Fallout 3 Hints
Megaton House Notes
1 of 11: Go enter your house to find that you have a robotic butler named Wadsworth.
2 of 11: You can ask him for a drink to get a purified water item. Those are great to have when out exploring, since they'll restore your health without irradiating you or risking addiction. Keep asking him for drinks until he can't give you any more, then try again in a week or so.
3 of 11: KARMA TIP: Whenever you can get purified water from Wadsworth, give it all to the thirsty guy just outside the town's front gate to get a big karma increase. That can help make up for all the stealing and other bad deeds you may have been doing (assuming you don't want your character to be evil).
4 of 11: Wadsworth can also give you a haircut if you'd like to change your character's hair style, hair color, and/or facial hair.
5 of 11: Looking around on the ground floor, you'll find a bobblehead collector's stand. Activate it to put all the bobbleheads you've found so far on it (without losing their effects, of course).
6 of 11: You'll also find two sets of lockers and a refrigerator. All three are good for storing items that you want to keep, but not carry around all the time. You could put restorative items in the fridge, weapons in one locker, and custom weapon-making components in the other locker, for instance.
7 of 11: There's a sink near the fridge that you can use to restore health, but it's not as good as the sinks in several other places in town, including the two restrooms.
8 of 11: Go upstairs and check out the bedroom to find that you've also got a desk and filing cabinet to put stuff into, making a total of five containers. You've also got a bed you can sleep on at any time to restore health and limb condition, plus get the "well rested" benefit, which gives you a 10% bonus to all XP earned until it wears off in 12 hours. (You can check the Stats/Status/EFF screen on your Pip-Boy at any time to see whether it's still in effect.)
9 of 11: And that's only the starting stuff. You can go to Craterside Supply on the west side of town and talk to Moira Brown about new items and themes for your house.
10 of 11: If you want to know more about a particular one, you can ask her about it to get a brief description.
11 of 11: After that, she'll have the items listed in her regular store inventory. They're all very expensive, so decide what you want first and save up for it. When you want to buy a theme, ask about buying stuff for the house, then ask about the themes. When you choose a theme, it gets temporarily added to her store inventory.
