What? Are you kidding me? This is another one of Forty's tricks isn't it. Well I'm not falling for it.

Notes[]

  • The key to "the Box" where Rory Maclaren is being held prisoner is located on a small table in Eulogy's Pad next to the heart-shaped bed.
  • If one wants him to live, tell him that he is on his own, then wait an hour. He will be in Moriarty's Saloon in Megaton.
  • If the slavers are attacked before reaching "the Box," he will be found dead.
  • Rory's collar cannot be removed, even if he is no longer in Paradise Falls.
  • If one were to enter an indoor building and tell Rory to wait there, leave Paradise Falls without him and return later, he will still be there, though one is unable to free him, and entering a conversation with him will result in him saying the same lines as he would in Megaton.

This can happen by accident, but can be deliberately caused by fast-traveling away from the front gate as soon as possible. [verified]

  1. Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.93: "Rory Maclaren
    One of the many held at Paradise Falls, 30-year-old Rory remains here until someone wishes to purchase him. Unlike some of his fellow slaves, Rory is obsessed with escaping and spends every waking minute pondering ways of tunneling, creeping, or bludgeoning his way out of Paradise Falls. He isn't about to be pushed around and has assaulted his captors several times. He's been placed permanently in the "Box," where unruly slaves await their fate."
