I'm pissed because they are I think 2 or so "one chance only" bobbleheads, and I think I missed both of them. And as much as I love this game, I'm so far into it I dunno if I can bring myself to start over.

I put about 70 hours into my game. I keep on finding spots where I say 'meh, that'll be on my next playthrough', so I'm sure I'll have good reason to start over.
I have 6 bobbleheads, the strength, medical, science, speech, barter and perception ones. I'm going to try and get them all tonight.
Also, since you killed all the slavers, you won't be able to do the Strictly Business quest. I only did it for an achievement, but it was enough to bring me from Very Good karma to Neutral Karma. Thank God for the Lawbringer perk, I got back to Good.

I did. . . as soon as I opened the childrens pen and talked to the little black girl I was given the Strictly Biz quest. . . she told me she was going outside and that I should stop and talk to her when I get done in P. Falls. . . when I talked to her outside she said she was going back to Little Lamp Light, and the quest was completed.

So, I kind of.. killed Moira. Where's the best place for weapons now? I'm just starting this game, by the way.

That's weird, when I killed the guard all the slavers became hostile towards me and somebody killed the kids. I laughed a bit but it sucked having to restart.

So, I kind of.. killed Moira. Where's the best place for weapons now? I'm just starting this game, by the way. There are a couple of places. Moira didn't have the best weapons anyways. There's Flak 'n Shrapnel at Rivet City, the wandering traders (roving traders as they're called in the game) sell some good stuff time to time, the weapons depot at The Citadel has some of the best weapons, and the weapons depot at Paradise Falls has some good stuff if you help the guy out in a minor quest. With the exception of roving traders and maybe Flak 'n Shrapnel, you probably won't see any of the previously mentioned weapon dealers about well into 20 hours of gameplay.

What's the easiest way to kill and not lose karma?

It depends. If you have a follower you could try to injure the person without killing them and your follower will finish the job. You won't lose or gain karma, but you won't gain XP either.
I just hit level 20, it's kind of sad that you can't get any farther than that. I guess I'm forced to start me second playthrough now as an evil guy.

TBH, I really dont like this game as much as I thought I would. I liked Oblivion alot more. I just dont like that its a nuclear wasteland. i like the idea, but how its exicuted. Everything looks the same and travelinggets boring. Really the only thing I like so far is the dialog and the VATS, but theres so few people to chat with that you cant use the dialog, hopefully it gets better as I go along because at the moment its getting really repetitive.

I beat this game yesterday. Loved it. Put 55 hours into it, did every quest but Wasteland survival guide. Got over 700 ach. points in it. Such a great game.

I probably put over 100 hours into this game. I finished my first playthrough, where I got 750 ach. points and 77 hours, now I'm starting again but with bad karma, and I've already put around 20 hours into that one (I started bad but decided to be good). I love this game. It's truly one of my favorite games this generation, maybe even last gen in terms of how long I spent with the game.

Part of me still wants to get this, but the other part doesn't. I'm still not sure. I read good things about it that gets me hyped, but then I read about that it gets boring and repetitive and that they liked Oblivion better which I actually disliked and I lose all motivation. BAHH!

Well, it's unanimous that you need to put time in this game, no matter what. The people saying that are about an hour into the gameplay, there's still a lot of time to develop interest in it. Coming from somebody who hated Oblivion and hates most other 'search rpgs', I love this game.

Well I just started the game and so far it had the best market place, and it's hell of a lot better than Megaton. Only problem is that it was a bitch to get to. Is there something I should know about Rivet?

Well, once you get to Tenpenny Tower you'll probably think Rivet City is horrible. I'd say Tenpenny Tower is the closest thing to an actual pre-war city that you can find.

Do I need to do anything before getting Fawkes? And where exactly is Vault 87?

Don't worry about Fawkes, you'll meet him sooner or later (you'll have no choice) during the main quests. Minor spoiler: The main quest requires you to go to Vault 87. You don't need much, just good karma.
I'm having fun with the Experimental MIRV, though I wish I could make an explosion as big as the one in Megaton was. :<
