NotesEdit

• The key to 'The Box' where Rory Maclaren is being held prisoner is located on a small table in Eulogy's Pad next to the heart shaped bed.
• Killing him does not drop Karma level.
• He will fight you if the slavers are hostile.
• If you want him to live, tell him that he's on his own then wait an hour. He'll be in Moriarty's Saloon in Megaton.
• If you attack the slavers before reaching 'The Box', you will find him dead.

AppearancesEdit

Rory Maclaren appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenesEdit

His line "Can't nobody eat fifty eggs." is a reference to the film Cool Hand Luke.

BugsEdit

• pc ps3 xbox360 If Rory is following you during Rescue from Paradise it is possible he will continue to do so even after he has reached the Paradise Falls front gates. This can happen by accident, but can be deliberately caused by fast-traveling away from the front gate as soon as possible. ^[verified]
• pc ps3 xbox360 If you convince Penny to leave Rory behind he will remain in "The Box". If you unlock the door and speak to him, he will repeat the "Talk fast" dialog. ^[verified]
• ps3 If you have him as a follower but need to leave him behind because you are entering a dangerous area (i.e. the deathclaw sanctuary), go to Paradise Falls, go past Grouse and enter the door. He will not follow you inside. When you exit Paradise Falls He will simply stand still if you do not try to talk to him. Go all the way to where Grouse sits before fast traveling. You will not see him again until you go to a friendly area like your Megaton home or Grayditch. He will be unharmed and if you previously reverse pick pocketed stimpaks on him he may heal himself. ^[verified]
• ps3 xbox360 If you kill the guard to get the key to the box, when you open the box, Rory may be lying dead inside. ^[verified]
• ps3 xbox360 If you have Rory follow you and immediately destroy Megaton he will carry on following you with the only dialog option being 'Hey. Talk fast, they hate it when I talk to customers'. ^[verified]
