======================================
II. INTRODUCTION
======================================
I haven't made a FAQ in quite a while, but vast fun I have had playing
Fallout 3 plus the fact is has tons of quests, locations, and things to do
made me decide to make a complete walkthrough of the game, from beginning to
end. And to enjoy everything that you can get out of it.
Fallout 3 is the 3rd game of the Fallout series. The first 2 were major hits
and cult classics, with incredible plot and substance to satisfy the RPG
gamer in everyone. Fallout 3 was changed a little. It is now a first person
shooter, where as the previous 2 were top down turn based combat games.
Because Fallout 3 is a first person shooter, many things were changed in the
game that wouldn't work in a non-turn based game. Many good things were left
out because of this, but the overall fun is still there, making for a fun game
with a huge world to explore.
Things to note. The game is a first person SHOOTER. This means that combat
is a lot harder than with a turn based game, because you actually have to aim
and attack things manually instead of a system where your stats affect how
good you hit. There is an adjusted V.A.T. combat system that helps with the
popular aiming that Fallout 1 and 2 had. Sadly they didn't extend this to all
weapons, so guns are the only weapons you can aim at body parts. That doesn't
make the other weapons any less fun, just not as beneficial as guns.
There are also FAQS which explain the combat system, stats, perks, and other
things. I won't go over those here. I will simply tell you what to pick and
what to do. Saves a lot of reading.
Some things to remember
1) Always heal by resting if possible. 1 hours rest in a bed will heal all
your wounds. Save your healing Stims for emergencies.
2) Early on use melee weapons and save ammo. Save the ammo for the harder
foes. Most weaker enemies can be beaten with melee weapons easy.
3) Save often. Fallout 3 has a lot of glitches, such as getting stuck in
objects, lockups, etc. Save often. I'll try and tell you when.
4) Do not use any books until level 5 when you get the Comprehension perk.
This doubles all book raises from 1 point to 2. Well worth it.
======================================
III. PROLOGUE
======================================
You start the game by watching the Intro.
1) New baby. You are born, and choose your sex, name and appearance. Pick a
appearance you like, you will see your face often during VATS fighting.
Fast forward a year.
2) BABY STEPS (Quest). Follow your Dad's instructions. Walk towards him.
Next open the gate when he leaves and look at your special book. You will
choose your stats for the Prologue. Make your strength 10, luck 10, and
perception 1. Average the rest out evenly for best melee ability without
worrying about dying. Follow Dad out of the room. Fast Forward to age 10.
You arrive at your 10th birthday party and get your Pipboy.
3) GROWING UP FAST (Quest). Talk to Amata in front of you and get the
[GROGNAK THE BARBARIAN] do not use this yet. Talk to Old Lady Palmer and
get the [SWEETROLL]. Talk to Stanley and get the [KID'S BASEBALL CAP].
Butch will eventually come to start a fight. just dodge him and soon the
fight will be broken up. Talk to your dad to continue.
4) Once he opens the door enter the hallway and run into Beatrice who will
give you a poem. Before going downstairs, head upstairs to where Officer
Kendell is. Get behind him and crouch. Save game. Pick his pocket (reload
if you fail) until you get his [2 STIMPAKS]. Wait for the Overseer to
come up stairs and listen to his conversation. Bastard. Now go all the
way downstairs to the left to the reactor room and talk to Jonas. Dad
will enter and give you a [BB GUN] and [BB AMMOx50]. Follow him through
the door to the test range. Shoot all 3 targets then shoot and kill the
Radroach that enters. Hit R2 to enter V.A.T.S Mode to aim. Stand for the
picture to be taken.  Fast forward 6 years to age 16.
5) FUTURE IMPACT (Quest). When done take the [MEDICINE BOBBLE-HEAD] that is
on the table, this increases your Medicine skill +10. Enter the next
room and take the [STIMPAK] that is on the doctor tray cart. Go out into
the hallway where Amata is being harassed. Talk to Wally Mack and trick
him into being angry with Butch. They will leave. Go in and talk to the
teacher. Ask to skip the test and you can just pick your skills. TAG
melee weapons, repair, and small guns for the Prologue. Leave the room.
Fast forward 3 years to age 19.
6) ESCAPE (Quest). You are woken up the Vault is in turmoil. Time to fight
and Escape!. Amata gives you some picks and [10MM PISTOL]. Open your
dresser and take your items. Go to the Desk and take your BB gun, ammo,
and the [BASEBALL BAT]. Open the first aid kit on the wall and take the
items. Enter inventory and equipt your bat and hat/suit. Ready your bat
and save the game.
Run out into the hallway and to the right and run towards Kendell. Attack
and kill him. Then kill the roaches. Use V.A.T.S if you want. Search
Kendell and take his items. Equip his security helm/armor. Save again.
Continue down hallway and Butch will come out asking for help for his
mother. Follow him, quickly run into the next room where his mom is under
attack from 3 roaches. Kill them before they kill her. If they do, reload
and try again. Search roaches and take the [VODKA] bottles on the floor.
Butch will thank you and give you his [TUNNEL SNAKE OUTFIT]. If you are
hurt head to the bathroom and drink or use them to heal. Save the Stims.
Continue to the lunchroom and kill the 3 roaches there. Search body. Run
upstairs and kill roaches fighting Officer Gomez. Enter shop with Andy
and take [2 STIMPAKS] by the fallen cart. Continue down the hall and
enter the room you will see 2 people talking. Save game. Follow the one
guy down the hallway you will encounter 2 guards. Kill them fast they

Go in and you'll get to the vault entrance. Note the locked door on the
right. Activate the keypad and the door opens. Amata comes to talk to you
but get ready, the locked door opens and 2 more guards come out. Kill
them and take their stuff. Enter the door they came through and go into
the north room for more stuff. Run back through the Vault and you'll find
more Radroaches to kill.  Head back to the vault door room.
Enter your inventory and repair any items you can combine in order to
save space and make your items better. Now this is going to be your
permanent save game, so that way if you replay you don't have to do the
prelogue again. Go ahead and save, then head to the vault exit. You will
be able now to redo everything and pick your stats/skills to what you
want.
You should have
