When you are out there on the wastelands, having pretty good skills can mean the difference between life and death. Whether it means being able to make a couple of hundred caps more for doing a job or being able to stealthily sneak past a roaming enclave patrol, skills are the numbers that help gauge how well you will do in almost any event.

Now that you have been able to help fix Three Dogs little broadcasting issue and the Galaxy News Radio is available in the greater part of the Washington wastelands, you can finally get back to your real mission of chasing after Dad. And your next stop: Rivet City.
After a spectacular fight against a Super Mutant Behemoth, the Lyons’ Pride will accompany you inside The Galaxy News Radio Building, home of Three Dog and the central operating site for the revolutionary radio station. But you are not here to ask for autographs, you want some answers Three-Dog seems to be the man with the knowledge of where your father has gone .
Bottlecaps is the number one currency in the world of Fallout. Almost every item you find in the wasteland will have a Bottlecap value and this guide will help you figure out which items are the most cost efficient to carry.
This is one of the longest quests in the game, but it also has some of the most humorous and information packed events you will ever come across. Most importantly, it is also one that nets the most earnings in terms of loot and rewards. Start it out by talking to Moira Brown at the Craterside Supply store in Megaton (she runs it) and she will ask you for help in researching data for her book. Tell her that you will help her and the quest begins.
Once you are out of the vault, the first place you should head out to is Megaton –that giant towering dome of junk. There will be a ruined town just to your left, but you can ignore that for now. Anyway, Megaton is a sleepy little town of wasteland survivors protected by the polite and dutiful Deputy Weld (a Mr. Protectron robot) in front and a sniper from above.
There is a giant bomb in the middle of Megaton and someone has to take of it.
Finding this quest is easy, either by talking to Lucas Simms upon first entering Megaton or through Mr. Burke at Moriarty’s Saloon. Like many other quests in the game, your decisions in this matter will heavily dictate your gameplay throughout the game. This quest requires that players have at least 25 explosives skill in order to interact with the Megaton bomb (if you have a slightly lower skill, using drugs will help).
There are two ways to solve this issue, one is by disarming the bomb, which makes everyone happy (except for Mr. Burke) and result in you attaining plenty of positive karma, the gratitude of Megaton’s dwellers an most importantly, a home to call your own.
