Special encounter

Special encounters are random encounters that usually don't fit the canon or the game world at all and are unique. They are in the game mostly for fun though some of them are very dangerous (Mad Brahmins) and some able you to get some nice loot (Bridge Keeper). Most of these encounter are references to pop culture or other games or even earlier Fallouts (Cafe of Broken Dreams)
