Fallout 3 Walkthrough (Modded) Part 184

I travel to the DC ruins to explore the ruins of Franklin Mall. What will I find there?

DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded after the Windows Fall Creators update that partially broke Fallout Stutter Remover. You may notice more stutters and instability when I travel through the map and play the game. This problem was solved only after the release of the F3TF (Fallout 3 Tick Fix).

The mods I used in this series are listed here. Also, the complete playlist is now available on Youtube and Odysee.
