Melody



Melody is a child slave at The Fort in 2281.

Background
Melody is a child slave owned by the Caesar's Legion. Not much is known about how she became a slave or her life beforehand, but considering her hesitant personality it can be assumed that she is treated badly by the Legionaries. Antony took her toy bear in an act of cruelty and gave it to his dogs. Melody can be found in the brahmin pen at Fortification Hill, presumably tasked with tending them.

Quests

 * Saving (or Savaging) Sergeant Teddy: The player can ask if she needs any help with anything, to which she will respond that Antony took Sergeant Teddy away.

Other interactions

 * When first talking to her she's very hesitant to talk to the player, but after a Speech check (50), she'll be more open to the player character. A low Intelligence option is also available to get her to talk (3 or less Intelligence).

Appearances
Melody appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Bugs
Melody may not appear at all after reaching a certain point in the storyline. This may be if you've fought in the Arena, in which case she can be at the other side of the drawbridge gate. Even by not fighting in the arena yet killing every Legion including Caesar, Melody from this point will tell something but not open dialog with the player anymore, meaning you get stuck with her teddy bear in your inventory as markquest.
 * If you got the bear and Melody stuck behind drawbridge - you can fix this by opening the console, typing 'prid 00122b98' to target her, then 'moveto player' to place her at your location. Doing this in the brahmin pen will make her walk back to her proper spot.
 * To fix Melody stuck behind drawbridge jump on the boxes next to Antony and Lupa (if still alive), then on two wall parts on the right, and try to jump over the wall. After that go to drawbridge gate, jump on the wall parts to pass through the rock. Use 3rd person camera to use drawbridge gate to enter Caesar's part of The Fort again. Now Melody should be next to the brahmin she takes care about.
