Contents

[edit] Background

Carter is desperate to escape, and his mind has deteriorated so much in the last few weeks that he's prepared to risk almost certain decapitation by trying to sprint to freedom. He needs to time his escape to just the right moment. He's sure Forty doesn't have the means to control his Slave Collar.[1]

[edit] Interaction with the player character

Interaction with the player is not possible, when the player first arrives at Paradise Falls Carter runs for freedom, and gets killed by his exploding Slave Collar.

[edit] Notes

  • You first encounter Carter outside Paradise Falls along with Sammy and Forty. Why these three in particular are standing outside is unknown. Seeing how Carter is eager to run away, it can be deduced that he was unaware of the explosive nature of his Slave Collar, and that Sammy, remaining by Forty's side, knew better.
  • Shooting Carter will make all the Paradise Falls Slavers hostile towards you.
  • Carter cannot be pickpocketed.
  • His corpse cannot be looted, but it can be devoured with the Cannibal perk.

[edit] Appearances

Carter only appears in Fallout 3.

[edit] Bugs

  • There is a glitch (all platforms) where Carter's head does not explode. This results in him standing still. You can't talk to him but you can kill him. This is sometimes activated when the player tries talking with Carter when he's running away, but before his slave collar detonates.
