Walter (Fallout 3)

Walter is a resident of the settlement of Megaton in 2277.

Background
Walter was born in 2216. He spends his days minding the machines and fixing drainage devices that break. He's increasingly worried about the state of the water and drainage structure, and knows it won't hold much longer - and neither will he. At 61, he's one of the oldest residents.

Daily schedule
During the daytime, Walter can be found in the water processing plant for most of the day, thought sometimes he will step outside for some air. During the night hours, he can be seen drinking in Moriarty's Saloon.

Quests

 * Treatment: Walter will ask the PC to fix all the leaking water pipes around Megaton. When finished, he will give you 200 caps and XP.
 * Walter's Scrap Metal: Upon fixing all the leaking pipes Walter will ask the PC to bring any scrap metal they find, and as reward Walter will give the PC 10 caps per and XP.

Appearances
Walter appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * Like all other Megaton characters, Walter might go missing or turn up dead. See recovering missing NPC in Fallout 3 on how to resolve this issue.
 * When in the Water processing plant you can "drink" from Walter. The action to drink will show for a split second before switching to the normal talk option, timed right you can drink from him and gain HP and a few rads. Although the text is red, you will not incur a Karma penalty by drinking.
