Moriarty's Saloon (EST. 2230) is one of the bars in the town of Megaton owned by a money-hungry man named Colin Moriarty. Drinks are served by the Ghoul bartender Gob, and the saloon is also home to Nova, a prostitute who will sleep with the player (that is, next to them) if he/she rents a room for 120 caps.

Layout

This two-story scruffy metal housing with atrium is seated at the highest point of the whole Megaton crater.

First Floor

The front door opens to the bar serving alcoholic drinks and the restroom is under the stair, concealed by a drape.

The door behind the bar leads to the storage room where Moriarty accesses his terminal, and the supply of this saloon. The backdoor in the storage room exited to behind the Men's Restroom.

Second Floor

On the second floor, there are four bedrooms. The first bedroom with a double bed is available for renting.

Notes

• You visit this place for the storyline quest Following in His Footsteps, though there is much else to do here. Moriarty is, according to Lucas Simms, privy to information on the Lone Wanderer's Father, but also untrustworthy. Information can be gleaned through a bribe, successful use of speech, hacking his computer, picking the lock on his filing cabinet, or outright killing the proprietor (Though this might not go over so well with the inhabitants of Megaton).

• Using the Lady Killer perk on Nova will get you the password to Colin Moriarty's terminal.

• The Cabinet in Moriarty's room (Hard Lock) can contain quite a few caps, particularly if the player has the Fortune Finder perk. Although Jericho claims that the key is "danglin' around Colin's neck," there is no such key (Since it was cut from the final version of the game.) and it must be picked.

• Regulars in Moriarty's include Jericho, Lucy West, Billy Creel, Nathan Vargas, Walter as well as the employees Nova and Gob. Mr. Burke can also be found sitting in a corner, waiting for someone to come along who will do him and his employer a small service.

• You can get a discount from Gob if you do not offend him when you first talk to him and good karma. The discount is 10% off everything Moriarty sells, which includes Stimpaks and alcohol.

• If Moriarty is killed, the name of the saloon will change to Gob's, and Nova will no longer be a prostitute, although she still can be found "sleeping" beside the player on the bed after you use the bed.
• On the second floor there are four doors, two of which can be lock picked, one easy (Moriarty Room), and the room you rent average for xp points. But the regulars NPC's will open them up if you don't get to them first.

• Andy Stahl claims that Moriarty occasionally urinates on his patron's drinks as a joke.
• Rather ironically, after picking the average lock on Nova's door (provided Nova is still working as a prostitute) and gaining entrance in the room, the bed says "My Bed" in red lettering rather than just "Bed". However, trying to do so will correctly bring up the message, "You cannot sleep in an owned bed."

Appearances

Moriarty's Saloon appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes

• In the Official Fallout 3 Strategy Guide it states there are two keys in Moriarty's Cooler, an Andale Basement Key and an Andale Shed Key, in actuality there are no such keys inside the Cooler.
