Did I find some insane secret?

I don't really understand what's happening in these screenshots and I can't really read any of it. :(

I don't really understand what's happening in these screenshots and I can't really read any of it. :(

it's a bit on the tech end of it I am afraid, but the world space in the game is divided up into square blocks, the geck renders this data so we can see just where they connect at. there is nothing there too read. the second linked in shot, should you down load it and blow it up, Identifies all the break points of these Giant square cube sized blocks of world space sections. Cells, as they are commonly called.

 

Each cell is loaded with 5 adjacent cells according too the ini U grids settings. all the data contained in each cell will preload into ram so when you peer across the cells "invisible walls" you see the next cells content making it appear as a real world.

 

Anomalies form in ram due to many things when this takes place. The meat, coming up out of a stone / brick as you described is an anomaly . that Brahman meat was most likely in another cell but the reference ID's in ram got crossed so it loaded right where you were standing.

 

the pictures are there to show you what to look for if you use the geck and inspect that spot under the bridge and see if a Green dividing line is near that point. or if the spaces are separated ever so slightly, if so, you have a duality taking place, the engine will in fact render things from 2 places in one locationas it must load all that's contained in the grids pre-loading.

 

Mods cause this to happen, and By default in this game these thing do occur.

 

it's just an inside look at he game data to help you with some understanding. IF you can that is? apologies if not.

Hi,

regarding your opening post. That piece of "storage meat" might be part of an exploded caravan pack brahmin. Are the trade caravans still ok? :)

It seems that one thing has not been mentioned here.

 

The game has random events which occur and occasionally while you are exploring you can come across them.

 

For instance: The alien weapon can be found at a couple of points on the map if you show up just as an explosion occurs near by. It seems to fall from the sky, you don't see it but the jet boom and crashing noise event is a sign it or ammunition for it has fallen to Earth.

 

After the event you find an alien weapon or more ammo.

 

It is not uncommon to have event's repeated in different locations. There are several random events and if you play through the entire game and start another game you may find new and interesting encounters you did not the first time.

 

Reloading a game after a random event erases it and moves that particular to another location.

 

Another example is: I met a friendly mutant on one occasion and Joe gave me some interesting information. After playing the game again I tried the encounter thinking it was normal. When he did not show up I got suspicious and reloaded the game several times at the save point and after several reloads he appeared again. I was attacked by assassins at that point too.

 

Everything is not what it seems all the time in Fallout 3. IMO that made it more fun.

The game's random encounters.

you should get the firelance with about 20-30 alien power cells with that missile explosion encounter

 

 

as for the OP, I agree with Alfred said. It could be highly possible it was a piece of a trader's pack brahmin that was dismembered in a fight with some nasty creature. hence all the items in it's inventory. and when you reloaded the save, it was gone since it was not recorded into the save file

I understand that the game is a bit buggy at times.

Earlier today I was in front of the Washington Monument fighting the Super Mutants when suddenly a dead Protectron literally came flying down from the sky and proceeded to bounce around like a ball a couple times before landing.

 

That is really funny!
