Logic keeps us from Madness which is weird that I'm using logic because I'm about as madness filled as can be. Luckily I don't go insane on this forum.DaggerOfCompassion said:
I randomly stumbled upon it while wandering the wastelands and the feeling of elation thinking I could help the children, the children that would grow up to go to Big Town, I stopped and smoked a ciggarette to bask in the moment of me actually finding Lamplight and I felt I had a duty to help the younguns as I had helped the older brethren and then I met MacReady, who happens to be a cock!. Then I walked in and I wish I hadn't.EMFCRACKSHOT said:
OP, Victoria Watts, MacReady and Squirrel are the end bosses, you must do everything in your power to destroy them.
hehe i think i might just start a new character and try that.. sounds.. interesting..Bobic said:
Get broken steel.
The level cap is raised and... well can't say why... but you should just get it. It'll really help you get value out of your game.

OR: Get the Child at Heart perk (needs 4 charisma) and get ready to love Little Lamplight to pieces.EMFCRACKSHOT said:
Don't mod it once you finish the campaign, make two games, one for campaign/others, and other for mods. Then get the Broken Steel DLC.DaggerOfCompassion said:
Give yourself 9 intelligence in 101, then immediately go to Rivet City in the bottom right corner of the map and pick up the bobble head in the science lab. This gives you the maximum 10 intelligence early in the game, and means you will get more points to increase your stats with every time you level up. Helps a great deal.
Tag small guns, repair and lockpick at the start, makes it easier to repair your own guns and nick stuff 
And explore, always explore. Leave Megaton, choose a random direction and wander in it.
Also, try to find a decent map to the subway system or prepare to spend a fair bit of time lost.

Then don't ask us.DaggerOfCompassion said:
OT: Just play it as you would if it were real life. At least for the first time through. Make decisions that you would make in real life. It makes it feel a little more personal as you inject your own morals and stuff into your character.
Do the main quest first because about the time you're done with all the sidequests you will have been bored by the game.
Atleast it was like that for me :]

Stealth (the Sneak skill) is your best friend. Make sure you're not spotted, and get the first blow, and you can defeat just about any single enemy, regardless of your level (note: the 9mm pistol is pretty weak, look out for hunting rifles, they're common and very decent weapons).
I just realized that mileage may vary in what I said, so here's a disclaimer:DaggerOfCompassion said:
Child at Heart makes all the kids go from aggressively hostile to you to a more neutral state. This means you can explore the area, get cool factoids from the kids, learn about their surprisingly awesome culture, and the kids are MUCH more tolerable. Plus, you get access to a special shortcut in one of the story missions, can strike "item A for item B" trades with some kids, and you can also use the local store (I'm fairly sure that you can't unless you're a Child at Heart).
You might still hate the kids if that's your predisposition, but you certainly won't go insane.
Dont go into it thinking its like any other shooter. Other than the engine it is NOTHING like oblivion, so dont let preconceptions fool you.
When hacking, if you find a set of brackets on the same line facing each other (i.e. (), [#%@] or ), select the whole thing and it will remove a dud password or replenish your allowance of guesses. Somehow I made it through 2 tutorials without learning that, then I looked at the manual one day and discovered it, but that trick helps immensely with higher level hacking.
