'Type A' encounters in practical terms have only one spawn point in the area they can appear, and will usually not leave the immediate area around it unless drawn or forced away from it. Only very few encounters are available in all locations. Some encounters occur only in one group of locations ( A in the location table's 'Group' column) others occur only in the second group of locations ( B in the location table's 'Group' column). Random encounter locations are divided into two groups. Unique encounters can only occur once per play-through whereas repeatable ones can occur at multiple locations. The game can be saved before entering a triggering area, allowing the player to reload the prior save if an activated encounter occurs that is less than desirable.Įncounters can be unique or repeatable. Once a random encounter has been activated in a particular area, no other random event will occur in that area. They should not be confused with scripted events that occur only in certain pre-defined locations. Random encounters in Fallout 3 take the form of unique situations, friendly and/or hostile encounters, or small tasks for the player to perform which are randomly drawn from a broad list of possibilities, and occur in various areas across the Capital Wasteland. This map displays all random encounter locations, both type A(yellow) and B(red), along with Outcast Patrol spawn points(green).
