“Hey, me and shortness go a long way back, so shut up!”
Shorty is one of the residents of Big Town in 2277.
Background
Edit
Although diminutive, Shorty received his nickname from the fellow residents of Big Town due to his fiery temper: "Short-T." Currently, he's praying for a quick death in the basement kitchen of the Germantown police station.[1]

Notes
Edit
- Shorty's name is rather appropriate because he is probably one of the shortest non-child characters in the game (0.9 x player's height).
- Shorty is also one of the only people in Big Town who hasn't had a 'fling' with Bittercup. The only other male exception is Dusty.
Notable quotes
Edit
- "Hey, me and shortness go a long way back, so shut up!"
- "Alright, if you say so boss. But if we get to Big Town and she isn't there, I'll kill you."
- "From the look of things, I'd say a Super Mutant sat down in a ditch one day and shat out this town. I dragged myself here from Lamplight. I didn't believe all the stories about Bigtown, but I wasn't about to let everyone else go there without me. A few dozen attacks on the town later, and here I am. Almost an ingredient in a Super Mutant chile cook-off."
Appearances
Edit
Shorty appears only in Fallout 3.
