Fallout 3: I'm stuck, please help!

[tooktook]

I am in the town of children in the cave and I have to enter vault 87. I got to murders Pass but I don't know how to get past it. Help would be greatly appreciated.

I didn't go that way in my game, I went and found the smart kid and he showed me to a terminal which I hacked to get into the 'back' door. If you've got a moderately good Science skill I suggest you do that. I think the terminal was Medium difficulty (50 skill) though I could be wrong.

Thats the way I did it too, I think it avoids a section of the vault. I belive you can lock pick the door next to the terminal too, though I cant remember what the difficulty of the door is.

ask the "leader" of the kids to open to gate to where you need to go. I ran back and forth like an idiot about 3 times before I got everything done. Science skill is also great unless you want to fight endless hordes of super mutants.

There's an amusing thing you can do in Vault 87, if you like to see "behind the scenes" in games. This is less of an Easter Egg and more of a map glitch:

Spoiler

You can open Vault 87's main door, though I don't think Bethesda really intended you to do that. If you do, instead of being instantly flash-fried by radiation as I expected you just see green mist with no textures or geometry. I didn't leave the textured area but I suspect if you do you'll simply fall off the world... so make a game save before opening the door and peeking out.

You can see the "back face" of the geometry if you do, kinda like looking at the back of a Hollywood set.

You can either hack the terminal, or ask the boss guy to let you through. Its not that much further in.

EDIT: whats the waser wifle? how do i get it?

I dunno how far through you are. I'm still at GNR trying to get the satellite. I ran into Syndney, she died. Now I am clueless as to where to go

It's the special named Laser Rifle (there's a special named version of every gun with slightly better stats). You get it from one of the kids in Little Lamplight (either for 500 caps or free if you have the Child at Heart perk).

However, A3-21's Plasma Rifle is better and uses the same ammo.
