Bridge Keeper

Bridge Keeper is a special encounter in Fallout 2.

Overview
You're standing in front of a large chasm, spanned by a rope bridge that is blocked by a brown-robed figure. The Bridgekeeper, when approached, hails the player and demands that they answer three questions. The player character can answer, or decline, however you can not leave without crossing the bridge, there is no exit grid on the near side, and, if the player has the Highwayman, it is inexplicably parked on the far side.

The Bridgekeeper's questions begin, with "What is your name?" and "What is your quest?" The Chosen One can answer truthfully or lie to the first one, the answers to the second all tend to be acceptably true, and will change depending upon the point they are at in the storyline. The third question is random among three questions, and are pieces of obscure Fallout trivia, usually based on the intricacies of the SPECIAL system.

If you have less than 4 in Intelligence, the conversation will be extremely confusing, but you can still answer questions. The Bridgekeeper will ask you only two questions and help you greatly for the 2nd, giving you the answer in the question. Also, it's the only type of character that can kill the Bridgekeeper directly to the 1st question, asking him his name.

Third question answer

 * What is the minimum requirement for the Quick Pockets perk?
 * Uh...Agility of five?
 * Uh...level three?
 * What do you mean? The statistic or level requirement? (kill Bridgekeeper)
 * Which non-player character from Fallout 1 survived to appear in the sequel?
 * Uh...Dogmeat?
 * Uh...Tandi?
 * Uh...Harold?
 * What do you mean? Non-player character allies or non-player character enemies? (kill Bridgekeeper)
 * How much weight can a person with a Strength of six carry assuming he has the Strong Back perk?
 * Uh...two hundred and twenty-five pounds?
 * How many levels of the Strong Back perk does the person have? (kill Bridgekeeper)

Behind the scenes
