Favorite New Vegas moment?


Recommended Posts

The title says it all. What was your personal moment in Fallout New Vegas where everything clicks together and results in a moment where the gameplay just makes you go "That is awesome!" ? The right music, the right action, the right locale, the works.

 

I have three examples. One from Honest Hearts, Dead Money, and Lonesome Road.

 

First up, the finale from Honest Hearts, while choosing to crush the White Legs tribe. Zoe made her rampage through the area using a hunting shotgun, a Thompson SMG, and That Gun, all set to the Promontory theme of Last of the Mohicans. In this case, it came together well because of the music.

 

Next up, Dead Money, a moment that many people can probably snigger over. Locking that psycho bastard Elijah in the vault. It was the only time I used music in Dead Money, and in this case, my escape was timed to the end run theme from Mass Effect 2, picking up just as Elijah realized he had been tricked. Once again, it was truly the music that made it great.

 

And then we have the Lonesome Road example. Storming through the Caves of Abbadon, rampaging through the swarms of tunnelers with the avenger minigun, all set to heavy metal.

 

The ultimate idea of the question is this. What was it that sold your favorite moment of awesomeness? In my case, it's always been setting the appropriate music.

 

This is probably a silly thread, and I don't expect much traffic of it.

Launching the rockets to the tune of "Ride of the Valkyries" at the RepConn testing center. First time I did that mission and the third rocket started zagging, I thought I was boned.

Hanlon's speech to Camp Golf is one of the most poignant moments I've seen in a videogame.

 

This.

 

Made me want to punch him in the beanbag a little less, but just a little.

Another fun moment, this time made great by laser-guided karma. Smacking Driver Nephi twice in the nads with a golf club before luring him into the sights of 1st Recon. they were even courteous enough to not demolish the guy's head.

 

Later I used Nephi's driver to kill Cook-Cook while he was roasting all the brahmin in sight after I had vaporized Queenie with a shot from the Gobi Rifle. One swing knocked him into the wall, and before he could get back up, he had his spine demolished.

Haven't played long enough to really find an epic moment but stumbling upon a warzone with the warzone mod always leads to some pretty cool gameplay.

Yea, I blindly stumbled into a battle at the abandoned airport from the wrong direction....bullets flying everywhere! I was so spooked I just started praying and spraying.....course I managed to gun down some of my NCR allies and was then promptly executed as both the legion and NCR stopped their battle to waffle-stomp me into the ground. I sat back and after a few minutes of recovering from the shock hollered out "hell yea!" and made WarZones a permanent part of my LO. :P
