Do the "Wasteland Survival Guide" quest and make sure to do the optionals - a lot of the parts of it you'll find are very difficult, but it gives good rewards and XP. If you talk to Moira Brown in the Craterside Supply shop you can get a really quite good set of armour by following certain dialog paths.Īlso, for lots of XP and loot I suggest going back to the starter town and exploring the school - by the time you come out you'll have tons of 10mm ammunition and probably a sawn-off, amongst other loot. I normally tag explosives, repair, and speech because it lets you have a strong start off in Fallout 3 (let's you get 400 starting caps from a girl in the wrecked town you start in, let's you fix the bomb, and repair is just so useful you should always have a high skill of it).


The thing about an open world game like Fallout 3 is that you can't do everything you have to make do with what you have. Repair you should have tagged because it's bloody repair and in Fallout 3 I always tag explosives. It was so easy that I just got bored of it and stopped playing it around the time I got to Rivet City.ģ0 repair and 25 explosive are not high skill checks. Melee not viable? My last (and I do mean last) playthrough of Fallout 3 was with a melee character where I never touched a gun.
