I would suggest mixing it up. Blood Ties is a good one to cut your teeth on, and Moira's quests are generally easier as well. By the time you have a couple under your belt, though, you'll probably have leveled up enough to do whatever quest you want.

I dropped by when I was level 20 and went through with no difficulties. Can't remember if there was anything there worth getting, though.

Yes, there's a sidequest available there after you finish a certain main quest.
Good skill tag choices btw.

I ended up accidentally killing Dogmeat after about a half hour of finding him.
No way to revive him, I take it? lol

Yeah, Star Paladin Cross
you can find her in the citadel, it's a black chick with short hair in power armour...no helmet of course
shes the only reason i keep my karma good
I think you have to do the waters of life quest to get into the citadel, if you already have go talk to her at the citadel...somewhere inside, i think where ever the scribe and elder lyons are
edit---yeah dogmeat fucking sucks, i think he got killed by a supermutant and some defenders when i was coming out of a metro station
The most rediculous follower moment I've seen was during the last story mission.
Anyways as a side note: GOTY
I had Fawkes with me, and while following the giant robot past a bridge I decided I didn't want him around anymore so I told him to go away and watched as he went back towards the diection of the citadel. I go on with the mission and get to the jefferson memorial with the brotherhood of steel guys and the robot, and before going in I go around looting enclave bodies, and then I hear a firefight erupt. Fawkes, for some reason, came back and started attacking the robot. Needless to say, he got destroyed

Fawkes is one of the best party NPCs in the game. You can get him very late into the main quest.

Just curious if this has happened to anyone else? I was in the Citidel and tried to save I got a dirty disc error which i thought was pretty odd since I installed it to the hardrive. Now every time I try to load a save I get the same error any ideas or am I fucked.

Where does Lucas's son usually hang out? His dad got killed because I told him about Burke but I've disarmed the bomb and need to find him.

You should have Lucas's house key. Just wait in his house until he shows up.
Did a couple of sidequests (Blood Ties, Big Trouble in Big Town) and advanced a bit on the main quest. I never thought I'd like this game so much. goty with a bullet. I think I'm leveled up enough to get another shot at Those! now.
I want to get other radio stations though. GNR is cool enough but I've heard every song like 10 times now.

Can someone give me directions on how to get to the National Guard Depot? Traveling through the DC subway is a pain in the ass.

I don't think they ever leave. Every time I enter the Citadel, all the victims from my massacre fall to the ground. :lol

Rented yesterday, started playing today. Game of the Year without a doubt. I'm wondering if the seemingly polished feel of the game is the result of Fallout fans lighting a fire under Bethesda or just Bethesda doing it up regardless.
Either way, this game is fantastic. The exploration feels Morrowind'ish, which I love. The combat is enjoyable, the weapons selection awesome.

Has anyone been able to do mirelurk quest for the wasteland guide without killing any of them? Those things fucking charge at you and do a ton of damage.
I think when I do my PC runthrough, I'll go this way on skills

whats the consensus on my choice to not group with anyone cause i want all the exp for myself? am i missing out on any really good character interaction stuff?
JayDubya said:Also: Dogmeat apparently can get lost and then you can't find him again. This isso I will start relying on normal saving rather than auto-saving.
If you lose Dogmeat by anything but death, such as accidentally leaving him somewhere and forgetting, he'll usually make his way back to Vault 101 on his own. The game will give you a message saying he's returned there. And he can actually die on route by an enemy's hands, so I think he literally walks there himself from wherever you left him rather than the game simply teleporting him as you'd expect, which is pretty cool.

If this game really does emulate the past Fallout games in regards to difficulty then its important to get better equipment and weapons and leveling up to raise your proficiency with said weapons.
Going head on with the bigger humanoid mutants early on meant dieing a quick death.

playing on normal and think the difficulty is perfect. im finding it ridiculously easy to acquire wealth/items, but the enemies still put up a decent fight.

I forgot how important it is to use your perks and dispense your initial points wisely. I went with Perception, Intelligence and Agility as my main attributes. Dumping points mainly in Lockpicking, Medicine and Stealth though, I've found that Repair in this game seems to be extremely important.

Agreed. Helped me a ton my first playthrough. Second playthrough I haven't bothered however and haven't had any problems.
ICallItFutile said:
Towards the beginning it's very helpful as far as making money (selling repaired weapons), saving money (not having an NPC repair your stuff) and consolidating inventory space (using one or more weapons to repair another).
Repaired weapons also increase the damage output and critical hit potential of your weapons - that's especially important with the big guns that do a lot of damage, since you can repair it once and see it going up something like 50 damage points (if not more). Basically, it's all exponential. That also makes repair very useful towards the mid-end game, perhaps even moreso, since that's when you start getting bigger weapons.
Zeliard said:
Nah. Repair and Lockpick. There just way too much good stuff and experience in Lockpicking. You can get by easy not caring about small arms, especially with the right perks and weapons in good condition.
I even go Speech over small arms, especially if you go 1 Charisma
Repair is the one skill thats most important to keep up. Others can vary easy without much impact.

As far as weapons go, I found a Laser Gun? In the Super Market and I figured that I'd upkeep that and build up my Laser Weapons proficiency. Its obvious that the best arms are probably the weapons in this category.
