The title of this video might seem like a joke (and it is) but this fight early on against Silver turned out to be unexpectedly very difficult. Much moreso than anything the mandatory vault tutorial had to offer, and by the time you face tougher enemies later on in the game you've probably leveled yourself up and equipped yourself to the point where they aren't a big deal to deal with.
You see, contrary to most games, Fallout 3 is a game which actually gets progressively easier the more you play it, until it gets boringly easy, even on "Very Hard" difficulty. But when you first leave the vault at only Level 2, enemies that would become a joke later on can be surprisingly challenging at this early point. And Silver here is no exception.
While it isn't necessary to fight her at all, I kinda needed the caps for the Old Olney Sewer challenge I was doing, so I demanded she hand them over... but she refused, and this long bloody fight ensued. She even got me down to only one bar of health so I almost died. I had little ammo, and I wasn't built for melee combat. But I did what I could.
According to the Fallout wiki she has 70 hitpoints, which is more than twice what the vault guards have in the tutorial, but still less than what Butch's Mom has. But unlike Butch's mom, she actually puts up a fight instead of fleeing.
But anyway, this video is mainly just a joke. I also thought it was funny how when I killed her I didn't lose any karma at all, but all of her possessions were somehow still "owned" despite her being dead, and I lost a MASSIVE amount of karma by looting everything in sight.
The lesson FO3 teaches us about morality is that killing people is okay, but stealing their stuff is not okay.
