Two Followers
How to: Hire Charon. Fire him before freeing Fawkes from Vault 87. Hire Fawkes once you meet him outside. After a while it should appear, "Charon gas returned to the ninth circle". Go back to Underworld where you first hired Charon. Hire him. Now you have two Followers. I do not know if this works with any other follower.

Getting to GNR the easy way.
Simply obtain the Ghoul Mask from the mission at Tenpenny Tower by coming to a peaceful resolution. Roy Philips will give you the mask as a reward for getting the ghouls into the tower in a non-violent way.
The Ghoul Mask tricks all ghouls in the game into thinking you are one of them, this means they wont attack you.
The metro tunnels under DC are crawling with these abominations, but by wearing the mask you can easily make your way to GNR or any where with out much fuss and saving a tonne of ammo in the process.

The 55 Gallon Drum Carryall
How to: If you are having trouble carrying with over-encumbrance, this cool trick could help you tote around some extra gear. First go through and clear an area of enemies, then grab (Click the right analog stick) a 55 gallon drum. They are ubiquitous in most areas. Fill up the drum by physically picking up items and dropping them in and you will have an instant "shopping cart" for all your stuff. You can even fast travel with it -- but when you appear at your destination the drum falls to the ground and you have to pick it all back up again. *** Updates / DLC may disable this! Try using body parts instead (but Fast Travel still will not work).

Text-Based Adventure [Easter Egg]
Description: In the Publishing wing of Hubris Comics, some terminals will allow you to play a text-based adventure (ala Zork: The Great Underground Empire) called Reign of Grelok (beta). The objective of this game is to kill Grelok, for which there is no physical reward. Study up on your text-based adventures before venturing out on your quest: Use the commands N S E W for directions, and use basic terms to speak to people. Don't forget to swear!

Unique Weapons Part 2
Fawkes Super Sledge: When you 1st meet Fawkes after freeing him from the locked door, talk to him and trade equipment with him. He will already have an item called the Fawkes Super Sledge in his inventory which you can take from him.

The Break: The Break is a unique pool cue which can be found laying on top of the pool table outside of "Eulogy's Crib" in the middle of Paradise Falls.

Board Of Education: The Board Of Education is a unique nail board located in one of the abandoned shacks in the "Clifftop Shacks" area just outside of the Oasis. It is laying next to a skeleton lying on one of the beds.

Junders' Valid Points: Junders' Valid Points are a set of unique spiked knuckles. They can be obtained from the body of Junders Plunkett after you kill him. his hideout is located inside Arlington Cemetery and is on the top of a hill. (*** if you have enough good karma and have the note stating he is a wanted man, his dead body will also contain his finger which can be redeemed for a nice 1000 cap reward. If you do not have the note is can be found on the body of a dead Regulator on the steps of the nearby metro station).

Butch's Toothpick : Slightly more powerful switchblade, can be gotten from Butch after the Trouble at the Home Front quest. Kill him or ask him to follow you.

Vampire's Edge : This sword is locked in a hard locked cabinet named "sword cabinet" in Vance's room upstairs in Meresti Station.

The Shocker: Found in the flooded metro, the Shocker is a more powerful power fist(24 damage if 100% repaired).

Occam's Razor: Occam's Razor is an augmented combat knife found on the CO in the very bottom of Ft. Bannister.

Eugene: Eugene is an improved Minigun which can be given to you by your choice after completing the side quest Reilly's Rangers. Reilly rewards you for helping them you have a choice between Eugene and armor.(tip: choose Eugene)

The Strike: In the slaver camp of paradise falls (you may have to go there in the main quest), on a pool table outside in the main are (outside the shops Eulogy Jones' pad and the slave cages)there will be an augmented version of the pool cue. Beware of slavers, people with good karma.

Highwayman's Friend: In Canterbury Commons, located in the far middle east part of the world map, you will find a Tire Iron called the Highwayman's Friend. The weapon is on a shelf in the back room of Dominic and Machete's house.

Terrible Shotgun: In Evergreen Mills (NE of Girdershade) There you will discover a raider hangout including full bar and brothel. A fellow named Smiling Jack resides here and will not shoot you. Kill him for the Terrible Shotgun, a souped up Combat Shotgun.

Experimental MIRV: This gun is a unique variation of The Fat Man that shoots 8 mini nukes at once. It is the most powerful weapon in the game and can be found on a table in a secret room in the armory of the National Guard Depot. There is a computer that asks for a 4 digit passcode. The passcode can only be found by piecing together the Keller Family Holotapes. It comes with 5 mini nukes.

