DaringArgyleDeadTopic | I found Argyle. I'm afraid he's dead. | Neutral 50 | Dead? Argyle? You... you’re sure? My God. I always thought he’d outlive me, by at least 100 years. Poor bastard. | 1 |
Neutral 50 | But thank you! Thank you for telling me. At least now I know. At least now the poor guy can catch a breather. | 2 | ||
Neutral 50 | I’d like to return your kindness. Here, take this key. It unlocks my safe. Lots of stuff in there I'll never use again. My adventuring days are over. | 3 | ||
DaringArgyleTopic | Tell me about Argyle. | Neutral 50 | Argyle was my manservant! Ah, but that’s really just a fancy word for "the guy who saves my sorry skin on a regular occasion." | 4 |
Neutral 50 | He was a Ghoul, you see. Been around since before the war. We met when I stole his girlfriend, back in ’41. We’d been best friends ever since. | 5 | ||
Neutral 50 | We got separated, a long time ago, and never reunited. If you find Argyle out there, somewhere, you be sure and tell me! Okay? | 6 | ||
DaringGNRTopic | You mentioned something about GNR? | Neutral 50 | Haven’t you ever heard the radio play? The Adventures of Herbert "Daring" Dashwood? That guy at the radio station put it together a few years ago. | 7 |
Neutral 50 | He did it in the style of those shows they had before the war. Came out pretty well. And it’s all true! Rockopolis, Miss Chase... All of it. | 8 | ||
Neutral 50 | Of course, they do portray me as a bit of a chump. Argyle may have saved my hide more than once, but I had my moments. Ah, those were the days... | 9 | ||
GREETING | GREETING | Happy 100 | Herbert Dashwood. Damn glad to meet you! Call me Daring. Everyone else does. | 10 |
GREETING | Surprise 50 | Why are you doing this? {in the middle of an attack against his town} | 11 | |
GREETING | Surprise 50 | Don't just stand their child! Take up the fight! {in the middle of an attack against his town} | 12 | |
GREETING | Happy 100 | You're a lot tougher than you look, kid. {jovial} | 13 | |
GREETING | Happy 100 | Glad to see you were able to convince these people to open their minds a little. Those Ghouls will liven things up around here for a long time! {jovial} | 14 | |
GREETING | Happy 100 | Hello fellow adventurer! {jovial} | 15 | |
GREETING | Happy 100 | Get into any adventures recently? {excited to relieve his youth vicariously} | 16 | |
GREETING | Happy 100 | You remind me of myself... back when I was a young adventurer. {excited to relieve his youth vicariously} | 17 | |
MS08SympathizerClue1 | I'm interested in this android from the Commonwealth. | Neutral 50 | We don't do that anymore. Well, not until the heat dies down. For now, the Railroad is shut down. | 18 |
Neutral 50 | Used to help them escape from the Commonwealth. Find them places to lay low. The last one was someone real important. They are still looking for him. | 19 | ||
MS08SympathizerClue2 | I know you know something about this android from the Commonwealth. | Neutral 50 | I heard they found him a place to hide. It's not easy. The Commonwealth always sends someone looking. Someone ruthless and determined. {hushed and conspiratorial} | 20 |
Fear 10 | They were looking for a surgeon and a computer wiz. But that's old news. {hushed and conspiratorial} | 21 | ||
Fear 50 | Lay low for a while. We've had to temporarily shut down the railroad. {hushed and conspiratorial} | 22 | ||
MS08SympathizerClue3 Are you part of the Railroad? What do you know about this android? |
I know you're part of the Railroad. What do you know about the android? | Fear 75 | Shhh! Not so loud! Whoever brought you in should have told you to be more discreet! {afraid someone might overhear} | 23 |
Neutral 50 | They were looking for a tech-wizard awhile back. Someone who could give our friend a new set of memories. You know wipe them clear and replace them. {hushed and conspiratorial} | 24 | ||
Fear 50 | Not sure how that'd be accomplished. If you know anything, send word by the regular channels. Now go before someone overhears us! {hushed and conspiratorial} | 25 | ||
MS08SympathizerClue4 Do you know where this android had his face or memory replaced? |
I know you know where this android received his operations. Talk. | Surprise 50 | He was delivered to Pinkerton at Rivet City a long while back. It's been a complete success. No one will recognize that robot now. {hushed and conspiratorial} | 26 |
Fear 10 | We can all breathe easier, but we've shut down the Railroad until we are sure this has all blown over. Agents of the Commonwealth are still looking. {hushed and conspiratorial} | 27 | ||
MS12Basement | Do you know anything about the basement and emergency tunnels? | Surprise 100 | Aha! So you've been exploring the tower! Well done! Let's just say that Gustavo's not the only one with a key for the generator room! {jovial gloating about his exploits} | 28 |
