Nova

Nova is one of the residents of the Capital Wasteland town of Megaton. She works as the local prostitute at Moriarty's Saloon. For 120 Bottlecaps, you can rent a room with her.

When you inquire about hiring Nova's services she advises you to hire a room. When you inquire about the cost of the room she replies "Well... for you? A room and some company will run you 120 caps. Up front". After paying for the room she directs you to the room with the "big bed" and straight after finishing your conversation she walks up the stairs to the room, lies down on the bed and appears to fall asleep. Attempting to speak with her at this point will result in the usual dialogue choices. However from this exchange you do get access to sleep in that bed for a period of time.


 * After inquiring about Colin Moriarty and completing a successful Speech check, she will give you the password for Colin's terminal, which contains valuable information about your Father.
 * If the player (male) possesses the Lady Killer Perk, the dialogue and innuendo from her becomes more evidently playful and suggestive.
 * Nova's not picky; both male and female players can acquire her services.
 * Some of Nova's dialog, and comments from other Megaton dwellers, suggests she may have considered leaving the life of a whore and trying to move on with her life even though she supposedly owes Moriarty some Caps, but no quest or dialog options exist to try and convince her to do this beyond a single mention.
 * However, she will stop selling herself if Colin is killed by the player as she becomes free of her alleged monetary debt to him and will take over running the saloon.
 * When questioned if she's ever "serviced" Gob, she simply replies that while she knows he'd like it, he is below her standards, even for a whore.
 * On the PS3 version of the game, there is a glitch where, occasionally, Nova will start going down into the floor, and it will appear that she is spinning, up to the point where only her neck and above can be seen. At this point, the PC can still talk to Nova, and she usually just goes up and down and most likely will not stay there for the rest of the game and such.
