    And more.

    http://www.giantbomb.com/guides/fallout-3-megaguide/645/

    Me, systech, and Jayge started it up on December 17th, got it turned around in 3 weeks. Brought in natetodamax as a hired gun to help us close it out, and here we are.

    This includes:

    • Main quest walkthrough
    • sidequest walkthrough (including unnamed sidequests)
    • Unique weapons information (still in progress)
    • Achievement guide
    • DLC for later
    • Bobblehead locations
    • Perks by level
    • SPECIAL and skill breakdown and analysis
    • Guide to all available companion characters
    • Weapons schematics locations and required components

    So yeah, use it please, and leave comments or feedback :) We'll be finishing up the weapons section shortly and continuing to revise any problems that come to light.

    Awesome stuff guys.  Really great guide from what I've been looking at so far, I still can't imagine writing a guide for a game like Fallout 3.

    That part made me lol'd

    "Fawkes


    The first time you meat Fawkes is in Vault 87 while looking for the G.E.C.K. Let her out, and she'll get it for you. After that, you'll be taken to Raven Rock where you meet up with her one more time when you get out. Fawkes will only come with you if you have Good Karma. If you don't, you can find her by the entrance to Underworld in the Museum Of History.

    Fawkes is pretty much your reward for staying good for the entire main quest. All you need you know is that she is the best companion in the game, and if you already got all the evil status achievements, go good immediately. Like any other companion, Fawkes can trade equipment with you (minus armor). She deals tons of damage with both default weapons and The only downside that was noticed were that she gets stuck in small areas sometimes. If you aren't too prone to combat in the open Wasteland, take her along. You'll be glad you did."

    Don't act like you're "posting factual information" in a vacuum.  You're trying to undermine the guide.

    We have a guides feature on the site for a reason.  It's a help to the community and a necessary component to flesh out the user-side of the site.

    Ive already put a decent 50 hours into the game and this guide will probably help me put in another 20.
    Also @Hexpane, I knew instanty which wiki you were refering to as I've been using it myself but regardless of the intent, your post read as if you were discounting the guide as rubish when from what I've read it rivals many "proffesionaly" done guides. so could everyone please stop the brewing flame war before it escalates.

    Meh. The guide is much easier to use and streamlined. I myself used fallout.wikia and continue to use it as I play through the game (I got 1000/1000 gamerscore tonight, woo!), so I understand Hexpane's sentiments. Doesn't stop him from sounding like a douche though.

    Flaming ends HERE.

    If it doesn't, face my wrath. Guides and wiki pages complement each other. Some information will likely be in both areas, but that is to make all sources more effective.

    Whoa, quite a few old threads being resurrected lately.
     
    Or is this common and I just haven't noticed?
     
    I totally could've used this guide back when I first started playing and didn't know anything.

    @Alphiehyr: No, don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say anything about trophy whores. The PS3 version, from the time that this was written, was in quite poor shape. I don't know if that's changed since its release, but it was the situation that we were in. We either owned the PC or Xbox versions because we wanted to play the game for fun. It wasn't until later when we decided to undertake a guide... Oh that, and none of us had PS3's.

    "Fawkes

    The first time you meat Fawkes is in Vault 87 while looking for the G.E.C.K. Let her out, and she'll get it for you. After that, you'll be taken to Raven Rock where you meet up with her one more time when you get out. Fawkes will only come with you if you have Good Karma. If you don't, you can find her by the entrance to Underworld in the Museum Of History.

    Fawkes is pretty much your reward for staying good for the entire main quest. All you need you know is that she is the best companion in the game, and if you already got all the evil status achievements, go good immediately. Like any other companion, Fawkes can trade equipment with you (minus armor). She deals tons of damage with both default weapons and The only downside that was noticed were that she gets stuck in small areas sometimes. If you aren't too prone to combat in the open Wasteland, take her along. You'll be glad you did."

    A fitting entry for Fawkes. 
     
    This guide is epic. Great job on this. As a Fallout 3 fan this has my Crakey stamp of approval.
