There is still a glitch that allows you to get this real easy.

This may be common knowledge, but I just found out about it – and I’ve logged more hours in Fallout 3 than anyone should. If I missed it, perhaps you have too. Bagging nearly every achievement available, Silver-Tongued devil was something I had yet to obtain. I made it my goal for my current playthrough, as well as getting to level 20 with neutral karma.

Originally, there were several speech challenge glitches that helped people bag this achievement on the quick. Bethesda patched them all, but one remains. I missed it during all my hours of play, and hey, maybe you have, too. I happened upon it after already getting 45 legitimate speech challenge wins, so I don’t feel like too big of a wussy cheater – though I would in no way judge your exploitation of said glitch. If Bethesda leaves it in the game, accessible without any special cheats, by all means, you have the right to take advantage.

Little Lamplight is the place, and Knock Knock is the person. You should be able to find her right by the entrance when you first go there, hanging around her twin brother Knick Knack. Tell her you want to hear her joke, go through the joke, then tell her it was hilarious. Speech challenge won (it’s a horrible joke). You can do this over and over again – same joke, same lie about its hilariousness, same speech challenge won.
