Barney Black, a.k.a. Barney the Barbarian, is an inhabitant of Vault 13 in 2161 and a possible identity of the Vault Dweller.
Background[]
The younger brother of Arnold Black, Barney is even bigger and stronger than Arnie, but is far less intelligent. Sometime in his past, he picked up the handle "Barney the Barbarian" - it may have had something to do with the way he once came through the door at mealtime, forgetting to open it first.[1]
Notes[]
- Barney is designed to provide a combative approach to solving the conflict in the game, similar to Max Stone.
- He is also the only example of a low intelligence character among all other prefab characters.
- It is impossible to accurately re-create Barney in the actual game. If tried, one will lack 3 points while setting his primary statistics.
Appearances[]
Barney Black is one of the bonus Fallout prefab characters featured in Fallout Official Survival Guide.
Behind the scenes[]
Like his brother Arnie, Barney is most likely a reference to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Unlike Arnie, Barney seems to be a reference to another character played by Schwarzenegger - Conan the Barbarian.
