Tell me about is a feature in Fallout, and something that was originally planned for Fallout 2, but cut before the game's release.
It is an option for NPC dialogue, where if clicking the tell me about button, and type in a word, the NPC will give a response if they have anything to say on that word entered.

Query | Response |
Aradesh | "I am he. I lead this humble town of Shady Sands." |
Claw | "Yes, yes, yes. It is a rumor of a monster created during the War." |
Dharma | "Dharma was a great, religious man. You would do well to listen closely to his sayings." |
Garl | "He leads the Khans. He is one of the most dangerous men that has ever set eyes on Shady Sands. He leads the raider clans with a heavy fist." (In Shady Sands) |
Junktown | "Junktown lies south of here. Their merchants occasionally come to trade, but not often." |
Khans | "Umm, yes, yes. The Khans are nastier then the Vipers, let me tell you. These barbarians attack from the southeast." |
Lair | "No one knows for certain, but the packs seem to be coming from the northeast." |
Raiders | "Ummm, um, um. Very bad. There are two bands of raiders that we know of. They call themselves the Vipers and the Khans." |
Razlo | "Hmm, yes, yes. Razlo is our doctor. If it ails you, he can heal it. I would wager he is just a little north of here at this moment." |

Hm, no. No, I have not heard of that. |

The Hub | "That's the town to the south, right? We get the merchants here all the time, but I've never been there myself. Gee, I wouldn't know what to do in a big city like that." |
Knights | "Well, you see, they're the ones who want to become protectors of the Brotherhood. There's not many of them, but they train their whole lives to become Paladins." |
Paladins | "You're making fun of me, aren't you? Good-bye!" |
Rhombus | "The knights say he can be a tough taskmaster, but I don't personally, because uh, I'm studying under Vree to become a Scribe." |
Scribes | "OK, well, scribes are the keepers of all the histories and the blueprints for the weapons we make. I just love books; that's why I want to be one . . . a Scribe, that is." |

All | "Just out the door and to the north. You can't miss it." |
Beth | "She's in charge of the Weapons Store." |

Maltese | "My mother, finest woman I've ever known, gave me the idea for this, the finest entertainment establishment in all the Hub." |
Market | "It's in the center of town." |
Master | "One of the fabrications of the Children. He's supposedly some minor deity, or something." |

Adytum | "That's a settlement down in the Boneyard. I went there...oh...a long time ago. I was on a scouting mission for the Elders." |
Angel's, Angels, Boneyard | "Well I don't know a lot. There's a bunch of gangs around there, as well as Adytum and the Children of the Cathedral. Not much else. It's pretty damn desolate." |
Army | "Well I believe there's an army massing to the north and in the mountains to the east, but I don't have any way to prove it. The Elders, they won't even listen." |
Brotherhood | "That's where you are. You want the long version, go talk to Vree." |
Butch, Caravans, Harris | "Butch is the head of the Far Go Traders. He's a little slimy, but he's not a total waste. Unlike those Water Merchants. Bunch of damn vultures, all of 'em." |
Cabbot | "Oh, he's a good kid, even if he does want to be a Scribe." |
Cathedral | "A bunch of religious whackos, if you ask me. I think their main church is in the Boneyard." |

Disks | "Holo discs? Hmm? I haven't seen those in a while." |
Elder | "Hehehe. A fine, handsome, upstanding man. The High Elder position is to mediate the meetings between the Elders. You see, two years ago I got talked into it. If I'd of known then..." |
Elders | "Well you see there's four of them and that's about all they can ever agree on. They can't even agree if they want to piss, much less pick a pot to piss in." |

