Once you get over the initial hump this game is easy as fuck. Don't bother saving anything. Kill everything you encounter in the most hilarious and dramatic way possible.

Agreed. Immediately after the original post I got over the hump and instead of feeling nervous about encounters, I now don't give an eff. This lead to a 9 hour Fallout 3 marathon. I was even following your no-saving advice and being all "damn the consequences" but then I got stuck in a Megaton dweller apartment and that gave me a bit of a scare BUT since I have auto-saving turned on, I often accidentally damn the consequences even when I want to go back and reload to avoid consequences.

Exhibit A (also Exhibit A for hilarious and dramatic):

Dukov

This whole scene in "Dukov's Place" really pissed me off. First, all of my conversation options have me acting outraged over the two women wearing nothing but lingerie. I'm surprised one conversation choice wasn't to apologize for seeing Hannelore's breast. It's especially jarring as I've met about four actual whore NPCs by that point, including one that I paid to sleep with (although in Fallout 3 that means literal sleeping!) and half of the Raider chicks are in bikinis. Oh yeah and IT'S THE END OF THE FUCKING WORLD. Not only does my character have the vapours about their nighties, but then he gets all judgmental and wants them to admit they're whores because they swap sex for protection. Suddenly my character who murdered and stole his way over here is up on his high horse, wearing a suit made of human flesh. And the high horse is probably made of some sort of flesh too.

The game could sense that I wasn't roleplaying the dialog tree very well and made me fail the Cherry recruitment (repeatedly). The final straw was both of the chicks telling me, over and over, how amazing Dukov was with a gun. Man, he's a crack shot! DON'T MESS WITH HIM. Then he flaunts his confidence by turning his back to me and looking out over the second floor railing...

When I dismantled all of his limbs with one shot, the girls weren't even impressed! They cowered and ran! So then I sewed the sleeves back onto his pajamas, wore them, and split. I might've killed the two whores too, I can't EVEN remember. I couldn't find anything else to do in the mansion, and began to think that maybe I should've have just killed everyone. A pang of guilt. But right as the pang hit, I also hit E and exited the building, auto-saving. Oh well, let's not dwell on the past!

Anywayz as fun as it is to be overpowered, I do sort of miss those early days where I really felt like an apocalyptic scavenger, excited by every metal chest, barely scrapping by...

Caveat: I'm pretty sure that there are a limited number of mini nukes, but there aren't any enemies that require them so it's not really a big deal.

My first mini-nuke at the Super Mutant Behemoth missed, and by the time I had put enough distance between him and I for a second shot (via ridiculous Benny Hill circuitous running), the Behemoth was almost dead from the Brotherhood lasers alone! That didn't stop me from using the Fat Man of course.
