Rotface

Rotface is a gossiping ghoul beggar residing at Freeside $$

Background
Rotface is sitting against a destroyed building next to Mick & Ralph's, just past Freeside's east gate. He has lived on the streets of Freeside for a long time, so he knows lots of odd information and general gossip. He is even willing to disclose these bits and pieces for a price, of course.

Behind the scenes
According to Rotface's character script, the quest would have had several different additional outcomes. Rotface would have received Eulogy Jones' suit after selling 20 tips to the Courier, and ask them about their opinion on the investment. Based on the response, the next time he was encountered Rotface would buy a gun and attempt to mug the player character, leave Freeside to seek his fortune, join the Followers of the Apocalypse or be murdered by a Freeside thug for his newfound wealth.

Bugs

 * After passing the first speech check for the G.I. Blues quest, the player character is given only one speech option (and cannot leave the conversation without selecting it), which requires the player character to pay an even larger sum in exchange for more information.
 * Despite hearing all of Rotface's tips, he will occasionally not get a hat even after waiting several in-game days.
 * In regards to Eulogy Jones' hat: Rotface's script has a special condition that must be met for the hat to be equipped. There is a variable 'RumorCount' that must equal 10 and cannot go over. The player must request no more than 10 tips, then exit the cell and return. Note: If one counts to 10 by beginning at 1, then RumorCount will only be 9. This is because computers almost always use 0 to begin arrays and lists.