The Infiltrator: This high powered Sniper Rifle can only be found in The Pitt add-on. In the Arena, beat the final challenger and search his body for the Infiltrator.

Easy Deathclaw gauntlet.
You Can obtain the schematics for the deathclaw gauntlet aswell as the essential deathclaw hand by heading directly south of Girdershade. Head toward the infamous Dunwich building, about halfway there you should encounter a Deathclaw prowling close to an old caravan. (use V.A.T.S to avoid being ambushed) Kill him with a Sniper or Hunting rifle and collect his hand from the carcass. Then go into the caravan where there is a dead wanderer and the schematics for the gauntlet.
Now head to VAPL-58 power station (southwest of Arefu) where you will find the Medical Brace, Leather Belt and Wonderglue, aswell as a work bench to make the gauntlet.

Although not the most powerful weapon in the game its still pretty cool.

Help with Hacking.
At the code screen with all the possible pass codes and jargon, you can eradicate a dud passcode and replenish your guess chances.
Simply scroll through the random jargon and at the right spot your cursor will highlight a block of seemingly random text. It is usually a question mark in between two brackets, e.g (?) but can be about 8 symbols long.
Depending on what the brackets look like, e.g >]) depends on what reward you get for selecting them.
As far as I know if you highlight a line bracketed with ( or [ it usually removes a dud passcode. If you high light a block bracketed with < it usually replenishes your guesses.

Unlimited speech XP points * By Danox (viapurico) *
Go to a town called Big Town, its south east of moonbeam outdoor cinema and north west of Megaton. Find a woman called Bittercup, be kind to her during the dialogue sequences and she will mention that she came to Big Town with a man called Pappy.
You can find Pappy in the last house on the left side of town. Chat to him and you will be given a Speech percentage option. Select this option and even if you fail, the option doesnt dissapear thus allowing you to keep asking the question and keep gaining XP (although the percentage of the question does drop everytime you get a failed attempt it never drops to zero. it dropped to 43% in my case).
I leveld up from 3 to 7 in around 20 minutes.
Be careful as you leave though as there may be super mutants wandering around outside.

I wrote this review again because I wasnt registered and didnt realise I could gain points with a good review.
I am Danox, AKA viapurico, honestly.

Hope this little secret helps, happy gaming -)

Unique Weapons
The Vengeance: In the Deathclaw Sanctuary (northwest corner of the world map), follow the caves down and be prepared for many a Deathclaw encounter. In the southeastern corner of the caves is a pool of blood under a column of rock. In this pool there is a heap of gore with the Vengeance, an overpowered Laser Gatling Gun.

Waser Wifle: After getting access to Little Lamplight, you will find a child named "Biwwy" who will sell you the Waser Wifle, an augmented Laser Rifle, for 500 caps. If you have the Child at Heart Perk, you can get it for free (choose "You said you didn't need it, why not just give it to me for free?").

Abe Lincoln's Repeater Rifle: Enter the Museum of Natural History and go to the lower levels. In the Museum Offices, there is a central room with a gun case. Lincoln's Repeater Rifle is here, a strong Hunting Rifle that uses .44 rounds.

The Kneecapper: In Girdershade, in the southwest corner of the world map, the town letch, Ronald, has a Sawed-Off Shotgun named the Kneecapper. You will have to kill him to get it, passively (via a pissed off radscorpion) or actively (a shot to the head).

Terrible Shotgun: In Evergreen Mills, in the southwest corner of the world map, you will find a heavily protected raider hideout, including a Super Mutant Behemoth. Inside the center building is a series of caves where the raiders have set up a brothel and a bar. One of these raiders will not attack you, and his name is Smiling Jack. He's a trader, but you should trade him a bullet to the head for his Terrible Shotgun, a better Combat Shotgun.

The Firelance: One random event while exploring the capitol wastes is an inexplicable explosion. Head to this area to find the Firelance, a souped-up Alien Blaster and some scattered ammo (which glows and is easier to find at night).

Jack the Ripper: This upgraded Ripper can be found at the lower-middle of the S-shaped map of the Deathclaw Sanctuary. It's on a dead Enclave Officer in a pile of bodies, next to a giant ant.

