Paradise Falls

Paradise Falls, a converted shopping mall found in Fallout 3, is a hub for nearly all Slaver activity in the Capital Wasteland and a constant source of fear for all its denizens. Led by Eulogy Jones, who regulates the purchase and selling of slaves, Paradise Falls is populated mainly by battle-grizzled, fearless slavers who have absolutely no qualms with the profitable business of slavery. Paradise Falls is infamous for its unabated incursions into Big Town, and into Little Lamplight on rare occasions. It is implied during The Pitt, that all the slaves are taken to The Pitt. Paradise Falls is heavily guarded by its Slaver inhabitants, all of whom are armed with weapons and are not reluctant to use them. Paradise Falls is also often featured on the Daring Dashwood program on Galaxy News Radio.

Paradise Falls can be located by traveling nearly directly north from Vault 101 or Vault 106. It is north of Arefu and west of Minefield, and is recognizable from quite a distance by its most prominent landmark: a gigantic statue of a Big Boy-esque mascot holding an ice cream cone.

Gaining entrance

 * The player can gain free entrance through conversation, provided a low Karma.
 * With a Speech check, the player can convince the guard to accept a bribe of 500 caps in return for entry.
 * Accept the Strictly Business quest and capture at least one slave.
 * Complete the Head of State quest in favor of the slavers.
 * If all else fails, the player can simply fight a path in; this will, however, turn the entire town (except for the slaves and the Brahmin) hostile. By talking to Sammy before entering the main part of the camp, you can accept the Rescue from Paradise quest.

Behind the scenes

 * The Vault 77 jumpsuit is a reference to the Penny Arcade comic commissioned by Bethesda Studios and on display at their website.


 * The spiky ball-shaped sign reading "Paradise Falls" in the shopping center is modeled after the sign that stood at Satellite Shopland, a small shopping center down the street from Disneyland in Anaheim, California. In the concept art at the top of the page, the sign is depicted exactly like the real-life Anaheim sign, reading "SATELLITE" instead of "Paradise Falls". Other real-life landmarks that can be seen in the concept art but did not make it into the real game are the sign from the original Edwards Cinemas in Costa Mesa, California, and the Unisphere and Sermons from Science Pavilion from the 1964 New York World's Fair.


 * Paradise Falls is the name of a television show.


 * Paradise Falls is the name of the setting for the movie, Up.


 * The "Ice Cream Boy" statue may be designed after the mascot for the "Big Boy" franchise of restaurants.
 * In the Paradise Falls Barracks, the glasses are set up to play beer pong on the pool table.

Bugs

 * It is possible for all of the town's Slavers to go hostile for no apparent reason (none had been killed, etc.). This problem may occur if you entered Paradise Falls using your speech skill or negative karma when talking to Grouse, instead of doing the quest "Strictly Business". If you enslave just 1 of the 4 targets Grouse gives you, this issue should then be fixed. (confirmed on PC, Xbox 360)


 * Sometimes a Yao Guai can be found in the track leading up to Paradise Falls killing Grouse and the slaver at the front entrance. (confirmed Xbox 360)
 * Like the bug above, an enclave soldier may spawn near the gate to Paradise Falls. (Confirmed, PC)
