Other interactions

 * If you engage James in conversation and bring up the issue about his equally problematic alcoholic mother, he gets angry. This leads to an option for you to insult and goad James into running away from home (uses Speech skill). If successful he runs away with C.J. Young; they can be found at Anacostia Crossing Station and be sent back home. It is even possible to "find" him before he runs out of the room. There is no reward for doing this, aside from negative karma if the player declines to take them home.
 * Players with the Child at Heart perk can ask James to steal ammunition for them. He will give the player a random amount of ammunition of a random type once every 12 hours. There is no karma penalty.

Effects of player actions

 * If you kill or enslave his mother and then ask about his family he will answer, "Dead. Some asshole like you killed them."

Notable quotes

 * "Hey, CJ, lets play killer. You'll be my mom, and I'll be a serial killer."
 * "Mom, can I go to CJ's?"
 * "Is that good enough for you, asshole?"
