Walter (Fallout 3)

Walter is a resident of the settlement of Megaton in 2277.

Background
Walter was born in 2216. For thirty-five years, he has been working in the Water Processing Plant maintaining and repairing the settlement's water purifier. He's increasingly worried about the state of the purifier and knows it won't hold for much longer - and neither will he.

Daily schedule
Walter can be found in the Water Processing Plant almost all day, and sometime he will step outside for some air. Or he is drinking in Moriarity's Saloon.

Quests

 * Walter's Scrap Metal: Walter will ask the PC to bring any scrap metal he finds, and as reward Walter will give the PC caps, XP, and stimpaks.
 * Treatment: Walter will ask the PC to fix all the leaking water pipes around Megaton, when finished Walter will give you some caps and XP.

Appearances
Walter only appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * Like all other Megaton characters, Walter might go missing or turn up dead. See recovering missing NPC in Fallout 3 on how to resolve this issue.
 * When in the Water Processing Plant you can "drink" from Walter if he is spoken to as soon as his name should appear at the bottom of the screen. The action to drink will show for a split second before switching to the normal talk option, timed right you can drink from him and gain HP and a few rads but note the text is red and doing so is considered a crime.