The Hub | "The Hub's down to the southeast. They trade us food and things for the weapons we make here. Now if you're ever down there, you talk to Butch Harris." |
Initiates | "Well that's what you are. Initiates train and learn to become knights or scribes." |
Knights | "The Knights make the weapons. And when he's good enough, a Knight can advance to become a Paladin and then an Elder and so forth. Right now Rhombus is the head of the Knights." |
Library | "We keep weapon specs and history there." |
Master | "What was that? No. I don't believe I've ever heard of it." |
Mathia | "Mathia's my assistant." |
Maxson, Roger | "Roger Maxson huh? Well he led our people here in the great Exodus, started the Brotherhood from scratch. Quite a leader." |
Merchants | "You want to hear about the Water Merchants. Hehehe, well you can't trust them. A few years ago, they offered us Water for a huge stockpile of weapons. We told them no, and you know what they did? Sent in thieves to steal the weapons! We caught 'em, but the Elders voted down going to the Hub to teach the merchants a lesson." |
Paladins | "Paladins are in charge of all security and outside activities. I remember tradin' with the Hub, goin' on scouting missions for the Elders. Ah man, those ware a good times." |

Rhombus | "Rhombo's been here a long time. A bit stiff, but a helluva soldier." |

Query | Response |
Cathedral | "Not much to say. Doc Morbid's pretty pissed 'cause their prices are lower for medical stuff. They're on the west side." |
Claw | "The Death Claw? Oh, that's a bedtime story. Drinks blood and howls at the full moon. Yeah, right." |
Crash | "Great place to get a cheap room. Not too dirty, either. But don't mess with the owner, Marcelles, she'll pull your arms out if you smart off to her." |
Darkwater, Killian | "Well, that's me. Where have you been?" |
Darkwater's, Darkwaters | "That's my store. You need it, I got it." |

Gizmo | "Gizmo owns the casino over on the east side. Named it after himself. Be very careful around him." |
Gizmo's, Gizmos | "Ah, Gizmo's is the casino by the entrance. I'm surprised you didn't notice it on your way in. You can usually smell the place for miles. But hey, it brings in the tourists." |
The Hub | "Well, the Hub's the main place for trade. Anything you don't find here you'll probably find in the Hub. Not sure how safe it is nowadays, with all those strange things going on." |
Khans | "Well, the Khans are a bunch of bullies who live outside to the east. They've been trying to take over Junktown for as long as I can remember, but they never make it past the gates." |
Lars | "Oh, Lars heads up the guards here. He's a good guy. Pretty trustworthy." |
Necropolis | "That city's death. I sent two patrols down there and neither one of them returned." |
Pit, Pitt, Skum | "That's our resident bar. The food's okay, but the beer's great. The owner, Neal, takes no lip, not even from some of the Raiders that come in." |
Raiders | "Well, there are two kinds, the Khans and the Vipers. We usually don't get trouble from the Vipers, and a few of them actually pass through town. The Khans, though, they're a mean bunch. They think they can conquer the world, or some such crap." |
Sands, Shady | "Shady Sands? That's a little place up to the north. I'd like to do more trading with them." |
Skulz | "The Skulz are a bunch of punks who work for Gizmo. They don't cause that much trouble, but me and Lars keep an eye on them." |
Strange | "Well, there're some rumors coming up from the Hub. Caravans disappearing, people being butchered, even some talk of big green monsters who eat human flesh. All sorts of weird stuff." |
Vinnie | "Well Vinnie, he's one of the problem children. He leads a group of punks called the Skulz. Still, they pay the rent, and they haven't bothered anyone too much." |
Vipers | "The Vipers are a crazy bunch from up north. They worship snakes, or something." |
War | "Where've you been for the last 100 years? In a closet? My father used to tell me stories about the War. His father was a soldier before starting Junktown." |

Cathedral | The others are all so nice! It's wonderful here. We belong, we do good work . . . |
Morpheus | Oh, he's wonderful. He leads us. You should talk to him! |

Nightkin, Mutants | Nightkin? I don't know what you're talking about |
Dark, God | The what? |
Auditorium | It's the big place at the north end of the church, where Morpheus does all his ceremonies. I've been there, it's wonderful! |
Sanctum | Oh, you cannot go there. That's where Morpheus contemplates. |

