Clover

Clover is a joinable NPC in Fallout 3. She can be found in the town of Paradise Falls.

Clover is a slave working for Eulogy Jones. If you tell Eulogy you're looking for a bodyguard he suggests talking to Clover, and if your Karma is Evil or lower he will sell her for 1000 caps (or 500 caps with a high enough barter skill).

Eulogy will tell you Clover is "the craziest girl he's ever seen" and that she'll do anything for whomever holds her leash. Even though you must be Evil to obtain Clover as a follower she will remain loyal (and bored) regardless of subsequent changes to your Karma.

If fired, Clover will return to Eulogy's Pad in Paradise Falls, even if you've killed Eulogy and abolished slavery by wiping out everyone in Paradise Falls. You can re-hire her at any time without having to pay an additional fee, regardless of your Karma.

Equipment
Clover's default equipment includes a Dirty Pre-war Spring Outfit, a Sawed-Off Shotgun with unlimited ammo and a Chinese Officer's Sword. Like all other human NPCs, her default weapons and armor are not accessible to the player.

Clover can wear Power Armor, and is proficient with all weapons. However, she will not use a weapon with a lower DAM rating than her default weapons. Because of this, and her low energy weapon rating, she will not use Hunting Rifles, 10mm Pistols, or basic Laser Pistols but she will use Protectron's Gaze or Smuggler's End.

She will pick up and equip weapons on her own, including a Fatman if she sees one. It would be wise for you "trade" with her and take it away before she finds ammo for it, otherwise she might end up killing you both. Be advised that even giving her a Fatman will not quench her thirst for 'a better gun.'

Total carrying capacity: WG 194.5

Trivia

 * Crimson and Clover is a song by Tommy James and the Shondells, and this may be a reference.

Bugs

 * Many people experience a glitch in the game where Clover will never use any weapon but her sword. No matter what guns she is equipped with She will only ever attack with her sword, despite her tactics being changed to long ranged weapons.


 * Occasionally when the player kills someone Clover will say "Better her than me." She will refer the the person as 'her' regardless of their gender. Star Paladin Cross and Clover say almost the same line. Star Paladin Cross says, "Better him than me.", close to Clover's, "Better her than me." Note: This happens to all NPCs that use this quote including the Tranquility Lane residents if you kill someone with the rolling pin.
