Meg Groberg

Meg Groberg is the leader of the Diehards who returned to Appalachia and the Raiders based at the Crater.

Background
Meg's mother died by suicide in the aftermath of the Great War which gave her the determination to keep surviving in a depressing world. Meg was never a proud American, feeling the country was not worth fighting for, and she was happy when the establishment was destroyed by the War.

At some point before the Scorched Plague entered the Savage Divide, Meg had splintered off from the Diehards and left Appalachia entirely with several other Diehards. During this time, they ventured from Appalachia to the Commonwealth to Washington D.C., raiding and gathering new members along the way. Meg met Johnny Weston, a man who had infiltrated her gang by blending in with the other raiders. When Meg found out that he had simply slipped into the gang, she reacted positively and the two shared drinks. They eventually "shacked up," and continue a physical relationship with each other.

In 2103, Meg returned to Appalachia with her raider group, having grown exponentially in the previous years, to take ownership of the crashed Valiant-1 space station, dubbing it the Crater. It was also upon learning of the residents of Vault 76 having been colonizing the region in the past year that Meg decided it was time to let the Vault Dwellers know that Appalachia belonged to the Raiders and they were taking it back.

After the Brotherhood of Steel returns to Appalachia by way of the Brotherhood First Expeditionary Force, Meg assigns Burke, Pierce, and Sheena to fight and/or sabotage the returning Brotherhood. She believes that the Brotherhood of Steel are dangerous, and the only interaction she desires to have with them is putting bullets in them.

Personality
Meg views the raider lifestyle as necessary in order to get by in their world, feeling it justifies a lot of their actions and that they are still on the "right" path. While she was a member of the Diehards, Meg believed that Margie McClintock's ideal of the pacifist raider life was unrealistic and often disobeyed the Diehards' standing order to not fire unless fired upon.

Despite this, she is shown to be merciful at times, such as sparing Barb's life if she is revealed as the mole, though she chooses not to directly confront Barb, instead dropping hints. As a leader, she hates discrimination, valuing people like the super mutant Gail and the ghoul Lucky Lou. She once said, "Recruitment is better. Kill only for food and supplies." Gnash claims Meg tried to be part of the brutal Cutthroats but did not prove herself to them, resulting in her starting her own gang.

Meg's leadership is controversial and viewed as poor among some Raiders for various reasons, particularly to Lev, Surge, Caleb Fisher and Hal Gleeson; a common complaint is that they feel Meg does not go far enough as a Raider. For example, Lev viewed her as weak, mentioning she would never strike Foundation. This resulted in the formation of Lev's crew. Hal left Meg because he felt he and Johnny would be better off on their own. Rose and Meg are known to have not gotten along; while Rose views Meg as a step above Margie, Rose does not think Meg holds a candle compared to David Thorpe.

Meg highly values her connections to the loyal members of her group; she can be quite trusting and unaware of the dangers of certain people which is shown to have consequences. For example, Ra-Ra played outside Crater with only Gail to watch over her, which nearly killed Ra-Ra due to the lack of better supervision. Meg likes Barb, despite that Barb is a mole cooperating with Lev. Meg is unaware of Lev's plotting and his attempt at killing Lou. During the vault raid, Meg's trust of Johnny results in her bringing him along for the raid; Johnny attempts to secretly murder the Vault Dweller when Meg is not present.

Quests

 * Strange Bedfellows: Meg is first encountered after being summoned by Rose to the Top of the World to meet with the Vault Dwellers. The invitation was per the request of the Overseer, so that her group could be given the vaccine to the Scorched Plague. Meg is hesitant to accept due to her distrust of the vault dwellers. If she is unable to be swayed with Charisma or Intelligence 12+, she offers a compromise: help her lieutenant Aldridge with an attack on the Scorched near the Philippi Battlefield Cemetery and she will consider having her raiders inoculated, while also granting the vault dwellers access to the Crater, Crater watchstation, and Ohio River Adventures, rendering her Raiders no longer hostile to the vault dwellers. When the vault dwellers return with the news that Aldridge and his team were wiped out by the Scorched, Meg finally agrees to have her raiders inoculated. Upon returning with the vaccine, she is initially puzzled to find it comes as a new flavor of Nuka-Cola, but nonetheless accepts it and expresses gratitude to the vault dwellers.
 * Overseer, Overseen: Meg must be spoken to in order to enlist the raiders' help for breaking into Vault 79.
 * Cheating Death: A demolitions expert is needed to break into Vault 79. Meg asks the vault dwellers to find and recruit Lucky Lou, who has gone missing.
 * Fun and Games: Meg asks the vault dwellers to recruit Gail and Ra-Ra for the raid on Vault 79 as she needs some muscle and someone small who can sneak around locked doors via the ventilation ducts.
 * The Ol' Weston Shuffle: Meg asks the vault dwellers to recruit Johnny Weston for the raid on Vault 79 to help deal with the security defenses.
 * Siding with Crater: Meg must be spoken to by the vault dwellers to confirm that they have cast their lot with the raiders for the raid on Vault 79 and not the Settlers.
 * From Russia With Lev: Meg asks the vault dwellers to check on Lou outside Vault 79. After hearing about his attempted murder by Lev, she asks the vault dwellers to root out Lev's mole in the Crater, then find and kill Lev and his gang. She can also be informed about Lev's benefactor Rocco (whether he was spared and convince to flee Appalachia or killed) as well as the identity of the mole, Barb, for minor raider reputation gains.
 * Buried Treasure: Meg and the heist team are gathered outside Vault 79 for the raid. She and Lou stay outside, citing the need to guard the flank and ensure no betrayals are attempted, but she asks the vault dwellers to ensure that Johnny pulls his weight to be deserving of the large cut of the loot that he demands.
 * Secrets Revealed: Meg shows up in the Gold Operations Center near the end of the quest to ensure the vault dwellers follow through with their deal after siding with the Raiders to break into the Vault. Depending whether the gold bullion was distributed as agreed, or the deal was broken in whatever form, she will respond varyingly.

Effects of player's actions

 * Meg can be chosen over Paige and his Settlers for a raid on Vault 79 after telling her the vault is where the United States' gold bullion reserves were stored and could make the Raiders rich beyond their dreams.
 * After the vault raid, if the gold bullion was not distributed according to plan, speaking to Meg will lead her to mention that she had to convince her faction not to start hostilities with the vault dwellers, and although their position in the Crater has fallen somewhat, she would rather have people of their skills on her side rather than as enemies. Choosing a further dialogue option to tell her that Foundation is weak will result in a minor raider reputation gain.
 * Whether or not the Vault Dweller betrays Meg plays minor importance during Property Rights. If she was betrayed, Pierce will not accept the Vault Dweller's status as a raider to be a viable option.
 * If Johnny is killed, Meg is very upset by his death, mentioning she will need time to process it, wondering how sincere Johnny was and if he was just using her and the Raiders all along.
