I started the game as a bad character and got to the G.E.C.K then got stuck in the vault with no ammo, healthpacks and a bad stat layout so i started again and played as good.

It was a lot harder and I took the option to disarm the megaton bomb, however, whats the differenc ebetween exploding th ebomb and not? I thought it was just which house you received, and tenpenny tower wasnt too bad, whereas some people earlier in this thread were saying disarming is better.

More quests, more xp :confused:

On a side note, I am looking to collect the bobbleheads. However I have a dilema. Basically, when I started the game originally and didn't know what I was doing, I broke into Lucas Sim's house and picked up the strength bobblehead (i think) and then sold it at the craterside supply. Is there any way at all that I can get it back or have I made a big boo boo?

I think bobblehead rewards are permanent, so you can't lose the bonus, don't know how it works with achievements but I'd check your stats and see how many bobbleheads the game thinks you have.

You see, I thought in order to get the trophy / achievement, you needed to have them all displayed in that bobblehead display case that you have in your house in Megaton :confused:

I'm only guessing to be honest. Can you not buy it back from Craterside supply or has it disappeared from Moira's inventory?

If you nuked Megaton you should find her in the Underworld in the DC ruins.

Just picked this up again. When I first got the game I hardly played it.

I started going through the story with some additional side quests. Great Game, Just completed it. It's a shame you can't go on after the story is completed. I've reverted back to a save before I finished it and currently collecting Bobblehead and going through some quests - Nuka Cola Challenge

I can see me putting in loads more hours into this game. Really into it now.

I didn't think you could sell bobbleheads :confused:

Pretty sure I sold it to Moira as I didn't know what it was at the time. Pretty damn sure it has disappeared from her inventory. I'm about 40 hours into the game now...

Stats did sya that I have found 1 bobblehead and I'm pretty sure its the same one that I sold... Oh well... maybe I don't have to display them on the display case after all... here is hoping!

Nope, when I got the trophy I was wandering around with 6 of them on me.

Cool. Thats not so bad then. Still, I would like to have them all displayed on the display case! I'm going to be -1!

Edit: Good news!

I got back to my Megaton house and inserted the 2 bobbleheads I collected in the display case and now I have all 3 that I have ever found, including the one that I sold to Moira!

Right, I was sorting out Vault 87 and had one of the girls from the citadel with me (just to carry my stuff!

but also hold a weapon or two!) and then you know who showed up and you know what happened!!

Anyway, she has disappeared and the super mutant is now my buddy. My questions is, what happened to the citadel girl and can i get my items and weapons back off her?

Kyle009 · 10 Apr 2009 at 18:39

Whappers have you tried going back to the citadel? I didn't have a partner until that point in the game but that's what I'd suggest

I've already been back to the citadel you see and almost everyone has now evacuated for the final mission but hopefully she is still there and i have missed her. I'll check it out again! Thanks.

Whappers - Try going to the "Temple of the Union" and go to the statue there. I had a similar problem and she cropped up there for some reason whilst questing.

Whappers · 13 Apr 2009 at 21:06

So!

I've come to the end of the game (nearly!) and I have just reached the "Nuka-Cola Challenge!". Those of you who have done it will know how peeved off I am that I didn't come across this quest sooner or know to hang onto my Nuka-Cola Quantums!!

It is going to take me an absolute light year to acquire all 30 required and well, i'm extremely disheartened at this! Are there any quick solutions to remedy this or have I made an almighty booboo? Think I have already handed over roughly 12 or 13 so far by the way...

There are 93 bottles to be found according to the wiki, so you shouldn't run out:

But, i'm pretty sure I have drank a fair few of them and well, 93 bottles?!

Nuka Cola Challenge was a right mission and a half for me. There are a few nuka cola trucks with a large supply dotted around the map, think the locations of the trucks can be found if you venture into the Nuka Cola factory and hack some of the computers.

I read that there is only one truck though and that is just outside old olney?

edit: I have also been to the factory and know the 3 locations. I have already raided the truck and paradise falls behind the stairs. also have raided the super duper mart too... guess I am going to have to slog it out!
