Gob

 is a Ghoul bartender who works at Moriarty's Saloon in Megaton in the year 2277.

Background
Gob used to live in Underworld with his adoptive "Mother", Carol. He set out into the Wasteland to find fortune until he was caught by a group of Slavers on his journey. Colin Moriarty purchased him to be his slave. He works for Colin Moriarty to repay a debt presumably incurred when Moriarty purchased Gob from the Slavers who captured him. Gob has been working to repay his debt for 15 years, a struggle since Moriarty, who badly mistreats him, charges Gob for rent and food.

Inconsistency in origin of Gob's name
While yelling at Gob in random NPC to NPC conversation, Moriarty says, "Shut yer gob, Gob! Ain't that why I named you that to begin with, 'cause you talk too goddamn much?" Yet, Carol knows exactly who the player means by "Gob."

Daily schedule
Gob spends his whole time at the bar serving drinks.

Though at rare times he'll be sleeping up stairs and Moriarty is running the bar. (as confirmed by the xbox 360) Moriarty will make a comment about Gob being lazy.

Interactions with the player character
When first meeting Gob, Gob will tell the PC to not hit him or anything. Treating Gob kindly will open up generous discounts, gain the player some good Karma, and reveal some more of his personal past. The discount is especially useful as Gob remains a cheap source of Stimpaks for the entire game. You lose the chance to obtain this discount if you first talk to Gob after Moriarty is dead.

The player can speak to Carol regarding Gob and his situation (in a positive or negative manner), but no further 'courier' conversation options open upon return to Gob. If the player kills Gob, Carol can be told of his death:
 * If the player simply says that Gob is dead, Carol will become saddened, and Greta will become angry.
 * If the player confesses to Gob's murder, Carol and every Ghoul around her at that time will become temporarily hostile.

If you kill Moriarty, Gob will eventually take over the saloon and place his name over Moriarty's on the front sign. Nova will begin running the hotel and quit being a whore once Gob is in charge.

Quotes

 * "Wait? You're not gonna hit me? Yell at me? Not even berate me a little bit?"
 * "Well, now that's a surprise! Im used to every person in this town giving me shit cause i look like a corpse."
 * "Moriarty'd have my head if he saw me chargin' at a discount, but for you, I'll risk it."
 * "If you ever make it to Underworld, tell Carol i said hi."
 * "Oh, hey! I'm glad your here. Moriarty's been especially shitty lately and i need a friendly face."

Appearances
Gob appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * If the player manages to complete the Galaxy News Radio quest without ever stepping foot into Moriarty's Saloon, Gob will still complain about the radio's reception upon entry to which Nova replies, "I told you Gob, it ain't the radio...it's Galaxy News. Their signal's been shit lately."
