I've killed all the guardian ants, and the queen is all that's left. Is it best to kill it or do as the Doc says and let it live in the name of science? Does either choice affect Karma? I'm also really low on health and feel like i might go and die if I fight it.
And also, does that robot wandering around with the queen do anything significant? I'd go over to it but that giant queen is all up in its business.
I was wondering the same thing! I have a follow-up as well...
I left the Queen alone, but then followed the scientist as he went back to his equipment. When he got there, the Queen tore him to pieces. Was that supposed to happen?
Also, how in the hell do I find a home for that kid? That's still sitting in my active quest log, days after I completed the rest of the quest.
Well, I decided to kill it and see what happened.
The doctor got angry, which I expected, and headed down to the computer and sat there. I also hacked the computer before going back and destroyed the mutagen. It gave an option to create a new mutagen, but it said I needed a master sample or something.
And now he's going to do it again and doesn't seem to really give a shit about Bryan.
You do get Karma for killing the queen, though.
If you let it live...
The doctor gives you a shot of your choice, Ant Might or Ant Sight. It's +1 to STR or PER, plus 25% resistance to fire. I've also heard that if you hassled him for a reward before doing the quest, he'll also give you his lab coat with +10 Science. After you turn it in, you can then go back down and blow up the queen for karma. So you should let it live first and get the free stat gain.
You should also shoot the doctor, because he's a complete asshole.

But if he succeeds he could solve a lot of problems in the world. Its a tough decisions since the problem at hand is his fuck up but I gave him the benefit of the doubt.
So did anyone else glitch the NPC system? I had Dogmeat and Charon with me when I met Star Paladin whateverthefuck, and she went through her whole spiel and offered to join me, which I accepted. I then had two NPC's and Dogmeat.
Endgame spoilers:
After getting caught by the Enclave, and escaping though, when trying to get them back, they won't join me with Fawkes in my party already.

People were talking about the Naughty Nightwear in the previous thread
I loved that little miniquest.
Lugnut showed up and he's all like, "Give me the Naughty Nightwear," and I said, "No way, it's mine, you'll have to fight me for it," and the best line in the game so far, he says, "That's the stupidest thing you could have ever said."
Just the way he said it was awesome. So matter of fact.
And then I blew his face off with a shotgun.

When you have someone as badass as Fawkes, you don't need anyone else. Try to kill him. See how long it takes.

Not the point. It wasn't what he was trying to do, which was actually ok. It was his complete disregard for human life that pissed me off. You don't care that you wiped out a whole town to get where you are so far? You don't give a shit that a kid lost his father? Fine, I don't care that my gun accidentally fired and blew your face off.

I cared less(but still cared) about what he did to the town, I was more pissed off that he created these goddamn fire ants that I had to deal with. Fuck those ants, and fuck him, crushed his body with a sledgehammer. After he gave me my rewards.

Looking beyond the fact that the guy is an asshole, I'm wondering what the benefit of his studies are. Was he trying to shrink the ants back down to normal size? While I can see the benefit of having tiny ants, I'm wondering how this is a huge benefit to humans everywhere when you also have Super Mutants killing your mans.
I mean seriously. Get rid of those Super Mutants and you can physically scar all the ten year olds you want.

So early on I freed the kids and opted not to kill all the slavers because I thought that Eulogy and his slaver group couldn't be the worst thing that could happen to the wastelands... the Last, Best, Hope of Humanity was.
Then I did Strictly Business at level 20. I realized that I should just kill everybody in Paradise Falls to free the slaves that I helped capture. So I did. Then I remembered that one of the slaves there can travel with you. Is she only available if you're evil? Also, if you have a companion can you just ditch them someplace and pick them up later?
I think I may just leave things as they are since I don't feel like killing all the slavers and piling them up in places again. Should have just chain bottlecap'd them all in their sleep, but ah well. So, can you get her?
Oddly enough, Butcher Pete didn't play as I did this. :S

I think in one of the other fallout threads we've already discussed how old songs are just about as perverted as newer ones, just done indirectly/subtly. :P

The line was 'chomping on his cell mate', I think - but regardless, I agree. Butcher Pete is a mad mandingo, whose mighty member is irresistable to womenkind. He's hackin' and whackin' and smackin'.

