Moira Brown

Moira Brown is an inhabitant of Megaton, a town in Fallout 3, and the owner of the Craterside Supply store, also in Megaton. She wants the Vault 101 Dweller to help her research a guide to the wastelands that she is writing, as well as scout a nearby Super Duper Mart for food and medicine.

If the player character helps Burke detonate Megaton's nuclear bomb, it turns out that Moira survived the blast, as she was outside of town researching something for her guide. However, the massive exposure to radiation turns her into a ghoul.

Moira's personality is extremely cheerful at all times, often excessively so; she takes as much delight in talking about what she's doing as possible.

One benefit of one of her sub-quests to complete the Survival Guide is a beneficial mutation that causes the player's limbs to regenerate when suffering from Advanced Radiation poisoning. This may in fact be a predecessor to a sort of ghoul mutation.

Another benefit of her sub-quests is that if you talk to her about the second chapter in her book, after finding her a landmine, investigating the Super-Duper Mart and getting radiation poisoned, if your Speech skill is high enough, you can convince her to abandon her plans at writing the book. This will give you a perk (Dream Crusher) that makes enemies 50% less likely to get critical hits on you.
