Letting the Ghouls in is actually the only way to resolve it in a positive way. You get negative karma for helping them storm through the sewers and kill the residents, and negative karma for killing the ghouls for Gustav.

When I talked to that cunt Roy Phillips I just told him he was a hypocrite so he made some limp threat toward me and I blew his head apart with my combat shotgun and that was that.

Try the Barracks(has his own personal room in the way back) or the meeting room in Ring A. I've also seen him wander around the Lab as well.

Before you get permission for power armor, you might as well unlock the option to get permission to use the quartermaster. Go to the armory and talk to her(It's in the lab, on the lower level,) then find Lyons and knock out both.

Yeah, I had assumed Bajah was at least that far, since thats the only time ingame you can find out that Elder Lyons deals out permission for the training.

Well, now that I think about it. I think the Lyons BoS branch Knights outside have a dialogue option about learning how to use it, even if you just started the game.

if you mean The Outcasts at Fort Independence, they sorta point you towards Lyons as far as joining the BoS.

This is correct. That's where I heard it. hehe

They go "Paladin soandso can teach you, but you have to get permission from Elder Lyons first. He's usually outside the Lab."

And Lab is capitalized like it should mean something to me, but that's a big happy hell no there.

Questions!

  • I played through the entire story and never even saw Dogmeat. Is there some trick to getting him, like the previous games, or did I do something wrong?

  • Does Dad ever explain why he suddenly leaves the Vault 20 years after going in? What prompts him to restart Project Purity?

  • ...so whatever happened to the two ambassadors the Overseer left in Megaton?

1. He's in The Scrapyard, a little south by southeast of Minefield. Just walk around until you hear gunfire, he'll be in the process of chewing the throats of some Raiders.

2. In on one of his recent Project Purity Journal Logs, he says he restarted because you've become an adult, and as much as it hurts him to say it, you don't need your father anymore.

3. I dunno, I didn't end Trouble On The Homefront like you did I guess.

Nah, this is right at the beginning, as you're escaping the Vault. You can read a scouting report on the Overseer's terminal that mentions Megaton. The report says two people from the Vault were left there as ambassadors, but I don't recall ever seeing them.

It does help explain the Armored Vault Suit Moira has, though.

Yeah. That's my only real complaint about the game. There's only one big city that I've really found, Rivet City, and there's only like three or four quests in it.

You make it with a schematic. Easiest way to get it is to go west of Tenpenny Tower, you'll find the F. Scott Key Campground (look for a flagpole). There you'll find a Deathclaw and a trailer with the schematic.

Deathclaws are pretty tough though, so you may want to bring the dart gun and some bottlecap mines if you're low level.

Dart gun makes them much easier, since it cripples their legs and they can't pounce anymore. After that it's a simple matter of blasting their heads off with Lincoln's rifle.

I blew through most every stim pack I had, every piece of ammo I had, and was using trails of land mines near the end there.

Then I found Rivet City and bought more shotgun shells than I'll ever need. I love blowing people's heads apart.


Just got the game today. Always aim for the head. The boy suggests to aim for the antennae, but unless you have a weak-ass weapon, a few shots to the head should do the trick real fast. Action points, my friend

Seeing how you can buy a hunting rifle for around 65, it shouldn't be too bad.

If you're playing as a good guy, do you ever find out who put a price on your head and get to confront them about it? My last game I only did a few side quests before finishing the main quest, because I didn't think finishing the main quest would stop the game.

I'm running with the assumption that it was Alistar Tenpenny, since my first run through they showed up shortly after I disarmed the bomb, and my second time shortly after I killed Mr. Burke for shooting the Sheriff after I turned him in. Unless it was just a coincidence. Though I did the Tenpenny Towers quests my first time and never got any sort of hints that he was the one trying to kill me.

Also, Blackhawk breaks the game. I just got it and I one shot everything except for Deathclaws, Giant Radscorpions, and Behemoths. And the Deathclaws only take four shots, Radscorpions two, and I don't know about Behemoths. Haven't fought one yet with it. But I just assume it's not going to one shot it. I had to get the only one I fought(in the Capital Building) stuck in a door to kill it.

PRO TIP

Do the little mini-quest inside the "Nuka-Cola Factory" to get the formula for "Nuka-Cola Clear". Go to the "Red Rocket Tricycle Factory" just NE of the "Nuka-Cola Factory" and meet the gang with hockey masks outside the door. Sell them the formula.. then kill them. There's no karma penalty for killing them. Loot the hockey mask from the leader.

DR: 5
AP: +25

Best piece of headwear in the game so far.

It's the best piece of headwear period, sadly. Power Armor helmets are only 8 DR and only have Rad Resistance(Or CHR-1 and more Rad Resistance.) All other headwear has very little in the way of bonuses.