Sydney's 10mm "Ultra" SMG:Inside or just the outside Museum of History in Downtown DC you will find a Super Mutant-fighting Ghoul named Sydney. She asks for help defending the area from Super Mutants. You can help her and if she dies, take her "Ultra" SMG -- or just kill her and steal it.
A3-21's Plasma Rifle: In the "Replicated Man" sidequest, do not to turn Harkness in to Dr. Zimmer. Instead speak with Harkness and chose to unlock his repressed memories. Once you do this, speak with him again and tell him that he should not kill Dr. Zimmer, but instead tell him to run away. He will thank you and give you his old (albeit more-powerful) Plasma Rifle! You may be able to kill him for it too.
Smugglers End: Once you gain access to the Brotherhood Citadel you can take, search or lockpick anything that you want. When you are in the Solar room you can lockpick the Elder Lyons safe (if your lockpick skill is high enough) and find 300 caps, other misc. items and Smugglers End, a powerful laser pistol.

O1' Painless rifle: In the Republic of Dave, in the northeast corner of the world map, kill Dave to get his key and access to his safe. Inside is the Ol' Painless Rifle. Contr
Xuanlong Assault Rifle: This powerful Chinese Assault Rifle is located on the body of Jiggs in the diner ner the Jury Street Metro Station. This location can be discovered via the Museum of Technology mini quest, Jiggs' Loot.

Reservist's Rifle: This is dropped by the Drifter in Dickerson Tabernacle Chapel (upper west of world map). It is an augmented sniper rifle.

Victory Rifle: This augmented Sniper Rifle is in a Very Hard locker in the Sniper Shack to the west of Rockbreaker's Last Gas (Middle west of worldmap).

Protectron's Gaze: The Mechanist has this augmented laser pistol. Get it by giving him the Antagonizer's costume. *** this results in negative Karma.

Miss Launcher: This powerful missile launcher also is 5 WG less in weight than its normal counterpart. Find it in the storage room in the lower level of Fort Independence.
Zhu-Rong v418 Chinese Pistol: Found in the east wing of L.O.B. Enterprises in a Very Hard Locked case on a desk upstairs, the Zhu-Rong is a pistol that will ignite flammable substances.

Blackhawk: The augmented Scoped .44 Magnum can be obtained from Agatha after completing both Agatha's song and an additional Sheet Music fetch quest (in the Springvale school). You must request a reward from here in the dialog tree for this.

The Burnmaster: In the very bottom of Falls Church/Mason St. Metro you will find a radiated ghoul camp; here you will find the Burnmaster, an improved Flamer.
Stabhappy: Stabhappy is an upgraded Combat Knife in the "Raid Shack", a house of Raiders. Just head directly East from the Bethesda Ruins and you will see a fenced in house called the Raid Shack. Kill the Raiders inside and one of them carries Stabhappy!
Fisto!: In the MDPL-13 power station, enter the door on the right. You will be in an office and on the table in the center of the room is Fisto! the upgrade to the Power Glove. Beware of Ghouls.

The Alien Blaster
Head due north from the MDPL-13 Power Station and you will soon find a small mountain. On the east side of this mountain you will pick up a Recon Craft Theta radio signal. This will occur when you are just a bit north of an imaginary horizontal line through Greener Pastures Disposal Site to the far east. Search the east side of the slope for a destroyed house and you will soon come across the source of the signal just west of that: a downed flying saucer. Its pilot can be found below the open cockpit (beware the radiation!). Near the pilot is the Alien Blaster and a bunch of ammo rods. This powerful weapon gets critical hits frequently and is the bane of Behemoths. You will find ammo for it randomly throughout the wasteland if you are lucky, so use the ammo you'v got sparingly!

Prototype Medic Power Armor
The Prototype Medic Power Armor is in Old Olney in the far northeast corner of the world map. Since you will encounter many Death Claws, you may want to set the difficulty to "Very Easy" before exploring this area. On the southern-most street Old Orney is a manhole. Use it to access the sewers. As you make your way through the sewers, you will come across a ladder on your left. Keep moving past it and a downed Brotherhood of Steel Initiate will be on the ground. You can take the armor from the corpse. Here's the kicker: it talks! Oh, and it auto-administers Med-X when your limbs are damaged.

Followers
Description: There are 8 followers in Fallout 3. You must have a certain Karma level for most of them. Below is a list of the followers and how / where to get them:

Butch	In Rivet City, after completing Trouble on the Homefront [Neutral Karma]
Sergeant Rl-3	A robot who can be bought of a wasteland-wandering salesman named Tinker [Neutral Karma]

Hidden Hacking Help
When you are hacking, the excess symbols between viable passwords selected and used to your advantage. You will need to find clusters of symbols bracketed by parentheses, such as (%$*!^*&&), which can be highlighted as a whole. Submitting this should result in a removal of a bad cheat-password or fully replenish your attempts. Remember: you can always back out and restart to avoid lockout. Happy hacking!

