Vault-Tec-Vertreter

 

“Congratulations on being prepared for the future!”

Der Vault-Tec Vertreter war 2077 ein von der Vault-Tec Corporation beauftragter Vertreter, der von Tür zu Tür ging um Bewohner für die Vault anzuwerben. Während des großen Krieges wurde er ghulifiziert und ließ sich irgendwann von 2287 im Hotel Rexford in Goodneighbor nieder.

Hintergrund

Vor dem Großen Krieg

Er war dafür verantwortlich vor dem großen Krieg für Vault Tec die ausgewählten Familien über ihren Platz in Vault 111 zu benachrichtigen und zu registrieren. In den letzten Stunden bevor die Bomben fielen, machte er seine Runde in Sanctuary Hills. Nachdem er sie mehrere Male nicht angetroffen hatte benachrichtigte er auch die Familie des einzigen Überlebenden, darüber, dass sie durch Nates treuen Dienst für die Vereinigten Staaten im Sino-Amerikanischen Krieg für die Vault ausgewählt wurden.

Als die Sirenen den Atomschlag ankündigten, versuchte er den Offizier, der das Tor zur Vault bewacht zu überzeugen ihn auch in den Bunker seines Arbeitgebers zu lassen. Da er es mit Gewalt versuchen wollte, drohte ein Soldat in Powerrüstung das Feuer zu eröffnen, wodurch er vor dem Tor blieb, als die Bomben detonierten.

Für seine Bemühungen die lokalen Anwohner für das Vault-Experiment zu rekrutieren, sollte er eine Packung Steakmesser erhalten. Durch die verheerenden Auswirkungen des großen Krieges ist dies jedoch nie geschehen.

Nach dem Großen Krieg

Despite being unable to secure a spot inside Vault 111, the Vault-Tec rep had managed to survive nuclear armageddon. Surprisingly to him, the radioactive fallout had transformed him into a ghoul. The next 200 years would proved rather troubling for the former salesman, years of dealing with oppressive wastelanders and anti-ghoul bias had left him a grief-stricken refugee, who felt depressed. This was contrary to the cheerful, but conscious demeanor the rep had possessed prior to the War. He was forced to live as a drifter and vagrant, squatting in local communities, where he was constantly taunted and threatened by local residents. The rep had to negotiate through unfavorable hardships just to survive.

Eventually, the former Vault-Tec salesman discovered Goodneighbor, soon after being denied residence in Diamond City. This urbanized community located right in the heart of downtown Boston, had passed local laws protecting ghoul rights. Welcomed by the inhabitants of the community, he checked in to a room at the Hotel Rexford, where he has been taking refuge right up until his meeting with the Sole Survivor.

Quests

• Krieg bleibt immer gleich - Wenn man mit dem Vault-Tec Vertreter spricht kann man seine S.P.E.C.I.A.L.-Werte auswählen und seinem Charakter einen Namen geben.
• Vertraute Gesichter - Man kann ihm eine Heimat anbieten und einer Siedlung zuweisen.

Sonstige Interaktionen

• When the Sole Survivor talks to him about Vault 111, he will say that he didn't know anything about the Vault's cryogenic stasis and that he was supposed to "win a pack of steak knives," a reference to the popular stage play and film Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet. The knives were, ironically enough, the second place prize in the sale contest.
• Piper and MacCready like recruiting the Vault-Tec rep. Hancock, Strong, and Cait dislike recruiting him. Danse will hate it if you recruit him.
• Cait "loves" when answering his question with "blood of your enemies."
• He can be assigned as a level 4 merchant for the trading emporium and will start selling rare junk items, such as the clean broom, military ammo bag and military grade duct tape. He also sells a unique armor piece, the Apocalypse left greave.
• If recruited and sent to a settlement, the Vault-Tec rep will say lines about how Vault-Tec kept him in the dark about their experiments.
• After being sent to a settlement, he will continuously repeat similar dialogue sentences about his hardships over the years, the Sole Survivor having it easy and that things will be looking up.

