Gob

"Gob" Gobtholemew is a Ghoul bartender who works at Moriarty's Saloon in Megaton to repay a debt presumably incurred when Moriarty purchased Gob from Slavers. Gob has been working to repay his debt for 15 years, a struggle since Moriarty, who the locals believe mistreats him, charges Gob for rent and food. Gob - who it is suggested serves as the town's "punching bag" - has a "mother" named Carol who lives in his home town of Underworld, but no other known family.

Quotes

 * "Wait? You're not gonna hit me?  Yell at me?  Not even berate me a little?" - Upon creating friendly dialog with him.
 * "Don't hit me!" - Sometimes after exiting conversation with him

Bugs

 * While yelling at Gob in random NPC to NPC conversation, Moriarty says, "Why d'you think I named you Gob? Because you never shut your gob." Yet, Carol knows exactly who the player means by "Gob."


 * Killing Moriarty will render Gob hostile, even if the kill was entirely undetected. He can be restored to friendly state through the standard action of leaving town and coming back later, or by using certain items (such as using a Stealth Boy or Chinese Stealth Armor to make the kill, and remaining hidden for as long as possible while the commotion dies down) to kill Moriarty.


 * Killing Moriarty may also trigger Gob to disappear. If Gob disappears, simply leave Megaton and come back later; he will be back to bartending as usual. It's best to save the game before killing Moriarty, in case something happens to Gob.
