In New Vegas my favorite moment would be arriving in Vegas for the first time, seeing all the people and the bright lights, is like nothing you ever see in fallout. In fallout 3 i would say stepping out of the Vault for the first time like many others have said, just gives you a feeling of how big the wasteland is and how you can explore it all.

My favorite moment would have to be roaming around tranquility lane. Something about that area really intrigued me, I always enjoy playing there the most.

I have 2 favorite moments, like @pwninronan said, when you is talking to Benny, he convinced you of working with you -the way he said his play, i like Benny, i am a fan of Matthew Perry so, like Benny was predictable for me- but, when he lets you in the room, i got such an urge feeling that something was very wrong, so i went to the other rooms to search for enemies, entered the kitchen, when i hear a noise coming from the elevator, i got shivers up my spine, drawed my switchblade-was the only weapons i had as holdout, and hide myself, until they came and i stabbed them to death with it, i felt like a real badass, i wasnt hit not even once, and it was my first time there... Going down the elevator, those guys saying that Benny run away...

And the second is walking with a broken leg, i use hitman47101 animation, so it looks more realistic, no med kit, no doctor bags, when i encountered in one part a bunch -and i mean a LOT- of cave tunnelers, i had my ammunition counted, if i killed 1 or 2 i would use all my ammo, shoot the legs of whom i could, took my bowie knife, and i manage to survive the attack, with a little health-just reminding that i play with realistic damage, any damage that the cave tunnelers made i would have died- and i kept walking after that, tired, hungry -havent ate in quiet some time, as in the devide food are really scarce-, hurt... It was the most hardcore experience i ever had in New Vegas, playing Lonesome road, with only what i find in the divide, it was a challenge

So far, my favorite moment has been the fight to rescue Riley's Rangers in D.C. in Fallout 3. That was an intense mission for me early on, probably in my first week or so of having the game. I felt like I was struggling to survive, but it was very satisfying to be gaining ground on the super mutants. I also loved my first encounter with real booby traps in the game like grenade clusters and the baby carriages. It was kind of my baptism by fire for Fallout, and always kind of stuck in my mind.

My favorite moment is actually from a mod, the Warzones mod for New Vegas. In Barstow the NCR are hugely outnumbered by the fiends, the boss of which has a grenade launcher. I was with Willow and Niner, both of which were unconscious from a grenade. I was crippled in my right arm, and right leg. I was also running low on ammunition. After dumping my last BREN clip into the fiend boss, I was out. At this point I pulled my sidearm, THe RHINO M1 revolver, and put all three rounds into him. Still he didn't die. Out of nowhere a NCR heavy trooper started backing me up. The fiend boss killed him, but it game me enough time to grab a laser RCW from a dead fiend and Finish the boss off...Felt like such a showdown moment.

Yay another Benny fan. I loved that bit. I didn't get it on my first few playthroughs since I always did the speech option or black widow way. The thing I like about Benny is that despite being an antagonist and always tricking you I could never hate him. There is just something so loveable about him.

My Favorite part was returning to megaton after you detonated the bomb there, it was Extremely Gloomy and unrecognizable.

when I first realized that my female character had a beard ... no comment

setting off the megaton bomb in Fallout 3

Dodging Powder Ganger dynamite while listening to Big Iron on the radio.

First exiting Vault 101 in Fallout 3, into the bright, yet desolate new world of the Capital Wasteland. Gave me chills the first time it happened.

I think it was the moment I stepped out of Vault 101 and the sun all but blinded me.  That was just a great touch that perfectly symbolized the 'holy crap... this is what's out here??' of that moment IMO.

Exactly! I just stood there looking around...amazed. A smile slowly spread across my face and I never stopped playing.
The same is true for New Vegas; I just stood on Doc's porch slowly turning from side to side taking it all in: the circling crows, the tumbleweed blowing through town. I said "HO...LY...CRAP!" And so began my 2nd love affair.

the final battle for fallout 3 probably my alltime favorite ending to a game

Liberty Prime really made the ending for me. He was the single most American robot i ever knew.

I would say it was interesting to be able to blow up Megaton in Fallout 3 and getting that sweet sweet revenge on Benny in FNV

As with most people in the thread, exiting Vault 101 for the first time, with the way the light temporarily blinds you. Can't think of a favourite in New Vegas though. Probably Benny's reaction to seeing I was alive the first time I went to the Tops.

The drinking contest with Cass was definitely my favorite event, even though it was just a dialogue option. Used to make it a priority to get those twelve bottles of whiskey for it. Never grows old.

God i sure havent commented in this topic for a long time now.
One of my most favoiret moments was when me and my four companions attacked the Legion fort and i was like ''We are the sons of Easy Pete and we will kill you all'' and it was epic really all of my companions died but it was for the greater good of me.Another thing is when a Powder ganger attacked me with a dynamite...it looked like he was saying ''Allahu Akbar'' then he died and i got crippled.

Legion assassins attacked, blew up car, and they flew away never to be seen again. Would do again if I had the chance

I love the original ending of Fallout 3, it is one of the best written heroic sacrifices in recent gaming memory
From a mod in Fallout 3, I love the atmosphere of the first area in the first AQFH, it set the tone for the series and fit perfectly into Fallout.
From New Vegas, I sincerely love when all the expectations about Ulysses's name being based on Odysseus went away and you realize he based his name on Ulysses S. Grant
From a mod of New Vegas, the conversation with Zimmer in The Inheritance, how Quentin Tarantino hasn't bought the rights to make a movie of that mod yet I do not know.
