Ronnie Shaw



Ronnie Shaw is a character appearing in Fallout 4. She's a veteran member of the Minutemen who contacts the player at The Castle after the mission Taking Independence.

Background
Ronnie Shaw is one of the few remaining veterans of the Minutemen, and has been around since long before Preston Garvey, Colonel Ezra Hollis or even General Becker.

She explains to the Sole Survivor that, despite Preston's hasty decision to promote them to General, her respect must be earned and isn't going to come just because of a title, as she's seen many Minutemen leaders come and go already. She is presumed to be third-in-command after the Sole Survivor and Preston Garvey.

Quests

 * Old Guns: Ronnie arrives at the Castle, curious about the current state of the Minutemen. She later accompanies the Sole Survivor in accessing the Castle's Armory. Upon completion, Ronnie becomes available as a weapons vendor.
 * Defend the Castle: She can be the one to start the quest, if she is spoken to when arriving to the Castle after completing both Form Ranks and Banished from the Institute. After the battle, she will give a speech to the remaining Minutemen.

Appearances
Ronnie Shaw appears only in Fallout 4.

Bugs
The player may be unable to trade with Ronnie after completing Old Guns, talking to her only opening her inventory (like generic settlers). This bug may happen if the Radio Freedom bug occurred.
 * If this occurs, it is possible to restore her shop functions by assigning her to a constructed weapon shop after using the console command setpv bCommandable 1 to allow you to command her in the workshop view. Fast traveling away from the Castle and back may be required before the console command's effect works, but once it does, she will resume her former dialogue and still offer her unique inventory, including Laser Muskets and The Last Minute.
