This character can be enslaved with the Mesmetron.
Quests[]
Plik's Safari: Humboldt will fight along side the Lone Wanderer during the "safari."
Effects of player's actions[]
Jacob accompanies the Lone Wanderer during the Plik's Safari quest and helps fight off the feral ghouls. He may die during the safari unless he is reverse-pickpocketed with better weapons and armor, or is protected by the Lone Wanderer. If he survives the initial safari, he disappears from the game.
If he survives, he will say, "Mr. Plik has done it again." However, he also says this before starting. This hints that he may have managed to survive a safari before.
He has a very high Small Guns skill, but his health is only marginally higher than average, making him unsuited for surviving prolonged combat.
He is likely to survive a little longer than the other participant in the safari, Rip Smithy, as his weapon will do more damage than Smithy's lever-action rifle.
If the player character leaves the area before Rip or Jacob, they will appear and participate in the next safari.
