On this, my 3rd playthrough, I finally got the 'We Need Help!" message from Amata. I actually went to the radio as I was preparing to do The Pitt and noticed a message from the Vault 101 system.

Anyway, I get there and was tearing my hair out. I could not TALK to anyone. Everyone had the SAME THREE DIALOGUE OPTIONS!

- What happened here?

- Tell me about the rebels.

- I gotta go.

WTF? Where is the option for trying to actually talk to them? Explain and "prove" what happened and who is actually behind their predicament?

Anyway, I made it though and even avoided killing the Overseer, though I really, really wanted to. He just is not worth the air he breathes, the water he drinks, nor the space he occupies, in my mind.

This whole experience was really lame, in my opinion.

Did others have better luck with this?
