2 grenades via VATS. Lots of legs separated from bodies. :-D

Have you managed to shoot an enemies nade with VATS and watch it explode and kill them instead.

It's been a fluke twice by hitting the VATS key just as they throw it.

Ah the Fatman, scared the crap out of me first time. I did not realise at the time the old cars and motorbikes explode.

Excellent game....

Although finding it hard to make time with so many good games at the moment with the 'FM09' demo, Little Big Planet (hmmmm, edugeek level), pro evo 09 and Metal Gear online demanding play time!

Its been my saviour on a few occasions, totally outgunned and outnumbered so I chuck grenades everywhere.
Anyone else addicted to Jet? It sucks, I wish I'd never touched the stuff

Been playing about but not impressed. Yes the gameplay is good and it is quite immersive, but I am getting nothing but trouble on a system which more then meets the minimum specs. Constant crashes and lockups of the entire computer.

PS3 all the way!!
Although I would definatly have to say its still not perfect. I've had the game randomly lockup twice in the middle of the wastelands. Considering the hours I've put into this game I can handle the small ratio of lockups. There have been few instances of characters not appearing in the loctions they should (yes, I've checked the time of day). These can usually be solved by leaving the area and returning.

Xbox 360: found a few interesting glitches.
Found an area of rubble I could jump/walk to but not jump/walk out of I could fast travel though.
A strange black scribble thing bouncing arround the screen in the capitol building.
And I did once go into VATS and was unable to select targets or exit.

and I killed my last Behemoth last night

Well I'm gonna start again as soon as my main gaming rig is re-formatted and sorted out again. I've been playing Gears of War 2 on the X-Box 360 since I got it. I'm still humming and harring over getting LIVE Gold or not.

I've just finished the Dunwich Building which has a H.P. Lovecraft overtone to it and I've just been sent to the Vault-Tec HQ. I believe there is also the Bethesda Building somewhere as well, but I've not found that yet.

This problem occurred in Bethesda studios Oblivion RPG. Its very annoying when it happens with an enemy nearby thus denying the use of fast travel. I would have thought this issue would have been solved

I've had that or an inability to select the head I'm had to go out of VATS then back in quickstyle.

Oh yea I also hit the G.O.A.T bug when I first played the game. You sit at the desk but nothing actually happens

http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_3_bugs
This game is full of bugs quite a few of which can ruin your game.

I did wonder about this, I thought that I had done so by accident but didn't believe it.
