Fallout 3 Hints
Kill Dave and get his key.
1 of 6: To find Dave, you'll have to go way up to the NE corner of the wasteland area, to the so-called Republic of Dave (location 5 on the Zone 3 Map).
2 of 6: After you've been given asylum, talk to Dave about Crowley.
3 of 6: Or just skip that and try to pickpocket the key from him, since it's *very* hard to talk him out of it.
4 of 6: If all else fails, shoot him in the head until dead, then take the key from his body and make a run for it.
5 of 6: TIP: Before you leave, use Dave's key to open the safe in the corner of his office, which contains a unique hunting rifle.
6 of 6: TIP: To kill Dave without making the entire republic hostile, rig the election so he'll lose, then kill him after he leaves. See the "Election Day" undocumented quest for details.
