Background
Wadsworth is a personal robotic butler designed to look after his user and keep them happy and entertained.[1] Wadsworth comes equipped with "condensation collectors" that allow him to supply Purified Water,[2] as well as a "humor emitter array" which allows him to tell jokes.[3] He is also able to provide haircuts and is programmed with a "multitude of hair shaping scenarios."[4]
Publications
“When the resident of Megaton looks to RobCo Industries to furnish them with the finest in mechanized butlers, one admirable choice is the Wadsworth model. With the latest in hair-cutting and “humor array” technologies (sample quip: “War does not determine who is right; only who is left”), and the ability to keep a home looking shipshape and almost presentable, your plastic pal is fun to be with.”— Fallout 3 Official Game Guide/Wasteland Census

Behind the scenes

Bugs
Sometimes if the player is not aligned with Wadsworth's eyes while getting a haircut, half of the player's face will be cut off from the screen. Crouching may result in the screen showing the player's pelvic area.
- Also, if the player is crouched while wearing the Chinese stealth armor, or gets their haircut with a Stealth Boy active, nothing will appear where the player's face would be.
- When speaking with him, it is possible that the combination of the focus-changing animation and his movement may result in the PC occupying the same space as him.
- If you quick save, disintegrate Wadsworth with a critical shot from a plasma weapon, and then reload, he will be reassembled with his body components randomly jumbled.
- Sometimes Wadsworth can get stuck in the ceiling floating above the player's bed and it can be difficult to get him down.
- Sometimes Wadsworth will remain static indefinitely in the house. If he is killed he will never respawn.
