Acquiring Power Armor:

Go to the hub, then go to old town. The first building at the bottom of your screen has a gang in it. You have to fight them. Have enough stimpacks to last you and some good armor. After you have killed the gang got to the back room in that building and release the guy in there. He asks you to tell Talus He is ok. Talus is at the brotherhood of steel. He will give you a list of weapons and power armor. Tell him you want the power armor. Then you have to go and see Micheal. Micheal gives you the Power Armor.

Free Money:

If you want lots of cash (more than enough to last the whole game) go to the hub. Go downtown and into the Crimson Caravaners on the day that they leave (3rd of every month). Tell Keri you want a job. When she asks for the location that you wish to go to, tell her, "never mind, I just remembered something I have to do." Go back to the entrance of the Hub. You will see two men wearing red shirts. Point to both of them. If it says "you see: caravan leader" then talk to him. He will give you $600! Now, go back and talk to Keri, and repeat the process all over again. You will recieve $600 every time you talk to the caravan leader. It might take a while to get tons-o-cash, but it will be worth it.
