I hope you can help. If folks knew how bad it was getting up here... well... I don't know what would happen.

Walter is a resident of the settlement of Megaton in 2277.

Background

Walter was born in 2216. He spends his days minding the machines and fixing drainage devices that break. He's increasingly worried about the state of the water and drainage structure, and knows it won't hold much longer - and neither will he. At 61, he's one of the oldest residents.[1]

Daily schedule

During the day Walter can be found in the water processing plant almost all day, and sometimes he will step outside for some air. And during the night hours, he can be seen drinking in Moriarty's Saloon.
