Talk:Scientist (Fallout 3)

I'm at the right place, I've actually seen the scripted event happen there before, but when I go up this time I only get the explosion. No scientist comes flying out of the truck. Anyone have any idea why this happened?

Finding the Scientist body
I must have tried to get the scientist at least 50 times, reloading and running to the truck over and over. Every single time I tried, the back of the truck exploded, but with no scientist flying out, ever. Then, on a different character, I tried something different. Every time in the past I approached the truck, I did so from the *south*. This time, I fast-traveled to Raven Rock, and followed the highway down from the *north*. Boom! He flew from the back of the truck just like he was supposed to! That could at least be something to try if you are having trouble getting him to spawn. I tried this multiple times all successfully (I had difficulty finding the body after it landed necessitating multiple reloads).

Another Scientist
Don't know if this was recorded yet, but I found another scientist body near the northern edge of the Capital Wasteland. There's a pond right up against a cliff with a large container on the other side. Behind the container I found a scientist, wastelander, raider(all dead), and a mattress. I'll get the exact location later. Chief z 01:00, July 31, 2010 (UTC)
