Clover

Clover is a possible companion in Fallout 3.

Location
Clover is a female slave bodyguard working for Eulogy Jones, the leader of the slavers in Paradise Falls. If the Vault Dweller's karma is evil enough, a dialogue option with Eulogy will be available to inform him that the player is in the market for a bodyguard. Eulogy suggests Clover, insisting that she's "the craziest girl he's ever seen" and that she'll do anything for whoever holds her leash. He offers to sell her to the player for 1000 caps (or 500 caps with a high enough Barter skill).

Even though the player must be evil to obtain Clover as a follower, she will remain loyal, though bored, regardless of subsequent changes to karma.

If fired, Clover returns to Eulogy's Pad in Paradise Falls, even if the player has killed Eulogy and abolished slavery by wiping out everyone in Paradise Falls. She can be re-hired at any time, regardless of karma, without having to pay an additional fee.

Equipment
Clover's default equipment includes a Dirty Pre-war Spring Outfit, a Sawed-Off Shotgun with unlimited ammo and a Chinese Officer's Sword. Like all other human NPCs, her default weapons and armor are not accessible to the player.

Clover can wear Power Armor, and is proficient with all weapons. However, she will not use a weapon with a lower damage rating than her default weapons. Because of this, and her low energy weapon rating, she will not use Hunting Rifles, 10mm Pistols, or basic Laser Pistols but she will use Protectron's Gaze or Smuggler's End.

She will pick up and equip weapons on her own, including a Fatman if she sees one. In this case, it would be wise for the player to "trade" with her and take it away before she finds ammunition for it, otherwise she might end up killing herself and the player with it. Be advised that even giving her a Fatman will not quench her thirst for 'a better gun.'

She loves the shishkebab & scoped magnum. If equipped with the Shishkebab, she will use it exclusively, regardless of more effective weaponry in her inventory.

Clover can carry a total of 194.5 pounds.

Trivia

 * Crimson and Clover is a song by Tommy James and the Shondells, and this may be a reference.

Bugs

 * Many people experience a glitch in the game where Clover will never use any weapon but her sword. No matter what guns she is equipped with She will only ever attack with her sword, despite her tactics being changed to long ranged weapons. This can sometimes be remedied by telling her to switch to a melee weapon, then telling her to switch back to ranged weapons.


 * She may drop the weapon she has equipped and switch to another. You can pick up her dropped weapon and give it back to her, but it can be easy to miss. So it would be wise not to trust her with any rare weapons.
