Fallout Wiki: New Character Images

Recently, we've been taking new images of the various characters throughout Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas!

Take a look at some of our new images! Many of the old images were taken all the way back in 2011, with many of them requiring updates.

The overall goal is also to have consistency among every image, as well adding to our original content. Here are some of the Fallout: New Vegas ones as well!

While editing wikis is a big group effort, we'd still like to thank @analogbreakdown for spending time taking these photos!

I had no idea these dudes were in the Railroad??? Bro??

[valen-dreth]

ooo has anyone ask you about argyle yet? :o

now theres a name i havent heard in many a year........

he never actually lived in underworld at any point. moreso he was aware of it as a safe place to stay in the city. herbert was more well-liked than he was LOL

herbert floated the idea of the radio show to him once or twice actually! it never became a reality before he died, only a few years after did herbert actually get around to recording

he is VERY well-traveled, he spent a good few years in shady sands just as it was getting off the ground. he totally missed out on necropolis however

he did express some resentment over his becoming a ghoul. he was gradually coming to accept it, somewhat begrudgingly

the "stalwart ghoul manservant" thing was an in-joke he and herbert had

he was at one point married i thiunk

Do you guys think Herbert Daring Dashwood and his stalward manservant Argyle were freaking it gay style together

Hi- I might've sent this already, sorry, I don't remember, but do you think there's an in-universe explanation for the difference in slavery between the Capital Wasteland and Commonwealth? In the Commonwealth, the only major slaving operation is the Institute - the Gunners try to buy Billy in Kid in a Fridge, but that's the only non-Institute example I can really think of in the present day. In the Capital Wasteland, slaving is rife, with a number of different factions involved in the trade.

Hm. Well, for a start, it is unfortunately true that the Commonwealth is the exception to the rule here, rather than the Capital Wasteland. Slavery is rife in the post-war world. It's true that the NCR outlawed it ... but the point is that they kind of had to outlaw it. There's so much slavery in California, particularly in Fallout 2. And it's not just dickhead raiders in shanty towns. Vault City, a technologically advanced settlement built around an opened control-group Vault with access to a GECK, relies quite heavily on slavery.

The Capital Wasteland is a bit of an oddity, if you only look at the base game. The area is very depopulated, due to a combination of very bad water (and the minimal agriculture as a flow on effect from that) and the rampant super mutant attacks (which in turn have led to destabilised populations turning to raiding, further reducing the population). It's a fucking mess out there.

Ridegefield, Rockopolis and Grayditch are just gone. Big Town is hanging on by its fingernails. Arefu is bleeding people, even before the "vampire" attacks. And yet, there sits Paradise Falls – definitely one of the largest and most prosperous settlements in the region – and its income relies almost entirely on the slave trade.

We do meet a small number of slaves, or former slaves, in the game, but not really enough to justify the success of Paradise Falls. And it does not seem to be hugely popular in the area – it's more that no one has the people or resources to stop it. Flak had to "sell out" the slavers for residency in Rivet City:

Flak used to be one of us. Thinks he can make a new life in Rivet City. He's sold us out on more than one occasion. It's time for retribution. – Grouse dialogue, Fallout 3

So Rivet City is hostile to the slavers ... but we also know that Sister has infiltrated Rivet City on behalf of the slavers, and so far, they haven't discovered him or kicked him out, even though he is a giant pain in the arse in every way possible.

Moriarty and Ahzrukhal both engage in debt slavery and will engage in a bunch of verbal gymnastics to deny that they have enslaved anyone at all. They get away with it because no one will stand up and deal with them ... but their attitudes are not considered acceptable by the general populace. Moriarty believes that revealing Doc Church's past with the slavers would get him run out of town and could therefore be good blackmail material.

Church thinks he such a freakin' badass. Everybody runs to him if they get a damn wood splinter and he just laps up their caps like a drunk downing alcohol. If people only knew he used to be a medic for the slavers at Paradise Falls, they'd run his sorry ass right out of town. But I think I'll keep that little nugget tucked away for later use. – Moriarty's Terminal, Fallout 3

There really doesn't seem to be much appetite in the Capital Wasteland for slavery, and while the slavers have always existed their prosperity is new.

The most dangerous dump in the Capital Wasteland. The Slavers there would have bought and sold anything with a pulse. They still will, from what I hear. Back in my day, they were more disorganized, though. Their leader was a guy named Harmon Jurley, a psychotic son of a bitch who was rumored to eat the slaves he couldn't sell. – Herbert (Daring) Dashwood's Terminal, Fallout 3

Now: there's an answer to that question. And the reason I'm dancing around it is because I don't think you've taken Maris out to the Pitt, yet? There are answers there, but I'd be spoiling the plot for you. So ... light, context free response: the slavers in Paradise Falls have been doing so well over the last couple of decades because there's a buyer outside the Capital Wasteland. Most enslaved people are exported out.

Over in the Commonwealth, they have similar problems – though for very different reasons. The water situation appears to be better. Obviously it still needs purifying, but it's more usable than anything in the Capital Wasteland. They are capable of farming and you can set up farms as you play. But the chaos in the region means those never really prosper. And, like the Capital Wasteland, they are subject to super mutant attacks. They also don't really have the population to support a major slave trading operation.

So one simple reason there's little slavery in the Commonwealth might be that there aren't enough people, or enough farms or factories, to support it and unlike the Capital Wasteland there's no one on the outside supporting the trade.

