Fallout 3

Secondly is the Broken Bow near Rivet City. Door seems to need 100 Lockpick skill which I doubt I'll ever have and again no sign of a key anywhere. Need entry to there for a couple of quests too.

How to get into the Broken Bow.

->Open Spoiler<-

Go into the Rivet City Marketplace and exit it via the back entrance. You should find your at the part of the ship that is broken in half. Jump into the water and search underwater. You'll find an entrance to the flooded section of the broken bow.

And make sure you buy either an Environment Suit or a Rad Suit, and dose yourself up on Rad-X first. Thar's isotopes in them thar waters!

Also: C: what's this

motherbrain

you were on about? I cleared out that location fairly well and didn't see anything like that. Although TBH I soon got the gist of the identikit dungeon-style layout and buggered off as soon as I found the item in question.

Also, there's a second item in that place that she asks for, if you didn't pick it up already. You can also find one in the

big library (Arlington?)

and occasionally on the junk trader's caravan if you can't be bothered to go back under...

The

Motherbrain was another robot defending the Vault-Tec HQ that seemed slightly more resiliant than the earlier drones. I may be remembering the name wrong but it was definitely named differently and was even mentioned on one of the computer terminals in the building

Defeating it provided an option to

disable all other sentry drones in the building but by that point I'd destroyed all but one already.

[MattyD]

I thought that might be it. I thought you'd found something in

->Open Spoiler<-

Vault 92

that I'd missed.

[C']

Sorry for confusion. I've not actually headed to

->Open Spoiler<-

Vault 92

yet. My first destination when I get back on this tonight.

[112]

I discovered

->Open Spoiler<-

Vault 112 I was convinced id never find Dad again lol!

yesterday........ i didnt realise how far behind i was with the quest, as ive been doing side missions ever since i let vault 101! lol.........

->Open Spoiler<-

what a cool lil idea of going into the simulation, i didnt realise there were a number of ways to do Bettys 'tasks' But i figured out the combination in the abandoned house to reveal the hidden terminal

Anyways, ive saved Dad and im accompanying him to Rivet City, which im not sure is a good idea, as he is taking me through uncharted territory which id like to discover on my own and take my time. Also the game crashed TWICE when accompanying him! The game has not crashed once yet, till i met the ole bast!

Regarding the woman in Megaton who

->Open Spoiler<-

gives you freebees its directly related to the bomb thing, as i didnt disarm the bomb until about 20 hours in

Im trying to do the game as a goodie 2 shoes so there ARE benefits........ i think.

Just did the

->Open Spoiler<-

factory with all the deformed Chinese soldiers, as SO much fun using VATS and taking them out 1 by 1, my fave level so far!

Still luvin this game! Im tryna see as much as i can without progressing the mission too much, im at Level 10 at the moment and have the VATs

When you have to escort someone and its outside you can just fast travel, its quicker and safer.

How do you do this mate? Is it in the options somewhere?

(GASP!) you mean you've been playing all this time without using fast-travel?

Bring up the world map on pipboy, move stick select destination, press A (or something).

lol........... no no......... i do warp to places, i jus figured that if you have company you had to walk with them to places. I dunno.......... its the first time i had company with me so i wanted to see where the bast would go! I walked all the way to Rivet city with

->Open Spoiler<-

me Pah!

Well i got 3 quarters of the way till the thing crashed on me! Then i gave up and went to bed!

Got to say though, having a companion is hit and miss, i mean i DON'T fight everyone i encounter..........

Can anyone tell me if i am far into the quest if i jus met

->Open Spoiler<-

Dad?

[peeveen]

Phew, thank goodness for that.

I'm kinda at the same point you are, 112. My last save was just outside of the Vault with the virtual reality thingy.

There are six more quests to do in the main storyline, apparently.

Bloody hell Peeveen! Thats not a lot is it?! Might do more side missions for the next few days............. Can't be completing this too soon! Id have to try and play Tomb Raider Underworld again! Don't wanna do that manz!

[112]

Other than consmetic reasons, is there any point in paying over a grand for a theme in the house? Im not broke, but i aint made of bottle caps! pfft!

Oh, I dunno. I've played for 26 hours (it says), but then I've been doing mostly sidequests for achievements since I left the nest ... I'd quite like it to end soon, to be honest.
As for house themes, I'd be able to answer that if I could afford any of them. The most money I've had at any one point was 2500 caps, and I went and spent most of it on repairs for my guns and armour and stuff.

The themes are just for the looks really. You usually get one or two rare items and / or stat-boosting books left in your house as part of the theme, though.

The rest of the stuff for your house is a mixed bag. The jukebox is useless since you can just use your Pip-boy radio and the infirmary is pretty pointless as well seeing as you can just sleep to regain health / heal limbs. The work bench might be useful if you've stashed a lot of junk in your house though.
