How to unlock the Escape! achievement in Fallout 3 - Definitive Guide
This achievement is story related and you will not be able to play the game (outside the vault) until you complete this mission.
Story Related, Unmissable
After the cutscene, you'll wake up and be told by Amata that your Father has illegally left the Vault and the place is now in lockdown. She'll also tell you that the security forces are on the Overseer’s orders to arrest your father. Before you leave your bedroom make sure you grab your BB Gun (plus ammo) and the Stimpaks and Med-X from the First Aid Kit because you will not be returning to the Vault for a while. Whilst making your way out of the Vault, make sure you stop by your Father's office and grab the Bobblehead from his desk (if you didn't get it earlier) as this is your second of three chances to get it. Do all the Side Quests you can find before you leave (including saving Butch's mother from some Radroaches) as you will need the Good Karma and XP but try to avoid fighting the guards as you're too weak to last against them, if you must fight them then use melee attacks as you’ll want to save your ammo as it’s scarce this early on in the game.
The trophy will pop shortly after you exit the Vault and enter the Capital Wasteland.
Again you will flash forward, to the age of 20 this time. You will now need to follow your father and escape the vault. Your main goal will be marked on your compass. See Escape! for more info.
Note: From here out there is a lot of travel. You can use this Interactive Map to find where to go.

Note for PC Users: You can use the console command "tmm 1" to populate your map with all locations in the game. Doing so will allow you to fast travel everywhere from the start. See "One Man Scouting Party" for more info on using this command.
To open the console, hit the "~" key located next the the number 1 on your keyboard. Simply type "tmm 1" and hit enter after hitting "~" to activate it. It will say "All Map Markers Added" if you did it right.
