Sturges

Sturges is a character appearing in Fallout 4.

Background
Before the events of the story, Sturges was one of many residents of Quincy, where he had converted the town's pre-War church into a workshop for his own use as the town's handyman. Following the Quincy Massacre, Sturges fled alongside Preston Garvey and the other survivors.

Later on, Sturges is one of the people taking refuge from raiders in the Museum of Freedom in Concord. After the Sole Survivor frees the people from the raiders in the museum they find refuge in the ruins of Sanctuary Hills.

He gives the Sole Survivor quests to help get Sanctuary on its feet. In the quest The Molecular Level, if the help of the Minutemen is enlisted, Sturges will help the player in entering the Institute.

During his time in Quincy, Sturges obtained multiple suits of power armor from the nearby Atom Cats, which explains his familiarity with the armor when the Sole Survivor meets him in Concord. One can presume that the power armor worn by Clint and Tessa in Quincy is the very same armor that Sturges was working on around the time of their assault.

Quests

 * Sanctuary: Sturges tasks the Sole Survivor with building the basic needs for the new settlement to survive.
 * Inside Job: The Sole Survivor is tasked by Sturges to upload a special holotape into an Insitute computer. This quest is only given if the Minutemen are chosen to help build the teleporter in The Molecular Level.
 * The Nuclear Option (Minutemen): Sturges accompanies the Sole Survivor, Preston and the Minutemen to the Insitute.

Bugs

 * Sturges, aswell as other Sanctuary settlers will sometimes teleport onto the roof of the house with the workbenches, and the only way to reach him is by making a staircase. The cause seems to be from the game spawning two NPC in the same location (one will stand on the other's head) upon fast-traveling to Sanctuary, then one NPC trying to climb in place, which teleports one of them straight up and they land on the roof.
 * Fast Travelling can sometimes fix this issue.
 * Leaving a stairway to the roof, then a 2nd 2-step stairs from roof to eve will allow him and others that get teleported up there to climb down.
 * Sturges sometimes spawns by the player when the player is adventuring in wasteland, he'll just appear to be standing and doing nothing. He will be seen by the player when the player is transitioning through elevators. What causes this bug is unknown.
 * After the The Molecular Level is complete, Sturges will be nonassignable, and if you built the teleporter in another place, he will automatically teleport to Sanctuary hills.

Behind the scenes
Sturges is possibly named after and bears a strong resemblance to the famous American playwright, screenwriter, and film director Preston Sturges.
