Wastelander (Fallout 3)

The anonymous civilians of the Capital Wasteland. Usually found dead, but some seems to randomly run around the Capital Wasteland until they run into a Raider or something else that kill them.

Random Encounter: Bomb
A female Wastelander will approach you and tell you bandits have strapped explosives to her. You have the option to attempt to disarm the explosives or leave her. The skill test for this appears to be fairly high (50 or higher explosives?). If you fail to disarm the explosive, she will start beeping and run away, then explode. After she explodes, the bandits will approach. One of these bandits has a Flamer. The rest have small arms and melee weapons.

Random Encounter: Mole rats
A male Wastelander will run past you, chased by four Mole Rats. He will thank you when you've killed the mole rats ("I thought I was a goner"), but not give you anything actually profitable.
