Robert Joseph MacCready



Mayor MacCready is the mayor of Little Lamplight. He is a young, profane-mannered child with a no-nonsense attitude. He is armed with an assault rifle, and when the Player and MacCready first meet, he threatens to "blow your fuckin' head off."

MacCready came to power shortly after the five-minute rule of Princess. According to Sammy, when Princess demanded the title of Mayor to be changed to Princess, MacCready punched her in the nose and said that the children of Lamplight needed a leader, not a princess. He was then elected to Mayor.

Lucy directs you to talk to MacCready if you want to trade for some Cave Fungus, which is a radiation medicine and food. MacCready will make you a deal to trade it for Buffout or Strange Meat if you have the Child At Heart perk, or if your speech is high enough, he can be intimidated into giving you his private stash of 10 fungi. (You will lose karma for this option, and he states that you shouldn't expect any good will in town after that, and he no longer discusses trading for more.)

Appearances
Mayor MacCready appears in Fallout 3.
