First time out of the vault
Hello all, my first post here, be gentle. :)

I'm playing through Fallout 1 but I tend to have to leave it for several weeks at a time, meaning I often forget some of the finer details of the conversations and come back to the game having no idea where I need to go next. This is one of those times. I've done the following:
- found and returned the chip to my vault
- liberated Adytum
- visited the Cathedral, Brotherhood, and most places except at least one that isn't listed on my map yet

I haven't yet:
- killed the super mutants at the Necropolis (too strong)
- entered the Glow (can't work out how)
- found the missing caravans (no idea how, random wandering isn't helping)

My Pipboy notes are incredibly vague - I'm supposed to be finding the source of the mutants and if I remember correctly, killing the leader, and I got this quest after talking to the Supervisor back at the vault (though I don't recall him explicitly saying either of those things).

Can anybody give me a gentle spoiler-free nudge in the right direction or directions? If you need more information from me, let me know.
 
Try to find the missing caravans first. There are some helpful characters in Hub, you need talk with them.
Then visit the Glow. Do not rush, after arriving examine the scenery objects using a binocular icon action.
Good luck!
 
I've spent hours in the Hub, and talked to pretty much everybody I could find, but don't remember ever getting anything useful about the missing caravans. :(
 
Ok, I found a walkthrough on some site and it turns out I had to ask about something I thought I had already dealt with in order to unlock a conversation option on someone else. ANNOYING!

But that's done now, anyway. Now I'm stuck at The Glow. Just like the first time I went there, I've examined every piece of scenery I could find with the binoculars, but none of it was any help. There was a lot of scrub, a few dead 'losers', some unknown animal bones, and a horned kangaroo corpse, but that's it. What am I missing?
 
There's a damaged steel beam hanging over the hole. If you have some rope, you can use it to enter the crater. The beam should be dull grey if I recall correctly.
 
Ah, thanks so much, both of you. I'd already got some rope because I was sure I'd need it there but couldn't find how to use it. I've hovered the mouse over lots of the edge of crater before but never found anything that looked different or which would bring up the binoculars icon. Now I've got in ok and now have have plenty to do!