Don't let him near your baby. He just might eat it, that crazy Butcher Pete.

You can buy her from Eulogy. It might only be available if you're evil, or it might just be cheaper, I'm not sure.
I slaughtered Paradise Falls on my good playthrough.
Oh man, am I going to have to open up a can on someone?
Yeah...pretty much.
Ah, well. It's only Karma, after all.

Re: Tenpenny Solution
Dude, I just went back. Some of the bigots left, and Tenpenny is mysteriously absent, but everyone else is living together happily. Guard Capt. said that he didn't like it, but so long as Tenpenny is paying him.
I assume Tenpenny did something stupid like fall off the building.

Yea. I don't feel like replaying the quest since I only did it for the achievement you get for its completion.
So my original judgement of "there could be worse out there" still stands. Though I'd love to kill that father/son of slavers again.
I also spent like 15 minutes trying to put a bucket on Leroy Walker's head after I killed him. I almost got it.

“I used to draw, hard to admit that I used to draw...”
Paladin Hoss: He doesn't always lead you where you need to go, or suddenly stops when the mission fails silently. After you succeed, he will sometimes appear randomly and then run away when you fast travel / sleep.
Sam Warrick: Kill this fucker asap. He goes around sniping anything, essential or not. If there are quest npcs set non essential, he can kill them. Some people have found him with other quest items on him (keys, etc...), though nothing that breaks the main quest.
Paladin Hoss was a crazed stalker in my game. Whenever I used a bed, I'd wake up, see Paladin Hoss standing next to me for a second, then he'd see me and run off in into the wasteland.
Freak.
This has happened for my entire game.
I exit one area to enter another, there is a 40% chance that Hoss is going to be on the other side of the door, running away.

The internet gives me a native +2 bonus in Craft (Disturbing Mental Image).
So I went to the Regulator HQ in an attempt at turning in some fingers but no one there will take them or even bring up a dialogue screen at all. I've traveled there several different times thinking maybe the NPC is out doing something and I even looked around outside the house but still nothing. Anyone else have this problem or is there something I'm just missing?
So is it ever explained what the hell happened? I got to what I would assume is the bottom and fought the random tunnell snakes and predator survivor. then I went into the cave with all the skeletons and it seems like thats it. Was I suppose to go into that place while in the "blue"? did I miss a door somewhere? I have to know!

Alright so there's something odd going on right near Reilly's Rangers place.
So in the same area of their builder near where there was a Super Mutant camp there's this alley way. There's some lunatic going on and on about a worm, trees, and the sun trying to consume us all. So I went to investigate but the alley is full of mini-nukes and frag mines. I've died a few times walking through there and once managed to trigger them without dying. But the only thing there was one dead wasterlander and another cowering one who said it was quiet.

Probably, but I couldn't figure it out either.
I found some random dude ducking behind a wall and when I talked to him he said he was afraid to go in because the guy would set off the bombs. So I convinced him to go anyways.. and dude runs in, gets the shit blown out of him. His head landed by my feet, his body ended up near the other end of the alley.
It was so funny I reloaded my auto save a few times just to send him in for more explosions.
(I suppose this might be more of a technology in general question, but I'm having Fallout 3-specific issues, so here it goes)
So, this is a problem I had in Oblivion, for which I never really found a fix. I'm on Vista, and apparently Vista's "Tilde Key Driver(tm)" or whatever is incompatible with everything outside of text entry. Meaning I can't access the console in most games. Is there anything I can do about it? Anyone playing this on Vista that can use it?
Also (and I suspect it could be related), I can't use the mouse wheel to zoom the 3rd person camera. When I first started playing it was in close for a bit (even when outside, so it wasn't bumping into walls), but something along the way happened and now it's zoomed out really far. I kinda want to look at my dude's face every once in a while, so is there something I can do about that as well?
