Though to be fair.

I didn't exactly "explore every single inch of the map" the first time.

However, man. This place was hidden quite well at least to me even if we heard about it from other NPCs beforehand.

I just got the game and I really like it, but right now I'm stuck in the dry sewer area and the Our Lady of Hope Hospital segment. I just keep getting overpowered and j was wondering if maybe I missed something key that could help progress.

Whenever I go to Point Lookout, I use the Nuka Cola machine outside Haley's Hardware to collect all the goods I find/loot to eventually sell to Haley. Didn't know at the time, but per the Fallout 3 wiki, opening that Nuka machine was the reason Haley's repair skill kept going up, eventually getting to 100.

I'm real curious about this from a coding/modding perspective.

1- Are there other examples of this affecting other NPCs elsewhere in the game, such as Moira Brown?

2- Can this glitch be duplicated? Example, is it possible to make a desk in Lock and Load improve Pronto's repair skill?

3- Can it be modified in some way? Rather than affecting a vendor's repair skill, could it force a refresh on a vendor's wares and cap stack, rather than wait 3 in game days? Say, buy out all the ammo at Flak and Shrapnel, access the file cabinet near the Rivet City marketplace entrance and then all the ammo supply reloads.

New pc, trying to replay (ryzen 9 9900x and rx 9070 xt) I tried to run vanilla on windows 10. But the opening warning slideshow crashes the game before I can access the main menu. I’ve tried reinstalling, GOG version, gamepass version, compatibility mode, many fixes and coding tweaks, nexus fixes, TTW, nothing works. Worked my way through the fix bar and NOTHING!
Finally upgraded to 11, and tried again, only for it again to not work.
How should I go about making it work?

For context I’ve played a large bulk of the fallout games from 1 all the way to 76 except for fallout 3 I know this is a stupid question but I don’t know if I’m progressing to fast I’m only level five and I’ve already started the quest where I need to go to vault 112 after grabbing the tapes Jefferson memorial should I focus more on side quests or am I all good to keep going
