West Residence

The West residence is a location in Fallout 3. It was the home of Ian West's parents before they were killed. No matter the outcome of Blood Ties (whether or not Ian returns home), this house is a viable option for player housing as it has a free bed and storage. The only difference is you may have a roommate.

Blood Ties
During the quest, Blood Ties, the player is asked to check up on each residence in Arefu. Inside the West Residence the player will find a bloody scene. The player will find the parents of the West family slain, apparently by The Family. This discovery leads the player further into the mysterious events happening in Arefu. Depending on the player's choices during the Blood Ties quest, Ian may return to live in Arefu, in which case he will live here. Otherwise the house will stay abandoned.

Layout
A single room shack, inside are a bunk bed and a single bed which can be used even after the Blood Ties quest is completed. There is a dresser for storage and a set of broken shelves with several pots and pans on them. When the player first enters, the bodies of Ian West's parents are on the floor. They are removed when the Blood Ties quest is completed.

Notable loot
Nothing but a few pieces of junk, useful only if you have the Rock-It-Launcher. (Cups, tin cans, eating utensils, whiskey bottles, etc.)

Appearances
The West residence appears only in Fallout 3.
