Wadsworth can become the Lone Wanderer's personal Mister Handy butler at Megaton in the year 2277.

Background

When the newest resident of Megaton looks to RobCo Industries to furnish them with the finest in mechanized butlers, one admirable choice is the Wadsworth model. With the latest in hair-cutting and "humor array" technologies (sample quip: "War does not determine who is right; only who is left"), and the ability to keep a home looking shipshape and almost presentable, the Lone Wanderer's metallic pal is fun to be with.[1]

Services
  • He may give instructions on how to spruce up the player character's house, directing them to Craterside Supply.
  • He may restyle haircuts.
  • He can tell jokes (only once per day, so he can recharge his "humor emitter array").
  • He can give the player character purified water, but only five at a time before needing to refresh his supply. It takes a week for him to refill his supply (meaning he can restore 100 HP every week).
  • He will advise the player character to use My First Infirmary if they are injured.
    • If the player character has not purchased the infirmary and is moderately injured, he will state they are not looking well. For more severe injuries he will say they appear to be injured, and suggest that they seek medical attention as soon as possible.
  • He will tell the player character how to use My First Laboratory, My First Workbench and the Nuka-Cola machine.

Notes

  • His counterpart in Tenpenny Tower is Godfrey.
  • When greeting the Lone Wanderer, Wadsworth will sometimes say "How may I serve you, Master/Mistress? and then quietly mutter "Not that I really want to..."
  • Alternatively, Wadsworth occasionally greets the player character with "Good to see you alive and well today Sir/Madame," then will mutter sarcastically "Well, good to see you anyway..." if he is ignored.
  • When explaining how the My First Laboratory can remove addictions, he mutters something similar to "Or, depending on what you’re addicted to, it might blow out the program altogether...", though this is not captioned, being muttered under his "breath."
  • If killed, Wadsworth respawns in 3–4 days.
  • Wadsworth is found only in the Lone Wanderer's Megaton house and will not leave.

Behind the scenes
