Fallout 3 Hints

Get to class and talk to Mr. Brotch about the G.O.A.T.

  • 1 of 7: Before you leave the clinic area, look around for a couple of items that might come in handy.
  • 2 of 7: Turn right after leaving the clinic to find the "Tunnel Rats" gang harassing Amata about being the Overseer's daughter.
  • 3 of 7: Go into the classroom and walk up to Mr. Brotch to talk to him.
  • 4 of 7: If you want to get past this G.O.A.T. nonsense quickly, you can ask if you really have to take this stupid test, then agree to see the results and fill it out yourself.
  • 5 of 7: Doing that will let you choose which three skills to tag for a permanent +15 bonus. (That is, permanent until the end of the next quest, at which time you'll be able to change them.)
  • 6 of 7: When you're done with that, you'll skip ahead to the "Exit the classroom" objective.
  • 7 of 7: If you decide to actually do the test, you'll get the "Sit down and take the G.O.A.T." objective.
