Gallows Humor



Gallows Humor refers to an unmarked quest in Fallout 3.

Detailed walkthrough
Talk to some of the members of the Lyons' Pride in the Great Hall after gaining entry to the Citadel. They will tell you about a betting pool to try and guess Gallows' real name. You can ask Knight Captain Gallows about it after hearing about the bet. If your speech skill is high enough, you can convince Gallows to tell you his real name. After you find out his name you should speak to Paladin Glade, who is running the betting pool. Glade can be found near Gallows in the Great Hall in the A Ring area. Gallows tells you his real name is "Irving", and asks that he just be left alone.

Reward

 * The reward is the current betting pool, which has risen to 1000 caps.

Behind the scenes

 * "Gallows humor" is a type of humor that arises from stressful, traumatic, or life-threatening situations; often in circumstances such that death is perceived as impending and unavoidable. It is similar to dark comedy but differs in that it is made by the person affected.
 * This side quest is another reference to the film Saving Private Ryan, which is centered around a squad of WWII soldiers led by Captain Miller (played by Tom Hanks). Some members of his squad have a betting pool to try and guess what Captain Miller's job was before the war, something he himself refuses to divulge.
