James Hargrave

Located at Rivet City, James Hargrave is the fatherless and problematic little son of Tammy Hargrave.

If the player engages James in conversation and brings up the issue about his equally problematic alcoholic mother, he gets angry. This leads to an option for the player to insult and goad James into running away from home (uses Speech skill). If successful this will earn the player Bad Karma and have repercussions -- Rivet City residents and guards will later report that C.J. Young (well-behaved little daughter of the Young family) has gone missing. The player will receive a note on the PipBoy indicating possible responsibility for C.J. going missing because of the encounter with James.

Apparently, despite their contrasting personalities, James Hargrave and C.J. Young are good friends. C.J.'s mother didn't disapprove of their playing together because she felt that James could grow to learn some good qualities from C.J.

One of the female Rivet City guards may tell the player that she has on several previous occasions seen these two children running across the Rivet City Bridge which connects the ship to the dangerous mainland. The player may chance upon this happening if located at Rivet City Bridge in the early morning.

Players with the Child at Heart Perk can ask James to steal ammo for them.
