Back in Fallout 3, I headed towards the RobCo plant in order to finish off Moira’s quests. I took the opportunity to explore the southwestern area of the map in general, uncovering a bunch of other map markers. Most notably, I found Tenpenny Tower (apparently infamous, with the attention given to it in some forum threads) and a Nuka-Cola crazed woman who wants me to collect them for her.

I also ran across deathclaw enemies for the first time, and they’re tough indeed. Fortunately I have a new ally — the Mysterious Stranger perk. I picked it up on the last level up, and it’s turned out to be quite useful. Every time I use VATS for targeting, there’s a chance that this guy in a fedora and trenchcoat will show up and insta-kill the enemy for me, and it seems to happen around 10% of the time.

I then stumbled across Vault 112 inside an old garage, and apparently it’s part of the main quest to find my father. I guess I’ll pick up there tomorrow, having still not entered the RobCo plant…
