Behind the scenes[]

  • Mick's secret stash of weapons includes Fallout 3 guns like the Infiltrator, railway rifle, and the Chinese pistol. However, as world objects, they cannot be obtained.
  • Mick says "Like I always say, a polite society is an armed society" when the player character convinces him to sell better weapons. This is a reference to a quote from Robert A. Heinlein.
