Rory Maclaren

Rory McLaren is a slave at Paradise Falls.

Rescue from Paradise
In order to get Penny to leave, he will ask that you escort him to the entrance. Once you finish escorting him he will go to Moriarty's Saloon and stand in the room to the right where you find Mr. Burke. When you try talking to him he says "Hey. Talk fast, they hate it when I talk to customers." He may also stop at the entrance to Paradise Falls, saying the same when talked to. Either way he seems to be bugged or the developers simply forgot to give him a purpose (and gratitude) after rescuing him.

If the Vault 101 Dweller becomes hostile against the residents of Paradise Falls, Rory will automatically just fall to the ground and die. If the player wishes to gun his or her way out of Paradise Falls, this problem can be solved by setting him free when asked by Penny to save him, during the Rescue from Paradise mission. Leading him to the far back corner of the children's pen, and having him wait while you decimate the slavers will help getting him out of Paradise Falls alive. He is not much use during the very intense firefight that ensues, even when reverse-pickpocketing weapons onto him.

If you successfully saved him during Rescue from Paradise quest, and he began following you everywhere resulting from a bug, it is possible to use him as a join able character. There's no way of healing him and the only way to give him equipment is by reverse-pickpocket, which will result a small karma loss and may randomly turn him hostile. He can use Shishkebab and prefers it over Combat Shotgun. As with most NPC's, he can be rendered essential. You can find his base ID by typing "save Fred 1" (with out the quotes) and look for his entry in the first section.
