Paradise Falls



Paradise Falls is a converted strip style shopping mall turned slaver haven in the Capital Wasteland, with business ties to further slave trade in The Pitt. It is a constant source of fear for many of the wasteland denizens.

Background
According to Herbert Dashwood's computer, Paradise Falls' former slaver leaders include Penelope Chase and Harmon Jurley. Harmon Jurley was the leader of Paradise Falls around 2250. In 2277, Paradise Falls is led by Eulogy Jones.

Paradise Falls is guarded by and serves as a home to a cadre of battle-hardened slavers. The inhabitants of Paradise Falls are infamous for their incursions into Big Town, and on rare occasions, into Little Lamplight. The slavers are also known to seize random wastelanders, and the town is frequently mentioned on the Herbert Dashwood program on Galaxy News Radio.

Paradise Falls can be found by traveling almost directly north from Vault 101, Arefu or Vault 106. It is located to the west of Minefield, and is recognizable from a distance by its most prominent landmark, a gigantic statue of a Big Boy-esque mascot holding an ice cream cone.

Layout
Paradise Falls is a roughly square strip mall style compound, protected by makeshift walls of stacked derelict vehicles. The few buildings that are still in use have been converted a bit to suit the slavers' needs.

Once the Lone Wanderer enters through the city bus gate, they can follow a path to the right into the compound. On the left of the immediate entrance is a weapons shop, Lock and Load, and to the right is Cutter's clinic and the slaver barracks. Once in the "main area', on the right is a makeshift bar and grill.

To the left is Eulogy's Pad, a converted movie theater. Further in are the slave pens, and just to the right of those, a single-person Pulowski Preservation shelter that has been refitted into a cruel holding cell named "The Box".

Gaining entrance

 * Speech check and a bribe of 500 caps in return for entry.
 * Accept the Strictly Business quest and capture at least one of the four VIPs.
 * Complete the Head of State quest in favor of the slavers.
 * Fight or sneak your way in (turns slavers hostile).
 * Have evil or very evil Karma and ask 'Do you know who I am?'

Slaves

 * Crimson and Clover, personal slaves of Eulogy Jones.
 * Bronson, Miss Jeanette, Bleak, and Breadbox in the adult's slave pen.
 * Sammy, Squirrel, and Penny from Little Lamplight, in the children's slave pen.
 * Rory Maclaren, in 'The Box'.
 * Carter (running away for a very short time, first arrived at Paradise Falls and he gets his head blown off)
 * Frank (half-slave; bartender. Also is killed).
 * Any slaves (ex. Flak, Red, Susan Lancaster, and Arkansas) that you have captured.
 * Although they are not the targeted slaves, after admittance, you can "mezz" raiders, Enclave personnel and wastelanders with the Mesmetron and send them as slaves to Paradise Falls, whereupon you will get paid for each that survive the trip.

Appearances
Paradise Falls appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes

 * The Vault 77 jumpsuit is a reference to the Penny Arcade comic commissioned by Bethesda Studios and on display at their website.
 * The "Ice Cream Boy" statue is designed after the Big Boy statue.
 * On the pool table in the Paradise Falls Barracks, the glasses are set up to play beer pong, a popular drinking game.
 * Crimson and Clover, the two slave girls, get their names from the song "Crimson and Clover" by Tommy James and the Shondells.
 * In the concept art of Paradise Falls, there are slavers standing over a dead Brotherhood of Steel soldier. The soldier in Paradise Falls is not seen in game.
 * One of the prisoners is overheard saying "ain't nobody can eat fifty eggs.", which is a reference to Cool Hand Luke.

Bugs

 * When you enter Paradise Falls for the first time the skulls on the power-lines will fall to the ground.
 * After killing Cutter, when you open locked first aid box or desk with Cutter's key, you hear the sound "You just can't take that" even though Cutter is dead.
 * It is possible for all of the town's slavers to go hostile for no apparent reason (none had been killed, etc.). This problem may occur if you entered Paradise Falls using your speech skill or negative Karma when talking to Grouse, instead of doing the quest "Strictly Business". If you enslave just 1 of the 4 targets Grouse gives you, this issue should then be fixed.
 * Grouse will attack Fawkes even if you gain access to Paradise Falls even after enslaving 1 of the four VIP targets.
 * Instead of taking just one loading screen to enter Paradise Falls, it takes two loading screens, despite that there is only one entrance.
 * As mentioned above, if you free Arkansas after enslaving him, he will still have his sniper rifle in his inventory and immediately turn hostile to all the other freed slaves.
 * Sometimes, when you walk out of Eulogy's pad, the slavers may become hostile.
 * If you cheat to go to Paradise Falls it is possible you will not be able to ready ANY of your weapons forcing you to load your last save.
