Fallout 3: All Bobblehead Location & Commands
By eltorga
Bobbleheads are one of the most powerful item types you can find in Fallout 3. They grant sizable increases to your S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats and your skills, although they can't increase that stat over its maximum—ten for attributes, 100 for skills. To help you find these bobbleheads on your next playthrough, we've updated this guide with images of where each location is on the map.

oh my god, using the wayback machine, the "The Gamer" (Probably, maybe a few months before) actually made the guide around October of 2021. The post was updated on October 31st 2021 by a Charles Burgar and the original being posted by a Jacob William Close. It seems that all this steam guide added was console commands to get the bobble heads.

A popular news site, The Gamer, stole your guide: https://www.thegamer.com/fallout-3-every-bobblehead-location/

How do you use player.xxx commands, because every time I enter it into the console window it gives me a great long list of reasons why that isn't a valid command?
H.E.C.U Soldier 12 May @ 9:31am 
you couldve also put them in the order of the skills when you level up

Hello @ace-mos i didn't order with numbers, cuz you start near to Megaton, if you want to get them all, you must start from "Energy Weapons" as N°1 (In the top of the map) and then "Intelligence" ans the last (Bottom of the map). if you want toget all, take yout time and enjoy the game bro.