Query | Response |
Unity | The Unity is the goal of all Super Mutants. Through the FEV virus, we will bring all of humanity together in peace. |
FEV, Virus | The FEV virus was discovered by the Master many years ago. It is what makes us the Chosen Ones. But you will soon learn that, I assure you. |
Master | The Master is father to us all. |
Cathedral | Nothing but a device to further our plans. No matter, all humans will be Chosen...or dead. |
Vats | The Vats are where the FEV is stored, and where you normals become one of us. Of course, some die horrible, excruciatingly painful deaths, but well, those are the breaks. |
Normals | They are humans who have not been exposed to radiation. They tend to fare better in the Vats than others. You are a perfect example of this. |
Vaults | They were constructed before the war. They are also our main source of Prime Normals. |
Morpheus | Morpheus. It's quite amusing. He thinks he's so much more than just a slug the Master recruited to head his Children of the Cathedral nonsense. Ah, well. He, too, will be dipped in the Vats and he'll probably die a horrible death...I hope. |
Otherwise... | That question is irrelevant to the Unity. |
That's not important right now. | |
I won't even dignify that with an answer. |

Query | Response |
Angel's, Angels, Boneyard | "Need to be a bit careful there. The Rippers and the Blades like to carve you up just for fun. While the town there, Adytum, just tries to stay alive. If you find yourself traipsing around there and happen on the Blades, make sure to say cheers to Razor for me. Thinking of her brings back memories, it does." |
Bits, Bob's, Bobs, Iguana | "You can always find Bob in the direct center of the Merchant's Market. He'll probably be selling those Iguana Bits of his till he keels over dead." |
Blades | "They're the scrapheads down in the Boneyard. They've been fighting for years, and they don't even know what for anymore. Bloody stupid it is." |
Brotherhood, Steel | "Oh, another bunch of wackos. They sit up in their big black fortress to the north, just waiting for another war." |
Caravan, Caravans | "Criminals. Absolute criminals. They're squeezing the life out of the town. The Far Go Traders, the Crimson Caravan, and the worst of the bunch, the Water Merchants. You can have the lot." |
Cathedral | "Now there's a scary bunch. They strut around all day talking about their Night God, as if he's the next best thing since merchant pockets with holes. They can heal you up pretty cheap. I'll give'em that. You can find'em in that hospital of theirs downtown." |
Deathclaw, Death, Claw | "Not much to tell, really. Nighttime, scare your children stories about a beastie living up north and feeding on the flesh of bad little children everywhere." |
Crimson | "They have a little general shop downtown. Can't trust'em, though. Hiding in their bloody warehouse most of the time. They do sell some mean chems and medkits, though. A lot cheaper than the stupid Children of the Cathedral, I can tell you that." |
Decker | "No. Decker's a slick one. He's got the whole town in his pocket, he does. He gives his 'protection' to the merchants, all the while pitting them against each other. Not someone you want to mess with, but he can usually be found in the Maltese Falcon." |
Glow, Hot, Spot | "About three years ago, one of the merchants went way down south looking for other towns. He came back all hair and teeth falling out, babbling about some huge span of radiation. Who knows, maybe something special down there before the war." |
Harold | "Harold? He's a good enough sort, for being a ghoul an all. Lives on the south side." |
Heights | "Fancy buildings. Bought with the blood of the poor." |
Jacob | "He's a gun dealer up in the north part of Old Town. Damn dangerous bloke, some of his hardware's a bit too lethal." |
Kane | "Decker's right hand man, definitely not one to mess with. You can usually find him at the Maltese Falcon." |
Market | "It's down in the middle of town." |
Merchants | "Them. Sitting high and mighty in their Water Tower south of downtown, charging all us decent folks for any drop of water that springs from the ground. They should all be bloody shot, they should." |
Missing | "Seems like every day another one turns up missing. People are afraid to leave town without protection. Some even blame it on the Death Claw." |
Old, Oldtown, Town | "Most of the poor who work for the merchants live here, in buildings so thin they don't block the sun. Meanwhile, those rich bastards are comfortable in their nice homes over in the Heights. Makes me ill." |
Police | "Not too fond of us actually." |
Razor | "Oh, what a woman! She used to be a thief here, until she decided to move down south to the Boneyard. Last I heard she joined up with the Blades. Ah, well, brains weren't her strongest part." |
Traders | "The closest thing to decent of all the three caravans. Only missed it by a few miles." |

