Gene Projector (Fallout 3)



The gene projector is a device which is capable of predicting a newborn baby's future appearance as a young adult by extrapolating physical characteristics from his or her genome. In Fallout 3, this device was used by James to show the Lone Wanderer how they would look when they "are all grown up".

Facial reconstruction
Other than at "birth", there is only one other opportunity to use the gene projector to change the character's face: just before exiting Vault 101 after the Escape! After that, the only facility to alter one's facial appearance is with the lasergrafter in the possession of Pinkerton in the Rivet City bow.

Haircut
Even though only Pinkerton allows changing the character's face after the tutorial, there are multiple characters which allow changing hair-style:
 * Owning a house in Megaton, the personal robot butler Wadsworth can give a new trim or shave one's beard. Godfrey in the Tenpenny Tower suite offers the same service.
 * A haircut can be recieved from Butch when encountered during Trouble on the Homefront or if having him as a companion.
 * A haircut is also available from Snowflake in Underworld.
 * It is also available from Joseph in Little Lamplight.
