Game: Fallout 3

You mean the chick in Megaton's family? what did you do?

I think her name is Jenny West and you have to find her little brother who has been taken by Vance and the Family. I killed Vance and the entire Family because it was the only way to free the kid because my science score is too low to hack the security on the room he was trapped in. Once I freed him and showed him his sister's letter, he thanked me and asked me to go to Arefu and let Evan King know he's coming. Once I left the Family's hideout, it said everyone in Arefu hated me and therefore I failed the mission.

You can also use a high enough speech skill on Vance, or if you have the Lady Killer/Black Widow perk you can use special dialogue options to persuade some of the other members of the Family to give you the password. No science needed.

I used all of my skill points/perks for money/strength/weapons and some learning. No smooth-talking, since it's not my strength in real life. I'm pretty much playing the game like it's me as the main character, even making my appearance as close as possible.

Killing them all was fun and the loot from the area was worth it. I just don't understand why it would upset everyone in Arefu and make me fail the mission, since I freed the brother and was going to Arefu to tell his friend.

Wow..you're gonna end up being like a pirate...I just speeched them to get the win. Like, I think you're supposed to talk the kid out of there...not murder everyone. The only reason they busted in Arefu was because of some mistake...FYI Arefu was like a Romanian town where like, Dracula was helped by people in order to regain power.
