Forum:The Glowers??

Hi Guys,

I was wandering around the Wasteland the other day and I came across a piece of paper entitled 'The Glowers: page 2'. It makes for some interesting reading, it seems to be a transcript of an initiatian rite into some radiation worshipping cult - possibly the one in Megaton? I have subsequently found another two pages (1 & 3) but they were all in extremely easily missed and difficult-to-recall places (I'm one of those 100% completion freaks) and I am basically wondering if anyone else has come across these papers in their travels and if so what number/s have been found and where.

I am running a heavily modded version of Fallout 3 (with all DLCs), including but not limited to: FOOK2 and all official add-on packs; the Unofficial Patch; EVE; Fellout; WMK and Enhanced Weather.

It would be a shame for anyone interested in the side-story of Fallout 3 to miss these as they are a good read. I can't seem to find any information on 'The Glowers' anywhere, I'm not even sure if they're a part of the vanilla game, DLCs or Mods (most likely FOOK2 if a mod) so i thought I'd put it out there and see what comes back.

I don't remember precisely where i found all of the pages. I think they are all (well, the three i've found) on tables. Page 2 can be found on a table in the little Shack a few steps SW of Fort Constantine so if someone running vanilla Fallout 3 could check there at least we'll know if its from a Mod or not.

Sincere Thanks for any input and enlightenment;

May have something to do with that cult in springvale added by Broken Steel. I don't have it so I wouldn't know though. --Toast 03:36, November 11, 2009 (UTC)

Well would you look at that, in my vague wanderings i have stumbled across Page 4 of The Glowers. I found it in Warington Tunnels propped up against a metal box with a first aid kit on top. It is situated just before going into the generator room which leads out to the Blue Line rail track (all one area). I don't think it is part of the springvale cult as it has the main character sprouting a pair of bat-like wings in the ceremony of 'change'. The story seems to end however with a caption saying "I'll have to finish this soon; the deadline is next week" indicating that it is a novel or short story of some sort.

Well, they aren't at Fallout 3 paper notes or Fallout 3 holodisks. Accurate locations for the other three pages would be nice, though. Nitty 01:43, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

Mirakules: The Glowers notes are atleast in the FOOK v1.2 addon. Maybe earlier too, I don't know. If you load GECK and look under Items->Note and find them entitled FOOKNoteShortStory01 -> FOOKNoteShortStory04. The short story is intelligent irony all the way, with a lot of the typical duality and parables included. It could of actually been a real Ghouls bible.

If you can't Sheep, it's alright, but can you remember at least a general location of some of the pages? I have 0 add-ons, but recently patched to my beliefs. I think it may be involved in/mentioning of the Holy Water quest with Broken Steel add-on, but I want to check. In the Warrington Trainyard, you have a general location of it. There's several metal boxes. Omega-Ginger

As the maker of FOOK, I can confirm that it is indeed part of the mod, but was originally from the "DC Confidential - Scattered Stories" by DeadlyAccurante (http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2762) Xporc 08:07, April 15, 2011 (UTC)
