Ymir (Fallout 3)

Ymir is a slaver at Paradise Falls in 2277.

Background
Ymir was born in 2232. Like all the Slavers in Paradise Falls, he feels no remorse or shame for his job and the crimes he commits. As a matter of fact, Ymir is probably one of the most cheerful characters in the Capital Wasteland.

Relationships
Ymir is the father of Jotun.

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.

Killing Ymir at any time results in a Karma gain for the player. Note that this will immediately turn all slavers in Paradise Falls hostile.

Appearances
Ymir appears in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
