If you do Moira's quest completely first you screw up a few side quests and even your main quest.

Moira's quests have you go to areas before you really should and do things that may skip other quests. The best example is if you do her quest to go to Rivet City and Talk to everyone in that town, you are very likely to accidentally skip a fair chunk of the main quest by talking to someone you weren't supposed to interact with until much later.

Oh hey, before I forget. Here's a thread with the info on how to get both houses fully, as in, you can actually use themes with both of them. If you don't use the console method, you can get the key for Tenpenny place without the console; but you won't have the necessary gameflags for the themes and whatnot to work with it.

That happened to me. Did I really miss out on anything that important ? I belive the "find galaxy radio" quest was the one that moira's quest runined for me. There might have been another quest one that became blacked out too, cant be sure without checking.
haha good thing i lied on that 1 lol. I am so poor and scrounging ammo.
you can still go do the quest, they've taken into account with the responses from that quest.. its a good quest i recommend doing it (if nothing more than to do the first fight)

yea, i just noticed that my 'find galaxy radio' quest is no longer available, although it looks as though its completed. i just went and did the vault 112 quest and found dad. managed to skip the marriage break-up with the people in the tranquility chambers so i wouldn't lose any karma.... but somehow unleashing a chinese death squad and murdering everyone in the town gives you positive karma? eh?
was wondering if i missed anything important in this town. noticed that there was a desk in the basement of one of the houses that seems like you could have used it for something. put something on top of it i think was the unavailable option.
another thing, ive already been to rivet city (since i finished moira's quest) and not sure if i should follow my dad all the way there from vault 112, or just quicktravel. its a really long distance accross the map. any important quests or cool things im going to miss out on as a result of moiras dumb-ass quest breaking quests?
also, why is galaxy radio not available to listen to anymore? ive seen some things on the fo3 boards here talking about a dish. im guessing i have to goto galaxy radio station and talk to some people or fix the dish or something? hopefully ill get to meet not 1, not 2, but 3-Dog. woof woof woof.

You get positive Karma for putting the people out of their misery and making the evil Dr. who tortured them for 200+ years spend eternity alone.
You use it to break up the marriage.
He will give you the quest and explain what you need to do.
Oh yeah...I forgot all about the Galaxy Radio quest that just disappeared. Where is that location anyway? I figure I'll go there and check it out anyway.
Oh, back to the easy money methods - The Nuka Cola Challenge and Pre-War Books quests have made me rich. Both of those pay a ton and they don't start slacking off with the amount they give you over time. The Scrap Metal and Sugar Bombs quests are nice at first...but after a few deliveries, you start making almost nothing.
There are a buttload of Nuka Colas in the world (if you complete the quest you'll have roughly 3K) and probably even more Pre-War books laying around.

One other thing you can mess up or just lose a little bit if you do Moira's things completely is Arkansas who is the sniper in Minefield. He's one of the subjects for enslavement to get into paradise falls (but there are 3 others) so it's very minor. It just sucks because he's the least useful character for the game and the one you don't really need to have around so he's the best target for enslavement. Susan Lancaster has some interesting interactions in Tenpenny (there's an affair with another woman's husband and she goes into a murderous rage) and Red and Flak are both managing stores in the game.
I stumbled upon Vault 112 in my game by accident even before I finished Galaxy News or even discovered Rivet City. I'm guessing I should reload and not find Vault 112 yet?
Finally, the stupid Lucas Simms...I saved his life from Burke but one day I came back to Megaton and he's floating face down in the radioactive pool of water where the nuke crater is. I wonder what happened to him.

Fell off a bridge probably. it happens.
Well, after doing a little research, I guess you can still complete Galaxy Radio after heading to Rivet City. The quest and achievement (rewards, too...achivements included for XBL users) are all still there, the game just sees them as no longer being necessary.
Bethesda's completely open world can be a blessing and a curse. I, too, have seen random deaths for important people.
There's a trader named "Doc" that had quite the stash that mysteriously died near the Antagonizer's lair for me. I never saw him alive, but his corpse had everything from a Nuka Bomb recipe to $400 in caps on it.

Things that help is
Repair, get it leveled up, you go in somewhere pick up a few of the same armour or guns and repaired them into one that's worth a lot more, sometimes selling a few independent is worth more but you get the convenience of less trips back to get some stuff.
Barter get it up
Sell the pharmaceuticals cough "drugs", don't need to use em rarely
kill raiders for ammo and gear, sell unwanted stuff.
Don't buy weapons, half time you will find better stuff out there for free.

I'm also pretty short on caps, and I can't imagine why you'd want to spend so much decorating your house.
LOL at buying the schematic for the Rock It launcher. I just killed one of the vendors for it just outside Megaton.
There are always more vendors around and he only sold crap anyway. I think those were his words too.

Too bad there's only 4 of them and now you can't upgrade their wares before killing them (at Canterbury Commons).

Make sure you kill their cows too they carry more shit.
The cows will actually go to and from the different merchant locations if you don't kill them. My mysterious "doc" merchant that I never saw alive has a cow that appears with a full load in front of a few locations. Once you take the good stuff off of it, they don't come back...but the junk food items seem to regenerate.

Ah shit. I knew there's always some consequence.
Basically at one point, you get to "invest" in the caravan business and then the 4 caravan merchants that go around the map have better wares (including power armor) and also the junk vendor gets his repair skill to 75 so he can repair everything you have.
Whoops. Where do you do that? Chances are I've killed everyone there already anyway.
The doc in Megaton? I killed him a long time ago.
My only "allies" as of yet are the metal armor guys that kill the super mutants.

No, there's a traveling saleman who peddles meds. Since I'm a good guy I haven't killed anyone unless they deserved it. However, I have no problems enslaving raiders to make a cool 250 caps each.
I kill everyone. I mined Rivet city, but most people can't die there.
There are only like 3 or 4 people that cant die there and once you finish the android quest im pretty sure its only the 1 that cant die.
Nope - Flak, shrapnel, Hammerstein, Dr. Li, The surgeon are what I remember, and the problem is flak/shrapnel and hammerwhatshisface will follow you around shooting at you forever since they recover in 3-5 seconds after being knocked out.
I forgot about a couple because i sent flak into slavery and halfway throught the game dr. Li leaves rivet city. I dont know who hammerwhatshisface is but if its the main security dude he will be gone if you complete the android quest for the commonwealth.

I've read that the schematics stack for bonuses, so you want to get as many as possible.
From GameFAQs:
1 Schematic: Condition is 50% of your Repair skill
2 Schematics: Condition is equal to your Repair skill
3 Schematics: Condition is 125% of your Repair skill (up to 100%)
