Doesn't Play Well with Others: Killed 300 people. - 20G
This one's fairly self-explanatory, although it'll probably take you quite a while to get it if you're playing as a good character. Of course, you could always save it and go on some killing sprees...
Slayer of Beasts: Killed 300 creatures. - 20G
Like the one above, this one's pretty self-explanatory. Basically, if it's anything other than a human, it'll count. That includes Ghouls!
Silver-Tongued Devil: Won 50 Speech Challenges. - 20G
You'll have to work pretty hard at this one, as it's tough to win a lot of them without a high Speech skill. If you save often, you can always reload the game and retry them until you succeed. Also, wearing apparel that boosts your skill helps a lot.
Data Miner: Hacked 50 terminals. - 20G
As was the case with the Silver-Tongued Devil achievement, you'll need to focus on building up your Science skill and doing whatever you can to boost your core attributes. Also, don't be afraid to hack into terminals that turn your reticule red, as you won't get busted unless someone sees you.
Keys are for Cowards: Picked 50 locks. - 20G
Again, you need to start gunning for this one early, as it's not an easy achievement to get if you don't put at least some of your experience points into the Lockpicking skill. You can also pick locks without getting in trouble as long as you don't take anything that's inside whatever you're breaking into.
One-Man Scouting Party: Discovered 100 locations. - 20G
While you could get this achievement simply by spending hours and hours wandering the Wasteland, there's an easier way. Once you hit level 20 (you are going to play until you hit 20, right?), you can select the Explorer perk, which puts every location in the game on you Pip-Boy. All you need to do is walk around to eventually get this one.
Yes, I Play with Dolls: Collected 10 Vault-Tec Bobbleheads. - 10G
Vault-Tec C.E.O.: Collected 20 Vault-Tec Bobbleheads. - 30G
Each one of the 20 bobbleheads in the game will boost whichever skill it represents, so there's a good reason to search them out. The first one you come across is in your Dad's laboratory, so be sure to grab it on the way out of the Vault! While that one is important to completing the latter achievement, the most vital one is found in Lucas Simms' house in Megaton. If you decide to blow up the town, you're S.O.L. for the rest of the game... something I unfortunately found out the hard way. Looks like I might be stuck on 970 points for quite some time!
Reaver: Reached Level 8 with Bad Karma. - 10G
Mercenary: Reached Level 8 with Neutral Karma. - 10G
Protector: Reached Level 8 with Good Karma. - 10G
Harbinger of War: Reached Level 14 with Bad Karma. - 20G
Pinnacle of Survival: Reached Level 14 with Neutral Karma. - 20G
Ambassador of Peace: Reached Level 14 with Good Karma. - 20G
Scourge of Humanity: Reached Level 20 with Bad Karma. - 30G
Paradigm of Humanity: Reached Level 20 with Neutral Karma. - 30G
Last, Best Hope of Humanity: Reached Level 20 with Good Karma. - 30G
Alright, this is where things get a little bit sketchy. While you could get each of these achievements by playing through the entire game three times and focusing on a particular karmic alignment, that would take a very long time. We know that you're busy people with busy lives, so we wanted to offer you an alternative. When playing through Fallout 3 for the first time, save your game multiple times while you're at levels 7, 13, and 19. Once you hit the level needed to unlock the achievement, save again and reload your game to a previous save. From there, you can replay for a little while, doing whatever it takes to change your karma.
The most painless way to do this is to play through the game as a good character, since it's much easier to quickly lower your karma by murdering innocents than it is to be nice to them. Also, killing innocent people in cold blood won't give you any XP, so you don't have to worry about inadvertently leveling up too early. Once you hit the karma level that you desire, start gunning down any guards or soldiers that are trying to save their helpless flock. Best of all, you can tell your unsuspecting friends that you've already beaten the game three times!
We hope that this achievement guide has helped you on your way to Gamerscore glory. Also, we welcome any suggestions about how to get these faster or easier, so drop a comment or send us an email if you've got any good tips or tricks!
