Robert Joseph MacCready is the mayor of Little Lamplight in Fallout 3.
Background
Robert MacCready was born in the Capital Wasteland.[1] He grew up as orphan and lived at Little Lamplight,[2][1] a settlement populated entirely of children, where adults were barred entry.[3] At the age of ten, MacCready learned how to use sniper rifles, developing into a skilled sharpshooter.[4] He served as mayor of Little Lamplight, a position he earned by punching the previous mayor in the face.[5][6]
Publications
“He has served as the mayor of Little Lamplight for two years (since he was 10), when he was chosen by the other residents due to his smarts, toughness, and the fact that he doesn’t take guff from anyone. He has no fear of adults and is a perfect representative. He is belligerent, small (even for his age), very distrustful of adults, and willing to blow someone’s head off to defend his young charges, but MacCready is also very loyal to those he considers friends.”— Fallout 3 Official Game Guide/Wasteland Census

Notes
Speaking to MacCready in quick succession too many times will result in him ignoring the player, telling the Lone Wanderer to leave Little Lamplight. Although one can still talk to him later on, they must wait twenty-four hours to end the silent treatment.
Quotes
- "Just give it a shot, mungo. You'll see plenty of my adult-sized stones when I'm pissing on your grave."
- "Of course, I've kept this place going strong for three years. To most of these kids, that makes me Mayor For Fucking Life. Fine by me, I say."
- "Don't take another step, or we'll blow your fucking head off!"
- "Stay in line and everything'll be a-oh-fucking-kay."
- "Stay away, mungo, I don't wanna catch old from you!"
- "Mungo, mungo, smells like dung-o!"
- "You can go take a hike, you insane mutant-fucker. Get out of my town!"
Bugs
Mayor MacCready is prone to disappearing. He tends to wander into obscure and dark corners. He may appear near the front gate if going outside and fast travel back to town, or standing on the platform where he first stood when he let the Lone Wanderer into town. One can move to his current position with the console command player.moveto 0000313b.- Sometimes MacCready will not give the option to open the gate. One way to make sure that this does not happen is to click all of the grayed out speech options when speaking to MacCready. The dialogue option to open the gate comes after a line that is often grayed/dimmed.
- It's possible for MacCready to not open the gate after being instructed to do so. He will run to it, and climb up to the catwalk but will not activate the switch to raise the gate. This is because the scripted sequence requires Princess to be on the other end, and she may not run with MacCready to perform this function. Short of using the console to activate the gate/toggle clipping, the solutions are to use the other entrance, reload from a previous save, or attempt to move Princess in range of the event with the console command prid 000185d5 followed by moveto player.
- Doing DLC quests before opening the path will end "Picking Up the Trail" resulting in MacCready's and Joseph's dialogue options to vanish and making entry into Vault 87 impossible. The only solution is to resort to a save that still has "Picking Up the Trail" as an active quest, and redo whatever progress has been lost or to use the console command ResetQuest 00014e8c and go to the Citadel to start the quest again.
