Harden Simms

 is Lucas Simms's son in Megaton in 2277.

Background
Harden was born in 2267. His dad named him after Old West outlaw John Wesley Harden.

Daily schedule
He's a good friend of Maggie and is usually seen near Maggie in the mid-morning to late afternoon.

Effects of player actions
He will not say more than a few words to the player unless his father is dead or until after the Megaton bomb's deactivation.

If Lucas Simms is dead when you disarm the bomb, Harden will reward you with a home in Megaton and any caps you requested at the beginning of the quest. Despite his father being dead he shows little emotion about it.

Notable quotes
"You might wear his badge, but you're not my dad."

"You're my hero mister, when I grow up I want to be just like you." (If you have Good Karma and/or disarmed the bomb in Megaton.)

"I'm not allowed to talk to strangers."

Bugs
