Fallout 3 Hints

To get the laser rifle you have to go south of the bridge all the way at the end and you will see two tents and an army truck there will be ammo and there will be a robot and there will be people and they try to kill robot

1) get 60 in sneak by level 10
2) choose the "mr. sandman" perk (available at level 10)
3) go to andale , and wait for the children to go to sleep
4) sneak up on the sleeping child and use the "murder" option
5) since kids cannot be killed , you can repeat step 4 for unlimited sandman kills and EXP. that comes with it.
6) repeat until you reach level 20.


NOTE:

the children (and parents) go to sleep at midnight and wake up at 5 a.m. it is recommended to have auto-save enabled , since it is possible for the game to glitch while utilizing this method and sending you to "never-never land" unable to return. The auto-save is handy while waiting the 19 hours for the kids to return to bed.

It is possible after waiting the 19 hours , that the child dosen't return to bed , if this happens , leave the house go to the neighbour's and repeat on the other child.

although it's "unlimited EXP." the cap level is 20 after that no more exp. will be gained but the sandman kills will still stack up.

no karma will be gained or loss , since the murder does not register.

it is a very quick way to get to level 20 , but you will not get the ammo , weapons and caps that you would normally gain from reaching level 20 by "legit" means.

Firelance is a very powerful alien weapon that can only be acquired after a "U.F.O. random encounter" is triggered. There is a way to trigger this encounter at the very beginning of the game.

1) go to whilem's wharf.
2) save on the pier closest to the shack.
3) to the east near anchorage memorial is one of many places that trigger random encounters.
4) swin across the waters , to east , towards anchorage memortial.
5) looking at the map on your pip-boy , you should see and island where anchorage memorial is situated. On the very western edge of this island , where there is a stone straicase , is where the random encounter is triggered , swin there.
6) look to the sky (preferably during daylight) and look for and explosion , if nothing happens then re-load your saved game. (be prepared to re-load a half a dozen times)
7) if the explosion is triggered then simply go look for the weapon , there are also 24 power alien cells that drop from the crash.
8) with this powerful alien weapon , the early part of the game is extremely easy. Go do some questing.

NOTE:

it is very important to save before crossing the river , otherwise you might receive a different random encounter or simply nothing at all. With a little patience you will eventually get it , it took me 7 re-loads , on the 8th try the explosion was triggered.

the explosion is very easy to see in daylight , you will see a long trail of black smoke in the sky , followed by a loud bang , and an explosion in the sky. You will probably see the weapon fall as well.

firelance desintegrates rather quickly compared to other weapons , but even at poor conditions it is still much more powerful than other weapons at early levels.

coupled with the "alien blaster" you should breeze through the early half of this game.

Dogmeat can also be used to retrieve "firelance" and the alien power cells.

First u have to get the sandman perk and be at least level 10. to get the sandman perk you have to have at least 60 to your sneak skill. there are some kids in the game who can't be killed. so go to andale go into one of the main houses at about 1 o'clock and sneak into one of the houses. use the murdering perk that comes with the sandman perk on one of the kids as many times as u want . u get 50 EXP. everytime u use it. it is helpful earily in the game but can help anyone .
