kevkiev Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Varied from this a bit on my last couple games, but generally my initial task is (subject to potential minor inaccuracies from faded memory): 1. grab as much weapons/ammo/armour from the vault as I can, leaving a lot if it in the entrance tunnel so I have room for more (and of course, grab the med bobblehead)2. hug the rock face and try to sneak underneath the bridge just NW of the vault (i think its NW) - the one with all the raiders (you're easily detected at that low level, but hugging the rocks helps max the sneak so only the first raider by the truck trailer detects you. Otherwise you attract a bunch, making it a lot harder.3. kill all the raiders and grab all weapons/ammo/armour - carefully, to minimize damage taken (usually end up with a low-condition sniper rifle)4. head east to the trailer in the gulley just past the billboard to sleep/ restore health5. head to Springvale and hit Silver up for caps before going to Megaton6. before entering Megaton, hit the hollowed out rock just outside of town (loot includes another low-condition sniper rifle) - all the while scavving everything I possibly can to sell to the Megaton vendors/caravans to save up some caps (empty soda bottles, bent tin cans, whatever) I did the above quite by accident my first playthrough, and just stuck with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relativelybest Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 First thing I did on my recent vanilla playthrough was actually to search the area around Megaton, killing raiders and taking their weapons. Then I visited the nearby Talon company base, shot the three guys in there and looted the place. They have a ton of good stuff, like a combat armor (which can be repaired with their own armors, natch) and some pretty good weapons. Best thing is, even if you just left the Vault, they'll try to shoot you on sight. So it's not like I'm the bad guy here: I was just exploring and maybe looking for someone to trade with. It not my fault those guys tried to kill me, forcing me to defend myself and then take all their stuff becuase, hey, that's the law of the Wasteland. If they didn't want me in there they should have locked the door! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7thsealord Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 If they didn't want me in there they should have locked the door! ... Or just put up a big 'GO AWAY' sign outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staghound Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I head for Megaton, collecting the goodies from the hollow rock on the way. Then do the bomb disarming, to get the home, and the leaking pipes. Then go to Moira and start the Survival Guide quests. As well as the Super-Mart I clear the Springvale School. Then as soon as I can I go to Rivet City and recruit Jessi as a a companion. Having Jessi around reduces your experience earning rate (Which you may, like me, think is not a bad thing)but she is very useful and has some fun dialogue. Then I try to complete Moira's Quests before getting stuck into the main quests.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordWushin Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 First I nuke Megaton, then take over Tennpenny Tower, then go ballistic on the deathclaws. Somewhere in there are cheats too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marharth Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I always like doing the antqueen/robotguy quest first. Pretty cool armor and a nice starting town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greslin Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 On vanilla, I grab everything that isn't nailed down in V101, sell it off in Megaton, disarm the bomb (with Mentats if necessary), and then head east to the Talon safehouse by the sewer waystation. Very quick with pistol, weapon and armor switches and stimpaks - Talons down and I have Talon Combat Armor, a decent laser rifle and possibly even a power fist. That's not a bad way to start the first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
