Andale

Andale is a town in the south of the Capital Wasteland, between Washington, DC and Tenpenny Tower. It has 7 human inhabitants.

Background
Andale is touted by its residents as the greatest place on Earth. However, the town holds a dark secret. Four families survived the nuclear war and remained in Andale, but eventually took to cannibalism after their food supplies ran out. Since then, the murder and consumption of outsiders, along with inbreeding between the Andale families, have become a tradition passed down from generation to generation.

Layout
Andale is located directly south of Fairfax Ruins. The town is comprised of three intact houses on a street amidst the ruins of other homes, and a Red Rocket gas stop.

Trivia

 * Fallout 3 borrows names from several towns in and around the DC area. Andale likely refers to Annandale, Virginia, a suburb of Washington DC which is near Falls Church, but not in Arlington as the in game map suggests.

Bugs

 * If you kill both sets of parents, leaving the kids with Mr. Harris, you can later kill Mr. Harris, and then the children will continue to live in Mr. Harris's house among his corpse and speak about him as if he were alive even with his corpse in front of them in pieces.
 * If you complete the confrontation with the Families on friendly terms, you should now notice that Old Man Harris' doors are locked, yet no one seems to hold the key. To unlock the door of Old Man Harris' house, if on friendly terms with the families, you have to kill the families to unlock the door. (Confirmed on Xbox 360, PC & PS3.)
 * If you enter the Smith's basement, discover the truth behind the strange food and then exit the Smith's house you will notice the Smith and Wilson parents stalking towards the Smith's front door as if they don't notice you had already exited. After Jack Smith gets to his own front door he turns to confront you with the usual dialogue. (Confirmed on PS3 and 360).
 * If you enter the Smith's basement, etc, the four adults gather in around the front door of the Wilson house as if they expect you to emerge from there instead. If you go up to them, the cut-scene plays out as normal. (Confirmed on Xbox 360.)
