Bill Sutton

Bill Sutton is a character appearing in Fallout 4. He is the foreman of the Warwick Homestead.

Background
Bill lives at the Warwick Homestead, where he works as a foreman at the farm. According to a note in his inventory, he is a chem addict and alcoholic. Bill once had a wife, son, and daughter, but they left him because he sold their Brahmin for chems and hit his daughter, nearly blinding her.

Unbeknownst to Bill, his wife and children had set up a home at the Taffington Boathouse, only for the entire family to be killed by Bloodbugs when the children disturbed their nest while searching for a pre-war cache of chems to trade for a new Brahmin.

Quests

 * Building a Better Crop: Bill suspects Roger Warwick of being a synth replacement for the real Roger. He sends Cedric Hopton with caps to Goodneighbor to hire a mercenary to deal with Roger. Upon seeing the Sole Survivor make contact with Roger, Bill grows paranoid, which is compounded by the fact that Cedric has not returned. This drives Bill to confront Roger at gunpoint. At this, the Sole Survivor either kills Bill, or convinces him to stand down. If convinced to stop, Bill exiles himself in shame, sitting outside the fence of the Homestead.
 * Bill Sutton (quest): Bill will buy tatos and mutfruit from the player for 2 caps each once the death threatening event concerning him will have been avoided.

Other interactions

 * A random event involving Bill occurs where he jumps in the water, killing himself. The reasons for this can be gleaned from the Goodbye letter in his inventory.

Appearances
Bill Sutton appears only in Fallout 4.

Bugs
A way to prevent this from happening is to send settlers to another settlement prior to the confrontation, or to disable the settlers via the console (PC only). Another workaround is to confront bill at night when all other settlers are sleeping,that way he can leave and sit outside the settlement without interference from the other settlers.
 * If the player has established Warwick Homestead as a settlement before the Building a Better Crop quest is completed, any settlers in the vicinity during or after the confrontation at the end will attack Bill, regardless of choices the player makes.