Master | "It is he who brought me the vision of the Unity and it is he who will bring peace to this troubled land." |
Morpheus | "I am but a humble servant of the Unity." |
Mutants, nightkin | "The nightkin came to us a while ago. They might be hideous mutants but they are extremely loyal to the Children. As we all are." |
Nicole | "Nicole is the unfortunate, confused leader of the Followers of the Apocalypse." |
Order | "We are the high priests of the great Dark God. Thirteen of us are so blessed to pass his mighty words to the rest of the Children." |
Sanctum | "Don't concern yourself with that. Only the High Priests may enter." |

Adytum | It's a small settlement. You'll find it to the west in the Boneyard. |
Angel's, Angels, Boneyard | Before the Great War, this was a huge, thriving city. My mother told stories, but there's hardly anything left now. Just ruins and death. |
Followers | Our history is in the last case, top shelf. |
War | Everything was burned, everything destroyed. We try to teach people peace, so that it will never happen again. |
Hub | That's the trading city to the north. We're trying to set up a table there. |
Brotherhood, Steel | We're not sure about them. They sell guns, we sell peace. But their motives... |

The Hub | "Much farther to the south than Junktown. The Hub is the largest city I've heard about. Must be a thousand people there, at least." |
Junktown | "It's 4-6 days to the southwest. Good trading occasionally, but more often than not, they try to stiff us." |
Khans | "They are a lawless group who pretend to be some people from the far past." |
Razlo | "That is me. I am the doctor for Shady Sands." |
Sands, Shady | "You're standing in it." |

Query | Response |
Aradesh | Aradesh is my father. He's okay, as far as dads go. |
Tandi | That's me. Who else did you think it was? |
Razlo | Razlo's the old guy on the east side of town. He's a pretty good doctor, though, even if he is a fossil. |
Seth | Seth's the captain of the guards. My father tried to set us up once, but he is not my type. |
Raiders, Khans | Pretty bad bunch or so I've heard. My father knows more about them. He never tells me much about the outside world. |
Well | That's where we get all our water. It's been here since before I was born. |
Scorpions, Scorpion | I've actually seen one, even if it was from far away. They're nasty creatures, with claws and a big stinger. And their poison can be deadly if it isn't treated. You should talk to my dad, Aradesh, he knows more about them. |
Claw | I heard a tale from a traveler up from the south. He said the Death Claw was a creature that killed people at night. He said no one can catch it, because it can disappear like smoke. Not that I believe it, of course. |
Junktown | Junktown's a small city to the southwest. It's supposed to have pretty good trading, but my father won't even look into it. He says we need to stay 'protected'. Yeah, right. Caged is more like it. |
Hub | The Hub is supposed to be a great city to the south. I've always wanted to see it, but I've never got the chance. |
City | I don't know, but the guy who told me about it was really scared of it. He said that the undead walked the streets! |
Garl | He leads the Khans. He is one of the most dangerous men that has ever set eyes on Shady Sands. He leads the raider clans with a heavy fist. |
Anything else | I don't know. You might want to ask Seth or my father about it, though. |
Hmm...Doesn't ring a bell. | |
Hm...nope. I never heard of it. |

everything it can to restore that which was lost." |
Behind the scenes[]
- If Hakunin or Mynoc were asked about the Elder in Fallout 2, his response would be "The Elder is your mother and our leader." This was obviously not in the final version of the game, but can be found by examining the game's files.
- The feature is based on that of Interplay's Wasteland, of which Fallout is a spiritual successor. The only way to talk with NPCs in Wasteland was through typing specific words.
