Brahmin Steak or Bighorner Steak?
Also favourite weapon from any Fallout game. Doesn't even have to be the most powerful weapon. Go!

Hmmmm nothing? I have too many that I like and not one I love enough.
If it really came down to choices it would be probably one of the following......the Red Ryder LE BB Gun from Fallout 2, the M60 from Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics, and or the Shishkabob from Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
While Tactics isn't really canon.....shredding Super Mutants in the streets of St Louis with and M60 is memorable as hell.
I never had the pleasure of playing Fallout 2 and only got to play a bit of Fallout 1 and while Fallout 3 had a great many number of weapons I liked I find that New Vegas had 2 that I just used non-stop when I first got them. The Mysterious Magnum and Dinner Bell the shotgun. This is coming from a guy who is all about DPS and explosives.
Oh and nice to see you Kador.

/Walks up with Euclid's C-Finder in hand wearing a Grimy Pre-war Business suit with Charisma 8 and Speech 100
Gentlemen please. Let's not argue. We are merely waiting for the announcement of something potentially historic. Grab a Nuka-Cola, pull up a chair.

Gentlemen please. Let's not argue. We are merely waiting for the announcement of something potentially historic. Grab a Nuka-Cola, pull up a chair. *A schizophrenic addict suddenly appears behind you with 100 Sneak, 6 Agility, and 8 Intelligence, stealthboy having worn off, wearing an Exposed Prostitutes outfit and appears to be chewing on a Nuka Grenade [Explosives 43]. As soon as Jakar mentions Cola he raises the grenade in toast.....then suddenly starts screaming realising people can see him."EAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! THE EYES! EVERYWHERE! MUST EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT THEM! STAB THEM....... FILL THEM FOOL OF BOOM POWDER....... HEHEHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!" ((Yes my Fallout Characters are psycho's, addicts, and generally ****** up people.))
Can't say I blame you. I mean the Wasteland is a ****** up place. Usually I play my characters as someone who is genuinely an average person in terms of behaviour but with a strange quirk. Like that one time I collected teddy bears in Fallout 3 even if it meant dropping something. Or my smooth talking seductive female courier with a penchant for cannibalism which she tried to resist but had to keep with.
My favourite was probably my explosives guy. Used energy weapons on the side but explosives were the end all and be all. Addicted to Mentats like crazy. Took every perk that made things go bigger boom. Oh Annabelle... my sweet sweet missile launcher. Then he found Euclid's C-Finder and activated ARCHIMEDES II. I think I might do a playthrough like that again.
Wait forget what I said about Dinner Bell and the Mysterious Magnum, while they are my favourites the best has to be the Rock-It Launcher. Nothing better than killing Enclave with Teddy Bears.

If it's well written with interesting characters that move the plot along well. I think the "poor and generic plot" can be forgiven. Also that sort of madness seems almost Lovecraftian. And if it's even remotely Lovecraftian I might like it.
Since we're still here waiting in anticipation for Fallout 4. I have to ask what is one( because given it's fallout I'm sure there are many) of your most interesting, wildest or even terrifying moments playing a Fallout game. Question extends to any who stop by.
My most memorable was perhaps when I encountered the Dunwich building in Fallout 3. At the time I had no idea about the Cthulhu mythos that inspired it but it freaked me out to no end. It also actually gave me a pathological fear of ghouls in Fallout despite them being reasonably weak, Reavers not withstanding. I've rarely had a game change tone in such a way to make me feel like I was playing a completely different game.
The Wasteland was never the same after I left. Even now when I play Fallout 3 I don't even go to Tenpenny Tower. That land is cursed I tell you.

My most memorable was actually from New Vegas. I decided to give it one last go despite the fact that I really didn't care for it and I chucked in Wild Wasteland just to see what it was all about.
I found Indiana Jones' skeleton in the fridge and heard the robot cops at the entrance to New Vegas kill someone while saying "Exterminate". And a few other things I won't spoil.
This actually brings up something I want to ask as well.
Between Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, we know that most people consider Fallout 3 to be the superior game and while I understand that after playing through New Vegas I realise it actually had more robust mechanics in terms of options available. Stats were more fleshed out, Every skill had a purpose, Even Luck which was pretty much meaningless in Fallout 3 had a purpose - cleaning the casinos out for example.
Mind you New Vegas technically is more linear in terms of what you can do but the options for interaction were more extensive.
Personally though Fallout 3 sells me on the exploration. Just turning around every second, seeing something in the distance and going "Oooh what's that?"
Also another highly amusing moment is when you first encounter the AntAgonizer and The Mechanist at Canterbury Commons.
Also when you first get the Mirv and fire it not fully realising what it can do.
Sorry if I'm so talkative I finished a play through of New Vegas earlier today and then found out not shortly after about the countdown.

Knowing Bethesda's release schedule I'm thinking October. Both Fallout 3 and New Vegas were released in October if I remember correctly.
