How to unlock the The Replicated Man achievement in Fallout 3 - Definitive Guide
- Get to Rivet City.
- Start the quest from Dr. Zimmer. He will be in the Science Lab.
- Get as much information as you can from Dr. Zimmer. Answer him with all polite options.
- Talk to Seagrave Holmes in the Marketplace. There should be an option to discuss the android situation with him. he will give you an audio disc.
- Go to the Rivet City Clinic and talk to the Doctor there. If your speech is high enough, he will confess to being the doctor who did the facial surgery on the android. He will also give you an audio disc.
- Leave Rivet City, and wait a moment. Someone will come out of the entrance and approach you, starting another conversation.
- This new person will talk to you about her efforts with the Railroad to save the android population. You will have a chance to ask her what you should do about Dr. Zimmer's request.
- The woman gives you an internal component of the android and says to give it to Dr. Zimmer in order to make him believe you found the android dead.
- Go to the Science Lab and give the component to Dr. Zimmer. He will pay you 50 caps for your trouble, and the achievement will unlock.
(I'll try not to give spoilers)
Once you've spoke to Zimmer and got the holotapes, you can go and speak to Pinkerton in the broken part of Rivet City, and he reveals the identity of the android, get him to reveal the 'reset code' then go and speak to the android and say this code, stay on its good side and you bag A3-21's plasma rifle, which is the best gun in the game.
Here is what I did:
-Spoke with Dr. Zimmer
-Went to the Rivet City clinic to speak to Dr. Preston to get the first audio tape
-Went to the Rivet City marketplace to speak with Seagrave Holmes and received an audio tape (in a speech challenge, so save before talking!)
-Left Rivet City and waited about 10 seconds
-Victoria Watts approached me and gave me the android part
-I went to Dr. Zimmer, gave it to him (in a lie) and completed the quest.
This quest is acquired from Dr. Zimmer in the Rivet City Science Lab. He wants you to find his missing andoid and sends you to speak with Dr. Preston (also in Rivet) who gives you a holotape. You will either need to collect 2-3 more of these from various place (see the link below), speak with Winthrop in the Underworld, speak with Moira in Megaton or continue doing other things until you are approached by a woman named Victoria Watts (she can show up anywhere). If you collect the tapes or speak with Winthrop/Moira, you'll find that a man named Pinkerton did a surgery on the android. You will find Pinkerton in the broken bow section of Rivet City. He will tell you who the andoid is (turns out to be Harkness, the dude who first greeted you to the city) and you can either convince the man he is an andoid (he'll kill Zimmer), or unlock his memories (Zimmer will reclaim him). If you met with Victoria Watts, she gives you a piece of the android, which you can present to Zimmer as if the andoid is dead which ends the quest much more quickly.
See The Replicated Man for more specific info.

There are multiple ways to start this Quest e.g. breaking into the Safe belonging to "Sister" and stealing the note that's inside but for the purposes of this guide we’ll be going with the default option since it's the simplest.
When you get to Rivet City, talk to Dr. Zimmer (he can be found in the Science Lab) who will ask you to find an android that's gone independent and doesn't want to return to its master. After you finish talking to Dr. Zimmer, you need to start asking around and find out what people know about the android and/or finding the info from various Holotapes and terminals.
After finding 3 clues you will be prompted to go to the Broken Bow of the ship and speak to Horace Pinkerton but before you get there, you will be stopped by Victoria Watts (a member of the "Railroad") and she'll plead with you to stop looking for the android and instead give Zimmer an item called the "android component". Now you can either turn in the component and end the mission there and then or continue your search and get an even better reward (you can sell the component afterwards if you didn't give it to Zimmer), we recommend carrying on with trying to help the android so you get the better reward at the end of the Quest.
Depending on your lock picking Skills, getting to Pinkerton will either be easy or annoying. If your lock picking Skills are maxed out then you can just pick the lock to his workshop and walk in, otherwise you'll have do it the hard way and swim in through the underwater door. When trying to get in via the underwater door, make sure you take some Rad-X, swim quickly and in a straight line else you'll drown. The underwater section of the Bow is swarming with Mirelurks, Mirelurk Hunters and traps so be careful. Pinkerton will be less than pleased to see you but will grudgingly tell you about the android, who he really is and give you the password to his personal terminal which will allow you to download the proof you need to convince it you're telling the truth.
When you've tracked him down, convince him that you know what he really is and that his secret is safe with you then convince him to get Dr. Zimmer and his friend expelled from Rivet City. Your reward for being completely non-violent is a stack of XP and the android's unique Plasma Rifle.
The trophy will pop once you've made the android face the truth about who he really is.
