Official Fallout 3 Spoilers/Hints/Strategy Thread™

[Wintermute]

Oh ok, thats understandable, can someone please tell me where Ian west is since this is the spoiler thread im tired of looking for the bastard.

Just south of Germantown or w/e that Police Station West/South-West of Minefields there's a train station.

Go in and follow the tracks, but be careful, there's a lot of traps. Mines and Trip-Wires.

There's be a fork in the tracks. One with a bunch of dead mirelurks that goes down to a cave and one that's clear.

If you head down the clear fork you should come to a patrol guard eventually. Just keep walking past him and around the corner and you should hit The Family's base. You can find Ian in there after a short quest you can finish up in the base.

Lots of traps on the way to the guard.

Edit: Assuming this is the letter delivery quest line?

[Kyo]

yeah I found their base but was unable to locate him, ill go back down there once this florida and georgia game is over.

[Slott]

Hmm, how can I get railley up? she's sick and I don't have 60 medicine. Figured if I found the rangers they might be able to help ;x

Up the stairs, corridor on the left, last door on left hand side, there's a console infront of the door.

[Null]

Anybody find any more cells for the Alien weapon?

Unless something is different in your game, you can just act the Doctor to wake her up.

He wouldn't. Said it might hurt / kill her ;/ He's apparently doing some weird ass testing on her heh, so anyone able to give me some pointers to the hotel?

[killerx]

he woke her for me too just had to wait a sec and talk to him idk

[Krandor]

He told me it might kill her as well, but he did it anyways and got right up. Might be related to your karma level or speech skill (Very good Karma rating for me + high speech skill)

[Nyima]

The plasma rifle with the increased critical chance, the critical damage, and grim reaper perk will absolutely destroy everything so long as you have ammo.

[Sythe]

Just beat it and wow. Its funny i did what i felt like was a ton of side questing yet i am reading about places that i still havnt even discovered. Time to get back to work!

[Kyo]

SO is there any reason I shouldnt go inand kill all of the family.

[Slott]

I didnt kill the fam.
Hope I'm using spoiler tags right

Spoiler: show

If you do it non violently, the leader of the family taught me to use bloodpacks for 20 hp instead of 5

nothing major I guess, but /shrug ;x

[Kyo]

I look at them as xp, vampire wanna be's are just xp.

[Slott]

I guess heh, I have a high karma character though, so doesn't work for me that way. Paladin Cross ally is freaking strong ;x

[Wintermute]

Anyone found the Dartgun or Railwaygun specs yet?

I keep hoarding Darts and Railway Spikes but haven't found the specs for them yet.

Oh, and I found 2 Stealthboys in that mock-chrysler building north of Vault 101 filled with Super Mutants for those who use them.

[Slott]

I have both the dartgun and railway gun ;x Dartgun was sold from a vendor...I think in tenpenny's hotel?

Railway gun schem I got from a quest I think

[Kyo]

Yeah my karma is really high too, but I didnt loose karma for killing them.

Yeah the dart gun is sold in Ten Penny Tower.

[Zanz L. Barre The 3rd]

I made an evil character today. Got to lv18 and am rockin' the Deathclaw Gauntlets and Shishkebob. Fucking lol @ 10 Luck, 10 Strength, 10 Endurance w/ Better Criticals, Pyromaniac, Iron Fist x3, and Bloody Mess.

Honestly, you're gonna suffer a bit from gunfire since you'll prolly have lowish Small Guns, but 1-2 shotting Super Mutants is so damn rewarding.

Also, Deathclaws still scare the shit out of me. Seem like an enemy that's gonna' be fucked up no matter what you're build lol.

[Null]

So many people tend to be afraid of deathclaws, rightfully so I guess because they hit hard. But they are extremely easy to kill as well if you just back up while fighting. Can kill a pack of em without getting hit.

Has anybody found any more cells for the Alien gun? I've been going crazy trying to find more. This weapon is bad ass.
