It is above ground but to access it you have to go through the metro's.
Check your pip-boy notes, you should have which metros you need to travel.
It will help if you put a marker on GNR's place on your pipboy map.

Note the antenna - it can be seen from a lot of places.

Edit -- oh and be sure you have a couple of very very good weapons before you get there... as soon as you exit in front of GNR you're in for a very nice surprise........

This game is so addictive that i play it through a second time now exploring everything there is on the map and without skill and level cap..

Grr. Keeps crashing for me. Just finished the Galaxy News Radio Quest, fast travel to Megaton, then Vault 101 (I hear there's a quest there I need to do). Walk a few steps, crash. Latest patch...

I had a crashing problem as soon as I left vault 101. What graphics settings are you on? many people have found that simply turning off aa got rid of their crashes. For me I had to turn settings down to medium for crash free game play. My system is a bit better than yours, so maybe try turning down your settings.

Since then I have slowly raised some settings back up, it's stable but occassionally I get shuddering looking at some scenes.

Tye

im so hooked on this game, its amazing!

I haven't played it for 2-3 weeks. It's not as addicting as, say, Oblivion.

 

[farlex85]

Finished it once, really lost steam for me at the end, I'm not really sure why, but the nature of it became old after a while to me, I think b/c I invested so much time in Oblivion. The story was not nearly as good as I was hoping too, somewhat nonsensical melodrama. Still a great game though, I'm waiting on a healthy bit of mods before going again, this time down the evil path. Muhaha!

 

[FordGT90Concept]

I beat it twice (good and evil). I started a third game but never returned to it after leaving Megaton.

I prefer the Riley's Ranger armor. It has multiple bonuses, including of which to small guns, and weighs less(think it looks better too).

The agility loss on the power armor series isn't worth the +2 in strength.


If you're going for the most exotic looking gear, then the Enclave/Tesla stuff would be your best bet.

I use Combat Armor -> Riley's Ranger armor (repaired with Combat Armor) -> Tesla armor

where is the guy that is suppose to train me to use my power armor?

The brother hood base. If you haven't been there yet you can enter until a certain point in the game.

If you are in the Citadel, ask around.
If you're not yet in the Citadel... there's no way you can enter until you arrive at a certain point in the main quest.

 

[Braveheart]

i went to citadel, they were all like "you are not allowed here, please be on your way", oh well I'll try again after i finish lucy's letter and talk to three dog again.

LOL!!!

The Citadel is inaccessible until you complete The Waters of Life segment of the main quest. Entry is scripted as part of the completion of this quest.

It is possible to enter the Citadel by glitching into a pile of rubble to the northwest of the Citadel. This is an effective way to unlock the Power Armor Training at an early point in the game. Although various NPC's in the Citadel, when talked to, will tell you events that might not have happened yet due to the PC not completing the main quest segment The Waters of Life.

Curious...

A fix for the crashes - disable your page file. Fixed it for me. Still get the occasional crash, but I no longer have to shut down to get it working again.

 

[Braveheart]

ok this is weird, im suppose to talk to doctor Li about project Purity and dad...i did and the quest is still active and uncompleted...its like its stuck.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Is the compass pointing you to a specific person? There's probably a specific dialog you have to activite with that person to proceed.

 

[Braveheart]

i finished it, the last big fight when attacking the project purity place, it was sweet.

[CDdude55]

Going to get it for Xbox 360 pretty soon.

 

[AphexDreamer]

Hey guys I edited my .ini file to have a larger view distnace which ended up killing my FPS and causing the game to crash every few seconds.

Thing is when I put it all back to default my save game won't load at all.

Is there a fix to this? Or am I just screwed.

 

[ste2425]

guys does the pip-boy thing work fine for you? what do you do to load it up nd more importntly what do you do to close it again? theres no mention of it in the manual
