Detailed walkthrough[]
Bess broke her leg. If the Chosen One has a Doctor skill above 25%, they can help fix it. After that, she will follow them around Modoc. She will not enter the underground sections of the town, but will wait on the surface. She will stay in the party until they leave Modoc. The Chosen One can then sell her to Grisham in exchange for 100 meat jerky after one week and a loss of 5 Karma. If one changes their mind, the Chosen One can release her and the rest of the brahmin in the slaughterhouse pen for 10 Karma, but their reputation with Modoc will take a hit.
Notes[]
- Bess will attack any enemies she sees, like a normal companion, providing (very marginal) help in protecting Grisham's brahmin and clearing Farrel's garden.
- Bess will disappear from the game if the Chosen One goes down into the well or Modoc caves.
