    I found it more enjoyable to do all that without a stealth boy. It is just hard in many tunnel situations to do all that advanced planning. Though I won't deny I just recently discovered the joys of planting landmines near the natural gas leaks and luring them in.

    The only downside to explosives is, on occassion, it can be hard to find the bodies (in order to loot them) after they get individual parts scattered to the four winds.

    Crap I killed some Paladins and now I'm an "evil marauder".

    It's frustrating how hard it is to get ammo, plus I keep stumbling onto new areas with new mission and it's getting all confused. Plus my trigger finger is getting itchy about setting off the nuke in Megaton and getting on with finding my dad, instead of wasting time doing missions for Moira's stupid survival guide.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Well, just look for the chunks ^^ You don't need the whole body

    and how did you kill them? Was it an accident? Or just jumpy? That's happened to me a couple of times; like i was surprised by someone, and just took their head off.

    True.

    I intentionally take everyone's head off, and I'll take the relevant perks once I level enough to do so with greater efficiency. I only aim for the torso or legs when the head hit rate in V.A.T.S. is below 65%.

    I don't really see the issue with finding ammo though. It was tough early on before I headed off to the radio building, but I only used the 10mm pistol back then in order to conserve ammo. After you start killing a lot of Super Mutants, rifle rounds (.38) are everywhere. Sure, .308 (sniper rifle) and energy weapons ammo is rare, but everything else is very plentiful if you strive to make every shot a critical or sneak attack. Also, use what all of them use, 10mm and .38 rounds. The Hunting Rifle is my bread and butter.

    After taking the scrounger perk, I've got ammo up to my eyeballs.


    Wild dogs still kick my ass though. I usually lose a quarter to a third of my health before I can decapitate one. Too fast to run away from too.

    Right after I complained about not finding enough ammo, I happened upon Rivet City. You'll feel bad about taking the scrounger perk if/once you visit there.

    I went with Commando to improve rifle accuracy in VATS and Fortune Finder to get more caps to buy stuff with.

    They're making it harder and harder to nuke Megaton. Some of the folks are very nice and it will be sad to kill them all.

    I found an easy way to reset your karma to neutral. The solution involves Rivet City.