I don't want to play games... Can I please just borrow the key? | Sad 10 | Bah! I thought you were more interesting than that. Fine. But you better not get caught with that! {disappointed in his protege} | 29 | |
MS12BasementKey1 MS12BasementKey |
Are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting? | Surprise 50 | Well, it does get a trifle bit boring around here, and to spice things up I like to do a little... exploring. {mischievous glee "exploring" means breaking and entering and snooping around} | 30 |
Happy 50 | Oh, I always put everything back! Well, almost everything. I occasionally keep a memento... like Gustavo's key to the generator room. {mischievous glee} | 31 | ||
Happy 100 | Have you noticed how he turns a delightful shade of purple when he's angry? {mischievous glee} | 32 | ||
Surprise 50 | Well, kid. There're two keys floating around. Which one do you think you can nab without getting caught? Good luck! {mischievous} | 33 | ||
MS12BasementKey2 | You want Gustavo to catch you with that? Better let me hold onto it, old man. | Surprise 100 | That's awfully brash of you! You think you got what it takes? {mischievous glee} | 34 |
Happy 75 | The trick to "exploring" is to make sure no one knows you've done it. My neighbors, for instance, have no idea that I know so much about them! {mischievous glee} | 35 | ||
Surprise 50 | I'll make you a deal kid. You can borrow my key, IF you can find it without letting me see you take it. Good luck! {mischievous} | 36 | ||
MS12FinResidents | What's it like living at Tenpenny Tower? | Happy 100 | Now everyone's calmed down and back to their old selves. Not that I cared much for them to begin with, but they've stopped all the Ghoul foolishness. {jovial} | 37 |
Surprise 100 | They really are quite ignorant here. But where else could I retire and fit all my trophies? {jovial} | 38 | ||
What's it like living at Tenpenny Tower? | Happy 100 | I'm surprised by my fellow tenants. I used to think they were all closed minded idiots. Turns out they aren't so bad after all. {jovial} | 39 | |
MS12Greeting1 | "Daring?" Bet you had to earn that nickname, huh? | Neutral 50 | Maybe you’ve heard the GNR radio play? The Adventures of Herbert "Daring" Dashwood? That’s about me, you know. Based on my, um... earlier days. {reliving his glory days of youth} | 40 |
Surprise 100 | I even had a Ghoul manservant. Let me ask you you ever met a Ghoul before? { } | 41 | ||
MS12Greeting2 | Shouldn't you be napping or something? | Surprise 100 | Got a fire up your butt, eh? Better put that to good use. Go out exploring. Don't hang around these fools. You'll only want to blow your brains out. | 42 |
Happy 50 | Ah, to be young again. You know the G.N.R. radio play? The Adventures of Herbert ‘Daring’ Dashwood? That’s about me. Based on my... early days. {jovial} | 43 | ||
Surprise 75 | I had myself a Ghoul manservant and everything. So... you ever met a Ghoul before? { } | 44 | ||
MS12Greeting3 | <Say nothing.> | Neutral 50 | Not very lively are you? Perhaps you're just bored. You should go on an adventure. Nothing like a little bit of the unknown to motivate a person. {filling a void in conversation with a non-talkative person} | 45 |
Neutral 50 | That's what I did. In my... younger years. You know the G.N.R. radio play? The Adventures of Herbert ‘Daring’ Dashwood? That’s about me. | 46 | ||
Surprise 100 | Hell, I even had me a Ghoul manservant. Let me ask you you ever met a Ghoul before? { } | 47 | ||
MS12IntroToGhoul1 | Sure, I know lots of Ghouls. Killed my share, too. | Surprise 50 | Well. Then you know that some Ghouls aren't feral, and can be reasoned with. {doubting the player actually knows this} | 48 |
Sad 100 | Those Ghouls that keep trying to get into Tenpenny. They need to stop, before someone gets hurt. I think they live in the nearby Metro tunnels... {suggesting to the player what should be done} | 49 | ||
MS12IntroToGhoul2 | Only one thing I like less than Ghouls: old geezers giving me orders. | Anger 75 | If you weren't a child, I'd show you what this old man can do! {threatening} | 50 |
MS12IntroToGhoul3 | Sure, I've met some Ghouls. They're just people, trying to get by. | Surprise 100 | Ah... you've already learned some wisdom in your youth. Congratulations! {surprised and pleased} | 51 |
MS12ResidentsBranch | What's it like living at Tenpenny Tower? | Happy 50 | Well, until recently the only danger you ever faced in this fine establishment, was bumping into all the bloated egos floating around. {jovial} | 52 |
Happy 75 | But now there's a group of Ghouls nearby. I've tried explaining that they don't ALL want to eat you - though SOME do, of course. {jovial} | 53 | ||
