Moira Brown is the eccentric and sometimes inappropriately cheerful owner of Craterside Supply in Megaton. She gives the quest The Wasteland Survival Guide.
Contents |
[edit] Background
Moira was born in 2253 in the trading community of Canterbury Commons[1] but lives in Megaton in 2277.
[edit] Daily Schedule
Moira will be in Craterside Supply during business hours. She buys and sells all types of items, repairs equipment and offers improvements and themes for My Megaton House.
If Megaton is destroyed, she will relocate to Underworld.
[edit] Interactions with the player character
[edit] The Wasteland Survival Guide
At multiple points of this quest line you can attempt to convince Moira that writing the guide is pointless and that she should center on more important things. If you do convince her to stop writing though, you will gain negative karma, and the Dream Crusher perk which causes anyone attacking you to have 50% less chance of scoring a critical hit. It also causes Moira's mood to mellow out and focus on her store, thus giving the player a discount on all items she sells (however this discount is negated if you enter the buy/sell screen through the house upgrade speech option). Her repair skill increases from 52% to 72% as well.
[edit] Blowing up Megaton
If the player character helps Mr. Burke detonate Megaton's nuclear bomb in The Power of the Atom quest, Moira survives the blast as she was outside of town researching for her guide at the time. She even remarks on how an experiment of hers, a Nuka-Psycho hybrid substance, might be responsible for the explosion. However, the massive exposure to radiation transforms her into a ghoul. She will then relocate to Underworld. She does not appear to know she's a ghoul at first, but even if the Lone Wanderer points it out, her sorrow is extremely short-lived. Typical for her personality, she optimistically realizes that she's always wanted to run some experiments on ghouls and can now use herself as a subject. Moira will still offer the quest The Wasteland Survival Guide after she becomes a ghoul.

[edit] Notes
- Her repair skill will be increased to 54 if you decide to get the Dream Crusher perk (this repairs items to about 75%). You can increase her repair skill with the Workman's Coveralls from Point Lookout.
- She sells a Rock-It Launcher schematic.
- She sells improvements and themes for your house in Megaton.
- There is a Mercenary in Moira's shop who is similar to a Caravan Guard. The guard protects Moira from thieves and attackers.
- If you kill Moira, you will get a key to her shop. Her shop's inventory is behind her desk in a locker.
- She may die on her way to Underworld if she happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
- If you deactivate the bomb, obtain the house from Lucas Simms and then kill Moira, you will be unable to purchase themes for your new house.
- Moira can be found in the Walking with Spirits quest on Point Lookout. She appears dead, lying in the water in your hallucination.
- Moira's voice does not change after being ghoulified.
[edit] Appearances
Moira Brown appears in Fallout 3
[edit] Bugs
- Occasionally, Moira will not move from the Megaton ruins after the town has been destroyed if you have completed the quest The Wasteland Survival Guide. She will stand in front of Megaton and can only repair.
- Sometimes she will get stuck in the DC river on her way to Underworld. When talking to her in the river, occasionally her head will spin 360 degrees, mostly when handing you items.
- Killing Moira after destroying Megaton with the atom bomb, will still for some odd reason cause her to show up in Underworld (PS3).
- Sometimes, if you kill Moira before blowing up Megaton, you can find her ghoulified body in front of the entrance to Underworld.
- Sometimes, when Moira is killed and you loot her supplies, She will still say, "Hey, that's valuable junk!" even after she is dead.
- If you shoot Moira in V.A.T.S with a Laser Pistol she moves sideways without running but as soon as you exit V.A.T.S she runs as normal.
