But many players missed out on the opportunity to have their very own island fortress. In order to unlock this settlement, the player will need to find the half-sunken boat nearby and flip a switch inside, waking up a Mirelurk Queen that will need to be taken care of. Get her highness out of the picture and you’re rewarded with the largest settlement in the game, the perfect place to stash your gear, kick back, and watch the sunset.

#8: Agatha’s Song
“Fallout 3” (2008) The Capital Wasteland isn’t a particularly cheery place, and some more music would go a long way to liven things up. To this end, the player can elect to help an old woman named Agatha retrieve a precious violin so that she can broadcast live music. Easier said than done though. The player will need to find and infiltrate Vault 92, which was used to house the world’s greatest musicians and, because Vault-Tec, expose them to subliminal noise to try and create more aggressive soldiers. Surprisingly, that plan backfired and you must fight your way through the Vault, find the violin, all so that the Capital Wasteland will get a new radio station.

But do a little snooping around and you’ll discover that the residents of the town are a little less “Leave it to Beaver” and a bit more “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” than they initially seemed. And if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.