Save Your AP
Description: technique to save Action Points (AP) used in VATS.

How to: If you are feeling confident when fighting an enemy or group of enemies, simply aim at an enemy in VATS, but don not fire. You will retain your AP but still be aiming at the part of the enemy's body in question that you were in VATS. If you shoot quickly enough, you should still strike the desired area without having to expend any AP whatsoever.

Boosting Your Experience
Description: great way to gain lots of experience. Before you do anything that is going to net you some experience (such as picking locks, hacking, et cetera), change the game's difficulty setting to Very Hard. Now, hack the computer or pick the lock (or whatever). Successfully doing so on a harder difficulty level will get you more experience. You can also utilize this technique on mortally-wounded enemies to gain more experience from them as well. Be sure to change the difficulty back to a more manageable level when you are done!

Infinite Experience
Location: Andale
How to: You will need to have the Mister Sandman perk activated, which will mean you have to be at least at level ten. you will also need a sneak skill of at least 60. If that fits your character, then travel to Andale. Andale is full of kids that can not be killed (killing kids in Fallout 3 is an impossibility). During nighttime, when everyone in Andale is sleeping, break into various houses and kill the kids while sleeping using the Mister Sandman perk. They will not die, but you will still be rewarded experience for having killed them. You can then repeat the process over and over again for infinite experience points.

Stowing Goods on Dead Bodies
Description: Carrying too much stuff and find yourself encumbered? Try this trick.

How to: You know how you can search downed enemies' corpses for the goods they carry? Well, you can also place your own goods onto the corpse. Since corpses tend to stay around after they die seemingly indefinitely (or, at least, for a good long time), you can drop presently unneeded items onto the corpse of a foe you have killed, and then go back at a later date to get your stuff back. This is a great way to never become encumbered.

Super Mutant Behemoth Locations
Description: The game's 5 Mutant Behemoths locations.

Location: Evergreen Mills, Galaxy News Radio, Jury Station, Takoma Industrial, and The Capitol Building.

Finding Dogmeat
Description: Get a pet dog in the game

How to: Find the area known as Scrapyard, (Northeast from Megaton, just over the river). The dog is automatically named Dogmeat, and you can get him at any time, whether it is early in the game or otherwise. The dog can attack enemies endlessly and cannot die.

Dogmeat can die. Keep him healed using Stimpaks!

Free Evil Items at Paradise Falls
Description: Have bad karma (or do not mind having even worse karma)

How to: Head over to Paradise Falls, a place a group of evil slavers call home. To gain entrance without having to open fire, you have to be friendly with the slavers, which will give you an evil slant. But if you can do this, you will find a guy endlessly walking around the settlement. Chech by the bar. When you get near him, he will stop you automatically and tell you he found some cool stuff on a recent raid, and give you some of what he got (it will be either some ammunition, Bottle Caps, or various aid items). After your 1st encounter, all you have to do is keep speaking to him to earn more and more free stuff.

Unlimited Items
If you have a sneak rating of at least 60, you can attempt this infinite goods trick, which takes place at Fort Independence. get yourself to Fort Independence with a lot of Scrap Metal in your inventory. Speak with Protector Casdin and tell him you have got junk you would like to give him. In return, he will offer up 5.56mm Rounds, Frag Grenades, RadAways, and Stimpaks, and you can choose which you want. Now, save your game (in case you fail the following) and steal your Scrap Metal back from the Protector. Sell the Scrap Metal back to him over and over again, thereby netting you infinite amounts of 5.56mm ammunition, Frag Grenades, RadAways and Stimpaks.

Extra Inventory Space
Running out of room in your inventory and do not want to ditch any of your gear?

Consider trying to find a companion character. These companions can be found at various places throughout the world and will agree to join you on your journey (temporarily). You can trade equipment with these characters, which will allow you to dump your equipment on them, making you virtually unencumbered. Consider this option when you not only need help with bad guys, but help carrying your stuff as well!

Hacking Indefinitely
When you hack a computer in the game, you have 4 tries to hack it successfully. If you do not guess the right cheat-password on the 4th attempt, the station you are trying to hack will permanently shut down. But if you only try 3 times and stop the process before trying for a 4th time, the cheat-password will reset, giving you 3 more options.

You can do this indefinitely without risking permanently shutting the terminal down.

Where to Explore ?
Following old roads, rivers, and those rows of destroyed power line towers you see all over the landscape can be good guides for places of interest and areas to explore.