But I do think there are a couple more elements. The first would be The Institute itself. While the situation in the Capital Wasteland is bad, it isn't until the arrival of the Enclave that they're being actively oppressed – clearly neither branch of the Brotherhood has the resources to hold more than a few blocks of territory at a time so they're not doing it. Their problems are largely environmental in nature.

We do know that the Institute has been destabilising the Commonwealth for many years. The Commonwealth Provisional Government lasted about ten seconds before they wiped it out. They are largely agnostic on the question of good and evil here: they oppose the Brotherhood, they oppose the Minutemen, they oppose the Railroad. They oppose anyone who might be able to organise against them enough to interfere with their bullshit experiments.

And while appalling, a large scale slave trade would require ... organisation. You'd need the manpower to capture people; the means to feed and house them (however minimally) before they were sold; the means to prevent people from escaping or from being rescued or "stolen"; you'd need to be able to transport people across long distances; you'd need all of the logistics that come with running any other business. And in the context of the Commonwealth, their interests would be in conflict with the Institute's: both would want to kidnap and use people. They'd be encroaching.

In the context of Fallout 3, Paradise Falls is that organised. They've got big, strong walls. They have exploding collars and the "mesmetron". They've got traders and doctors inside the compound. You can encounter slaver patrols as random encounters, so you can see them on the hunt. It's quite gross to write this but ... okay, yes, the slavers do seem to more or less have their shit together here.

It's hard to imagine the Institute even allowing something like that to get off the ground. To them, a functional, organised slaver organisation would likely be as threatening as the Minutemen. So there isn't one.

The other thing is ... well, the attitude to strangers in the Commonwealth. Everyone is afraid of secret synths. They're afraid of their friends and family members being replaced, but there at least they might be able to recognise the change. Any stranger might be a synth, and there would be no way to know. I'm sure there are terrible people in the Commonwealth who would buy slaves. But there's an element of risk, here, that such a person might be an Institute spy. And while it has nothing to do with slavery we know that's not unfounded: you can occasionally get hostile synths in your own settlement system. So "Hey, do you want to bring a bunch of strangers back to your house?" is probably a more unnerving question in the Commonwealth.

That said, I think there is probably a bit more going on than just Billy and the gunners. It's not uncommon to get a kidnapping and ransom mission from your settlements. Obviously they threaten to kill the victim if not paid ... but I mean it's clear here their objective is money. Kidnapping people from families who obviously cannot pay and then killing the victim is going to be a resource drain with no upside. So I tend to think some of those victims might ... not have been killed. Because the raiders want someone to pay and anyone will do.

So, yeah: it doesn't really make a lot of sense for either the Commonwealth or the Capital Wasteland to have a prosperous slave trade, but the Capital Wasteland is very much supported by an outside market. And in the Commonwealth there is no such group. Moreover, the Institute is not keen on organisation regardless of the form it takes, and the fear of synth infiltration probably keeps demand low.

So – there likely is some slavery going on in the Commonwealth, but it's small scale and disorganised. Just raiders kidnapping and selling when they get the chance. In the Capital Wasteland ... the presence of their buyer gives them the resources to grow.

Things about the DC area that Fallout 3 doesn't prepare you for:

DC? Super queer, openly gay. It's awesome. I'm from areas of Canada where queerness isn't visible and it's just cool :') I think every queer kid deserves to see it lived out loud by others

Escalator etiquette. Stand on the right, run on the left. I do not think I will sneak in the F3 version of the Metro the same

There is a secret Metro (alleged) beneath the White House and government continuation facility (factual) underground in Olney

Around the Tidal Basin (where Jefferson Memorial & Rivet City are located), cherry blossom trees line the real-life waterfront

There is nothing more comforting & heartbreaking as an immigrant than finding your embassy

DC a bit stinky, bruv!! Not as bad as NYC

If you're from a "we respect no smoking signs" country prepare to clutch your pearls while on the Metro

The Metro is really designed Like That! The ceilings are made of sunken panels called coffers

You will eat well in DC. The games do not at all show the Brazilian buffets or places like Ben's Chili Bowl on U Street

Galaxy News Radio is inspired by National Public Radio, and Herbert Daring Dashwood is inspired by the NPR Big Broadcast radio plays. My jaw hit the floor when I figured it out

There's fuckin electric scooters all over the place

The only driving rules are "don't get caught"

[theydjarin]

Do you think Herbert “Daring” Dashwood and his stalwart ghoul manservant Argyle have explored each others bodies

[vampirefunkmetal]

female lone with charon is so funny to me for multiple reasons but mostly

do you think there are people in the capitol wasteland that havent met lone and that hear three dog talking abt her and the ghoul shes with. and are like 'ugh. i hate this edgy reboot of The Adventures of Herbert Daring Dashwood and his Stalwart Ghoul Manservant Argyle. it sucks that they made the main character a woman because of Woke.'

Um. No. No, I'm not doing that.

Well, not the thing with the ferals, anyway. That's- The thing is, under other circumstances I might be fine walking away and letting both sides destroy each other. But Herbert Dashwood lives in the tower, and he's a nice old man who has enough regrets and has lost enough without subjecting him to a thoroughly horrible death besides. As for the rest of them- I will be honest, a lot of them don't seem great, but no worse than the Upper Stands lot in Diamond City, and these ones at least haven't committed a full-on pogrom. Not yet, anyway.

And I'm a bit leery of anyone whose first resort is 'let's tear people apart with an army of feral ghouls'. So- Yeah. This is all looking decidedly dodgy on both sides, and if Dashwood weren't involved, I'd be walking away right now.
