Crusoe's name is almost certainly a reference to the Daniel Defoe novel [http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson_Crusoe ''Robinson Crusoe''], in which the title character encounters cannibals while stranded on a deserted island. Left the original speculation in as an alternate interpretation.

:Reverted. There's been a lot of discussion on the matter, it's pretty much agreed that it's a reference to David Caruso, or whatever his name is, from CSI:Miami. More of the similarities fit than any other reference including your Robinson Crusoe connection. --{{User:Deadlykris/Sig}} 14:10, October 29, 2011 (UTC)

Jay Barnes and Crusoe

Ok, after a little discussion with some other editors, I decided to investigate this issue in the GECK.

  • Jay Barnes and Crusoe are placed into the game world in identical locations.
  • They both have the same "enable parent" which is what is used to enable and disable them based on perks. This enable parent is an invisible item known as an X-Marker and is used by a variety of things.
  • Crusoe is set to be the opposite of the enable parent - when it's enabled, he's disabled and vice-versa.
  • By default, this x-marker is enabled. A dialogue topic with Mortimer as part of the Beyond the Beef quest will disable it. This seems to imply that Jay Barnes can be found by players with the Wild Wasteland trait so long as they don't talk about a certain topic with Mortimer.

That pretty much sums it up. --Kris User Hola 19:03, November 30, 2010 (UTC)
