Notable quotes

Appearances

Dala appears only in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues.

Behind the scenes

  • You have the option of telling her "The Quick Scribe jumped over the Lazy Paladin" which is clearly a reference to what Christine says in Dead Money. This is itself a reference to a typing exercise used because it uses every letter of the English alphabet: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
  • Dala is a shortened form of Mandala, which means 'circle' in Sanskrit, another looping and infinite figure which follows the naming convention of the other members of the Think Tank.

Bugs

PCPC It is possible that you won't be able to initiate another "Breathing Session" with Dala after you have already done so once before. [verified]