Extra Weapons (in Operation Anchorage)
*** this cheat only applies to the Operation Anchorage downloadable content pack. As soon as you are able to control your own strike team, you will be able to get specific weapon loadouts from a terminal. If you give these to the Quartermaster, you can go get another loadout. Drop all the new stuff and chat to the Quartermaster. He will give you your stuff sans ammo. That is no problem though, since you can head to the ammo dispenser for more. Pick up the weapons on the ground when you are ready to go, or repeat for all the weapons you can handle.

V.A.T.S. Spotting
Searching hostile territory or simply surveying the area around you for enemies you might not yet see? Try hitting the VATS button over and over again as you make your character turn around, searching all angles. Doing this will alert you to any enemies you may not have seen yet, by zooming in on them in VATS mode. You will not be able to do damage to your enemy from such a distance, but it is a good way to spot them before they spot you. This way you know what you are getting yourself into before it all hits the fan.

You can also do this if under cover and you see an enemy, using V.A.T.S. on them might show you a grenade well placed on a belt that could make a shotgun blast ruin the enemies day.

Infinite Caps (and more) -Glitch
Description: Earn infinite amounts of caps, items, repairs and ammunition.

Location: The supply shop woman in Megaton or any shop-based trader.

How to: The shop woman in Megaton has some high value items that you would otherwise spend a fortune on, including all the stuff for your house and a schematic for the Rock-It Launcher.
1. Sell her any stuff in your inventory that you do not need and complete the transaction. This will boost the amount of money she has.
2. Find something in your inventory that you have 2 of, or that you have one of as well as her. Sell this found item to her.
3. Check that the 2 like items are of different values once they are in her inventory. The bigger the difference in value, the better and the lower the cheapest item is the better.
4. Now buy back the cheaper of the 2 like items and complete the transaction, but do not leave the trade session. Look for the item in your inventory. The game should have glitched and the item should have gone up in value dramatically and should be 100% repaired, even though when you sold the item initially it wasn't.
5. If it is not 100% repaired for whatever reason, sell the item back to her anyway and repeat step 3-4, trying a different item if necessary.
6. From here, the game will remain glitched and you will be able to sell the same item high and buy it back low until you have drained her money completely. If you want, you can hold onto the item as it will be fully repaired - simply keep it on the final round which will leave her with a small amount of money.
7. Either sell the item back to her again once she is out of money, or if you are keeping it, sell her something else of high value and she will owe you that amount. The transaction price will go dim and remain at whatever amount of money she has left.
8. Search through her inventory and find stuff you need. Stimpaks, ammo, miscellaneous item, weapons and armor are all fair game. Eventually, the transaction price will light up again and you may owe her a few caps depending on how much of her stuff you added to the deal. Complete the transaction.
9. If you wait 3 days, she will have new stock and around 350 caps. The longer you wait, the more robust her inventory will become and the more caps she will have to do this tip over again.

Infinite Good Karma Tip
Description: another technique for infinite good karma.

Location: Megaton

How to: Find the church for the Children of the Atom, religious people who worship the undetonated nuclear bomb which Megaton is built around. There is a priest who will be near the bomb or in their building. Chat to the priest and he will ask for donations. Give him donations, and you will get a positive karma boost. Do this as much as you want for as much karma as you desire.

Carrying Goods
Description: Avoid becoming encumbered by holding too much gear and too many items.

How to: Say you pick up a heavy piece of gear, like 40 pound Power Armor, but when it is added to your inventory, it makes you encumbered. Drop the item and then press the right analog stick (or specified button for PC gamers) to pick the item up and hold it in front of you. Since it is being held and is therefore not part of your inventory, you will not be charged for its weight and can get to where you need to go from there without being too encumbered.

Hacking Indefinitely
When you hack a computer in the game, you have 4 tries to be successfully. If you do not hack it successfully on the 4th attempt (as in, you do not guess the proper password), the station you are trying to hack will permanently shut down. But if you only try 3 times and bail out of the process before trying for a fourth time, the cheat-password will reset, giving you 3 more options. You can do this indefinitely without risking shutting the terminal down.

V.A.T.S. Spotting
If you are heading into new territory or simply want to survey the area around you for enemies you might not yet see, try hitting the VATS button over and over again as you make your character turn around, searching all angles. Doing so will alert you to any enemies you may not yet see by zooming in on them in VATS mode. you will realistically be unable to do damage to your foes from such a distance, but it is a good way to spot foes before they spot you so you know what you are getting yourself into before the crap hits the fan.

Infinite Experience in Big Town
Description: A glitch that will allow you to get infinite amounts of experience (as long as your Speech skill is high enough).

How to:
1) Go to Big Town and find the NPC named Pappy.

