Well I already acquired that Brotherhood of Steel quest that involves getting something from somewhere down south. I presume they mean the Glow because I know of no other places to the south they could be referring to. Unfortunately I don't know how to enter the Glow. I see this big crater and I can't "use" a rope on it or anything.
I've talked to people at the church place south of Boneyard, but the folks there don't seem to like me.
And so far, I have done the following in the Boneyard:
-Kill the Blades leader and a number of members
-Obtained the parts for the Hydroponics thing
-Killed all of the Gun Runners and looted most of the place
-Killed the three Deathclaws AND their Mother
-Spoken to Nicole about the Followers and some other stuff
-Got that Follower companion
And currently, my World map has all imporant locations except one revealed (according to right-side panel)
