Scaled items (Fallout 3)

It is a Bethesda tradition to add giant versions of items to their games, and Fallout 3 is no exception.

Oversized items and undersized items are items (usually junk) which are scaled larger or smaller than normal.

They can be used as unique decorations for your house. Items of unusual size exhibit slightly peculiar behavior compared to "regular" objects - you can pick them up from where you found them and drop them somewhere only once. You can keep them in your inventory or in storage indefinitely (though you won't be able to tell them apart from a regular item of the same type). Drop them on the ground and they will still retain their size. However, if you pick the item up and drop it again, it will lose its "special" size and become a normal object. When you get any oversized item, you should take them to your house in Megaton, or your suite in Tenpenny Tower.