2) Select the dialogue choice "You came here with Bittercup, right?" If this dialogue choice does not show up, find Bittercup, exhaust all of her conversation chains, and then try speaking with Pappy again. ([Speech 100%] should appear next to the dialogue choice if your Speech skill is at its highest. If it is not there yet, do not risk trying to convince him. Speech failure will result in this glitch permanently disappearing.)

3) Selecting that dialogue option successfully will net you 6 experience points. Speak to him again and you can get the experience again. Repeat as much as you want for as much experience as you want.

Never Break A Bobby Pin
Description: If you want to avoid breaking precious Bobby Pins when picking various locks in Fallout 3, exercise patience. If you have failed opening the lock on the first two tries, chances are a 3rd try will break the Bobby Pin. If you back out of trying to pick the lock and then immediately reattempt it, however, your Bobby Pin's strength will reestablish itself, giving you several more tries. Repeat this technique to never break a Bobby Pin.

Infinite Good Karma Tip 3
Location: Big Town.

How to: Go there at night, the town will come under attack from a Super Mutant raiding party. For each Super Mutant you help the few residents of Big Town slay, a small amount of good karma can be earned. Repeat this process as much as you want.

Infinite Good Karma Tip 2
Location: Outside of towns like Rivet City and Megaton

How to: You can find thirsty Wastelanders who ask you for Purified Water. Each time you give these guys a bottle, you will get a slight boost to your karma. Do it more and more, and you will gain more and more karma.

Never Break A Bobby Pin
Description: Avoid breaking precious Bobby Pins when picking locks

How to: Exercise patience. If you have failed opening the lock on the 1st couple tries, chances are a 3rd try will break the Bobby Pin. If you back out of trying to pick the lock and then immediately reattempt it, however, your Bobby Pin's strength will reestablish itself, giving you several more tries. Repeat this technique to never break a Bobby Pin.

Go to the underworld in the museum of history go in in nine circles in underworld talk to a guy named azurakhal then talk to him about charon then after talking about charon talk to him about his contract then dont pick the money sentence instead pick the sentence that talks about a deal then it says you will kill greta the girl in carols place you must kill her without attracting them to become hostile to you before killing greta save your game incase something goes wrong, so what you do is wait until you see carol and greta sleeping then equip your stealth boy then pick pocket greta and put a mine or grenade in her pocket then go away and wait for the explosion incase you can see at the compass red lines or hostile enemies at the compass go at the back of the counter go behind the pillar and wait until they become unhostile or the red lines become blue at the compass then go out side carols place and wait until your stealth boy has worn off go to azurakhal and say that gretas dead he will give you the charons contract talk to charon that your his master and watch as he kill azurakhal as his revenge to him for being azurakhals slave then search azurakhals body and get what you want you can also kill greta in another way wait until 9pm then go outside underworld you can see her smoking and you kill her there (note: if your done getting charons contract azurakhal must be at the counter before talking to charon that your his master if azurakhal is in bed and you talk to charon and he says that he will kill azurakhal first he wont get to kill him since charon is gonna go to the counter to kill azurakhal but azurakhal is in bed) See the video: Cheat Video

Rare Alien Blaster
Go to the MDPL 13 power station in the northern side of the map. head north and it will seem like your going no where until you pick up radiation this means your close soon you will find a crashed space ship. a body will be just outside of the drivers seat in his hand is the most powerful weapon in the game. pick up all the ammo around him and leave fast before you get radiation sickness.*NOTE* it is almost impossible to find ammo for the gun so make sure you use it wisely and will also take down the final boss in one shot.

Hint: Super Mutant Karma
If you want to earn infinite amounts of good karma, head to Big Town. If you go there at night, the town will come under attack from a Super Mutant raiding party. For each Super Mutant you help the few residents of Big Town slay, a small amount of good karma can be earned. Repeat this process as much as you want for the amount of good karma desired.

SUPER EASY XP
This cheat allows you to get super easy XP without loing health:

1)Achive the "Animal Freind" Perk

2)Set the Difficuty Level to the MAXIMUM

3)Go to the Yao Gui tunnels.

4)The beasts wont attack you, so simpley walk right up to them, aim a good gun at their head (E.G: Shotgun, Hunting Rifle, Laser Rifle etc) and keep firing. By the time the beast realises what's happening, it's brains will be all over the walls.

5)Explore the Tunnels, sneak attacking beasts when possible, and pick up the Bobblehead which is located in the Entrance Cavern while your at it!

