Fallout 3 characters

Legend
The characters shown here are grouped by their initial location. Only locations with at least two named characters have their own section. Characters in other locations can be found in the "Miscellaneous locations" section. In total there are 319 different characters in the main game.

Canterbury Commons

 * * AntAgonizer will only appear as a random encounter if the Superhuman Gambit is completed in her favor.

Underworld
* Moira Brown will only be in Underworld if the player decides to blow up Megaton as part of the quest The Power of the Atom.

Vault 101
Many Vault 101 characters have multiple base and ref IDs because they have different models, one for each segment of the tutorial levels (e.g., when your character is 10 years old, 16 and 19) as well as the return to the vault for a later quest. For this reason Vault 101 has been split into three sections. In addition while many Vault 101 security guards are named in-game, behind the scenes they are just generically labelled. Collectively this means many Form IDs for characters in this section may be incorrect or missing.

(Trouble on the Homefront)

 * Officer Armstrong will replace Officer Gomez if Gomez was killed during Escape!.


 * Allen Mack will replace the Overseer if the original Overseer was killed during Escape!.

Warrington station
* Michael and Bessie will become merchants after moving into Tenpenny Tower.

Variable locations
* Emaline only appears as a random encounter if the player betrays Sydney during Stealing Independence.

Miscellaneous locations
* Ant Researcher, Gibson, and Muffy are affected by a glitch where they will respawn alive after the first instance of them being found dead.

** After completion of Stealing Independence, Sydney will move to the Ninth Circle in Underworld.
