Fallout 3/NV/TTW things you might not know [*SPOILERS*]

probably why they aren't in FNV, it's not really a trap, it's an activatable mfc dispenser.

In The Pitt, if you are facing Ashur's Building, to your left is an apartment building you can enter and explore from the street on the same side as the exit from the steel yard tunnels.

i use it to escape after killing ashur or for some extra exploring before killing werhner, there's actually a lot of decent loot in there and a few locked doors

Well if you've never encountered or noticed the traps in toilets then you don't realize that you can disarm them and get 35 microfusion cells for your trouble...

Found all sorts of traps (mailboxes and strollers are favorites), but never exploding toilets. Look in the bowl for goodies (chems not turds) but never paid attention to the tank unless something like a teddy bear hanging out in the tank caught my attention.

I typically don't spend time starting at toilet stalls when I'm playing Fallout.

because they don't explode, they electrocute you if you attempt to drink.  from a toilet.  largely why no one knows about the handful of them that exist, why they were cut for NV, and why we refer to them as "free MFCs"

But that's a huge part of immersion. You know how Casdin complains about Radaway going right through him. He's got to keep an eye out for toilets, logistics of using a toilet while wearing power armor is an entirely different discussion

My character just does his business wherever. See that corner over there? Yep. That's the one.
