Jacob Hoff

Jacob Hoff is a former chemist living in Freeside in 2281.

Background
Jacob Hoff hails from the the New California Republic. He is a natural at chemistry, who used his talents to homebrew detox chems before he became a junkie himself while working for the Garrets. If he can kick his addiction, he has the potential to be a great asset to Freeside, and continue to create medicine and detox chems for the community.

Detoxing
There are three options for helping Jacob get clean during the quest High Times, once Dixon is no longer selling him drugs:
 * 10 Fixer
 * Science 50, 1 Fixer, 1 Buffout, and 1 Psycho
 * Speech 50 and some encouraging words

Effects of the player character's actions

 * If the Courier helps both Jacob and Bill detox as part of High Times, and also sets up a supply deal between the Followers of the Apocalypse and James Garret through an unmarked quest from Julie Farkas, Jacob will begin supplying purchasable Absinthe and Rum & Nuka to the Atomic Wrangler.
 * He may be encountered, drunk, at the Atomic Wrangler.

Appearances
Jacob Hoff appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
