All of them have been with me for years, I will trust any of them with my life.— Reilly referring to Reilly's Rangers

Reilly is the leader of a small mercenary band known as Reilly's Rangers in 2277.

Background[]

Reilly, who is 30 in 2277, grew up without her parents in Washington, D.C., raised instead by a military man who brought her up to be self-sufficient. Her adoptive parent died 12 years later and Reilly carried him to Arlington Cemetery for a proper military burial. At the age of 26, she founded a group dedicated mapping the Capital Wasteland called Reilly's Rangers.[Non-game 1] She has worked with the members of Reilly's Rangers for years, and trusts all of them with her life.[1]

Quests[]

  • Reilly's Rangers: After being revived, Reilly knows something has gone wrong and urges the Lone Wanderer to investigate the whereabouts of her mercs, somewhere in the Vernon Square area.
  • Geomapping with Reilly: After rescuing her mercs from the Statesman Hotel, the Lone Wanderer will be asked to take a geomapper module and help her map out the DC area.

Effects of player's actions[]

  • If the bottom speech options are chosen when first talking to her, Reilly gets mad and will never talk to the Lone Wanderer again.
  • Depending on how she is woken up, Reilly's legs are crippled and can be seen limping if the Medicine skill is used to wake her up. However, she will look like normal if Doctor Barrows' Speech check is used to wake her up.

Notes[]

  • If asked why there are so many mutants in the area she states that Brick thinks that there is something in the area they're looking for. As later discovered, they are searching for human abductees to expose to the F.E.V., which they use to make more super mutants.
  • If one has the Gun Nut perk, a Speech option is available to say that the Lone Wanderer has heard of Reilly's Rangers before and that they pack serious firepower. This has no other effect but variance.
  • If one angers Reilly, she and her rangers will become hostile. If one attacks the rangers, Underworld residents will not become hostile to the Lone Wanderer and will attack Reilly. This also works the other way around, if the player character attacks Underworld residents, Reilly will help them in battle.
  • Reilly keeps notes of her teammates in her terminal which are written as reports. According to her computer files, she and Butcher are in a complicated relationship, which she worries may jeopardize their professional relationship.
  • In her terminal log about Donovan, she mentions having a contact in the Brotherhood of Steel.
  • There are a few inconsistencies between Reilly's dialogue and her notes. If asked about Talon Company, Reilly will tell about an encounter with them in which Brick, the team's Heavy Weapons specialist, almost fought with a detachment of them; whereas in her Personal Report 177, Reilly states that Brick did indeed fire on and massacre them. She also states that Theo, the ranger lost in the Statesman Hotel, was a full ranger, whereas his contract is marked in her notes as "probationary".

Notable quotes[]

Appearances[]

Reilly appears in Fallout 3 and Fallout: Wasteland Warfare.

Bugs[]

  • PCPC Sometimes Reilly, when in Underworld's hospital, gets stuck in a dialogue with no exit options. This seems to occur when you listen to her quest suggestion Reilly's Rangers, choose to think about it, and return later, but the quest already appears on your Pip-Boy and states "Find Reilly in Underworld". Carrying out a quick save before talking to her is recommended. [verified]
  • PCPC If you have the Gauss rifle, and you remain hidden, in Underworld's hospital, then shoot Reilly while she is still unconscious, she will fall off the bed and stand up, but you won't be able to talk to her, though you are able to revive her with the required 60 Medicine. [verified]

    Reilly: "There's five of us... oh wait, four now. I almost forgot about Theo. Poor bastard. Besides myself of course, we have Brick, our heavy weapons specialist, Butcher, our medic and Donovan, our tech. All of them have been with me for years. I'd trust any of them with my life."

Non-game

  1. Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p. 432: "18.06 REILLY'S RANGERS COMPOUND
    Growing up in the ruins of Washington D.C. without parents, Reilly encountered a military man who took her in and taught her everything there was to know about combat, tactics and survival . When he died 12 years later, she carried his body all the way to Arlington Cemetery, and gave him the best military burial she could. Four years ago at 26, she founded Reilly's Rangers, and began a massive mapping exercise. Currently, she has suffered severe wounds, and is in a coma, somewhere near the Ghoul stronghold of Underworld. Before she meets the Lone Wanderer, her team was held up near Vernon Square by a large pack of super mutants where she was injured and nearly killed when she attempted to escape. The Lone Wanderer can assist her in her recovery, as well as finding and rescuing her team."
