This part describes a portion of the game which I played while being particularly vexed in real life. I first wandered around and discovered many locations... none of which were really consequential. There was one radio tower that was broadcasting a help signal in a near-by sewer but it turns out the signal was pretty old and the people asking for help were already long dead. Their bones were all that remained... and loot of course.
I decided to continue with the water caravan quest, the second part of which, called The Amazing Aqua Cura, is to determine what a ghoul named Griffon is doing with fresh water. He had been purchasing fresh water from Scribe Bigsley who isn't supposed to sell the water nor give them to ghouls but needs the funding. So off I go to the Underworld for the first time. I knew this place existed from the start not only because Gob in Megaton mentions he has friends/"family" there but because I had watched quill18's Fallout 3 Bastard Edition LP in which he played through a small portion of the beginning being a complete ass. However, I had never tried to find this place or really gave it much of a thought during my LP.
Once there, Griffon is out in the entrance hall selling his Aqua Cura. He is telling a group of ghouls that this amazing Aqua Cura will reverse the effects of their ghoul mutation. I buy one from him and then tell him that my pipboy 3000 detects radiation in the water. Of course he's all blah blah that can't be right blah. Don't quite remember how the conversation went but I was soon off to his bottling facility where I discovered that he saves the Aqua Pura to sell to humans and sells slightly irradiated water to the ghouls. Basically I force him to tell the people the truth and he is mobbed and killed by them.
To sum up my activities in Underworld, I kill Greta with a silenced 10mm pistol while she's out on her break for Ahzrukhal's quest (the silenced pistol wasn't really needed but I hadn't known she'd be out alone on break so I actually went back to a hotel where I remembered seeing the silenced pistol to retrieve it) which earned me Charon. Of course Charon kills Ahzrukhal once I acquire him which immediately endeared him to me. So now I have Charon with me.
I meet Mister Crowley who asks me to kill some ghoul haters but it actually turns out that's not the case at all. He just wants the keys that they have. Long story short I tell him that I'm going to keep the keys myself and find Fort Constantine. Later I kill Mr. Crowley as well which made Winthrop come running in to
try to kill but but Charon gave him a shot to the head. Amazingly
enough, no one else seemed to have noticed a thing. Carol, who was just
in the room adjacent, didn't even hear a thing. I went and talked to her
and she just blathered on about Greta. I haven't actually gotten around to doing that yet but along the way of acquiring the keys I met some interesting people and found interesting places.... Such as the Republic of Dave. I'm not sure if the inhabitants are just crazy or what. I was tempted to kill Dave but decided to see where his voting farce goes. Unfortunately, my game must have bugged out or something because the last woman just refuses to vote. Just stands there at the voting booth looking dumb for days. Yes, I actually waited days for her to vote. So I just left figuring I'd come back and check on them at a later date. At Dukov's place I freed Cherry and then killed Dukov and the other girl. The guy at Rivet City was not interesting in the least.
Now, Tenpenny is the last person that I had to kill and he basically told me to go kill Mr. Crowley when I confronted him. Instead, as soon as I got my 100 caps up front I sliced him up with Jingwei's Shocksword which gained me Karma. This actually surprised me and now looking it up on Fallout 3 Wiki, it says Tenpenny is an evil character. Some how he never really came across as evil to me. A bit foolish, yes, but not evil. Anyhow, this next part is why I mentioned that I was particularly vexed while playing... because upon exiting Tenpenny's suite I saved up, turned on Galaxy News Radio, and proceeded to butcher everyone in Tenpenny Tower... with Jingwei's Shocksword. After the massacre was over I gave Charon two bullets in the head. Then I headed over to Megaton. Yep. First person I visited was Moira. She got a shocksword to the face. Then all of Megaton's inhabitants were shot down, one by one. All but the children who I cannot kill... and Gob. At first I meant to kill Gob too but the bugger was so darn quick he kept going in and out of buildings and running all over the place. I said, touché, Gob... touché. After achieving the satisfying karma level of "Very Evil" and the title of the "Devil" I finally reloaded back to the save I made after killing Tenpenny. After all, killing all those people wasn't exactly what I wanted to happen. It was just a very fun stress relieving activity.
