The White House is a location that can be discovered in this game, although all that's left of it a radioactive crater. There are a few good items there, and it can only be accessed through a utility tunnel manhole that is in the immediate proximity of the exit to the Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest train station.
In regards to the Nuka~Cola Quantums, I carried my quest for retrieving these items to extremes in my second play through. I saved before I entered any building or any other gate, etc., that I thought would open up a new game cell. The first thing that I did once I got inside this new area was to look for Nuka~Cola Vending Machines. If there were some in the area, and I didn't get a Quantum, I would reload, and try again. My luck level was at 10+ since early on, and I presently have 147 Nuka~Cola Quantums scattered around, or just sitting inside of the Pristine Nuka~Cola Vending Machine in my Megaton house. This took a lot of patience and many reloads, and I don't recommend it to anyone.

Wow that last statement is a little disheartening. And you're right NKQ is pretty useful stuff. However since I had just recently completed the NCC I kinda had my hopes up for getting a couple of skill books or maybe even a bobble head. Obviously I should keep my expectations much lower when defeating future VH locks and terminals. Oh well.
Just the way things played out I completed the NCC shortly before opening this VH safe.
Agreed. It's almost like they had bigger plans for the quest but (complete guess here) maybe something else in the game distracted them from being able to fill it out. For example the whole trying to help the little girl's "mungo" friend escape the camp ended up being pointless. In my play through I didn't make much of an effort to get him out, so he perished rather quickly. Then when I met Lucy (or whomever) I fully expected some negative dialog tree but heck she didn't mention him at all. She just basically said thanks and see you later.
BTW Ledoux's hockey mask is pretty dang useful, too bad it looks so dorky in VATS.

Do you actually have any control apart from moving him left/right? Because I'm doing Oasis and I know I can use my pipboy but damn it's a really poor model if you can't control his level in the water without swimming to rocks and hoping that you can get out. It seems a really daft system.

IIRC I was able to swim up and down unless it was very shallow water (Rivet City Bow). Try looking up or down while swimming forward.

Yeah, you can give them to her in installments, but I didn't do it that way, either. I waited 'til I had 30, then went to see her for the first time. You must go outside and come back inside before you can give them to her, though. Don't want to spoil the reason why. I thought it was pretty funny.

I didn't knew where to start, but now im with the quest with Three Dog and while i had this converstation with him, you could choose a comment with You're going to have a "Good Fight" on your hands if you don't help me.

Oh yeah i know what you're talking about. It's even funnier if you have Black Widow. I guess the proposition of a ménage à trois is just too much for some guys.
I have a problem with this game, well its more my problem.....
I have this immense paranoia every time I play the game that something will sneak up behind me and startle me and most of the time something does.
I have no problem with condemned, silent hill or L4D but Fallout gives me tension that at times is unbearable.
Maybe its the open world? Maybe its the hideous creatures?
Probably both...
Amazing game nonetheless.

Just got the Silver Tongue award, didn't think I'd make it, but I did. Also done the Behemoths one. I actually find the Deathclaws harder, but what hey!
Just got to finish Take it back and the one before (American Dream?) and the Vault C.E.O and I need to replay the game to do neutral and negative karma level trophies and Nuka Cola and Strictly Business to get my Platinum trophy.

Actually assuming you have saves around levels 7, 13 & 19 you can still get the neutral and neg karma trophies fairly easy. IE load a level 7 save (hopefully you have one that is 500 XP or so shy of leveling up) go to Megaton, start wasting innocents and about every 3rd kill or so check your karma rating. Once you hit neutral exit Mega as rapidly as possible, make a save and find some convenient locale with baddies, like maybe the Bethesda Ruins, to finish off the leveling up process. Now go back and reload the neutral karma level 7 save, kill some more innocents in Mega, etc. Rinse and repeat for saves on levels 13 and 19. Note if you're having problems finding a save with enough XP clearance between the 2 levels you can also lose karma by stealing stuff, however it takes much, much longer to drop in karma rating by stealing. As an example; killing an innocent will drop 100 pts from your karma, whereas stealing an item equals only a drop of 5 pts.

It really didn't. It look less than 5 months for them to give us the earliest content even though they always claimed that plans to do so were "not in the works." Hell, Broken Steel came out 2 weeks ago!
And best of all, the two additional packs that are in development are slated to come out for both platforms simultaneously.

They sure did. It's another timed exclusive. They pay for the privilige to exclusively have it for a limited amount of time. That way, the one who has it first is happy to have it exclusively, and the developer/publisher can cash on it twice after some time for other platforms.
Screw all those gamesdevelopers! I was intending on spending money on GT5 only this year, and now they come up with SCC, Shift, MW2, Max Payne 3 and now this! How on earth am I going to explain this to the Mrs...

I played Fallout 3 for 2 weeks - from April 29th until May 15th. And I'll never play it again.
It's a dreadful mix of "The Hobbit" text adventure, D&D and the long-standing sci-fi tradition of a futuristic, but post-apocalyptic, wasteland filled with pop-culture references. The dialogue varies from the odd to the implausible, the characters all wander around with no real heed to each other (watching them just endlessly walk into each other, because one MUST go that way and the other MUST go the other way, almost never gets old), it's supposedly "huge" but, just like GTA4, is really a very linear game with lots of disparate locations spread very far apart with giant gaps of jobby all in-between, and the bugs... OH, the bugs... It's like no-one ever playtested the damn game.
So I rocked up my Platinum and sent it back. Horrible, horrible game.

Too little, too late. I do think it's funny, though.
I don't think it's too late, at least not for me. I'm on the last part of the main story and I'm having a pretty good time just running around with my combat shotgun and laser rifle.