Notizen

• The Wednesday, October 6th service log at the Red Rocket truck stop mentions him as being an "uppity asshole."
• The suit he wears is grime-free after two centuries.
• He is one of the few ghouls in the Commonwealth that has hair (like Daisy in Goodneighbor) even after hundreds of years. Removing his fedora hat from his inventory will give a better view of his hair.
• In his room at the Hotel Rexford are few possessions, one of which is a battered clipboard on a desk. Quite possibly a reference to the one he carried when visiting the Sole Survivor at the House of Tomorrow during the pre-War introduction and used for the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. selection.
• He is not "protected" like other settlers and can be killed during settlement attacks.

Bemerkenswerte Zitate

• „You see, Vault-Tec is foremost builder of state of the art underground Fallout shelters. Vaults, if you will.“
• „Congratulations on being prepared for the future!“
• „I AM Vault-Tec!“
• „I'm reporting this!“
• „Well I had to get to the future the hard way. Living through the...filth! The... decay! And the bloodshed!“

From The Art of Fallout 4, for character gen storyboards in the preproduction chapter, "The rep looks like Fredo Corleone, smooth but obviously nervous."

Fehler

• He can get stuck in a dialog loop and repeat the line "You're going to come visit, right?" forever. This makes it impossible to purchase items from him. The bug appears to randomly fix itself after an amount of time.^[bestätigt]
• He, as well as other recruitable settlers, may fail to appear in the specified settlement.^[bestätigt]
• After being sent from Goodneighbor to Sanctuary Hills, it may not be possible to assign him to a shop or any other task. Before sending him to another settlement, one should check whether Sanctuary Hills still appears in the settlement list. If this is the case,assign him to Sanctuary Hills again and the problem should be solved. ^{[Prüfung überfällig]}
• Upon initial arrival to Sanctuary Hills, he may be nonassignable. By initiating a conversation the player character may be offered a chance to inquire if he'd like a job. The settlement assignment dialog will appear. If the player character elects to send him to Sanctuary Hills and he does not appear, he may be moved to the settlement via the console after which he will be assignable.^{[Prüfung überfällig]}
• Similar to above, he will not be assignable to any trading stand, even though the dialog to accept a job does appear. Attempting to assign him through Workshop mode does not work either, he can only be assigned to a supply line.^{[Prüfung überfällig]}
• When putting him on a supply line, his head becomes invisible and then reappears after you quit and continue your game.^{[Prüfung überfällig]}
• He can also get bugged if assigned to a Trader shop or similar, where his dialog will only be a looped generic dialogue every time one tries to get him to open shop dialog, which is impossible as long as he's assigned. It doesn't seem to correct itself either after multiple visits over in-game weeks nor will he greet the Sole Survivor.^{[Prüfung überfällig]}
  • This may be fixed using the console. Halfway through the conversation, open the console, select the Vault-Tec rep, use Vorlage:Console and then right after that Vorlage:Console.^{[Prüfung überfällig]}
• He may not appear at the shop he was assigned to. The Sole Survivor will need to assign another role for him and trade a few items before assigning him back again.^{[Prüfung überfällig]}Vorlage:Pn

• When trying to assign him to any assignable task, instead of assigning the representative, he will move to the object and stand next to or inside of it.^[bestätigt]
  • This appears to be caused by him not being counted as a settler, one fix for this is to send him to a different settlement, then send him back to whatever settlement you want him at.
• After he arrives at Sanctuary, player initiates dialog, and he responds to the offer of a job with "are you yanking my chain again?", afterwards he hangs around in Sanctuary, makes small talk, but is not available as a settler for assignment or movement. ^[bestätigt]
  • This can be fixed in one of several ways:
    • Sleep in a bed for 24 hours
    • Entering the following console commands: Vorlage:Console, Vorlage:Console, Vorlage:Console, Vorlage:Console, Vorlage:Console, Vorlage:Console, Vorlage:Console, Vorlage:Console
