Rory Maclaren

Rory Maclaren is a slave being held in Paradise Falls in the year 2277.

Background
Rory was born in 2247. One of the many slaves held at Paradise Falls, 30-year-old Rory remains here until someone wishes to purchase him. Unlike some of his fellow slaves, Rory is obsessed with escaping and spends every waking minute pondering ways of tunneling, creeping, or bludgeoning his way out of Paradise Falls. He is not about to be pushed around and has assaulted his captors several times. He's been placed permanently in "the Box," where unruly slaves await their fate.

Quests

 * Rescue from Paradise: As a condition of leaving Paradise Falls, Penny will ask the Lone Wanderer to escort Rory to the entrance.

Effects of player's actions

 * Once freed, he will travel to Moriarty's Saloon. Provided he survives, he will stand in the room to the right where Mr. Burke is found. When attempting dialogue, he will only say "Hey. Talk fast, they hate it when I talk to customers."

Appearances
Rory Maclaren appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
His line "Can't nobody eat fifty eggs." is a reference to the film Cool Hand Luke.

Bugs

 * If Rory is following you during Rescue from Paradise it is possible he will continue to do so even after he has reached the Paradise Falls front gates. This can happen by accident, but can be deliberately caused by fast-traveling away from the front gate as soon as possible.
 * If one convinces Penny to leave Rory behind he will remain in "the Box." If the player character unlocks the door and speak to him, he will repeat the "Talk fast" dialogue.
 * If one kills the guard to get the key to "the Box," when you open it, Rory may be lying dead inside.
 * If the player character has Rory follow them and immediately destroy Megaton he will carry on following them with the only dialogue option being 'Hey. Talk fast, they hate it when I talk to customers'.
