Bill Wilson

Bill Wilson is one of seven residents living in Andale, along with his wife Martha Wilson and daughter Jenny Wilson. He is very much a family man with priorities such as looking after his wife and daughter. Whilst these would seem normal and common in the present day, this mindset might seem out-of-place to the Lone Wanderer in the post-nuclear war era. The residents of Andale eventually turn out to have killed others that have other ideologies and use the meat to feed off of, effectively making them cannibals.

Bill is equipped with a Scoped .44 Magnum in good condition, which hits rather hard.

Along with the two Andale children, Bill is the only Andale resident who leaves his house, spending much of the day in front of the shed behind the Wilson house. Unlike most other settlements, Andale is not fortified, so he can (rarely) be attacked by nearby random enemies (Or certain friendlies granted you have the "Animal Friend" perk.) (i.e. Raiders, Radscorpions, or Robots), but often manages to kill them due to his hard-hitting weapon and above-average health.

Interestingly, he expressed that he felt that, "Family comes first, and anyone who doesn't think so should be hit. With a stick." He also has a line if you ask him about what he does, and he responds that any man who doesn't feed their family should be hit with a stick. This perhaps foreshadows the discovery of their behaviors...

Unmarked quest: Our Little Secret
Bill is a cannibal and part of the unmarked quest "Our Little Secret". In the Smith's basement and in the Wilsons' Shed are fridges full of strange meat as well as dismembered bodies. The player can pick the lock on the fridge or steal the key from Bill or from Jack Smith, both resulting in negative karma. Upon leaving Andale they will confront you on their cannibalism. If you confront them about their cannibalism they will attack you. If you accept it you will not be attacked and receive a strange meat pie.

With the Level 12 Cannibal Perk, you get several unique dialogue choices.

Trivia
