Andale

Andale is a location in the southern area of the Capital Wasteland

Background
The inhabitants of Andale comment on winning the "best town in the USA" award for "so many years running that they've lost count." The town has an annual fair, where prizes are given for prepared dishes. Jack Smith introduces the town as "the best little town in Virginia." Despite the war, adults in town vote for and elect governors. Bill Wilson states that Andale is a place to settle down and raise a family, but the "home owners association" dictates who is allowed to live there.

The town was founded by four families who survived the war, resorting to cannibalism when their shelters ran out of food. Jack Smith comments that lived in the town for generations. Old Man Harris warns the Lone Wanderer, telling them to leave the town as soon as they can due to the danger the individuals living here pose to visitors. He states that although it looks normal and everyone is nice, it is only a trick.

Layout
Andale is located directly south of the Fairfax ruins and west of the Nuka-Cola plant. The town is comprised pre-War houses and a shack. They are all located on a street amid the ruins of other homes and a Red Rocket gas station.

Bugs

 * Upon first finding Andale, the residents will be in front of the Smith's house facing towards it. Upon approach, Jack Smith will trigger the dialogue of you snooping around in the basement.
 * After completion of the quest, when fast traveling to Andale, all NPCs stay hunched over and alert, still wielding their knives while walking around, even though they are no longer hostile. Conversation can be initiated, and while speaking, they will stand up straight again, but when they finish speaking, they hunch back over. They are also unable to enter any of the houses at such a time.
