Quests

 * Blood Ties: Lucy West in Megaton has not heard from her brother Ian West in a while and asks the Lone Wanderer to go to his home in Arefu to investigate. When one arrives, they discover Ian missing and their parents savagely murdered in their home. Evan King, the leader of the small town, also asks the Lone Wanderer to find out what's happened to Ian. Unbeknownst to everyone, he has been adopted into the Family by its leader, Vance. To discover Ian, Vance, the Family, and the rest of their story, travel to their underground headquarters in the Meresti trainyard.
 * I Want to Drink Your Blood: After completing Blood Ties, one has the option of donating blood packs to the Family.

Effects of player's actions

 * If he is convinced to accept blood packs from Arefu, one can then give him blood packs for caps.
 * To gain positive Karma and friendship with the Family, one can make a deal with Vance by having the citizens of Arefu donate the Family a periodic supply of blood packs to keep them sustained and to ensure they no longer harass the town.
 * Upon completing Blood Ties, Vance awards the player his copy of the Shishkebab schematics, no matter what dialogue options were chosen.
 * Vance is the only source of the Hematophage perk, which causes blood packs to yield 20 HP each rather than the normal 1 HP. Return to Meresti trainyard and talk to Vance after completing Blood Ties and getting Evan King to accept Vance's deal on behalf of the people of Arefu.
