Parker Quinn

Parker Quinn is a con man operating near the South Boston Police Department $$

Background
The con artist Parker Quinn is known somewhat around the Commonwealth for his charge card scam. He conducts his operations in an alleyway near the South Boston police precinct, hoping to shake down passing travelers willing to buy his charge card. Quinn claims that he is working with local shops and merchants to introduce a system of credit as a substitute for paying upfront with bottlecaps. He offers the charge card to anyone willing to pay the initial price of 100 caps, plus a 10 cap service fee, stating it is good for use at any vendor in the area, but of course, it is only a scam, as no merchant will accept the card as valid payment. The sole exception of this is Brooks in Far Harbor who is familiar with it and cashes it out for 100 caps.

Other interactions

 * The first interaction with Parker Quinn is a typical salesman back and forth of asking various questions and offering shallow flattery to get to his pitch of selling his charge card. He offers it at 110 caps. Regardless of the Sole Survivor's response to the scam, Parker will end the conversation by calling them a "retard" under his breath.
 * After buying his charge card, the player may pickpocket or kill him to get their money back.
 * However, the charge card can be sold to Brooks in Far Harbor for 100 caps.

Dialogue reactions

 * Various vendors across the Commonwealth react to the charge card negatively.
 * On approaching Sheng Kawolski in Diamond City after having bought the charge card, he will say that Parker has "got another one," and tell the Sole Survivor that they might as well dispose of the card since no trader in the Commonwealth will accept it.

Effects of the player character's actions

 * Similar to the Pillars of the Community, killing Parker does not count as murder, a trait shared by other grifters in the Commonwealth. Thus no companions will react negatively to doing so.
