NotesEdit

• 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.

• "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."
