You can use very common hunting rifles to repair it.

Like my Waser Wifle can user regular Laser Rifles to repair.

Finally buckwheat makes it to the big time ... who would av tought.

Seriously i'll have to try it, i have been keeping everything i find in the game in my house until i actually need cash, with over 5k worth of cash, i have just been storing hunting rifles pretty much (off the super mutants). Which reminds me, what in the world do i spend cash on in the world. Don't need ammunition too much, i've bought m;y theme (science) and the workbench and science lab (the infirmary seems kinda counter productive considering 50 radaways i have. What else is there?

Also, and this may be a spoiler so i don't need details, but is there anything i need the mininuke for. Also are there a heck of a lot schematics around. I got schemetics for 5 things, but 100s of misc items.

outside of those big super mutants

Well...

[sblock="Who's yer daddy?"]
In the bottom of the Deathclaw Sanctuary, there is a pool of blood...you will find a pretty interesting weapon, Vengeance, gatling laser does double usual damage....it slaughters things!!!

ALso, if you find the 5 KELLER holotapes aorund the map, they unlock a cache in the National Guard Armoury...a super Fatman launcher
not got it yet, is it magazine fed, or does it really fire 8 shots at once?

Ever seen "Split Second" ?
"We need some big, big, BIG ****** GUNS!"
"Hallelujah!"

muhaha ;)

Lincoln's Repeater is my headshot gun of choice...I like it even more than the Reservist's Rifle (named sniper rifle) because it carries more ammo at a time, and does more damage.

Plus, sniper rifles and .308 ammo is fairly uncommon, so it's tough to keep them maintained and with adequate shots.

[Sblock=More uniques:]Smuggler's End - Laser Pistol that does 19 damage fully repaired. Elder Lyons' wall safe (which is NOT stealing for some reason) in the Citadel.

Reservist's Rifle - Sniper Rifle that does much better damage, but only carries 3 rounds per clip. A crazy Oasis guy has it in a Chapel not far from the satellite towers in the northwestern area of the map.

Sydney's Ultra 10mm SMG - The relic hunter you can team up with in the National Archive has a SWEET customized SMG. To get it, you must either let her die, kill her, or encounter the corpse of her father in the Reilly's Ranger quest. Explore the hotel thoroughly and you'll see a skeleton on a bed with an audio log beside it. That's her dad. After you finish the National Archive, Sydney will trust you enough to open up and tell you about her father abandoning her. Give her the log. She'll be grateful, and decide to leave the merc biz behind, and give you her gun plus some ammo for it. This gets you good karma. If you don't find her dad before finishing the National Archive, it's okay. She goes to the Underworld to hang out. You can bring the audio log to her there for the same result.[/sblock]

There are a LOT of really cool little side stories and non-quest goodies. Here's a few:

[sblock=Fun Side Things]Southwest corner, not far from Girdershade, look for the Dunwich building. Check it out, and be sure to explore all of it. Creepy and fun!

Also in the southwest, though not as far west, is Andale. This place was just awesome, mainly because it's so low key. Once you figure out what's going on there though, you'll get the screaming meemies! Gloriously dark.

Hubris Comics, in the south side of the DC Ruins. A weird detour, but has good loot, a weirdly entertaining text adventure minigame, and a crazy dude with a minigun.

There's an old Armory in the northeast that's -heavily- guarded by raiders, but is swimming in good loot if you can get past them. Be good at hacking and/or lockpicking, as the main armory room is still sealed. Be warned the raiders are well armed, including one with a missile launcher.

There's a ruined car factory north of the DC ruins that is infested with giant ants. There's a queen in the assembly line area...a tough fight, but great exp. You get ant pheremones from her, which can be useful in a side plot in Rivet City.

...I could go on like this forever. There's an -astonishing- amount of content in this game![/sblock]

For creepyness, visit Vault 108, just south of Canterbury Commons. For some reason that place has scared me the most so far. And yeah, I mean 108, not 106. 106 was lame compared to that.
 


Are Deathclaws easy to kill? Encountered one while trailing an Outcast patrol. The pair in their armor got easily shredded by it but managed to weaken it for me to finish the creature.

Besides Rad Regeneration and Hemo ... the one where you can use blood pack like purified water for healing oneself ... what other bonus perks out there?

They are by far the second toughest enemies in the game. Under lvl 10, you are more propable to die than win against one. But finding good sniping points, or getting sneak critical can enhance your chaces significantly.

[sblock=Very Minor Spoilers]hmm. You get a perk that increases either your str or per from one quest. There's the power armor training perk that you get once you get far enough to the MQ. You can get a perk that mutates your skin tougher giving you DR 5. There's others but I can't remember them right now.[/sblock]
 

There's the perk you get from finishing the Wasteland Survival Guide.

The specific bonuses from it depend on how well you do in getting info during the quests, as well as how well you answer her questions.

Hmm...

I'm sure there's more.
 

If that one spoiler for the name of the relic hunter is any indication, I am guessing that Fallout 3 continues the tradition of being rife with pop culture references?
