Max (Fallout: New Vegas)

Max is a child residing in Freeside in 2281.

Background
He can be seen in Freeside chasing a girl named Stacey with Euclid's C-Finder.

Other interactions
Max will sell Euclid's C-Finder upon request for 1000 caps, but by passing a Barter check of 45, will sell it for only 20 caps, and by passing a Speech check of 60 will give it to the player character for free.

Quests
I Could Make You Care - If you choose to complete the quest by obtaining Euclid's C-Finder, it will need to be bought from Max.

Appearances
Max appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes
An additional dialogue option exists which would allow the player to obtain Euclid's C-Finder for free. However, this dialogue option requires the cut Child at Heart perk, which was removed owing to the small number of children in the Mojave Wasteland.

Bugs

 * If pickpocketed and then spoken to, he will still offer the Euclid's C-Finder for sale, thus allowing another to be obtained.
 * Max may disappear from Freeside entirely, being moved to the far north of the map, beyond the northern passage, on the canyons.
 * Max can be seen running to the north from Freeside past Gun Runners.
 * Max may run into the Gun Runners compound, then into the building, the Courier can talk to him and get the Euclid's C-Finder again even if the Barter check was used before.
 * If the Barter check was used he will pull out another Euclid's C-Finder after a few days, and it may be obtained from him again.
