Forum:FINISHING QUEST : Take It Back

Hi ... First time here so please be gentle. I just finished the quest "Take It Back" That is to say I emerged from the vault and asked Fawkes to be my follower, he agreed. I then watched as the mountain crumbled (I got the Pres. to destroy it) thru speech. INSTEAD of going straight to the Citidel I fast traveled home with Fawkes behind me. I now dont know if I want to go to the Citidel and agree to join the final push to the Jefferson Memorial as I hear this ends the game. I still have a lot to explore and dont want to end the game yet but am afraid if I dont go meet everyone at the Citidel I will forever miss out on ending this quest? Can I just not go there until I finish other buisness? Or, as I have read here, I can go to the Citidel but just not accept the offer to join in battle, and if I do that, can I later go back and agree to join up? THANKS for any help !!!!!!!!!!Cincykidscott 01:27, 22 February 2009 (UTC)cincykidscott

Don't worry, the game won't lock you out of finishing the story. You can just ignore the Citadel for now, or go there and tell Lyons that there is something you need to do before the mission starts. After either of those you are then free to loot, pillage and destroy(or do whatever it is good people do)until you are ready. The point of that mission is to take back and activate Project Purity, and only the Lone Wanderer has the activation code.--JiNX Bloodfang 09:51, 22 February 2009 (UTC) i would suggest getting colonel autmns laser pistol before any thing i got it is FUN the overcoat is fun to just wish i could get the 10mm pistol of his!Maccy Man the man with no plan. 20:38, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

OK, Thanks 4 all the help! I went ahead and finished the quest (went to the Citidel and talked with both Lyons, telling them I will be back later, then went out into the courtyard and fast traveled home to Megaton. I have almost made it to my 16th level up but have lots of game yet to explore. As far as getting Col. Autumns coat and pistol? When do I get those? After I get into the Jefferson Memorial and see him again?? Thanks again this is an awsome game!!!!!Cincykidscott 22:04, 22 February 2009 (UTC)Cincykidscott
