From The Vault
Gob is a Ghoul bartender who works at Moriarty's Saloon in Megaton to repay a debt presumably incurred when Moriarty purchased Gob from Slavers. Gob has been working to repay his debt for 15 years, a struggle since Moriarty, who the locals believe mistreats him, charges Gob for rent and food. Gob - who it is suggested serves as the town's "punching bag" - has a "mother" named Carol who lives in his home town of Underworld, but no other known family.
- Treating Gob kindly will open up generous discounts, gain the player some good Karma, and reveal some more of his personal past. The discount is especially useful as Gob remains a cheap source of Stimpaks for the entire game.
- If you kill Moriarty, Gob will eventually take over the saloon and place his name over Moriarty's on the front sign.
- In random NPC to NPC conversation, Nova can be heard telling Gob that she has "arranged time" for the two of them, though at another point she tells you that there are "some places even I won't go". Either she changed her mind, or she is keeping a relationship with Gob secret; this explains how Nova becomes master of the hotel (stops being a whore) while Gob manages the Bar, and why the two can sometimes be found sleeping together in the same room the PC can rent.
- In similar NPC to NPC conversation, Gob will tell Nova that he pulled aside a specific bottle of wine that makes her 'uninhibited', to which she calls him 'Gobbie' before he states he'd do anything for her.
- The player can speak to Carol regarding Gob and his situation (in a positive or negative manner), but no further 'courier' conversation options open upon return to Gob. If the player kills Gob, Carol can be told of his death:
- If the player simply says that Gob is dead, Carol will become saddened, and Greta will become angry.
- If the player confesses to Gob's murder, Carol and every Ghoul around her at that time will become temporarily hostile.
- Gob has a surprisingly high charisma, especially for a Ghoul.
[edit] Quotes
- "Wait? You're not gonna hit me? Yell at me? Not even berate me a little?" - Upon creating friendly dialog with him.
- "Don't hit me!" - Sometimes after exiting conversation with him.
- "See you soon drunkie" - After buying from him.
- "Yeah, enjoy...dick." - when asked to buy a drink after being offensive to Gob.
- While yelling at Gob in random NPC to NPC conversation, Moriarty says, "Why d'you think I named you Gob? Because you never shut your gob." Yet, Carol knows exactly who the player means by "Gob."
- Killing Moriarty will render Gob hostile, even if the kill was entirely undetected. He can be restored to friendly state through the standard action of leaving town and coming back approximately 3 days later, or by using certain items (such as using a Stealth Boy or Chinese Stealth Armor to make the kill, and remaining hidden for as long as possible while the commotion dies down) to kill Moriarty.
- Killing Moriarty may also trigger Gob to disappear. If Gob disappears, simply leave Megaton and come back later; he will be back to bartending as usual. It's best to save the game before killing Moriarty, in case something happens to Gob.
