Fallout 2 (-75% off) - Beware of the cows…Remember those deadly cows? Well, let us remind you. There’s a rare instance in Fallout 2 where we can encounter a herd of pissed off, exploding brahmin. At first glance, they seem like your typical mutated bovine grazing their barren pastures. That is until they all start running towards our character, The Chosen One, and detonating around us. If we were at a low level it meant certain doom at the hands (or rather hooves) of a very unexpected foe. Fun, surprising, kinda scary but most of all - iconic. This random skirmish is truly the essence of the Fallout series.
Fallout 3 (-67% off) - First step into the Capital Wasteland and Blowing up MegatonCome on… this has to be on that list. After exploring the amazing, post-apocalyptic worlds of the first two entries in the series, the time has come to finally see its nuclear beauty in 3D. And the third game narrative prepares as perfectly for this moment. After we start quite literally by being born, we then get acquainted with the comforts of Vault 101. From first steps as a baby, to school tests, to our tenth birthday party in the Vault’s cafeteria and shooting roaches, to taking the G.O.A.T exam and getting bullied by Tunnel Snakes. And it all comes down to this one, iconic and beautiful moment - coming out of the Vault, leaving underground life behind and embarking on an adventure into the vast, unknown world while still struggling to adjust to the sunlight. It’s perfect, really.
Yeah, we had to give two entries for Fallout 3. It’s probably the most known, talked about and recognisable quest from all of the series. While it needs no introduction we are always happy to reminisce about this very dark but legendary moment. Soon after emerging from the Vault 101 we come across Megaton, a small, shanty town built around a dormant nuclear bomb, which is probably not the most ideal place to build a settlement. After some time we run into a bloke who thinks Megaton’s an eye-sore and wants it removed. We are left with a choice to disarm the nuke, saving the town or turning Megaton into a Mega-hole. Choosing the latter of course costs us a hefty -1000 karma points but it can be argued that the view of the explosion is totally worth it.
Fallout: New Vegas (-67% off) - The Great JourneyAnd last but definitely not the least - finale of Come Fly With Me quest in Fallout: New Vegas. Absolutely bizarre, unique and beautiful moment between Courier and a group of bold and inspired ghouls on a mission. At the REPCONN test site our character meets ghoul Jason Bright who is the leader of a religious faction known as Bright Brotherhood. Their main goal? To complete The Great Journey - launching themselves in a space vessel and travelling to a new world in the hope of finding a better future beyond Earth. Jason's speech, the view, the music - everything there is just iconic.
