    Dunwich building (Spoilers)

    1-5 are located on a coffee table on your left as you walk in the place. #6 is upstairs on a table iirc, just look for something lighted by a random working lightbulb or computer screen and chances are that's it. I liked the suspense of the storyline, and then inexplicably, it just ends with...

    Wheres Walter? Please help

    Unfortunately Walter might be dead in your game, because there's a bug that has him falling off the balcony to his death. Never let it be said that smoking isn't dangerous. It's possible that he fell off randomly one time you were back in town, and you didn't notice. Bodies vanish after a few...

    Help with Arefu NPC aggro bug pls.

    Just to ask a quick question: Does the Talon have more than one headquarters? It seems they might or might not, depending on how I parse your answer. Is the Talon headquarters in Fort Bannister west of Megaton by any chance? Like an underground bunker? Anyway, thanks for the help, now I have...

    Powerful weapons in FO3...

    But you have the weapon for the rest of the game now, I think is his point. It doesn't disappear after the encounter, you now have the most powerful weapon in the game like 50 min after starting. And I took out the Behemoth with my hunting rifle, because I never saw the quest update to get...

    Help with broken "Those!" quest?

    Ok, I'll go back and check it out... do I need to find the kid in town first you think? And there is more than one of those personal shelters? Because I only saw the one by marigold and the one by the town entrance... sigh, back to town, thanks for the prompt response and the helpful screen...

    Overseer? (very beginning)

    I shot butch, shot Overseer, and went on to become Paladin of the Wastes by finding 100 or so scrap metal and giving them gratis to Megaton's drunk engineer. Who cares? This game can't hold a candle to FO1 or 2.

    Help with Arefu NPC aggro bug pls.

    So, when I solved Arefu's problem I was told that if I check back periodically the "Sheriff" of that town might have some gear for me. I go back and the Talon Mercs have one of their tiresome ambushes waiting for me. Baddies die, naturally, but then they kill a friendly and suddenly the whole...

    Hit Points and Stims

    Sleeping for one hour gives you 100% hp and cures all crippling injuries. That just makes me sad.

    Help with broken "Those!" quest?

    I wound up randomly walking to Marigold station while I was trying to find the "scrapyard" from another quest. I killed all those pesky fire ants, cleared the whole place out top to bottom. 10 hours later I wander into Greyditch by accident (no one tells you anything in this game, it's...

    Places *not* to go.

    I answered your two points in two separate posts, because I noticed the girdershade response later and didn't see the edit button. For me a "double-post" means that I posted the exact same thing twice. You really feel that one quest, and essentially one dialogue interaction was worth all that...

    Out of energy ammo + I have to fight Super Mutants

    Two words: Headshot, Boom. It's cliche but true, crit on mutie head and they're down in one or two. Scoped .44 mag will one-shot them in fps mode, 2-shot in VATS mode (weird). Hunting rifle and sniper rifle work pretty well too. Brutes have like a brazillion % DR, I dunno if there is any easy...

    Places *not* to go.

    Girdershade actually has two whole quests there, one for each person, the rewards are 300 caps for one and a schematic for the other you can buy off a junk dealer (random) for a nuka-cola grenade. Like I don't have 100 frag grenades sitting in my locker? The kicker? Both fetch/gather quests...

    Places *not* to go.

    "A good 2-3 hours of your time", is that what you think? I think it was just filler for 2-3 hours of mindless shooting, searching empty locations and a completely anticlimactic ending ("Ok sure, I'll go home"). All that for one quest, with no followups and no further interactions. You must...

    What if Fallout 3 was only unfaithful in gameplay?

    If they'd put effort into fleshing out these locations and making them fun, and stayed true to the load of quests and consequences of quests (and limitations to taking them), then I'd forgive Bethesda quite a bit. However, I've played like 30 hours and I've only found a handful of people that...

    Places *not* to go.

    Hit level 14, and there's so much wasted time in there, I figure I'd just tell folks a few areas I found that were essentially pointless. Feel free to add your own. Girdershade, west/SW edge of map. I thought this was going to be a town, and finally I'd be able to leave Megaton behind...

    Dunwich building (Spoilers)

    The area was a reference to Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror", a horror novel of the early 20th century that gave us the Necronomicon, an evil book that drives its' readers insane (which in turn inspired the Sam Raimi "Evil Dead" series of films). I enjoyed the reference, and the ammo caches...

    Post-Apocalyptic books

    I don't know if it's been posted yet in this thread: "Hiero's Journey" and "The Unforsaken Hiero" by Sterling E. Lanier Those books were the inspiration for the old pencil&paper game "Gamma World", and if you like your post-apocalyptic world peopled with secret societies, evolved...
