Walter (Fallout 3)

"If folks knew how bad it was getting up here... well... I don't know what would happen."

- Walter

Walter is a resident of the settlement of Megaton in 2277.

Background
Walter was born in 2216. For thirty-five years, he has been working in the Water processing plant, maintaining and repairing the settlement's water purifier. He's increasingly worried about the state of the purifier and knows it won't hold for much longer - and neither will he.

Daily schedule
During the day Walter can be found in the Water processing plant almost all day, and sometimes he will step outside for some air. And during the night hours, he can be seen drinking in Moriarty's Saloon.

Quests

 * Treatment: Walter will ask the PC to fix all the leaking water pipes around Megaton. When finished, Walter will give you 200 caps and XP.
 * Walter's Scrap Metal: Upon fixing all the leaking pipes Walter will ask the PC to bring any scrap metal they find, and as reward Walter will give the PC 10 caps per and XP.

Appearances
Walter only appears in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * Like all other Megaton characters, Walter might go missing or turn up dead. See recovering missing NPC in Fallout 3 on how to resolve this issue.
 * When in the Water processing plant you can "drink" from Walter. The action to drink will show for a split second before switching to the normal talk option, timed right you can drink from him and gain HP and a few rads. Note that the text is red and doing so is considered a crime.
 * If the Bloody Mess perk is activated, Walter may inexplicably explode into giblets, or fall from the sky, exploding on impact with the ground. This may be as a result of his AI directing him to walk from an unprotected balcony, and may or may not be as a result of the bloody mess perk, but has only been reported with this perk in effect.