How to get two g.e.c.ks in fallout 3
Once your in vault 87, do not free fawkes just yet. go to the end of vault 87 until you reach a room with something green glowing out of the window, go into that room to the g.e.c.k. yourself. once you have the g.e.c.k. go free fawkes and follow him to the same room you took the g.e.c.k. then he'll tell you to wait while he gets the g.e.c.k. when he comes back, talk to him and he will give you a g.e.c.k. you just got from before. you will now have TWO g.e.c.k.s instead of one.

Discount at moritys
To get a discount of gob be nice to him
he is in megaton don't blow it up (yet)

Free items from bittercup
Go to a town called big town near the super duper mart, go inside the big town common house and you should find a girl called bittercup talk to her about anything then leave the house then go back in talk to her again she should give you ammo, food etc. you can do this the next day and every day after that

Bad karma allies.
Don't want to kill people to have some bad karma guys/girls as your ally? I know something different then that. in megaton go to the brass lantern or moriarty's saloon. go to the terminal and if red press X and when the terminal screen shows up, press circle then when the terminal starts closing in tap X repeatedly and it will stop and the terminal will open and you can keep doing that.(each tap gives you a little bit eviler). it can also be used for other people that you need bad karma even getting into paradise falls easier.

Encumbered and Caps
A good way to drop stuff is to visit your house in Megaton and place the stuff you want to keep on the shelves or the empty lockers. This is a good way of storing different armour types so that as you progress through the game and find more of the same you can come back and keep repairing them so you can gain maximum DR or caps. A good way to get caps is everytime you come across a pre-war book keep it or if you find one from a vendor then buy it as each will be worth 100 caps once you have completed the Arlington Library quest

How to steal without getting caught
Pick up any item using the r3 (or equivalent) so you are just holding it in front of you. now just carry it off into a corner or somewhere you are hidden. noone will care as you havent actually stolen it yet. once you are hidden steal it. this works really well in rivet city where you can take everything off the shelves (chems guns etc.) then you can keep what you want and sell the rest back to the people you just stole it from.

Get and Keep Multiple Companions
Whenever you meet characters that team up with you for a mission, don't complete that mission and they will stay with you for as long as you want.
Example: Meet Sydney on the "Stealing Independence" mission but don't give Abraham Washington the Declaration Of Independence (until you want to). Then go get your K9 Dogmeat in the scrapyard (if you don't already have him). Now both characters will be with you, alert you to danger, and fight side by side with you as long as you'd like. Just make sure to have plenty of stimpacks to heal them.

Speed kills on Enemys
You may offten see Enemeys using grenades on you, it will be a tricky but very amusing option to get them down very quickly...
if you see one enemy make a trowing animation, Aim them in V.A.T.S. and search there for the grenade entry^^ The best way to use this is to aim with a shotgun or automatik weapon. After you found the grenade shot 2-3 times on it and look for fun that will come after... The most Suepermutants/Raiders or other Humanoid beeings go down by one grenade and Enclave-Soldiers get down after one plasma grenade or if they use scatter grenades they have crippled arms and hit you not good after this expirience^^ This works good in groups of enemys too and blast very big holes in the attack lines of enemies.
The best way for this kills is to play at least in normal mode because the grenade makes the enemy damage score on this trick, what means on light/very light the grenade makes only 75/50% damage...
Wish you most of fun on the Pigeon shooting^^

Experimental MIRV fat man
(Now I found out that the weapon that looks like a fat man but fires 8 mini nukes at once is called the,"Experimental MIRV Fat Man".To get it you need to get 3-6 holotapes that will unlock the door to it,the most of the holotapes are at the left of the map and one or two are near the right corner of the map.(I don't know what are the names of the locations but one of them has a star simbal.)You might get an idea if you take the explorer perk.

Unlock Megaton House
After leaving the vault , head to Megaton and speak with the Sheriff / Mayor . He will inform you of a nuclear device . By disarming it you will unlock a crib in Megaton (Explosive skill of 25 )

The Birds.
When exploring the wastelands look into the sky for a circling flock of birds. They almost always indicate a large settlement of somekind. Be vigilant though as the settlement could be full of Raiders, or worse.

Infinite xp - big town
Go to big town and talk to bittercup . she will say she dated pappy. then go talk to pappy and there will be a speech option next to one of your responces. it doesn't matter what speech skill you have, just choose this option. if it's a success you get xp, if not and you fail but you can still keep trying over and over. the higher your speech skill the more of a chance it will be a success. this will only work on a game which hasn't been updated because the update fixes the glitch.

