Re-playing it, as I'd messed up, shouldn't have take the 10% bonus xp perks as you hit the level cap, grrr.
Ok:
Flamer is awesome up close, the "Burnmaster" named flamer, found in highly radioactive tunnels under the city some place, is hell on wheels!!! Muhaha!
Charon is an awesome companion, especially when you give him the "antAgonizer" helmet...haha, it looks so damned silly!!
There are two massive nuclear suprises in game...
[sblock="Nuke Em Till They Glow!"]
Around the land out, doors only, you find 5 tapes from the KELLER family, these unlock a place in the National Guard amrory...a named Fatman nuke launcher. The warheads "MIRV", that is, split..so, you get 8 mini nukes when you fire it in a spread....OMFG....!!!
You know the big satellite towers way north west? I haven't done this one yet, but...apparently there is a command that will trigger a nuclear strike..that is, not a mininuke, but full on multiple nuke strike on the surrounding area...this one I have GOT to see!!!
Satcom Array NW--05a

the games fabulous, but, it's so upsettign seeing nuked schools etc, and some of the sad, well-done vigeettes, like the relay radio broadcast begging for help for a guy's sick son..you find them both, long since dead
The "nuke booby trapped alleyway" omg, I didn't expect that, hehe!!
"The worm! THE WORM IN MY HEAD!"
"Make him SHUT UP!!!"
Oasis, that's a cool and very odd scenario indeed, and links to Fallout 1 and 2.
"Exploding Pants", is the best thing ever...I didn't know you could do it with mines!! Bottlecap mines would be a bastard for that, muhaha!!
I found an Ant tunnel way out by Shalebridge, iirc, where you find small, green (non enemy) ants, you can inject their eggs with a stimpack to increase growth...no idea what that's for. Quest ?
