Fallout 3 Walkthrough (Modded) Part 291

I complete some side quests and prepare for our assault on Vault 59. This is the fourteenth episode of Alton - IL.

Note: My experience with Alton wasn't the best. Many instabilities and crashes, but I managed to complete the quests.

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

The timestamps are below:

• 00:41 - Quest objectives. I return to Frank to tell him about Hartrick's proposal.
• 01:42 - I'll return in a few days to check on him.
• 02:16 - Now I'll focus on fixing the Boiler. I go south (and downstairs) to the Natural Spring. I open the door with the Boiler Room Key.
• 03:12 - I follow the pipe through the cave. I swim through the flooded passage and emerge on the other side. Many Mirelurks were there. The Overlord was added by Imperfection (main file and Broken Steel add-on), and the Venomlurk was added by The Mantis Imperative.
• 04:24 - I forgot to bring the materials to repair the Boiler. I return to the Underground Railroad.
• 06:38 - I return to Frank to buy some (of the) items to fix the Boiler. Scrap Metal x1, Wonderglue x2, and Lead Pipe x1.
• 10:04 - To the Natural Springs to repair the Boiler. I then report to Hartrick. Give It A Good Mopping is finished.
• 12:11 - Back to the main quest. I go outside and fast-travel to the Outcast Hideout.
• 14:31 - Talking to one of the Plague Outcasts about attacking the Plague.
• 15:17 - Borrow your armor and the Vault ID Card? For a cost?! 400 caps?! I have some Plague Armors with me! Speech check to lower the price.
• 15:46 - The Light Plague Armor and Vault 59 ID Card received. It automatically equips the Plague Armor.
• 17:03 - I store some stuff in the cabinet and toolbox down the rocks.
• 17:58 - I step on the water and immediately get Minor Radiation Sickness (LOL).
• 18:27 - Back outside. I fast travel to Vault 59 and enter it. I show my ID Card to the guard. Their security is awful.
• 20:01 - Quest updates. I can destroy the GECK or cut off the water systems. I was confused about the two markers on the map, so I went outside.
• 20:49 - The Vault 59 Exterior Storage is to the south, past the ruined building. I go to the lower and radioactive area and found the GECK Container. I loot the place first and leave.
• 23:00 - I return to Vault 59. I open the massive door through the control pod.
• 23:44 - A frag mine on the floor.
• 24:12 - A rigged terminal in the other room.
• 24:20 - The west path leads to the Utility area. The south door is to the Atrium. I chose the former.
• 24:36 - I continue west past the pipes to find the Vault 59 Server Module. I take the "Vault 59 Server Logs" from it. Quest objective completed.
• 24:57 - I read the note on the pip-boy before returning to the Vault 59 Exterior Storage.
• 26:03 - The GECK Container is open. I save before continuing. I use the Science option to shut down the water purification. I leave the place and return to the Outcast Hideout.
• 27:54 - I put my Hellfire Power Armor back and enter the place to some stuff I left in the toolbox.
• 28:57 - Fast traveling to the Underground Railroad. I go south into the tunnel to find John Hartrick. I tell him about the Vault 59 Server Logs and the water purification shutdown.
• 31:04 - I need to find Tom Howard. I study the map to locate him to give the Vault 59 Server Logs. Behind Enemy Lines is finished, and Fight Fire With Fire begins.
• 34:29 - I fast-travel to Ramshackled House and head south to intercept The Plague squad. I shoot the Plague soldiers in the Substation (east entrance).
• 36:10 - I take the Shipment Orders from a Plague Grunt. It mentions Substation 51b. I enter the east side door and go downstairs to the sewer tunnels.
• 37:52 - The Explosives Crate is upstairs in a room to the northeast. I leave through the nearest door to the Western Forest.
• 39:41 - I fast travel to the Underground Railroad. I return to Tom Howard. He needs two days to make the explosives. The man tells me to explore Alton, but I already did.
• 41:40 - "Interception!" perk added (Energy Weapons +5, Critical Chance +6%).
• 41:59 - I go to the workbench room to craft, repair and manage my stuff.
• 46:25 - It's time to sleep. Two days later. Disclaimer: I walked around Alton looking for quests and looting what I left behind but found nothing new (maybe I missed something?).
• 47:08 - I make my way to Vault 59 - Undercroft.

The attack on Vault 59 is about to begin.
