Don't go to Old Onley. It's inhabited by deathclaws, and as a new player you [b]cannot[/b] take them on. There is a sniper stash in a hollowed out rock near megaton. If you want a very good starting armour, and If you are alright with doing a little cheating, look up Fallout 3: How to get Power Armour Training early. I also have a thread from when I got the game few weeks ago. I received a ton of helpful replies on it, and I now have 2 end-game saves because of it and I'm starting another soon. Here's the link: https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/150581122/0/0 Few other little tips Don't blow up Megaton (unless playing an evil character is your thing) If anyone tells you to go to Old Olney or take a Teddy Bear out of a shopping cart, ignore them [spoiler]ENJOY TEH FECKIN GAME[/spoiler]
