Without giving away anything:
HARD: Evergreen mills/old olney
Medium: The city
Easy: Most of the plains
Difficulty is not only dictated by level but by place.
Oh and if you get that random encounter with the deathclaw and victim, search the corpse for a really cool (-----)

Don't play the Mothership Zeta DLC. Or if you do, save before you go anywhere near the ship. There is a high chance that the levels will break in there, and you cannot leave. Plus its horrible and boring anyway.DaggerOfCompassion said:
Play and enjoy, and try not to be scared, i am, its terrible at parts, i have to play with lights on and music blaring
Ditch all of your clothing, run around in your underwear, and punch everything in the head with a Powerglove (ESPECIALLY Deathclaws). It may not win you the game, but it's fucking hilarious. Also, download the Broken Steel DLC first so you won't level cap your character at 20 by the end of the game.
Go to Old Olney first, it's a great place for players in their beginning stages to level up through combat. The NPCs there are pushovers.
I actually found it better not to start fresh, i didn't manage to enjoy the game until i grabbed a ton of hints from other people.DaggerOfCompassion said:
First off i'd advise getting your explosives skill to 30 during the tutorial.
Then when you reach Megaton at the beginning of the game talk to the Sheriff dude and say you'll disarm the bomb in the middle of the town. Then use your explosives skill of 30 to disarm it!
From that you get a free house! The whole quest takes like 2 seconds you just need that explosives skill to do it.
From then on you can hoard as many items as you want in your house and then filter out the stuff you can sell later on.

If you find yourself low on health often i'd recommend putting points into your Medicine skill. This makes Stimpaks more effective, which are your main health item.
Whether or not you follow the spoiler'd tips i just gave it's always best to just explore rather than follow the main quest. Hunt for some sidequests and do some random exploring and you'll find all sorts of crazy weapons and earn tons more money!
It's a Bethesda game, so remember that the main story can get fucked. In a desperate attempt to get you to play it, the only way to get power armour training is to do the main story. Luckily. power armour is shit. Go mods. I have mods to make power armour better, more stompy, and give you training at sensible points.
Play on PC, mod the hell out of it.
Also, try to get Chaplain result in the goat, get ye hammer and SMITE! SMITE the wastes!

WELL I SUGGEST YOU PLAY IT...also, don't go through the story line straight through. Very, very short. The DLC adds some spice, but mods are good too.
thats not the best way to deal with that quest.Dexiro said:
talk to the sheriff to start the quest, go and talk to mr.burke in the saloon he will give you a device to rig the bomb. after you speak to burke go back and tell the sheriff that burke wants you to blow up the bomb then go with him to confront burke. after the sheriff dies kill burke and loot both their gear. then when you get 30 explosives you can come back and disarm the bomb the sheriffs kid gives you the XP and money 
my advice is up your repair skill to as high as you can as early as you can will save you lots of money, then up lock pick , small guns and science. those 4 are your most important skills after them sneak medicine and speech are great.
Go to fallout nexus. Modded Fallout 3 is fun.
And don't forget to use the Fat Man whenever it is even remotely possible to survive the blast.

That way's a little better but my way was just a quick fix for new players ^_^phoenix352 said:thats not the best way to deal with that quest.

Depends what the OP's up for doing really.
I consider it worth not completing the game to avoid little lamplightAlways A Fez said:You need to go to little lamplight to get into that Vault, or you can't complete the game.EMFCRACKSHOT said:Stay away from Little Lamplight if you value your sanity.
And there is some really cool and easy to grab gear in old olney. Perfect for the budding adventurer
I hate it so much >_<
