Just talk to Elder Lyons

Where is Elder Lyons again? I completely forget

I think he just walks all over the Citadel. Just have to look around till you find him.

Dunno, it does scale though, doesn't it? Not as bad as Oblivion did, but I am either getting better or it's getting slightly easier.

Hm, I thought I read somewhere that the game doesn't scale - all enemies stay at the same level regardless of your progression.

I'm also having little trouble with combat now, but I really haven't progressed much outside of zone 5. I can easily take out super mutant brutes with brass knuckles at this point, but I'm sure I'll encounter tougher enemies once I rejoin the main arc.

In any case, I have a flamer, a missile launcher, a minigun, and a couple fatmen stored up in case I need em. I also have a shit-ton of all ammo types.

I think melee/barehanded is the best way to start. The bat & sledge are plenty powerful for the starting enemies, and if you get the Shishkebab from Blood Ties/The Family early on, you really don't even need guns for quite a while. Good way to build up your stash and save caps.

Don't change the theme of your house once you store stuff there. It makes your containers vanish.

I'm very glad I read this. I could start a war singlehanded with all the crap at my pad. Thx Cow!

Hey, NPCs never break into your house and loot it, do they? That would suck.

I just wanted to let people know that disarming the Megaton bomb isn't the only way to get a house - so don't let that sway your actions early in the game.

Tenpenny Penthouse Pad FTW

How do I get my engineering up? I want to disarm the bomb but I can't figure out a way to raise the skill high enough.

Ok, I officially hate Dogmeat. Once you're around level 8, his growling at oncoming enemies is useless because they show up on your compass before he even smells them (provided your perception skill is high enough). He stays put when I want him to move, and he constantly, CONSTANTLY, runs right into a fight and dies. He even runs off to fight an enemy downstairs or over a hill, and he's dead by the time I get there. The only reason I'm even keeping the mutt alive is because I'm afraid it'll hurt me later on achievement-wise or in terms of plot.

Stupid fucking dog.

Use Mentats or put some points into explosives when you level up.

[Melf]

Oh shit!

<3 the Snatcher reference in the Capital Post building in L'Enfant Plaza!

[Pineapple]

Did anyone else find the Bethesda building? I thought that was a pretty cool inclusion, and there was some decent stuff in there (<3 the combat shottys). I actually think the whole little town is called Bethesda something or other, and there were about 30 raiders to kill walking around. I leveled up at least once.

God I love this game. I am so evil, I kill everyone I meet (after doing their quests of course). I just found out you can't kill kids though, I tried to shoot one that asked me for help and the bullets went right through him. My chick is bad ass looking; she basically looks like a gunslinger. I leveled up my Small Guns and Lockpick so I rob everybody blind. My next game I am going to be a spunky girl with a heart of gold and a penchant for big guns and explosives. Fire Ants fuck me up any tips on how to dispatch them easier?
