“Hey, me and shortness go a long way back, so shut up!”

Shorty is one of the residents of Big Town in 2277.

Background

Shorty grew up in Little Lamplight, where he received his nickname from fellow residents due to his short temper (Short-T.) The Lone Wanderer first came across Shorty in the basement kitchen of Germantown Police HQ, where he was being held captive, soon to become a super mutant meal.

Notes

• Shorty's name is rather appropriate because he is probably one of the shortest non-child non-player characters in the game.
• Shorty is also one of the only people in Big Town who hasn't had a 'fling' with Bittercup. The only other exception is Dusty.

Appearances

Shorty appears only in Fallout 3.
