Ymir (Fallout 3)

 is a slaver at Paradise Falls and father of Jotun. He doesn't have a major role in Fallout 3. He walks and sits around inside Paradise Falls and does not reveal much when asked where he is from. He is equipped with Metal Armor and a Super Sledge.

Whenever you gained access to Paradise Falls without fighting your way in, often can be found when entering the 'food - section' inside Paradise Falls. The first time going there, you will probably see him arguing with the bartender, which results in the bartender getting himself killed. Talking to while he is in the arguement can result in  just walking away after you finish the conversation. This keeps the bartender alive, however, there are no assets or drawbacks to either option. If you ask for his reasoning, he claims the bartender had been watering down drinks so as to encourage patrons to pay for more.

Killing will, just like killing any other named - slaver - character in Paradise Falls, give you positive Karma and turn the whole town hostile to you.

A conversation between and his son can occur, with Ymir praising his son (in drunkness) and hoping he will become the greatest slaver ever. Jotun becomes very embarrassed by this.

It is possible that, due to the metal armor they wear and the cryptic comments that Ymir delivers about his origins, both Jotun and Ymir are from the Pitt. The Pitt Raiders seen attacking Wernher at the beginning of Into The Pitt wear much the same attire.

In Norse mythology Ymir is the ancient being from which the world is created.

Glitches

 * There has been spawning glitches where appears at different places (like Deathclaw Sanctuary). This is a simple spawning glitch and nothing more.
 * When you first see approach Ymir in the food area, he should knock the Paradise Falls bartender's head off for serving him supposedly watered down vodka. If you manage talk to Ymir before he does so, he will walk away from the bartender and never attempt to murder him again. He will however remain in a battle stance and the  bartender will forever face the spot where Ymir had been standing.
