Wasteland Survival Guide (Fallout 3)

This is one of the rewards for the Wasteland Survival Guide quest. It has no purpose other than to serve as game flavor. In addition to the one given to the Lone Wanderer at the end of the quest, additional copies can be found in the possession of wastelanders in a random encounter which occurs after the quest has been completed. It is much larger than an ordinary book. By 2281, it has gained popularity and has found its way west to the Mojave Wasteland. By 2287, it has found its way to the Commonwealth, having printed multiple different issues by that time.

The description for the book is composed of four sections, which changes depending on the quality of the book, and the tone in which it was written. The book is composed of three chapters - Survive, Thrive, and Revive - which correspond to the 3 sets of 3 missions Moira gives the Lone Wanderer. Each mission has a bonus objective; completing all three bonus objectives for a single chapter means that it is "complete," while failing even one means it is "incomplete." The description of the book may not correspond with the Survival Expert perk received, as completing 2 objectives per chapter will still result in the worst possible description, but earn the middle-ranked perk.

Book description
Most sections are only decided by how many chapters are complete, not which ones, so each chapter has been organized based on this number.

In sections where the tone of the Lone Wanderer's responses makes a difference, text is displayed in the order Standard-Snide-Sly-Tough-Smart.
