On my most successful character so far I was driving the semi I had fixed up down some random road looking for labs or military bunkers to raid. I came upon a missile silo and with my high computer skills gained from days of marathon reading, started to explore it.
Dealt with a few robots I believe, and picked up some neat gear before I reached a mysterious console which I hacked into. I then was given the option to launch or disable the missile.
For lulz and possible !fun! I decided to launch the missile and ran out of there as quickly as I could. As soon as I reached the surface, swarms of angry critters emerged for my blood. So many that they almost filled my entire screen. I checked my map and my fears were confirmed.
I had just launched a missile smack in the middle of a swamp.
I ate all the drugs I could handle and made a mad sprint for my truck, the angry insects, frogs, slugs, and other nightmarish swamp critters closing in just as I slammed the semi’s door and tore off down the road. I swear I ran down at least a hundred swamp monsters, and they just kept on coming even after I had left the swamp far behind.
I thought I had escaped, but the swamp never forgets, and it never forgives.
A few in-game days later I had long forgotten about the close encounter, my truck was repaired and the blood washed off. I had discovered a lab that was far enough away (5 or so tiles) from that very same swamp that I felt safe to go loot it.
When I emerged from the lab, they were waiting for me and this time I couldn’t escape. I expended much ammunition before I was overwhelmed.
First character I lasted until summer with too.
