Fallout 3 Hints
How can I get this quest?
1 of 5: Go to Little Lamplight (location 11 on the Zone 4 Map) and enter the Lamplight Caverns.
2 of 5: Go down the cave tunnel until you reach a large closed gate.
3 of 5: Approach the gate to start talking to a kid who calls himself "Mayor MacCready."
4 of 5: If you don't have the Child at Heart perk and can't pass a tough Speech Challenge to get him to open the gate, ask how you can get him to trust you in order to get this quest.
5 of 5: NOTE: If you get MacCready to open the gate using a dialogue option, you can't get this quest from him. However, you can proceed as if you did.
