Goodneighbor



Goodneighbor is a small town inside Boston in the Commonwealth in 2287. It is inhabited by ghouls, criminals and other people who do not fit in at Diamond City.

Background
Before the bombs fell, this location was known as Scollay Square; a name that can still be seen in the Third Rail on the wall to the right side of the bar. Goodneighbor was founded in 2240 by criminals who were exiled from Diamond City. It can be easily reached from the Mass Fusion building by traveling to the southeast.

The town is known for its criminal activity, such as murder, extortion and chem peddling. There are two shops near the entrance: Kill or Be Killed is run by KL-E-0 who sells weapons, and Daisy's Discounts run by Daisy who sells general items. The Third Rail is the town bar built out of an old subway station and is tended by Whitechapel Charlie. It is owned by the self-appointed and beloved mayor, John Hancock.

Layout

Behind the scenes
undefined End
 * In the real world, Mary Goodneighbor was a burlesque performer who was filmed in the Old Howard Theater by Boston's vice squad performing a striptease. This tape was central to getting the Old Howard Theater shut down, marking the general end of the Scollay Square district.
 * In the game, the Memory Den's facade and marquee are based on the Gordon's Scollay Square Olympia Theater, though it is about a block and a half away from where that building was. The proprietor of the Memory Den, Irma, is also named and styled after Mary Goodneighbor, whose stage name was Irma the Body.
 * The Good Neighbor Program is a real world Section 8 housing program in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, so it's possible that it could be the basis for Goodneighbor's name.

Bugs

 * Bobbi's terminal is inaccessible. Even without collision, there is no way to use the terminal. This prevents the player from opening the nearby safe as it can only be unlocked via Bobbi's terminal. With the console command 'unlock', one can access the safe, though there will be no prompt indicating that the safe exists.
 * When entering Goodneighbor, jumping as you open the door can put your character in a suspended jumping motion. You can fix this simply by pulling your weapon out.
 * When shooting a Triggerman in the warehouses using VATS with a full critical bar, the whole game may start to glitch and result in a crash.
