    It happened to me too, Motty. I encountered 3 super mutants on the train tracks, each carrying a freaking bazooka aimed at my legs. I started dancing left and right until they crippled and killed me. I was so frustrated because I could've survived if I used my jets.

    My most memorable moment would be at a friend's party recently. We hooked his computer up to a huge TV and loaded up Fallout 4. Using the Alternate Start mod, we plopped ourselves in Goodneighbor, turned on survival mode, and gave ourselves one objective--get to Sunshine Tidings Co-Op. Let me tell you, starting with basically nothing, navigating around Gunners, Super Mutants, and Mirelurks was exhilarating and infuriating. But, it was also amazingly fun. It probably took us five tries each to get there.

    Lol, probs! I think that maybe 100 feet away from goodneighbor's entrance there's a separate group of mutants, gunners and ghouls.

    I totally forgot to reply to this when I first saw it. A few of mine in no specific order or great detail:

     

    Opening Cinematic- FO4 was my first Fallout and from the very opening cinematic I was freaking cooked. That sequence still gives me chills when I watch it whenever I start a new character. :)

    Brotherhood Arrives- When that airship just soars into the Commonwealth out of no where! Again first Fallout and that entrance, combined with how badass power armor is in F04 made me an instant Brotherhood fan boy that still holds to this day. Bonus moment for the fact that seconds before was that long built up confrontation with Kellog.

    Arrival in Far Harbor- Through the mists...in the darkness....across blacked waters you arrive in the mysterious settlement only for alarms to sound seconds after you step off the boat and you are forced to defend yourself and these people from monsters from the fog. That moment of holding the bulwark against new mutated monstrocities was amazing and really well done. The fact that it is night and dark makes it very difficult to make head or tails of things as simple as direction. Really wonderful start to the DLC and a nice representation to what is to come.....bringing me to....

    The Nucleus- Holy crap did the Children of Atom in Far Harbor with their amazing aestetic, awesome marine armor, glowing yellow pee lights and everything else about them just drip awesome and caught me hook, line and sinker.

    Liberty Prime- Alright well I did say above that FO4 was my first Fallout experiance so when you first boot Libery Prime up and you start treking across Boston towards the Institute on the heels of this big bad boy I was grinning like a fiend was I listened to his amazing dialogue, dispaching foes with my gatling laser, safe in my thick walls of power armor....after all my first playthrough was BOS and so a lot of my memories of the main quest are tied to that faction.

    Amor - the Far Harbor arrival was pretty cool. Exploring the island is still one of my favorite things to do. It's just got such a cool, creepy 50's horror vibe. I love going there in Power armor and really feeling like I'm exploring a nuked out wasteland. I suppose I said plenty when it came out, but yeah...FH FTW.

    I still have a few DLCs left to play between FO3 and FNV but Far Harbor is thus far without a doubt my favorite in virtually everyway. I think the work on the story, look, items, everything is just amazing and even just typing this makes me want to jump on a character and head over to the Island.

    I recently played with a mod that added the Tribal looking Power Armor from the Pitt (FO3 DLC) to FO4. It did so by adding in groups of extremely well armed and extremely powerful raiders. Every group had a leader (who was even more fucked up scary) in a full set of the new power armor.

    I once encountered a group, mostly by accident, being more than a few (read at least 10) levels lower than even the weakest of them and without my power armor. Luckily I had just bought myself two Nuka-mines (fuckers cost me a fortune) and a had a decent sniper at hand.

    I ran away as they noticed me, zigzagging between the trees of a nearby forest, to my horror just within range of their location. As I was running for my life I dumped the two mines on the ground and hid in a small crevasse, hoping it would draw them out. As soon as the first mine exploded I made a run for it.

    At that point it was me against 5 enemies with skulls in front of their names, one of them wearing half a power armor (and not much health left) because he stepped into one of the mines. The other mine victim was well and properly dead btw.

    The conclusion of the fight:

    Thanks to my, dare I say, clever use of the surrounding terrain (gotta love bullet sponge trees), the occasional Molotov and my rifle I managed to survive, not just survive but with zero HP lost. And that's after a prolonged open fight on Survival mode.

    I distinctly remember checking whether or not I accidentally switched off Survival mode or something because I couldn't believe what just happened.

    Moral of the story: I love rifles and things that go BOOOOOOOOM!

    Yeah Amornar, Far Harbor is one of the best dlcs I've ever played too. That opening, intense, spooky, dark. Bethesda nailed it. To this day I am still amazed by the idea of radioactive mist and all those people stubborn enough to live surrounded by it. In fact, once the battle for the hull was over, I took a long hard look at the mist and asked myself if I'm either brave enough not to use power armor or a f#ckin' p#ssy.

    Hmmm... I usually tend to get killed by my own mines. :))

    I’m with you on the appearance of the Prydwin, Amorar. That was just such an impressive scene.

    Also related to that, the first ride in a vertibird. I had been wanting to do that ever since I saw one in FO3.

    A few other thoughts, maybe not all happy but memorable to me:

    Finding, and being attacked by, Kyle, Alissa, and Kate, while exploring the overpass near Neponset Park. Then finding their dead owner. I didn’t want to kill them! I wanted to take them home. Hell, I even have a hard time killing the raider’s attack dogs. What can I say, the more people I meet, the more I like my dogs.

    The raider conversations about the guy on the imaginary motorbike. There is two of them that I remember, one behind Hardware Town, and one near Hubris Comics. The one near Hubris Comics contains my favorite line in the game, “10 caps and a desk fan? Who carries around a desk fan?”

    The first time a Mirelurk Queen jumped up at Nahant Chapel. Damn near shit myself.

    I’m not a big fan of running with companions, but I loved it when Strong would beat the hell out of something, and say, “heh heh, too fun!”
