My first question is, even though this is a different topic, should I have put it in one of my other post? I feel like I'm flooding the forum.

Ok I'm at the entrance to the Brotherhood of Steal. I've talked to Cabbot and Darrell. Darrell makes this Glow sound like a really bad place. Just to see if I could. I tried picking the lock to the door and after about 5 tries I was able to.
The I did a search for the Glow in the forum search and read a couple threads that did not have Spoilers notice. I'm still not sure what to do. So I'm asking for a little input from you guys.
Go do the Glow quest or not. I had a save game so I traveled there and then reloaded, so I know it takes 18 days oneway.

The way I play is I try to experience as much of the game as possible, but if this is one of those places that adds nothing to the game and I'm going to spend a lot of time re-loading, then is it worth it.

I guess what I'm asking.
Is it worth the trip and is it survivable with out a bunch of re-loads?

Thanks

The glow isn't hard as long as you're protected from radiation.
You need 2 Rad-X to get 100 percent radiation resistance, if you've less you'll take radiation so fast that you'll most likely die after a few days. And don't forget to bring a rope along.
Take the pills as soon as you enter the area, or even before.
Since the drugs don't protect you forever, don't do time consuming things like using books or doctor skill there.

The glow is an optional area, not really needed to finish the game, but nevertheless interesting, you can get quite some XP, equipment and background information there. The main purpose of this quest is getting access to the Brotherhood (also an optional area), but if you have electronic lockpicks and at least 57 lockpick skill you can enter the Brotherhood without doing it (although some consider this exploiting).

PS: It's useful to visit the doctor in the Brotherhood as early as possible, since *spoiler*

you get more hitpoints and skillpoints at level up if your END and INT are raised.

Thanks, I really do want to go there. Hate to miss out on anything.
I have 4 Rad-X. The only other thing was the 36 days round trip. But since I got water delivered to V13, I did gain some time. So it's off to the Glow.
I will check out the doctor

Thanks
