Rory Maclaren is a slave at Paradise Falls in the year 2277.

Background

Quests

 * Rescue from Paradise: As a condition of leaving Paradise Falls, Penny will ask you to escort Rory to the entrance.

 * Once freed, he will travel to Moriarty's Saloon and stand in the room to the right where you find Mr. Burke. When attempting dialogue, he will only say "Hey. Talk fast, they hate it when I talk to customers".

Appearances
Rory Maclaren only appears in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
His line "Can't nobody eat fifty eggs." is a reference to the film Cool Hand Luke.

Bugs

 * If you convince Penny to leave Rory behind he will remain in "The Box". If you unlock the door and speak to him, he will repeat the "Talk fast" dialog.
 * If you have him as a follower but need to leave him behind because you are entering a dangerous area (ie the death claw sanctuary), go to Paradise Falls, go past Grouse and enter the door. He will not follow you inside. When you exit Paradise Falls He will simply stand still if you do not try to talk to him. Go all the way to where Grouse sits before fast traveling. You will not see him again until you go to a friendly area like your Megaton home or Grayditch. He will be unharmed and if you previously reverse pick pocketed stim-paks on him he may heal himself.
 * If you kill the guard to get the key to the box, when you open the box, Rory may be lying dead inside.
