Note
Dave from the Republic of Dave will travel to Old Olney should he lose the The Election of Dave. With the Deathclaw infestation, he almost certainly dies unless otherwise assisted by the player.

If Dave actually survives the trip, he will camp out in the middle of the town, next to some trash bins and dead raiders. Dave will threaten you to leave if you attempt to talk to him; if you do this three times he will open fire on you. Killing him makes the remaining citizens of the RoD hostile against you and you will not incur karma loss for killing them.

If you came here in search of Nuka-Cola Quantum, you will find a note next to a skeleton in front of the Fire House giving a report that the driver of the truck shipment has crashed just East of the town, next to a gas station. Traveling directly east, you will spot the crashed truck not far from the town and several Nuka-Cola Quantums.

Trivia
