and getting inside "to see".
getting out the vault and discovering the waste and megaton for the first time was impressive.
the protectron have a special charisma for me and surprised me too when first seeing one of them(i was laughing and asking me question at the mean time when protectron coming near me :"ticket please!")...i mean in fallout its plentyfull off small enjoyable things,it is not like a halo reach or a cod game when "superemotionalcolorfulltobrain" things happen.

the Super Duper Mart in fallout 3 was the most memorable as it is one of the first places that you visit after megaton and first discover how messed up raiders are lol

You remember that valley you pass through after going through Nipton? That was pretty cool. That was the first time that I stepped into an ambush in any game. It was so chaotic and bullets were just flying everywhere. And then I decided to poke my head out to find where all the fire was coming from and ended up with a bullet in my head. And believe it or not, that was the second time that had happened to me in a week!

I think meeting Joshua Graham was pretty amazing,I didnt expect it when i started the dlc but when i did i was liike yesssss.

In FO3 the first moments when my vault dweller scaped from Vault 101. Since my character wasn't leveled enough, nor had enough ammo, weapons or a decent armor, I basically made it explore eveywhere running without a destination. Don't know how I did it, but I was able to survive while checking out a great amount of the map. When I first arrived to Tenpenny Tower it was like WOW!!!!.

In the case of FNV, when I arrived to the area outside Freeside at night, just a few minutes before the lights of the Welcome sign were turned on....when it happened, I felt a great excitement!!!!. The first time my courier set a foot on Freeside I almost had an orgasm I was delighted to be there, even thought the place was filled with simple and no accesible buildings. And when the moment to enter to the Strip came...can't find words to describe my joy

It was turning on House's bunker and just hearing all the securitrons wake up for me
