I went there to get the eggs as part of the Bleed Me Dry quest. I actually only killed one deathclaw, then used a Stealth Boy to sneak in, grab the eggs, and sneak out again.

Naturally, Red Lucy was suitably impressed and rewarded this brave hunter appropriately. Of course, she doesn't need to know what actually happened... :whistling:

I use Project Nevada, which means that with my Shocktrooper playstyle the Deathclaws are something I just can't beat. I got the eggs for Lucy from the cave, using Fat Man to take out the biggest D-Claws Three rapid fire nukes, got hurt a bit, three crippled limbs and 2HP, but nothing left of the Deathclaws!

Alien Blaster at level 5 helps a lot

I'll take that as a compliment for the Enclave.

I dont even bother looting Legion bodies unless they are assassins.

Im sure if Julius Caesar saw the so called "Caesar's Legion" he would be greatly disappointed.

I grabbed some stealth armor ( mod ) and my trusty AMR and picked 'em off one by one, all headshots.

I did the multiple companion glitch and gave each companion a powerful melee weapon, like the super sledge.

Then, armed with the Liberator, I charged into the Quarry with my comrades yelling," THIS IS SPARTA!"


...We got our asses kicked.

I snipe them at night. They die before they ever see me.

Usually I sneak up onto that big mining rig in the middle of the quarry, and then pop each deathclaw with a .50 cal round. But more recently I decided to try a new method: I placed a [censored] ton of mines (including fat mines) near the entrance of the quarry, then I get up on one of the rock ledges and entice some deathclaws over to my trap. It was a pretty cool explosion, but only 3 deathclaws were in the radius of it when it went off, so I'll have to revise this strategy a bit.

I've never done well with melee weapons, even when wearing remnants PA I get killed every time by the alpha male or den mother.

I used the old Varmint Rifle that Sunny Smiles gave to me and I was really counting on the Mysterious Stranger but he never showed up. I got mine kicked too.

Troll Stranger; appears when your owning low level creatures, ditches you when a Deathclaw is right on your behind.

While it may sound odd due to my Autumnist loyalties, I disagree. Eden is a machine, it thinks like a machine. Eden's second-in-charge just broke up with him. There is this vault dweller, eyes shining and asking for opportunity to help the United States. Why not have him? The Lone Wanderer is able, not affiliated with the Brotherhood (so far), can help Eden complete his plan and is the only one able to do it. If Eden just wanted he could have anyone do it, Eden apparently has little value over the lives of his subordinates if there are bigger things at stake.

Having the Lone Wanderer as his confidant would have made Eden a very powerful player, like Mr. House if Courier sides with him. We have a superintelligent interface in both situations, unable to conduct things physically and only thing they control is a handful of robots. So they need a bit of flesh and there is a loyal stranger ready and able to deliver.


The Enclave is a harsh faction, but it's necessary in the post-apocalyptic Wasteland where humanity and mutants alike have proven that only true brutality is the only way to enforce long term stability.
As President Richardson (appeared in Fallout 2) puts it, "The United States does still exist. God bless us, every one. We've just had to adapt in order to survive after the war."

Many claim the Enclave, especially its genocide, is insane and impractical. While I agree that it's too excessive as the Wasteland isn't as harsh as the Enclave believes, but I agree that it's a foolproof plan. Quoting Richardson again, "I assure you, I'm quite sane, as is everyone on the Project. We're dedicated to the salvation of the human race. You can call single-minded dedication to a cause madness, I suppose, but if so, it's divine madness."
The Enclave has gone through trials by fire and it does no longer exist as a major faction. It does, however, still exist and I hope we will hear of them in future Fallout games. If Fallout timeline keeps taking leaps of decades between games as has been the habit, we will eventually see the Enclave in its full glory one day, as long as there are Fallout games coming and the anarchy persists.

I don't doubt that this is a possibilty, I agree that Eden certainly recognized the immense potential that could be reaped with the LW as an ally of the Enclave.

But I'm simply suggesting that Eden is quite capable of subterfuge. He's being playing out an entire operation in opposition to Autumn for quite some time after all. It's not unreasonable to suggest that he'd get rid of the LW once the deed was done.

He also may still want Autumn as his confidant, given how Autumn does still have a hard-line loyalty to him. Its hard to say really. It seems to me that Autumn and Eden don't necessarily want to "go their seperate ways" as it were. Its just Autumn is trying to convince Eden that his plan is the right one, and Eden (to me) seems to be doing the same thing with Autumn. It is a complicated matter to be sure.

Are you surprised? The B.O.S. are a bunch of dumb asses.

I hit the console and used the "kill" command on him. Bastaed doesn't drop his gun. Had to add it by console too.

i lol'd at OP comment, ty that was fun reading. Myself i usualy go in alone with a hunting shotgun and a brush gun. I knotch them on their hindend with the shotgun and while they on they back i go at them with the brush. Mama and daddy, i usually lay a bunch of landmines and poke them and run liek hell.

anabelle dude

I get my trusty bursh gun walk in and just start shooting them down.

I took a assault carbine to their face

-Cheers

I usually clear Quarry Junction with the Gobi or Christine's Silencer Rifle. Just a lot of Sneak Attack Critical Headshots.

However, I had one character who cleared it with just the Tesla-Beaton prototype and another who did it with a Police Pistol.

Any advice for doing it with Unarmed weapons and mines? I've got a DID character who doesn't technically HAVE to go there, but I want to at some point.

-Nukeknockout

I ran in there with a rolling pin..... i came out with no head :sadvaultboy:

Then i reloaded to avenge my death with a hellfire barrage from my fatman! :celebration:

It seems like everyone's land mines do more damage than mine.

Good stuff guys, seems like most people took a approach that was more in your face than mine.

Hey, Devil, greatest name ever. If I ever start a sports Franchise, that's what it is...

lol thanks. Eh my mines dont really do any dmg to their health per say, more to thier limbs, when they are just casually slow-mo walking to you thier big bodies makes it to where its hard as hell to miss them unless u see a SQUIRELL!
