Notes[]

  • Assigning a person to a pillory for the first time will grant the Time Out Achievement/Trophy.
  • If Marcy, Jun, Mama Murphy, Preston or Sturges are assigned to a pillory their scripted A.I. will make them leave the pillory every now and again to go hammer the yellow house that the workshop is in. Other NPCs such as settlers and even companions will stay in the pillory.

Behind the scenes[]

During the Middle Ages the pillory was a device used for punishment of criminals by public humiliation. Passers-by were free to mock the criminals or physically abuse them by throwing rotten fruits at them.
