Fallout 3 Hints

Stop the Overseer.

  • 1 of 5: You can get this objective by talking to Amata and telling her that you'll stop the Overseer.
  • 2 of 5: If the Overseer is Mack, your only option will be to choose a provoking dialogue option with him and then kill him.
  • 3 of 5: If the Overseer is Amata's father, you'll have a chance to talk him down from his position of keeping the vault closed.
  • 4 of 5: To help in your chances, you should read all the entries on the terminal in the Overseer's office, plus go to the Security room and use the terminal on the desk to release Mr. Brotch and read the confidential file.
  • 5 of 5: When you talk to the Overseer, say you know how to solve the vault's problems, then say that he should open the vault. You can then try to pass a Speech Challenge or (if you read the confidential file) choose the option about the secret security raid.
