Says here you can just buy him, which is what I did. You might need a higher barter or speech skill perhaps. You can also perform a hit for the barman and he'll give you the contract but it involves karma loss and can be practically difficult since the other ghouls will become hostile if they see you do the deed.

[ItsThere]

Hmmm. May try and buy again then!

Cheers Matty.

Charon isn't a 'slave' in the Paradise Falls sense. You can just buy his contract from the barman with no affect on your karma. It's 2000 caps but I think you might be able to speech challenge him to get it lower. He does kill his former employer but that doesn't affect your karma either.

Good thing I already have Charon, or I'd have been somewhat angered by your unmarked spoiler

Not so difficult if you time it right. It's how my bad guy character aquired the contract. My good guy talked the price down to 1000.

I being playing this for the last couple of days.

It start slow but once I found the dog and some guns, I'm now clearing out some area which I used to have to sneak by.

The Pip-Boy Interface is too awkward but I enjoy it so far.

Been playing this over the last week or so. Easily one of the most immersive games I?ve played through in a long while. I never got into Oblivion despite many impressions encouraging me to give it a second try so a lot of the experience this offers is totally new in terms of flexibility and scale of the world.

The game is so successful I feel because of the way each time you play you get new stories to tell that have developed organically through your actions rather than through pre-scripted events.

However it does seem that this freedom comes at a cost for obsessive completionists like myself.

I travelled to Rivet City for Moira?s survival guide quest prior to travelling to GNR Building for the Following In His Footsteps quest. However at Rivet City I spoke to Dr. Li about my father and she revealed details on where I could find him which classed Following In His Footsteps as complete but I never got the achievement for it (presumably as I didn?t complete all tasks in the quest to get the information I did).

[Daragon]

I don't think I got that one either

Might like to spoiler tag that last bit too btw

[Brad]

Spoilers galore in here now!
I usually find it hard to be bad in games but in Fallout i just killed everyone without a second thought. Once I got started I was like 'ahhh, what the hell'. I wonder if that's how serial killers come to be?

[C']

Sorry. I assumed the point in the game I was at was so early that everyone would be past me by now.

Spoiler added.

Likewise - unfortunately being evil and then having a change of heart doesn't always work the way you want

I had originally placed the pulse charge on the bomb inside of Megaton for Mr Burke, but since decided that the town would be worth sparing. Sadly once the charge is placed it can't be removed, so the only way then to clear the quest is to detonate

On a similar note, I'm finding the distinct lack of proper towns rather than simple trading camps to be rather disheartening - there are few houses for me to raid and steal from and the few npcs I've come across so far all seem to have psychic abilities, being able to detect me in sneak mode while asleep

At least there are no psychic guards like in Oblivion "How many Imperial woodsmen guards out in the arse end of nowhere does it take to alert entire cities that you're a murderer? Just the one, and I've already killed him"

[Charlie]

I found the residents of Megatron just as psychic as those pesky guards in Oblivion. As quiet as a mouse I killed that Irish dude who owns the saloon whilst he slept (which, given how everybody hated him, was doing everyone a favour) but on walking out his front door found half the town taking shots at me. Theer's just no way anyone knew I killed him. It's silly.

I found a great way of saving ammo the other day, and thats to use melee weapons! It works a treat!

Oh and cheated a bit last night and followed someones advice in securing my own place in Megaton. Now i can dump a load of stuff i don't use but can't bring myself to get shut of in the lockers! Yay!

My current fave thing to do is to pick up loads of armour and stuff and sell it on to Moira, so now im not broke or low on ammo like i was when i first started! its great!

Is it me or can you get an unlimited amount of Karma points by giving water to the guy who is begging for it outside Megaton? Ive given him 4 bottles now, and as its free from your house, its a win win!

->Open Spoiler<-

level cap being raised from 20 to 30 (hurrah!) and them removing the games ending upon completing the main quest (double hurrah!!)

Both of these are set to happen around march time when Broken Steel comes out.

Daragon, when i first started playing the game i kept running out of ammo, and it never occured to me how effective using knives, lead pipes were, untill the other day lol..........

Don't suppose knowwhat happens if you get 100&#37; radiation do you? Do you explode or something?
