Fallout 3 Hints

Continue to search for clues ... OR tell Zimmer he's dead.

  • 1 of 4: At some point during the obtaining of the holotapes on the "Search for clues about Zimmer's missing android" objective, you may meet up with a woman named Victoria Watts.
  • 2 of 4: If you do, talk to her about the missing android to get this objective.
  • 3 of 4: You can either go to Zimmer and use the android part that Watts gave you to finish the quest by convincing him the android is dead, or you can continue working on the above-mentioned objective.
  • 4 of 4: If you tell Zimmer the android is dead, you'll only get 50 caps and some karma points. You'd probably rather go for the bigger rewards of the other route.
