Andale

Andale is a town in the south of the Capital Wasteland, touted by its residents as the greatest place on Earth. However, it seems that its purportedly inbred population harbors a dark secret. The town's name is a corrupted version of its pre-War name, Annandale, Virginia.

Andale is located directly south of Vault 101. The town is comprised of three intact houses on a street amidst the ruins of other homes.

Two of the host families, the Smiths and the Wilsons, seem to think it's still the pre-war era, while the third house is home to Old Man Harris, who warns you that they're stone cold killers and that you should run while you still have the chance. If you investigate the Smith's basement or shed behind the Wilson house you'll find them filled with dismembered bodies, and fridges full of Strange Meat. Picking the lock on the shed will give you negative karma. After you leave, the adults of Smith and Wilson families will confront you, and you can choose to accept their cannibalism, or condemn them, turning them hostile. If you do the latter, the children will be adopted by Harris, who will reveal more about himself.

However, if you have the Cannibal perk, there will be another dialogue option where you tell them you were "getting a snack." It also appears as a speech check, but only has a 57% chance of working (with speech 100). If you are successful, you will be able to receive a free Strange Meat Pie daily from Linda Smith.

If you pass the speech check by saying it would be rude to take their food, you can afterwards kill the adults and the children will still be taken in by Old Man Harris.

Bugs

 * If you nonviolently resolve the confrontation without using the "getting a snack" line, by saying that you went down/in, and saw bodies, but don't care, the four parents will stand with their weapons drawn outside of either the shed or the house with a basement, forever, and the kids will disappear, and Old Man Harris' house is key-locked.
 * If you engage in combat with the residents of Andale and are using a Railway Rifle, targeting Linda Smith with V.A.T.S. causes the game to freeze and your controller to indefinitely vibrate until the console is turned off. This happens anytime you target someone anywhere with the Railway Rifle.
