Geckos are west coast only I guess, since they show up in FNV.
Some bug about in game console I think. Dunno if you have to write something random or fixed.

I suspect game throttles loot to give ammo to the guns you use and give more Fusion Cores if you are wearing power armor.

Early game, look for machines like the one you get your first core from. Later, Cores drop increasingly often from robotic enemies and containers, especially (as I suspect) if you wear AP.
Also - get Int8 perk to double Core life. But then make sure you have grenade equipped, because otherwise grenade button will detonate your core.

Found four on some random lady in a building. Had to recheck my inventory to make sure I hadn't mistaken Fusion Cells for Cores. Nope. Four fresh, 100% Fusion Cores.
While this guy has several good points, there was an indication in Concord that something bad was on its way. I know she's hard to listen to or take seriously but Mama Murphy all but flat out tells you what's in store. Something drawn to the chaos and noise, with horns and claws and an aura of death. Anyone who has ever played a Fallout should hear that description and curse at low levels. And if you duck into Concord's underground access (there are several entrances spread across town) you can figure out the path it took. Complete with busted down walls and gutted Mirelurks.

No, she makes complete sense once you realize she was created as a thin shell over the next generation of hand holding.
Quest-compass, location bar at the bottom of the screen, directions (though depressingly vague), and chit-chat between nearby NPCs not enough to clue you in? Get Mama high and she'll tell you the loose framework of your next couple quests and the story attached to them. I finally gave her some Jet because she wouldn't stop whining and really wish I hadn't. Now she spends her days on the farthest outskirt of Sanctuary tending a garden made just to keep her busy. No I'm not building you a chair, leave me alone.

I have moved my HQ to http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Oberland_station after a while, because it's in the middle of the map. Also, it's small, so slacking serfs are easy to locate. And no whiny Preston pals.

People spewing bullshit while they're high is not really nonsensical, especially in Fallout, what's nonsensical is that we are expected to believe she's saying the truth. I wish Bethesda could allow you to lie to people and vice versa.
What exactly was bad about three dog anyway? I've always seen people bashing him, but never an actual argument.

A Raider boss believes she foretold his entire life, to the point that once he achieved power he spent his time tinkering with drugs and people in various combinations trying to replicate it. When news arrived that someone matching her description was passing by he flipped his shit. Pretty sure he's the reason Preston's group got separated from the three Minutemen you find dead in the Super Mart.
Edit: Though you could argue that most of his 'proof' was actually a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Mostly because he's annoying, and also because of that horrid "fighting the good fight" Intelligence check. But what's worse for me is that he's just another karma meter, if you do good, he's happy with you, but if you're not, he scolds you.
Besides, the info he gives about the world is basically the same kind of stuff you'd read in the loading screens anyway. Compare him to Mr. New Vegas, who really feels more like an actual radio DJ and, when he talks about the world, he mention facts and events like you are hearing them from an actual news report.
You can kill Three Dog, however. He's replaced by his assistant, a girl who just limits herself to play music.

Because he appears in Fallout 3. In FALLOUT 3! Is not enough for youuu!!???
Strange, I've never been particularly annoyed by three dog. I think he kind of stood as a symbol of the unkillable American optimism and the universal for all people instinct to keep living, even after the world itself has died. I think that's what "fighting the good fight" may be understood as, but the ideas are put in the words in which this character would be able to describe them. Maybe I've been reading into it too much.
I think three dog himself says that he sees it as his role and his mission to be someone who helps people make the best of their life in the wasteland and help them be less miserable. In that way I think he fits in the world better.
On the other hand I found Mr. Vegas boring by comparison. I also read up on the voice actor and the story of his celebrity decline down to the position where he's only hired because of the Las Vegas context, and it made me kind of sad.
