Canterbury Commons

Canterbury Commons is a trading post and a small town located on the eastern edge of the Capital Wasteland. It is inhabited by five wastelanders and can be found north of Washington, D.C., north of Vault 108, and southeast of the Temple of the Union.

Background
Canterbury Commons was initially founded by Uncle Roe and his sister Daisy as a trading hub for the caravan merchants in the Capital Wasteland.

Layout
The settlement is built into what appears to be the remains of a small pre-War town, with the current inhabitants only using a small part of the buildings available. The town's only merchant, Joe Porter, lives in an old Dot's Diner. Adjacent to this building is an old garage which is home to Dominic and Machete, and across the street is the old fire station, now Uncle Roe's house which Uncle Roe shares with his nephew Derek Pacion. Behind the old garage a small brahmin stable can be found.

In front of the town to the west is a large circular cul-de-sac where caravan merchants appear regularly.

Notable loot

 * Grognak the Barbarian - carried by Derek Pacion, this needs to be pickpocketed.
 * Dean's Electronics - inside Dominic and Machete's garage on a desk in the room to the right as you walk in.
 * Highwayman's Friend - unique tire iron, inside Dominic and Machete's garage, on a shelf right next to the Dean's Electronics.

Appearances
Canterbury Commons appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * After the initial battle between the AntAgonizer and the Mechanist, some of their minions (ants or robots) might glitch and be left standing there forever. They do not attack unless provoked but no dialog will be available between them and the player.
 * During the initial battle between the AntAgonizer and The Mechanist, the AntAgonizer's ants will not have a label, and have unusually low health. Once dead, they can not be searched.
 * The Mechanist may not appear in the Mechanist forge.
 * Yao guai can randomly spawn inside Canterbury Commons and kill all adult residents.
