Fallout 3 Walkthrough (Modded) Part 158

After completing Operation Anchorage, I have unfinished business in the Shadow And Dust - Tales From Southwest DC mod. To see the beginning of the exploration of this mod, watch part 47.
I had already completed Shadow and Dust Vol. 2 before the first one (Tales From Southwest DC). I made that decision because the mod edited a building in the initial area of this DLC (Bailey Crossroads). To avoid potential issues with quest progression, don't exit the Weston Arms Researchh Facility through the front door (01:02) before reaching Bailey Crossroads for the first time. Arrive there through the metro station, talk to Defender Morril, and kill the super mutants. Those steps will ensure the quest progress usually. As far as I know now, you are free to do things the way you want after that.

The full playlist is now available on Youtube and Odysee.

Shadow and Dust - Tales From Southwest DC is completed, as far as I know.
