Wastelander (Fallout 3)

Wastelanders is a general term used for human and ghoul inhabitants of the Wasteland -- as opposed to people living in the more civilized post-War settlements -- in 2277.

Background
Some will not want to open dialog and tend to be rude, while others are pleasant and friendly toward the Lone Wanderer. They may be found as captives of super mutants or even as escaped slaves. Some can also be outright hostile, either before initiating conversation or immediately after ending conversation. Some of them may also sell you goods or repair items.

Daily schedule
Althought most wastelanders appear in random encounters, some can be found in fixed locations such as:
 * There is a wastelander and his dog in a camp east of Arefu.
 * A wastelander and his dog are at the concrete treehouse.
 * There's one at Lucky's.
 * Another can be found at the scavenger's dock.
 * One at scavenger's bridge. He has 2 dogs.
 * One wastelander is the unlucky target of the claw aboard Mothership Zeta.

Notable quotes

 * "Let me be blunt. Go away."
 * "I can see you can't take a hint, get out of my face!"

Appearances
Wastelanders appear only in Fallout 3, although the word wastelander is used in Fallout 2, and characters that can be considered wastelanders appear throughout the series.
