Vault-Tec Rep



The Vault-Tec rep is a representative of Vault-Tec in 2077, who informs the Sole Survivor that they and their family have been approved to move into Vault 111.

Background
The Vault-Tec Representative calls on the Survivor shortly before the bombing of the Boston area in 2077, when he asks them to fill out paperwork to complete their family's vault reservation. During this conversation, one may note despite his cheerful behavior, the representative is clearly anxious about the possibility of a nuclear war.

Upon completion, he thanks the Survivor before being cut off by the door abruptly closing. After the alarms ring out, he is then at the front of the crowd of people pleading for access to the Vault but being denied entry by the soldiers, despite him being a Vault-Tec employee. He tries to force his way through, but backs down as a power-armored soldier prepares to fire at him. He then speaks out telling the soldier registering the citizens that he will report this incident before fleeing the area to take shelter elsewhere.

He survived the war, but became a ghoul, due to radiation. Since then, he has taken up residence in Goodneighbor and can be found in Hotel Rexford. If met, the Representative expresses shock that the Sole Survivor has not changed since they last met from over 200 years ago. In stark contrast to his mood at the beginning of the game, he expresses depression and is resentful of how Vault-tec had abandoned him as he was not on the "list". The Representative also mentions he had no idea about the experiment that Vault 111 had conducted as he was only meant to "roll call" the potential occupants. Furthermore, he claims after the Great War, he struggled with the psychological trauma and bias as a ghoul as he could not live in Diamond City, did not want to live in Sanctuary Hills due to the "insane" behavior of Codsworth, and has given up hope since. Upon finishing his rant, the rep hints that the Sole Survivor was the last friendly person he had met right before the Great War altered his life. From there, the Sole Survivor can convince him to move back to Sanctuary Hills, as long as they pass an easy speech check. If given an occupation, he partially regains his cheerful behavior from prior to the war.

Other interactions

 * War Never Changes - Interacting with the Vault-Tec rep prompts the player character to choose their SPECIAL stats for the first time and enter a name for the Sole Survivor.
 * Familiar Faces - He can be recruited and sent to a settlement.

Appearances
The Vault-Tec rep appears only in Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes
The Vault-Tec representative bears a resemblance to the Executive Producer at Bethesda Game Studios, Todd Howard.

Bugs

 * He can get stuck in a dialog loop and repeat the line "You're going to come visit, right?" forever. This makes it impossible to purchase items from him. The bug appears to randomly fix itself after an amount of time.
 * He can also get bugged if assigned to a Trader shop or similar, where his dialog will only be a looped generic dialogue every time one tries to get him to open shop dialog, which is impossible as long as he's assigned. It doesn't seem to correct itself either after multiple visits over in-game weeks nor will he greet the Sole Survivor.
 * This may be fixed using the console. Halfway through the conversation, open the console, select the Vault-Tec rep, use and then right after that.
 * Although acclaimed to be the only person "with 200 years of sales experience", he may not appear at the shop he was assigned to. The Sole Survivor will need to assign another role for him and trade a few items before assigning him back again.
 * When trying to assign him to any assignable task, instead of assigning the representative, he will move to the object and stand next to or inside of it.
 * This appears to be caused by him not being counted as a settler, one fix for this is to send him to a different settlement, then send him back to whatever settlement you want him at.
 * He, as well as other recruitable settlers, may fail to appear in the specified settlement.
 * Upon initial arrival to Sanctuary Hills, he may be nonassignable. By initiating a conversation the player character may be offered a chance to inquire if he'd like a job. The settlement assignment dialog will appear. If the player character elects to send him to Sanctuary Hills and he does not appear, he may be moved to the settlement via the console after which he will be assignable.
