Gob

Gob is a Ghoul bartender who works at Moriarty's Saloon in Megaton to repay a debt presumably incurred when Moriarty purchased Gob from Slavers. Gob has been working to repay his debt for 15 years, a struggle since Moriarty, who badly mistreats him, charges Gob for rent and food. Gob - who it is suggested serves as the town's "punching bag" - has a "mother" named Carol who lives in his home town of Underworld, but no other known family. Throughout the game there are hints that he is in a secret relationship with Nova.

Quotes

 * "Wait? You're not gonna hit me? Yell at me? Not even berate me a little?" - Upon creating friendly dialog with him.
 * "Don't hit me!" - Sometimes after exiting conversation with him.
 * "See you soon drunkie." - After buying from him.
 * "Yeah, enjoy... dick." - when asked to buy a drink after being offensive to Gob.

Bugs

 * While yelling at Gob in random NPC to NPC conversation, Moriarty says, "Shut yer gob, Gob! Ain't that why I named you that to begin with? Cause you talk too goddamn much?" Yet, Carol knows exactly who the player means by "Gob."


 * Killing Moriarty will render Gob hostile, even if the kill was entirely undetected. He can be restored to friendly state through the standard action of leaving town and coming back approximately 3 days later, or by using certain items (such as using a Stealth Boy or Chinese Stealth Armor to make the kill, and remaining hidden for as long as possible while the commotion dies down) to kill Moriarty.


 * Killing Moriarty may also trigger Gob to disappear. If Gob disappears, simply leave Megaton and come back later; he will be back to bartending as usual. It's best to save the game before killing Moriarty, in case something happens to Gob.
 * If the player manages to complete the Galaxy News Radio quest without ever stepping foot into Moriarty's Saloon, Gob will still complain about the radio's reception upon entry to which Nova replies, "I told you Gob, it ain't the radio...it's Galaxy News. Their signal's been shit lately." Perhaps just an oversight on the creators' part.
