I have played Fallout 3 four a while now and I believe it is one of the best games I have ever played (quite possibly the best.) There are so many qualities and concepts to the game that the fun factor is always on high even after obtaining everything you possibly can (which would take a largely considerable amount of time.)

I am a collector in this game, in fact I have not sold a single item ever since I started playing. I collect everything I possibly can when I discover a new area. This has given me quite a large amount of items in my house in megaton.
 * 1) The locker nearest the door contains all of the weapons I have gathered.
 * 2) The locker directly across from it contains all of the clothes and armor that I have gathered.
 * 3) The refrigerator contains all of the food/nectar/bloodpacks I have gathered.
 * 4) The Pristine Nuka-Cola Machine machine upstairs contains all of the items which are related to Nuka-Cola I have gathered.

-Nuka-Colas (Converted to Ice Cold Nuka-Colas)

-Nuka-Cola Quantums

-Empty Nuka-Cola Bottles

-Nuka-Cola Trucks

5. The desk upstairs contains all of the misc items (which weigh something) excluding the Geomapper Module and and any            quest items.

6. The filing cabinet upstairs contains any Stealth Boys I have gathered. I also placed the items I brought back from the simulation in here.

I am also extremely conservative. *"Why go through all of that difficulty being conservative?" you might ask. Because I am stubborn and want to have the                  highest amount of items I possibly can. Even though many of these items can be found infinitely.*
 * 1) I have not used a single Stimpak. In the beginning I survived by sleeping.
 * 2) I have not used a single round of ammunition. In the beginning I used melee weapons only, and when Fawkes became my follower I did not use even those. (I do use my weapons to have fun, but when I do I do not save over my main file.) For example: I went to Deathclaw Sanctuary armed with many of my best weapons which includes Vengeance and killed many Deathclaws. I always save my main file in my megaton house sitting in the chair of my desk wearing the Lab Coat.
 * 3) I also don't save over my main file whenever I use any item hp, thus I usually don't wear any clothing in the game (excluding the default clothes which are used whenever you have no clothing on) as not to expend any item hp and have to reload. I do wear clothing in times of fun battle though. For example: I wore T-51b Power Armor in the deathclaw battle above. At the beginning of the game, I did not know much about item hp, and thus used up some item hp on clothing.

I value Dogmeat.
 * 1) You can ask him to stay/follow you.
 * 2) You can ask him to find you a weapon, some ammunition, some chemicals, and some food (Each separately.)
 * 3) You can ask him to wait outside Vault 101.
 * 4) He becomes much stronger with each level. (His health and attack are multiplied by his level.) His level is the same as yours. His health at level one is 500. His attack at level one is 5.
 * 5) With the Puppies! perk in Broken Steel he is reincarnated as a puppy with twice base health value (The base health value is only doubled once) if he dies.
 * 6) You can tell him he is a good boy.
 * 7) You can tell him he is very bad.
 * 8) Out of all the allies in the game, I believe he is the most emotionally appealing.
 * You should wait untill after you obtain the Broken Steel DLC to get him, if you want his health and damage to be multiplied by his level, as there have been cases where Pre-DLC Dogmeat did not recieve such bonuses.

Fawkes is a great companion.
 * 1) His health and unarmed damage is multiplied by your level.
 * 2) You can ask him to stay/follow you.
 * 3) He can store extra inventory items for you up to a total of 229 pounds.
 * 4) You can obtain a unique variant of the Super Sledge, which deals more damage, called Fawkes' Super Sledge, from him.
 * 5) He can be told to "stay close" or to fall back.
 * 6) He has special Gatling Laser with infinite ammunition, called Fawkes's Gatling Laser.
 * 7) He can be told what weapons to equip granted you gave him that weapon and ammunition for it.
 * 8) He is the only ally who is highly skilled with all weapons.
