Talk:Fallout 3 walkthrough

Put only short summaries of the quests here, with links to the individual quest pages, where the detailed info is. A full, detailed walkthrough for all the quests would be too long for one page. Ausir 00:03, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Okay I didn't notice your messages and I was just going about playing with the wikia and all that. I've never attempted to submit information to a wikia before so just let me know what your thoughts are and I'd be happy to help you in any way you'd like.

By the way I really don't know how a lot of the editing and other site specifics work, so if I make any mistakes please correct them.
 * No problem. IMHO, for now it's better to focus on detailing all the quests in their respective articles, and summarize them in the walkthrough page later. Ausir 00:42, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Although I think that this page is an extreme spoiler, I have an idea for a format. We could do a walkthrough with links so that you could choose your actions beforehand and see the consequences. For example have something for Stahl's addiction like Tell Stahl you want to help him-->Speech: Convince Stahl to stop hurting his family-->Good Karma and Leo's Stash Key... and Blackmail Stahl--> Leo Stahl sells you drugs and Bad Karma... etc. This would keep the page smaller but might create too many pages?

where '-->' indicates clicking on the link and being connected to the next page in the string.

Level of detail
I've started working on the walkthrough. Is the level of detail in the "Escape!" section alright or should I be more brief? Porter21 10:49, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Still wondering whether I should be more brief. Input would really be appreciated :-) --Porter21 10:30, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

>>>RE/ Above: Format idea/Walkthrough with links<<< The idea sounds nice, but it seems to me either you are reading the walkthrough or playing the game without. If you are going to test for results here, but choosing, checking result, then you are probably going to keep on doing it until you get the result you want; How is that any different than just reading which one to choose?More complex to design, more time-consuming to use, and more demand on server. I use the walkthrough to spare myself the drudgery of poking into every nook and cranny AFTER the bad guys are dead. I first go into an area, kill all the bad monsters, get familiar with the layout, then go back to enterance. THEN I read the walkthrough to make sure I don't miss the most valuable stuff - skill books especially high on my list, unique/quest items obviously important. ??? Am compiling a detailed listing of loot for Arlington library. Am capable of formatting myself, but currently is no "Notable Loot" section to that area. Am not sure how to create the Heading. Is there a larger page/heirarchy system that arranges these?

PS - Just saw some weirdness in preview - my text appearing much wider than screen with scrool bars. ???

It doesn't say how to get into GNR. You have to use the intercom.

Hi peoplez, Theres also a NEUTRAL(besides not helping) option when Amata is getting harassed by the Tunnel Snakes, this is also what I did...lol

Step 1. Talk to Amata and agree that you'll get rid of them.

Step 2. Punch one of the tunnel snakes (To be specific I punched one of them at the back of the head)

step 3. Face the tunnel snakes while Amata yells everyone to stop fighting.

step 4. Just keep fighting, eventually the teacher dude will call everyone in.

I almost killed one of them, but thats when the teacher called us in. Not sure what happens if u do kill a member.

You can't kill them, they just fall unconscious.--Fallout3Expert 23:06, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Help please!
Im having problems with the last part of the main quest and sarah lyons just keeps saying we have to secure the area but everything is already dead.§

Hi, I'm also having this problem!! I noticed problems from the very beginning of the take it back quest, because sarah and the pride just stand around while liberty prime is being activated, when they are actually meant to start running outside. Also, when I get into the Jefferson Memorial, Sarah doesn't really follow me, she just stands around and then appears with me after entering the rotunda. I then kill autumn and the bodyguards, go upstairs to listen to the intercom, and after that has finished, instead of telling me we have to activate the purifier, sarah just says "Let's make sure everything is locked down before we do anything". Then I can't get into the control room, and I can't even wait for the purifier to explode, because for some reason that event hasn't been triggered!

This means I can't start on broken steel, which I've already paid for!! It seems I need some way to reset the code for that quest right from the beginning, to trigger the proper events. Any help, ideas, or theories please?

I think a possible reason behind it is that I talked to sarah about starting the quest ages before, but told her i needed a minute or two longer before i'd be ready. I actually spent heaps of time doing other side quests etc after that before going back and starting take it back...

A word of advice.
When you get to Tranquility Lane, don't punch the little girl. She sends out an electric shockwave that kills you.

Tranquility Lane
To find the right sequence for the terminal you can listen to what Betty is humming. If you can reproduce the whistle on the objects, the terminal is found. Don't thank me.

Spoilers?
Doesn't anyone think there should be a spoiler waning at the beginning of the article? Chaos ian7 16:49, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Fawkes
Well, Im having a problem wth Fawkes in the last part of the main quest (I have Broken Steel). Fawkes enters the airlock, but when he's inside he simply don't move, leaving the whole facility to explode. I wonder what's that and if someone knows how to fix it.

Thank You

Edit /\: Well just managed to fix that bug (it was a companion mod), but faced another. hen the final scene succeeds I go back to the rotunda, unable to move, Lyons beside me and Fawkes in the chamber. Anyone have any clue to how to fix that?

Edit2 /\: Manage to fix that, and worked just fine. The solution is here http://thenexusforums.com/index.php?showtopic=199025