Easy way to discover new locatoins
If you just srarted the game dont kill the caravans follow them wait for them to start walking away and follow them they might be slow but they take you to interesting places if you keep them alive they will come aross many creatures and raiders then go over to the thing they killed take everything and sell it for example I followed Lucky Harith and went to rivet city got a minigun 2 flamers a laser rifle and and almost 700 caps (by selling stuff to him) also 2 pairs of power armor but if they die and didnt take you to a new place oh well next time keep them alive HAPPY TRAVELING!

How to pick lock easyly
When you are about to pick lock something(when on the screen with the bobbypin and the scrudriver)try moving the scrudriver SLOWLY.If it does not work move the bobbypin a little then push with the scrudriver.if that does not work keep on moveing the bobby pin a little untill it unlocks.

Infinite EXP in Megaton
First you need at least two frag mines in your inventory, go to the Craterside Shop in Megaton, throw the mine on the floor by the wall in the room behind the merc dude than quickly disarm it and repeat. Just make sure you throw it right next to the wall.

Hacking
Easy hacking
To always hack successfully, go to the terminal, and save the game. Then, start the sequence. If you fail, just reload your saved game, and try again until you do it successfully.
Only use three attempts during a hack, so you leave yourself with one to back out. Then, go back to the attempts screen, and you will have four more chances. Repeat this as many times as desired. -From: Brett Grimes
If you move your cursor throughout the symbols, sometimes you will highlight a group of symbols. Selecting these "duds" will remove one of the words that is wrong from your choices. Also, it may grant you an additional attempt if you have already gotten a selection wrong. -From: Brett Grimes
Search around both fields, and you will find a string of symbols that you can enter as the password. It starts with "(", "

Reverse pick pocketing
The following method is used to put something into the target's pockets, rather than removing things. You can be caught doing this, and it will still result in Karma loss, but it does have some interesting uses. Any mine or grenade placed in someone's pocket will become live, exploding after a few seconds. This is why there is a Pants Exploded statistic in your Pip-Boy 3000 records. Also, all NPC AIs, not only those of your companions, will cause them to wear any armor with a higher DR than their own. If you put, for example, a Power Helmet in Three Dog's inventory, he will be wearing it on the next load, and you will be able to pickpocket his unique head wrap (Charisma +1, Luck +1). Many items can be obtained through reverse pick pocketing that could not be obtained otherwise without needless death. This works with weapons as well, but the AI instructions for weapon use are much more complicated, involving range, damage per round, and damage per second as well as the usual DMG rating. Consequently, using this trick to obtain weapons may not always work.

A free bed from the beginning
In "ditch_something" town (sorry I forgot the name )

the kid that gives you a request/mission with the name "Those!"(where you fight the FireAnts)
when he tells you to find his father inside one of the Houses in the town,
use that same house where the dead father is to sleep and get a health refill,

just go upstairs and you will find a "queen size bed" use it.

How pick locks
You need higher pick levels or go to the back door of the bar and then pick the top one left to right 20 times then turn the bottom one to the left and done:)

Rare Rail Gun
The rail gun can be found at 13 power station. go in the building and on the table there should be a rail gun pick it up and you have achieved a rail gun.

Seceret mail box in springlave
The seceret mail box will help first you have to destroy megaton then go back to the house on the right closest to the sighn and the mail box has every thing you need to find its sweet it eaven has a weapon in the game that only a download could get not any more this hasnt worked much but if it does enjoy

Get caps right after escaping the Vault
Once you escape Vault 101, follow the destroyed road until the first left by a water tower. Look to your left, and you will see a small house. Walk up to the front door (have your weapon readied), and it will say "Open door to Small Ranch". Go in and a woman named Silver will start walking towards you. If you are quick enough, go into V.A.T.S., and aim for her head two (2) or three (3) times. Once you shoot her search her, search her, and she will have usually 300 or 400 caps. This usually loses Karma. If you aren't quick enough, and the speech dialogue opens up, she will say who are you, did Moriarty send you? Say who's Moriarty? Then she will say he wants her dead,  and just say something usually saying that you aren't going to kill her. Then she will say thanks or something, and go sit down in her chair at the table. Once she has sat down, take out your gun, and aim for her head a couple times in V.A.T.S. Once she has died, search her and take her caps, and whatever else if you like. You might gain Karma after the "I'm not going to kill you part", depending on if you've me Moriarty (in Megaton), or not.

Now the grand finally want ammo for a gun you like for example a 44magnum or a laser rifle simply drop a weapon near them shoot the weapon out of there hand take the weapon they will ether pick up your gun and automatically have ammo for it or punch you

ps if I have made any mistake on these please feel free to comment
