Red (Fallout 3)



 is the Doctor in Big Town.

The town that she lives in had recently come under attack from super mutants. To retrieve her and the other survivor Shorty you must travel to the Germantown police headquarters where she is imprisoned (Big Trouble in Big Town).

Once rescued you can escort her back to town or enslave her then. If you ask for a reward she may give you up to 300 caps. You can request more caps if your Speech skill is high enough and if you are successful she will give you 200 more caps but you will lose karma, at this point you can choose to return the extra caps or help them with the other options that are presented. If your science skill is high enough you can show them how to defend the town by fixing the junk robots they have in their scrapyard. You can also use your small guns skill to teach them to shoot, your Sneak skill to teach them to hide, or your explosives skill to teach them how to plant mines. After you show them how to defend themselves they will use that skill against slaver and Super mutant attacks. There seems to be some glitches with choosing the science option. Occasionally if you choose to fix the robots all of the residents will follow you to the junkyard but there will be no robots to fix. All residents are then locked into a continual "are you going to teach us something" state.

After this free health care is not provided. It is advisable to wait until rescuing the town from attack before enslaving her. However, if you go over to her operation table you can choose to work on Timebomb, a citizen of Big Town who was injured. If you save him and go talk to Red, she will say you are clearly a better doctor than her and tell you if you ever need to be healed it's free of charge.

She is one of the targets for enslavement that Eulogy put a special bounty on.

She has a unique Bandana and Jumpsuit.

If all of the other citizens of Big Town are killed, there will be a conformation message telling you that she has died, and she will be dead in her cell in Germantown Police Headquarters.

She always seems to die if the other residents of big town are dead. Even if you enslave her and she is in Paradise Falls, if the other townspeople die, you will get a message stating she is dead, and she will be dead at Paradise Falls.

Trivia

 * Red also has training with Power Armor so the player can give her the armor and helmet.
 * Red will take damage and cannot be healed when she is a follower, so whilst she can be used as a mule and a fighter by the player she is quite vulnerable in combat. Her health is restored when she returns to Big Town.
 * Red will retain any items she has been given when she returns to Big Town, so remember to remove anything you don't want her to have.
