Dukov's Place

Dukov is an old man who lives with two scantily-clad women (Cherry and Fantasia) at his river-front estate. In exchange for safety and an unending supply of alcohol, the women perform sexual favors. Whores, or survivors, depending on your viewpoint. Dukov readily offers drinks (no HP affect). Both women warn Dukov will attack if you have a drawn weapon in front of him, and that he is very good.

Killing Dukov is not difficult, despite the warnings. On his person is a 10mm Submachine gun, ammo, and "Dukov's Special Key," among other. The women flee for their part, though they return if they end up outside. Eventually they calm down, and are ambivalent-to-wistful about the change in situation. They wonder who will take care of them, well aware of their limited skill set. Any hope of usurping Dukov's position ends with limited conversation options.

What "Dukov's Special Key" opens, and where is unknown.

Please illuminate differences with women characters, high Charisma/Speech values, and those with either the Black Widow or Lady Killer perks.

Please confirm the ability to pickpocket the key.

Please confirm if Dukov has any other role in the game.
