In Boneyard you'll have to sneak past the Deathclaws to pick up the parts. If you haven't blow up the Military Base, then do the Brotherhood scouting quest. That means you should turn the power using Zax, not the terminal near the generator. Do the Glow quest, but don't forget to disable the security bots right after turning on primary power. But don't forget to pick up the robes from the hospital in the Hub before going to Necropolis. After you repair the pump and get the water chip, optionally talk to Harry to get to the Military Base and blow it up using the scientific approach.

Sneak past ghouls and rats (the third hard point). To do the missing caravans quest, sneak along the northern cave wall to speak to the mutant without the Deathclaw noticing. The cops will do their job of keeping the peace and everybody's happy, including the prisoner. Hide behind them and as soon as thugs accidentally hit one of them, run away. Just run away to the nearby cops for help. Killian leaves Gizmo alone for some reason, but that's his problem. Take Gizmo's quest to kill Killian, then go to Killian to get the quest to collect evidence on Gizmo. If you think that's silly, imagine your character cutting the tail with a knife then running away quickly. Get back, go to radscorpion caves, steal a tail (!) from any radscorpion, then blow up the cave entrance. Go to Vault 15 and sneak through it (first difficult point, especially without silent running). Don't get Dogmeat, ditch all other followers after recruiting them. Even the power armour gives you +75 carry weight while weighing 85 pounds, unlike Fallout 2. Develop Science and Repair in addition to the tagged skills (books help, and your Good Natured trait makes them cheaper). Take Pickpocket if you wish or Bonus Move to make running away in combat mode easier. Forget about other perks, you don't need them all. When you reach level 3 don't take a perk until you have a couple of Buffouts. Set strength and endurance to 2, perception to 7, everything else to 9. Hell, I didn't think it would be this easy!
