Shorty (Fallout 3)

Shorty is one of the residents of Big Town $$

Background
Despite being of short stature, Shorty's nickname actually originates from his bad temper, with his neighbors in Big Town calling him "Short-T." .

Even as a child in Little Lamplight, he did not believe the fantastical stories about Big Town, but did not want everyone he knew to go there without him. His current feelings on Big Town are summed up by his sarcastic answer when asked about Big Town's origins, stating that a Super Mutant likely sat down in a ditch and "shat" it out.

The Lone Wanderer first encounters Shorty in the basement kitchen of the Germantown police HQ, where he is being held captive, soon to become a super mutant meal.

Daily schedule
If he was rescued in Big Trouble in Big Town, Shorty can usually be found wandering around Big Town, sometimes guarding the center of town. From 7am to 9am and 7pm to 11pm, he can be found eating in the Town Hall. He sleeps on a mattress in the Clubhouse from 11pm to 7am.
