On the upcoming release of fallout 3 I figured I would bust out a few fallout 1,2,tactics, and Brotherhood of Steel play through's, on doing so I came across something rather funny and extremely helpful in Fallout 1. You should know about the junktown doctors link to iguana bob, he sells iguana bob human parts for food, if your character can get the midget in the cellar to tell you this you can go to junktown and blackmail iguana bob into paying you money every 5 days. After you exit dialogue with him you can reopen it and say your price has changed, and choose to raise it up to 100 more caps each time. If you do this on a day where he pays you, every time you raise the price he will give you the original price plus whatever amount you raised it. My character is level 5 and I have over 200,000 caps. Sadly the game sets a limit to 99,999 caps, but if u keep doing this blackmail trick, your caps will continue to increase but it wont show it in your inventory.

For additional help, I will show you my current stats, perks, traits, and skills.
ST-5
PE-5
EN-5
CH-8
IN-6
AG-6
LK-5

Level: 5
Exp: 13,200

PERKS

Lock Pick: 89%

(on a side note, my barter is set up to 80 % to help with sales and maximize use of my basically unlimited caps)

Here are 2 screen shots I took during this process, btw a helpful thing to do is utilize the quicksave and quickload buttons (F6 and F7). usually after each successful increase in money I save it, he does tend to tweak out on you and say no to your blackmail so remember to save it.
