Fallout 3 Hints

How else can I deal with them?

  • 1 of 11: You can get rid of them.
  • 2 of 11: Killing them will turn the whole tower hostile, so look for other options.
  • 3 of 11: With Lydia Montenegro and Anthony Ling, you can get them to leave the tower in disgust by sneakily robbing the safes in their stores.
  • 4 of 11: Lydia's store is the "Boutique Le Chic" along the west side of the tower lobby's ground floor. Either pick the lock on her safe or hack the terminal next to it and unlock it from there.
  • 5 of 11: Anthony Ling's shop, "New Urban Apparel," is on the east side of the tower lobby, directly across from Lydia's store. His safe works the same way hers does.
  • 6 of 11: After looting the safes, talk to the store owners to get them to decide to leave. (And don't worry about them not being around as merchants anymore -- Roy Phillips' two ghoul friends will take over their shops later on.)
  • 7 of 11: As for the other three people that Tenpenny mentioned, they can all be eliminated by finding and using an incriminating letter.
  • 8 of 11: Read the love letter in your Pip-Boy's Data/Notes section to see who it's to and from.
  • 9 of 11: It's to "Susan" from "EW." That probably means Susan Lancaster and Edgar Wellington!
  • 10 of 11: Find Millicent Wellington, who's probably somewhere in the suites area, and talk to her.
  • 11 of 11: Mention the love letter when you get the chance, then follow her around as she guns down her husband and Susan. After she does that, she'll leave Tenpenny Tower for good.
