I notice during up close head-splosions that the eye gibs actually come out of the sockets on the head. It's like that ghoul is saying
"OH MY, MY HEAD APPEARS TO BE EXPLODING AND I AM QUITE UPSET BY THIS!"
nice little attention to detail instead of having the head just explode from a central point.
you can resolve that quest peacefully and with no bad karma (which you get for letting ghouls in) By talking to tenpenny after talking to the ghouls and then talking to the residents.
oh, awesome. I had heard about other people doing it and it sounded like the only option was everyone ending up dead.
Even if you do it like that, Roy ends up killing all the humans because he's a tremendous douchebag.

Haha, man.
Reading through the forums that won't be named, I came across this fantastic tidbit.
1) Poor graphics. If the graphics were just as F2, i would be content. Even today, they still look cool. Instead of it, they opted for the 3d-thing. But they made it crappy, choppy, lifeless... completely outdated.

lets face it, Roy just had the balls to do what you didn't. All those fuckers deserved to die.

The shopkeepers who you have to 'convince' (run off) are pretty much unredeemable assholes, but the rest of the tenants seemed to just be misled about ghouls, thinking they were all evil and horrible. Roy had no right to do what he did, and I gave him what he deserved, a bullet to the back of the head.
get into the Jefferson Monument? I have the tapes from Liam Neeson and I've talked to the doctor in Rivet City, yet the subquest boxes aren't ticking off.
Listen to the recordings?
I did, though I only have four. Are there more?
As fast as this thread moves someone may have answered this already. But there are seven I believe. I had the same problem only got a few at first and then had to go back and find the others.
There are:
3 in the rotunda on top of the machine at the top of the ramp right before you go into the circular room.
And 2 sets of 2 in two different rooms in the memorial.
I went with the good karma option, got rid of the bigots and convinced Tenpenny to let the ghouls move in peacefully. I returned a couple days later to find that Roy had had all the humans wiped out. I got royally pissed. My heartrate went up, my breathing quickened, and my vision started to blur. All I could think was, "Roy, you motherfucker. I got rid of the bigots for you, got you out of that shithole subway, and you pull this shit. Well, asshole, you don't get to win." Then I tracked him down and shoved a frag grenade up his ass. I'll take the karma hit, some people just need killing.

When you're a spy, it's a good idea to give away your trade secrets in a voiceover on a TV show.

All of them? Even Herbert "Daring" Dashwood? I think not, good sir.

I felt like Roy was justified in what he did. After dealing with Burke, I was so fed up with Tenpenny Towers that I led the charge myself.

Pretty sure I found more than that, though I'm not home to check (If I were, I certainly wouldn't be posting).

Better Days
There are more tapes than that. I was just detailing the personal logs. I thought you need just those. But apparently per the BP you only need the 3 in the rotunda I guess. Actually makes sens now that I think about what's on them.
Anyone else had the unique alien encounter? UFO flies towards ground, explodes, and rains down a alien blaster pistol and ammo... Not the intact UFO...

i thought so, too, until i found out they'd killed
Yeah, so I completed the game. Anyways, I decided to go back to an earlier save and do the side stuff.
Slaver stuff:
Flak and Rivet City, is it possible to get the collar on him without everyone in Rivet City suddenly deciding they want me dead? I managed to do that with Red and whats her face from Tenpenny Tower.

I've got a spare copy of Portal, if anyone wants it message me.
What are some interesting things I should check out before going in? I know DC is full of stuff.
I have a good amount of ammo for my Chinese AK, Combat Shotty, and plenty of backup ammo. Should I go get the repeater rifle? Or will there be plenty of side quests offered in Rivet City?

There are definitely random generated encounters. I saved at the top of the point where the Alfa Lima tower is and heard an explosion. I reloaded to see if I could see it and a bunch of civvies ran past me chased by a Death Claw who stopped to kill me and so I reloaded and a squad of hitmen were there trying to kill me.
This time theres a scavenger with a robot that needs repairing.
And whats special about the super sledge? It does the same damage as the sledgehammer/
I was in Vault 87 and I rescued Fawkes and now my job was just to get out. However, I get stuck in a wall. "No problem", I think and use the no-clip code. Well.. I was also kind of lost, so I decide to fly on over to the door out and leave. I then disable no-clip and start running. But the quest marker points back to the door into the vault.. I enter and now it points to the same door from the other side. Repeat ad nauseam.
I better reload an old save. Gaarh.

So I haven't read any of this thread. and I probably won't since it's mostly full of spoilers, but I am definitely hooked on this game. I'm not very far at all.
My main quest is to go to GNR, but I'm ignoring it and doing sidequests for now. Just finished off chapter 1 of Moira's book. I also completed the Blood Ties questline. And earlier today before I went to work I discovered that elementary school full of bandits in Springvale, which is where I left off.
My brother decided to start playing the game too. It's the first big console game he's played in a year. Normally he plays that ASCII roguelike called Dungeon Crawl, but Fallout 3 has totally hooked him. Looks like he's fallen in love with the laser pistol.
This game is turning out far better than I had expected.

there is an event that has to happen on the way out of the vault to further the story, thats unavoidable unless you use a cheat.
So I think my theory was well founded. The more time I spent in Megaton, the more I realise how hollow it is short of the one person and her quests because its possible for it not to be there at all.
Um so I got to the president part after freeing Fawkes
Why did he order his men to shoot me on site? Because now his robots are killing them. I'm lost.
did you not pay attention to the anouncement of Colonel Autumn countermanding the presidents order to let you come to him, and ordering them all to shoot you on sight? Thats why. The president controls the robots, Autumn controls the soldiers, The president wants to meet you so he has his robots blast the traitors who went against his order at the urging of autumn

Oh, so that was Colonel Autumn. I thought the president was telling them to kill me. On second thought, that's pretty insane on my part.
I've had it for a couple of days thanks to an awesome boyfriend. I haven't gotten too far in it, but I'm having more fun than anyone should in a post-apocalyptic wasteland of death.
Spoilers for the Family:
I've just finished the quest line with the Family. It is one of the most gloriously fucked-up things I have ever seen, especially if you spend the time to dig into the dialog. IAN FUCKING RIPPED HIS OWN PARENTS APART IN A MOMENT OF INSANE BLOODLUST, AND THEN THE PSEUDOVAMPIRES OF THE FAMILY DRANK THEIR BLOOD TO PROTECT HIM. It's been a while since I've played a game that rewards going through the dialog tree in that way, and I am loving it. Reminds of the old-school Lucas Arts games.

That's not what I took from that quest at all.
I was under the impression that the vampires did it, or the head vampire did it, and simply brainwashed the kid into thinking he did it so he would join their clan.

This one stumped me for a moment when I ran into it.
Nuka Grenades + Stealthboy + Pickpocket.
Reading through the forums that won't be named, I came across this fantastic tidbit.
I killed like four who attacked me at once with it, barely any damage.

best bet is the scrounger perk + doing the rounds to all the merchants and caravaners ever couple of game days.
