Relationships

Effects of player actions

 * When you have gained access to Paradise Falls without fighting your way in, Ymir 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 Ymir while he is in the argument can result in Ymir 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 Ymir for his reasoning, he claims the bartender had been watering down drinks so as to encourage patrons to pay for more.

Appearances
Ymir appears in Fallout 3.
