You're a bit parched and hungry too.

You have:
1 power map
1 Pip-boy (can be used to access complicated computers)
1 set of leather armor (89% condition)
1 laser pistol (97% condition)
80 energy cells
3 Brahmin steaks (Sorry Jai)
10 purified waters
5 apples
200 caps(bottle caps, used as currency)

You walk up the hill and see:

That the road leads to a collapsed bridge over a river, that the old man in the house along the road has went back into his home, and that it seems to be mid-day.

I think we should visit that old man (and rape him)

You walk down the hill and down the road to the old mans house and stand in front of it.

A. Knock on door
B. Try to open door
C. Continue down the road to the bridge

A. Knock on door.

(and yes, I will accept being VIP poster and make responsible decisions therefore)

You knock on the door. A slit opens up in the door and you see two eyes peering at you from it.
"What do you want exclaims the old man"
A. Say what you want to say
B. Leave

A: Hi. May I come in? I have food, but I'd like something warm. I can pay, and hey, looks like you could use some company.

He says "alright, don't see anything wrong with that. Will have to wait for the hot meal though, the Yao Guai (mutated bear) roast me and my wife are making will take a bit". He proceeds to open the door and welcome you in.

A. Walk in
B. Walk away
C. Pull out weapon and start combat
(Killing and robbing people will come back to hit you in the donkey , karma works here)

B pull away

That Yao Guam has surprisingly Human like fingers and you really don't want to be next on the menu

*Walk in, Look for any possible valuables in the building, ask him what the area is like, tell him about the bandits who attacked you, ask him how well armed he is in case of a bandit attack.

Edit: WTF, NLR? Whats the point of leaving now? How stupid is that?


Anyway, my response to whatever MGSB says next is to knock on his door again and ask him whether or not his offer of hospitality still stands, and then look above ^*

(Edit: WTF, NLR? Whats the point of leaving now? How stupid is that?

It's a shack in the middle of nowhere in the fallout universe and two people have invited you in nicely for food.

That's serial killer as fuck')

(Yao Guai is mutated bear)
You walk back up to house, enter and look around

The house is small. There is a rifle on the wall hanging there. A small elderly woman is cutting up a Yao Guai roast. She has long white/blonde hair. You look more closely at the old man, and see his clothes are very basic and probably made out of Brahmin skin (no offense Jai).

"So, could we talk about that fee before you eat?" Says the old man.

(They're poor and you offered to pay them for some hot food, that doesn't sound very serial killer-ie, does it? Also they live outside of a Enclave base, if they were serial killers that house would be a pile of burned rubble)

"Well, i was thinking around 15 caps. Say how well do you know the local geography?"

"First I'd like to ask some questions. One is how do you survive out here with all the robbers. Second is, do you know anything about the area. And I think 5 caps is a pretty reasonable fee, if it includes all the info I need. I can also help you with any problems you have, if you want."

Edited 3/21/2016 00:54:13

(Going with Genghis's response, you ought to copy your response and refresh before you answer, T)

"15 caps? Sounds alright young man. The local geography? Now I've talked to your Enclave folk before, and from what I know of you guys your power maps are pretty nifty. They ought to be able to tell you just about all you need to know about the local geography. Now, the people in the area? That's another story"

His wife and him set the table and serve you a large slab of Yao Guai meat and some water in a glass. They also sit down and start to eat , and you do too.

A. Ask question
B. Finish meal

"What do you people do to get by? "

At the same time, take a peek at the power map if we can (god that name is so gay)

"Oh I hunt and trap animals. Sometime traders come by , but they've been doing it less since the NCR came into the south and recently into Portland. More money to be made trading with the NCR merchants I suppose. The bandits have been becoming less of a problem, due to them trying to attack NCR troops and getting knocked out of commission."

You look at your power map, and notice that far to the east of Oregon is a place called Chicago. What's a Chicago? Anyways , zooming in on Oregon reveals some information about Portland. It's outdated , but clearly shows that the downtown of if it is a wealthy merchant district with businesses , casinos and hotels. The outskirts of it are dilapidated, and mostly ghetto-slum type places.

A. Ask more things
B. Finish dinner

A, what do you know about the NCR?

"The NCR? Oh they're a big country to the south, in New California. They're rich, powerful, and have a capable military. They've defeated the Enclave, Brotherhood, and a bunch of Barbarians in Arizona. They came into Oregon with the intentions of annexing it. Their troopers are not trained well, but most don't really need to be since they're organized well. You can see them every once in a while patrolling to the west in squads of ten to twelve troopers. They tend to go into battle against raiders with hundreds of soldiers though, and I heard one battle had more than a thousand troopers in it, with the brotherhood being severely outnumbered. It was in some place called the Mogavee. Oh and I got my rifle from a company that came with the NCR. They're called the gun runners. Great folk, they came through selling weapons, ammunition and armor. Great weapons. Built a building to sell weapons in a town a little to the north."

A. Ask question
B. Finish food

A, "Anything else you know about this area thats important?"
