Paulson

 is a non-player character who appears in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta.

About
He is armed with his own unique, scopeless .44 Magnum, called Paulson's Revolver. He wears his own, unique, outfit and a unique Sheriff's Hat.

After he is released from his cryo-sleep, he is obsessed with getting revenge "on every last one of those bastards". When he and the other abductees capture an Alien, he shoots it. After a speech check or using the Black Widow perk you can find out that his reasons for revenge are because he was seperated from his wife and kid.

Following the events of mothership zeta, Paulson leaves the ship to wander the wastes, it is not known if Paulson is an active npc in the capital wasteland.

Appearances
appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on Mothership Zeta.

Bugs
Paulson, like many other characters, has the tendency to hold his .44 Magnum upside down and at a weird angle from his hand. This seems to have no effect on the game.

If brought into the hangar and killed by the aliens, his body will disappear making obtaining his weapons impossible. Note that this may not occur if the finishing blow is critical - the resulting "ash pile" will be lootable.

The developers somehow knew about this and never fixed it. If you go back to the door that you went through into engineering, the bodies will be "teleported" there.
