Okay, so I got under Necropolis and started rummaging around. I bumped into the peaceful zombie who told me about the watershed and so on. I started heading north to find it but hit a dead-end ladder, so I went up and discovered Harry, about ten attempts to kill Harry and his kin later. I figured I might be going about it the wrong way... any hints? (I got captured once and taken to the other guy who wanted to splice me or whatever, but got killed by refusing to do it)

If your talky skills are up to it you can pursuade Harry you're just another zombie and he lets you wander through without a fight.

Despite Harry's insistence he can be fooled.
I usually take Set's quest to take out Harry and co., but it can be difficult that early in the game, and getting the quest later is next to impossible unless you're speedrunning. My last playthrough, the guy with the flamethrower took out one of his buddies for me (by accident, of course.)
Part of the trick is to draw them outside- fighting these assholes in close quarters is not recommended without power armour and very high energy/small arms skill (and the appropriate guns for either.)
Also, anyone who's carrying a minigun should be killed as quickly as possible. They do a lot of damage compared to other weapons mutants typically carry.

Yeah, I can get past Harry by just saying "No, I am a ghoul" and he ignores me, but that didn't seem as much fun as winding him up.
Frustratingly I managed to kill them all but Harry and instead of saving it, went after Harry (who I thought had very little HP left as he ran away) and managed to get myself killed. What fun.
Anyway, where is this Set character? Is he down in the sewers? Or up above?

He should be in the church. You may have to ventilate the guard at the door.

Sorry if this would be considered derailment, but I scored Fallout off Ebay a week ago and am now playing it (Surprisingly, it works on Vista). I'm in the second Vault, but it seems I need a rope to get down. Where would I find one?

Try the shed near the farm on the southeast side of Shady Sands. There's another rope on level 2 that'll get you to level 3, so you don't need to worry about finding another.

If you've got that guy as a buddy sometimes you can trade him stuff for a rope if he has one.

Without spoiling too much, there are two points in the game where you'll need rope (Specifically Vault 15 and The Glow). The second is much later and when you do need it, there isn't any for miles. To avoid frustration best keep some on you.

Oh you'll definitely need it for that later time, 'cuz you're gonna only want to have to visit that place once. Fucking creepy place but also a nightmare in terms of how much it can kill you. Bring Radaway and Rad-X along with that rope.
