Joseph (Fallout 3)

Joseph is the eldest resident of Little Lamplight, at 15 years old in 2277.

Background
Joseph teaches the history of the world and Lamplight Caverns to all the kids who volunteer to learn. The player can sit in on Joseph's class by visiting the Little Lamplight schoolhouse in the mornings. If pressed during conversation, Joseph explains that he and his predecessors began by teaching survival skills to younger children, but they were able to recover some Holodisks from Vault 87's classroom at some point, and this provided them limited teaching materials. Over time, all access was cut off from Vault 87, and nothing new has been recovered in several generations.

Relationships
His little sister is Penny.

Daily schedule
In the mornings he teaches kids in the classroom, and afterward he can be found down by the water in the Great Chamber.

Quests

 * Picking Up The Trail: If you speak to Mayor MacCready about another way into Vault 87, you can seek out Joseph and ask him about an old access door controlled by a "broken" computer. Joseph will turn on a hackable computer terminal that can open the door.

Other interactions

 * Joseph is the town barber and can give the player a change of hairstyle.

Appearances
Joseph only appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * If you convince the other two children to leave Penny behind during Rescue from Paradise, Joseph will still act as though you saved her despite the fact that she remains in Paradise Falls indefinitely.
 * If you talk to joseph about turning on the terminal while in the room with the waterpools (and eclair's cafe) it is possible that joseph falls in the water when he leads you to the terminal. This can be solved when you leave little lamplight, wait 24 hours outside and return.
