I killed Roy in his sleep with a shotgun blast to the head, then I followed it up with my flame thrower and the gatling laser on his girlfriend

There has to be a better way...this is main quest stuff, it should be more obvious...slayn said:

What's the easiest way to get to
. I have a few metro stations I can use but I'm getting tired of the dead ends in the city and metro.
Rivet City?

Ya it should let you, I had already killed arkansas before I even got that quest and it let me finish it.

Stick to the river. Follow it basically all the way down. Helps if you have a rad suit, or rad away.

Ah yes poor dogmeat. I came out of the georgetown subway and there were 4 super mutants, 3 defenders/bounty hunters, 1 centaur and a super mutant brute. Poor thing died but I got awesome loot from that fight.
You'll run into most of the others during the course of the main quest when it sends you to other locations, but there's not a whole lot of them out there. They can follow you around all the time if you want them to, but you can always fire them and they'll go to a default location where they'll hang out until you need them again. As for Dogmeat,The Lamonster said:
I completely missed him on my first playthrough, but he's at a salvage yard location in the northwest quadrant of the map somewhere. You have to rescue him. I don't know if you can park him like you can other NPCs, and I remember hearing that if he dies, he dies.

I have it on my map but I was looking for clarification on the path. I've wasted so much time trying to get places only to find dead ends. I was hoping to avoid the dead ends on my way there.
Hmm, about 5-10 hours in and getting to know the game better, I noticed I should've spent my points/stats differently. In my planescape mentality I put lots in charisma and speach. They don't seem that useful nor fun in this game. I wonder if I should start over. I'd rather not waste another 5-10 hours doing the same thing instead of progressing with sightly different stats that barely have any impact on the game, ya know? 
Starting to like the game a lot more. It takes a while to get used to the world and what you can or cannot do.

Something really weird happened with this game. I had been playing it over the weekend and during my last save before going to bed I decided to look at my total play time.
I thought it would be like 2 and a half hours but it was about eight. This game just sucks you in!

Is it just me, or did anyone else find it a little strange that you didn't get an "end game" achievement. Most games give you an achievement/trophy when you beat the game.

Fawkes is great. Is supposed to be cultured, but when it comes to battle he goes just as crazy as a regular supermutant.

Uh, how do I get to Rivet City? I took a break to sample other great games and I have lost my bearings on the map. My quest marker is a straight dotted line crossing the river pointing at Rivet but I can't remember if I should be going through the Metro or what? Could someone nudge me in the right direction?

IIRC, it's south of the Tepid Sewers. You can get there by walking. I happened upon it by chance.

sounds like you're a bit lost in the downtown d.c. area, which is understandable. the various connecting metros are labyrinthine. go to the mall, and head down toward the capital building. go through the west entrance and exit the east entrance just across the hall, and you should be heading toward the connecting parts of downtown d.c. that will eventually get you through to that northern region.
if i recall correctly, though, you can bypass all that by fast-traveling somewhere a bit to the west outside downtown d.c. and just walking north then east to where dukov lives.

there's a mission in which you're tasked with assassinating the robotic incarnation of george w. bush. this isn't such a difficult proposition, since he's only programmed to eat his own mechanical boogers
damn, I'm already level 16 and haven't even touched the main quest (beyond Megaton at the very beginning).
Right now I'm kinda debating whether to do the main quest before I reach 20 or to keep exploring and doing sidequests.. still feel like I've barely gotten started on the game.

I heard Jericho complain about running out of smokes, so I gave him a carton of cig's and now he smokes all the time. Also had a random scavenger comment on how he went to trade at Megaton but found a smoking crater instead. I love cool little touches like that. Anyone else noticed other little things that enhance the overall immersion?
I reloaded after I did it just because I was curious, but I thought it was neat how they handle the situation at GNR if youSuperEnemyCrab said:

Also, it is generally a good idea to follow npc's after you complete quests. Often they go do stuff and have scripted conversations/confrontations that aren't part of the quest, but that you can watch play out if you follow them.
Sure is.The Lamonster said:
Don't get too excited, though. I was looking for it myself and once I found Pennsylvania Ave, I followed it until I ran into a small Brotherhood checkpoint, twisted fence, and a crater with a few scattered columns lying around. I didn't think that was it, but there's a tunnel nearby that leads to the bottom of the hole and then lets you know that "You have found the White House".
NPCs complain about me to "watch it" when I knock over something in their presence. Super Mutants are hilarious when you shoot weapons out of their hands and nearly kill them as they run away screaming that they're hurt. When I attacked Paradise Falls, for whatever reason, both of Eulogy's girls started attacking each other with their swords. Random encounters out in the wastes are also funny. When the Enclave was setting up shop at checkpoints throughout the Wasteland, they'd run into all sorts of problems with the locals.SuperEnemyCrab said:
One checkpoint was set up near a rest stop, one of those Red Rocket car parks, and I guess they ran into some trouble with raiders. I was walking when I heard the sound of lasers and gunfire, and then saw the fight below the rise I was on. There was a huge explosion from the car that was there that killed most of the Enclave along with the one guy that attacked them. Good loot.
Watching Deathclaws run into raiders and robots is also pretty amusing.

Speaking of random happenings, I came up over a ridge the other day and caught the smoke trail of what I assume was a missile going up into the air, where it made a right angle turn and carried along horizontally for a bit before exploding.
Thinking, WTF, I went down into the valley from whence it came, but there was no one there. No bodies, nothing. No idea where it came from.

Got a weird bug today while making my way to Vault 112. I came across a Super Mutant Behemoth in a ruined town near a church, but he didn't do anything. He never attacked me or moved. I just stood in front of him and killed him. He did drop stuff after he died though. I hope the bug won't affect my game later on. Anyway, one less Behemoth to kill I guess. :lol

Alright, need some help. Just got to paradise falls and the (minor spoilers)
quest, where you have to
. I don't want to pay for the entrance, but I also don't wanna skip the quest (I'm an achievent whore), so my question is:
Does this quest give bad karma for every
? Is there a way of doing it without getting bad karma?

Went for a swim outside of Rivet City. It amuses me how used to radiation you get as the game goes on.

Yes, at least for everyone on the list. I haven't tried it on some random person, but I assume you will get bad karma as well. Also if you karma is already low enough you can get into Paradise Falls right away.
