Drinkin Buddy

Buddy, also called Drinkin' Buddy is a modified protectron located in the basement of The Shamrock Taphouse in 2287.

Stats: Damage Resist 75, Energy Resist 50, Radiation/Poison Nil, some 500 HP, Level 26

Background
Buddy is the result of Patrick Merryweather's attempt to create a robot to dispense cold alchoholic beverages prior to the Great War. Buddy was made by heavily modifying a RobCo protectron, removing the body of the chassis and replacing it with miniaturized brewing equipment capable of flash fermenting mash and producing alcohol quickly. Patrick also cracked a Gwinnett recipe holotape, allowing Buddy to produce Gwinnet pale ale by default as Rexford Hotel, the customer it was made for, was under contractual obligations to only serve Gwinnet Beer.

The terminal used for activating it from its pod gives several warnings it was using hardware unauthorized by RobCo, so warranty was void. Would not have lasted over 200 years anyway.

Effects of player's actions
Buddy is found in the basement of The Shamrock Taphouse. The Sole Survivor can choose to keep him or send him to the Hotel Rexford at the request of Rufus.

Other interactions
He can be given holotapes containing alcohol recipes and makes them to store in his inventory. He can also change regular beers and soft drinks into their ice cold variants granting 35 AP over the usual STR/CHR +1, INT -1; this is done by following the dialog option to request a beer, but instead placing drinks into his inventory. Alternatively, the recipes may also be removed just by trying to talk to him.

Appearances
Buddy appears only in Fallout 4.

 * When you send Buddy on his way to the Hotel he may get stuck and not make it. You can actually travel to him  and see that he is not getting rendered properly.  You can fix this by going to the hotel yourself and using the console type  and then
