Bill Sutton

Bill Sutton is the foreman at Warwick homestead in 2287.

Background
Bill lives at the Warwick homestead, where he works as a foreman at the farm. According to a note in his inventory, he is a chem addict and alcoholic. Bill once had a wife, son and daughter, but they left him because he sold their brahmin for chems and hit his daughter, nearly blinding her.

Unbeknownst to Bill, his wife and children had set up a home at the Taffington Boathouse, only for the entire family to be killed by bloodbugs when the children disturbed their nest while searching for a pre-War cache of chems to trade for a new brahmin.

Quests

 * Building a Better Crop: Bill suspects Roger Warwick of being a synth replacement of the real Roger. He sends Cedric Hopton with caps to Goodneighbor to hire a mercenary to deal with Roger. Upon seeing the Sole Survivor make contact with Roger, Bill grows paranoid, which is compounded by the fact that Cedric has not returned. This drives Bill to confront Roger at gunpoint. At this, the Sole Survivor either kills Bill or convinces him to stand down. If convinced to stop, Bill exiles himself in shame, sitting outside the fence of the homestead.
 * Bill Sutton (quest): Bill will buy tatos and mutfruit for two caps each, once the death threatening event concerning him has been avoided.

Other interactions
A random event involving Bill occurs where he jumps in the water, killing himself. The reasons for this can be gleaned from the Goodbye letter in his inventory.

Appearances
Bill Sutton appears only in Fallout 4.

Bugs
