Walter (Fallout 3)

Walter, is a citizen of Megaton and runs the Water Processing Plant. He is an old, white-haired man in a mechanic suit.

Tasks
He gives you a minor quest to fix broken pipes around Megaton when you ask "What needs to be done around here?". Once finished with that he would then like you to bring him any Scrap Metal the Player Character finds along his/her journey. He will give you 10 caps per piece, or positive Karma if you refuse to take the caps.

Appearances
Walter appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs
Walter is one of the named Megaton residents who may mysteriously die or disappear when the player is not in the town. On the PC version you can recover him by using console commands described in this guide.

You can quickly fix this despite him being alive or dead (PC Only). Enable console ( ~ ) and write: prid 3b59 kill resurrect disable enable

If this worked, after confirming enable, you should see a brief message (representing his current activity), for example: Walter Picked Package Eat
