Mel (Fallout 3)

Mel is a mugger found during the Locked and Unloaded random encounter

Background
Described as a "nervous and ineffectual highwayman," Mel was recently forced out of a mercenary settlement. During the Locked and Unloaded random encounter, Mel will attempt to mug the Lone Wanderer.

With high Perception, the player can point out that his gun is not loaded, causing Mel to leave. With high Intelligence, the player can point out the ridiculousness of a mugger in the Wasteland, stating that a Raider would have shot them already, causing Mel to state that he "wasn't going to shoot" and that he is out of bullets. With high Speech, the player can either threaten him or offer 5 caps to leave the player alone: if he is threatened, he will state that he is "trying to get by out here in the Wastes".
