Ronald Laren

Ronald Laren is Sierra Petrovita's neighbor in Girdershade. He has on his person a unique sawed-off shotgun called the "Kneecapper". Ronald is obsessed with Sierra and the prospect of bedding her (although he proclaims to the player that she is "nutty as a fruitcake"), and states that the only reason he stays in the obscure little settlement is for her. When asked about the surrounding area, he tells the Vault 101 Dweller to stay away from the nearby Dunwich Building to the south of Girdershade, as he felt there was something very disturbing about the ruin.

Should you accept Sierra's mission to obtain Nuka-Cola Quantum for her, Ronald will attempt to convince you to give all the Quantums to him, so he can win her heart. Should your (female) character have the Black Widow Perk, you can convince him to fetch the Nuka-Cola Quantums for you with the promise of a threesome with yourself and Sierra. Excited, Ronald will run off to the distant Nuka-Cola Plant, resulting in his death(script effect).

If you give the Nuka-Cola Quantums to Ronald, he will attempt to woo Sierra with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer, but she fails to notice his obvious innuendo-laced words and instead interprets his behavior as an imminent marriage proposal.

If you kill Sierra and then speak with Ronald, you have the option of convincing him (with a speak check) that it was at the hands of the Nuka-Cola Corporation. On success, he attributes this to the Nuka-Cola machine he got her, which possessed a warning label declaring that anyone caught tampering with the unit would answer to the Nuka-Cola Corporation.
