“Greetings friend, my name is Willy and have I got a deal for you.”
Willy is a special weapons trader around Modoc in Fallout 2, appearing in the special encounter A trader and guards. If encountered again, he will bear a different name (Willy, George, Mike, Walter, Charlie, Freddy, Mick, Smitty, or Jack), but have the same dialogue and functionality, even if killed previously.
Background[]
Willy (if that is even his real name), is an eccentric merchant who prowls the edge of the Oregon wasteland. He has the slick appearance of a travelling salesman,[1] and has an unique sales method: He reads a long-winded sales pitch off a card that lulls customers to sleep. After an hour spent making the speech, he kicks the customer awake and asks for a decision,[2] making a final pitch. These may include the classic line that "it slices [and] it dices",[3] remarks about its aerodynamic shape and use of the finest wood,[4] or recycled steel and tested for safety and reliability by "his engineers",[5] making the customer's enemies flee at the sight of it,[6] or the essential nature of doohickeys sold by him.[7] With the most exotic items, his wit ends and he'll just ask if they want it or not.[8]
Due to the nature of his sales, he doesn't take refunds, make exchanges, or sell on credit.[9]

Merchant details[]
- Willy's unique dialogue-based pitch is undone by the fact that he does not have Barter disabled and players can simply hit the barter button to see what he's carrying or use Steal to look into his inventory (he'll have 1-5 weapons for sale on him, spawned by his script upon entering the random encounter).
- The script chooses the weapon at random out of 25 possible options (restricted by level requirements), and re-rolls the result if the player character's level doesn't meet the requirements until a valid weapon is selected. If the alien blaster is rolled, the game rolls against the player character's luck (no modifiers).
- The price of the weapons is multiplied by a
11 - <PC Luck>modifier: At 1 Luck all prices are increased tenfold. At 10 Luck, Willy sells them at base price from the script. - Willy's pitch will depend on the type of the weapon offered:
- ITEM_KNIFE: " Why, it slices it dices and it'll also come in handy against pesky critters. A bargain at any price, but for you it's on special for only "
- ITEM_PISTOL: "This weapon is made of the finest recycled steel. Just feel how that fits comfortably into your hand. And don't worry, our engineers have tested it for safety and reliability. No robber in his right mind would dare try to steal from if you wave this baby around. And it'll only set you back"
- ITEM_SPEAR: "This weapon is made of the finest recycled steel. Just feel how that fits comfortably into your hand. And don't worry, our engineers have tested it for safety and reliability. No robber in his right mind would dare try to steal from if you wave this baby around. And it'll only set you back "
- ITEM_H2H: " I can tell you're the type of person that likes to get close up and personal when dealing with riff raff. Well this little doohickey is just what you need, and it'll only cost you"
- ITEM_RIFLE: "This little dandy just screams. "Don't mess with me!" The mere sight of it will send your enemies running. A bargain at "
- ITEM_SPECIAL: "This little gem is truly one of a kind. From the far reaches of... It works by pointing it like- Look, I don't know what the hell this is. You want it or not? The price is "
