I just started Fallout 3. I've never played it (or anything like it) before.
Preface: I bought this on Steam, got no owner's manual, and went into it knowing very little about gameplay.
I had recently found my way to Megaton and was trying to explore and talk to the NPCs. I was recently tasked with detonating the bomb intentionally (by Mr. Burke), and ended up telling the Sheriff that I got the detonator from him. When I followed the Sheriff into Moriarty's Saloon, Burke pulled a pistol and capped the Sheriff--which pissed me off, so I pulled out a baseball bat and dropped Mr. Burke.
I went to load my last saved game (from yesterday), and it doesn't exist. I have an initial save from when I exited the Vault, and an autosave after the carnage. That's it.
Now I'm truly screwed, because in my anger at the game's save system, I've killed all the NPCs in Moriarty's, and the city's hell bent on killing me.
Soo.. am I completely screwed? Anyone else get boned this way?
