Pipboy (special encounter)



Pipboy is a special encounter in Fallout Tactics.

In this special encounter you find the famous Vault Boy, called Pipboy here, wandering around a radioactive playground. He speaks in a weird 50's style and carries an FN FAL. If you have full squad, he wanders away when you talk to him. If you have less than that, he joins you.

Pipboy's Abilities: ST 7, PE 6, EN 6, CH 5, IN 6, AG 6, LK 10, level: 8, Bloody Mess, Tag!, Stunt Man, Flexible (useless as he can not change stance), small guns (100), big guns (33), energy weapons (75), sneak (80), can wear any armor.

The reason Vault Boy is called Pipboy here is due to the developer of Fallout Tactics getting confused between Vault Boy (Vault-Tec mascot used on promotional items, billboards etc.) and PIP-Boy which stands for Personal Information Processor (the wrist mounted computer). As a result this encounter is generally considered non-canon and Bethesda Softworks (Fallout 3 developer) returned to Vault Boy afterwards.
