Talk:Blackhall Manor

If you kill Obadiah, you can use this place as a house. It has 3 bedrooms, each with one sleepable bed, tons of storage, a pool table, lots of space, large kitchen and even a basement. It is recommended that if you intend to use this as a house, you collect the book for Obadiah, give it to him and then wait for him to go into the basement before you kill him (basement will only become accessible once Obadiah has the book). If you don't do this then you will have to kill him in the main room of the manor, and then you have the problem of a dead body sprawled across the floor, which kinda kills the mood a bit (unless your RPing a raider of some sort).

Alright, I gave Jedidiah here the book, then went back to the sunny Capital for a while. I returned soon after, found dead Marcella, and wanted to shoot Blackhall in the face. But, I can't find the entrance to the basement! Did I need to follow him? Nitpicker of the Wastes 18:59, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the entrance to the basement is in the pool room. Just go straight down the main hallway, the pool room will be the last room on the left. --Moltenfungus 05:59, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

You can enter the basement even if you destroy the book. For some reason, he will go down there and attempt to do who knows what even though he doesn't have the book. Also, Marcella is killed by the Swampfolk not Obadiah. I guess it's supposed to be a threat from them for stealing it from them. I was hoping that giving him the book would actually make something cool happen though, like maybe the house blows up or the corpse comes to life. -Ganon

I don't believe the swampfolk did kill Marcella. When I fast traveled to the tented area she's at, there are 3 smugglers outside. Along with being able to mention her death to Obadiah, I had assumed that Obadiah paid the smugglers to kill her after she tells you to bring the book to her and that it's evil. --Moltenfungus 01:28, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Same here when I fast traveled there, but it could just be because of the fact that I fast traveled. And could some one please add to the actual article. There so little information about this place. Berkbelts 17:52, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

I love living here! I've decked the place all out. I cleared off the shelves in the library and placed several rare or valuable weapons on the shelves, almost like a gun museum. I cleared the pool hall shelves to make way for my collection of skill books, I've stocked the kitchen, and I've got a different container for each type of item. I popped some bio-gas canisters in the master bedroom, now it looks all wavy when you go in there. The dining hall's ridiculously long table has been adorned with trays of alien squid food and human flesh, with a refreshing nuka- grenade to wash it all down with. In the safe upstairs, I've got about 40,000 caps stored up, a Nuka-Cola Clear recipe, about 450 pre-war money, and several other valuable items of interest. It's so cool that I barely use my megaton house anymore! Strykerblade 21:47, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

^ That is awesome, you should use the GECK and make your own Wadsworth/Godfrey for the house lol --121.91.40.131 04:35, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

The smugglers will be around the tents no matter if you fast travel or walk there. Although, theres always the possibilty that the smugglers just moved into the camp after someone else killed the girl.

Coastal Monument
Didn't anyone notice this one? A bit south of Blackhall Manor is an obelisk (the Coastal Monument) and a plaque that tells you about it. I didn't see it in the article, so I thought I might mention it. There's a campfire site and lots of beer near it too. 77.105.22.115 15:05, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

= Trivia =

Possible note of trivia, that in the GECK the Blackhall manor Nif. is called Whitehall manor instead, possibly its original name before Beth decided that Blackhall sounded more menacing, or it could be hinting that the name of the place changed through the years with the changing mindset of the residents, and decay.

"The door to the basement does not appear until you retrieve the Krivbeknih from the ritual site."

Actually, the bookcase that is hiding the passage to the basement only opens if you give the Krivbeknih to Obadiah. Yeryry 01:14, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Added to trivia section on the architectular sytle of Blackhall Manor, dating it between 1865 and 1880. Consul Forfie 22:24, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
