Overseer Barstow

Overseer Valery Barstow is a friendly ghoul living in Vault 88 in 2287, encountered during the Vault-Tec Workshop quest Better Living Underground.

Background
Valery Barstow was meant to become the Overseer of Vault 88. But, when the bombs fell, the vault wasn't completed. Barstow, who was in the Vault at the time, got stuck in there for more than 200 years and was turned into a ghoul. The only thing that kept her sane, and prevented her from turning feral, was her loyalty to Vault-Tec and their cause. She spent most of her life preparing Vault Experiments. Once saved by the Sole Survivor, she'll ask them for their help rebuilding the Vaults and conducting experiments.

Interactions with the player character
Since Barstow is fanatically dedicated to Vault-Tec's amoral experiments and the mindset behind them, her behavior towards the Sole Survivor changes depending on the way they conduct her experiments during the Vault-Tec Workshop questline. Going along with the original, ruthless tests will earn her approval. Conversely, choosing the humane options will result in Barstow getting angry and calling the Survivor out on their lack of detachment to their test subjects. If the questline ends with the settlers being happy, she furiously leaves Vault 88 forever.

Appearances
Valery Barstow appears only in the Fallout 4 add-on Vault-Tec Workshop.
