I love me some Fisto!.
There's "The Shocker", a unique power fist that does double damage to all robots.
same place as everyone else, the nexus.
oh and super mutant radio station. http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2236
There's a stat up there.
Currently playing: GW2 and TSW
I talked to everyone, realized what my options were (sooo obvious) and started shooting because that little compound didn't make sense at all. How they cope with the local wildlife/raiders was beyond me. So I just did what logically shouldn't happened ages ago.
And screw invincible children. I can sell adults/children into slavery and murder people in cruel ways but shooting kids is a nono. Whatever.

I won't spoile anything but Dave has some involvement with another quest
This I did not know. Spoil it! (use tags)

I let them live because though they were racist assholes, the ghouls were even worse.
Assholes.
or if you let them in
Oh hi Enclave fieldbase, what's cooking? Oh Enclave Officer, where you runnin to? Oh shit, shit shit, deathclaw cage, SHOOT HIS FUCKING FACE OFF!
...
*click* FUCK RUN FUCK FUCK FFFFUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKK!
Actually, no, the best way to do that quest is to follow the pre-release 5-part gameplay demo and stuff a grenade into Roy's (or whoever the ghoul is outside Tenpenny) knickers, but then realize later that you want to sympathize with the ghoulies. It's not like I already
Yes, I know, it's the same one that Moira gives you. But your entire entourage has to match! Someone make a mod where you can clothe Dogmeat.
I knew you were going to say that...just didn't want to wade through some of the crap there.

that's what search and categories are for.
This always struck me as a little ridiculous. The generous part of me wants to say the residents are supposed to be so cold and haughty they don't even care, but it feels more like "different map so it didn't happen".
they dont know it didnt happen because he never leaves his suite, they even say so.
Same thing happens if you brutally murder Roy too
I got pissed at Tenpenny's snide and rude remarks and removed his face with a shotgun blast. Then I tossed his body over the railing and watched it plummet 5 stories. Best. Death. Ever. Besides the randomly exploding Protector droids that fly through space.
OH, also.

Oh dude. You have no idea.

Thanks...now I don't have to deal with these "categories" and this "searching" that Deaderinred was trying to hassle me with.
Edit: Besides, I probably won't get into mods until my second playthrough.

you also should install this and starting hunting Super Mutant Gargantuans.
you should also install this.
this is threedog, OWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
yes.
explosives pack (c4 tnt ect)
destructible mini mukes and other stuff (lets you say be more creative in trap laying, like putting a mini nuke on the floor next to a few mines and watch that mole rat fly. )
explosive explosives (different but similar mod to the above)
and remote triggered explosives although i haven't tried this one yet.

No, make him a drunken brawler.
Fists only!
This is a better idea. I might just start one like that on the side very soon. It helps I am drinking whiskey right now, and coincidentally wherefrom I got the idea.
I love whiskey.
Edit: How do unarmed characters generally fare out in the wastes at random? Could I expect to be eviscerated by roving bandits and animals? Or is there some other combo of skills and such that I can use to make my way through in my quest for booze?

The hardest part is closing to melee range.
You'll go through a lot of stimpacks but it can be done. I think if you're just doing it for comedic effect, I'd drop the difficulty to easy. You still take a lot of damage but it's survivable.
You can also use cover to force enemies to come to you, but it takes a lot of patience which a drunk would not have.
Seriously, I'm playing on hard and my 4 endurance character with a 4 DR jacket hardly ever takes a hit because every enemy I encounter goes straight for Dogmeat or RL3 while I just walk up to them and take their head off with a shotgun.
Also the iron fist and toughness perks will turn you into a beast. The worst thing about melee is for some baffling reason you can't target specific body parts with melee attacks, but I'm sure someone has modded that back in.
The easy idea is very good. I'll honestly probably get bored with it after a couple levels, but running around everywhere drunk punching people will do its job at the giggle factor. That, and I can keep a save and go back to it when I need an uplift.
On another note, my secret santa sent me a bunch of books, but the first one I cracked open (because the subject matter interests me INTENSELY) was Beyond Armageddon. It is a collection of 21 short stories that are all about life after a nuclear war. The second to last story, A Boy and his Dog smacks pretty heavily of Fallout. And it was written in 1969.
For a quick rundown, the world is a wasteland, women are a commodity, and rich people live underground in what they call, "downunders". It was almost like some sort of fanfic, but very well written. The book is worth tracking down because all the stories are great, but this one story is particularly haunting and worth the read alone. Besides, it would take at most 30 minutes to read if you are some dummy slow read-y type.
Apparently they made a movie, and I am now in the hunt for it.
Edit:
I'm on the 360
In a few months I will build a PC capable of playing this game (and others), but for now I am on a MacBook.

And oh yeah, I totally decapitated Anna Holt for being a backstabbing betraying bitch.