Surprise 50 | Problem is, it's hard to tell which is which. Chief Gustavo has initiated a shoot first and ask later policy. If they're smart, they'll stay away. {jovial} | 54 | ||
MS12ResidentsGhouls About these Ghouls... |
I bet you know a thing or two about those Ghouls... | Happy 50 | Some Ghouls moved into the nearby Metro tunnel. There's a bunch of the so-called Feral Ghouls in there, but a handful seem the sociable type. {jovial adventurer} | 55 |
Sad 50 | I've tried explaining to my fellow tenants that not all Ghouls are monsters. But they don't seem to care. {sympathetic to the Ghouls} | 56 | ||
Fear 20 | The intelligent ones should stay away from our trigger happy protectors. If there're enough feral ones though, they could overwhelm security. {jovial, but with a hint of concern} | 57 | ||
MS12ResidentsGhoulsChoice1 MS12ResidentsGhoulsChoiceGood |
I can take care of this Ghoul situation, no problem. | Happy 100 | Aha! An adventurous soul like myself. If I wasn't retired, I might come with you myself. {jovial} | 58 |
MS12ResidentsGhoulsChoice2 MS12ResidentsGhoulsChoiceBad |
Better let the young folks handle things, old timer. | Anger 100 | You're lucky old men learn patience. But keep pushing your luck and I'll teach you a thing or two. {angry indignation} | 59 |
MS12ResidentsGhoulsChoice3 MS12ResidentsGhoulsChoiceNeutral |
Sure. Whatever you say. | Disgust 5 | Don't care? You might one day. {dismissing an arrogant youngster} | 60 |
MS12ResidentsNeighbors | How would you feel about having a few Ghoul neighbors? | Surprise 100 | Well, I wouldn't mind. But they'd better be civilized. The tenants here are real uppity and most wouldn't take kindly to Ghouls living here. {jovial} | 61 |
How would you feel about having a few Ghoul neighbors? | Surprise 75 | I wouldn't mind. It would certainly liven things up around here, that's for sure! {jovial} | 62 | |
MS12ResidentsNeighborsBad | It's wise to be afraid of Ghouls. | Neutral 50 | Yes. Many will chew off your arm if given the chance. It's true. But they aren't all bad. {jovial} | 63 |
MS12ResidentsNeighborsGood | So you wouldn't mind if some civilized Ghouls moved in? | Happy 50 | Like I said, it's fine by me. {jovial} | 64 |
MS12ResidentsNeighborsGoodPetition | Would you tell Mister Tenpenny that you wouldn't mind Ghoul neighbors? | Happy 75 | Of course! I wonder if they've ever been to Underworld. Now there's an interesting vacation destination! {(agreeing) jovial} | 65 |
MS12ResidentsNeighborsNeutral | Whatever. | Disgust 50 | Don't start conversations you aren't interested in finishing. {joival man getting annoyed} | 66 |
SpeechChallengeFailure | SpeechChallengeFailure | Surprise 25 | You'd like to know, wouldn't you? Well, if you knew enough to be trusted, you wouldn't go around asking questions like that. Sorry, kid. {grandfatherly scolding} | 67 |

DialogueTenpennyConv00 | DialogueTenpennyConv00 | Happy 75 | Haha! Nothing you can pin on me, Chief! But shouldn't you be out killing things in the Wasteland instead of pestering old harmless fogies like me? {jovial repartee with the security chief who suspects him of causing trouble} | 68 |
DialogueTenpennyConv00 | Happy 50 | My dear boy. You've got all the adventure you need, right here in these four walls. For starters, you can figure out how to make your wife happy. {amused, but telling him something important} | 69 | |
DialogueTenpennyConv00 | Happy 50 | It's a radio play, not a documentary. {amused} | 70 | |
DialogueTenpennyConv00 | Happy 50 | Let's you and I stick to finding trouble to get into here, before we rush out in the Wasteland again; I'll take Gustavo over a Behemoth any day. {playfully encouraging a young friend not to seek adventure} | 71 | |

DialogueTenpennyConv01 | Happy 50 | Hawthorne. Go easy on those remaining brain cells, alright? {teasing a friend but trying to make a point} | 74 | |
DialogueTenpennyConv01 | Surprise 15 | You should count yourself very lucky. I do. Most people die a horrible death out there in the Wastes. Excitement and danger often go hand in hand. {being sincere} | 75 | |
DialogueTenpennyConv01 | Sad 50 | I've had too kill far to many men... listen, Mrs. Cheng... have you tried talking to your husband about things? I think he really cares about you. {changing the subject to what the other person is really wanting to talk about.} | 76 | |

DialogueTenpennyConv02 | Happy 100 | Hehe. I'm sorry to hear that, Irving. Maybe I should take a look at your computer sometime. Heheh. {(trying not to laugh, as he is the one who keeps sabotaging his friends computer as a practical joke)} | 78 | |
DialogueTenpennyConv02 | Happy 50 | That's the spirit, girl! Every seeming setback is actually just a chance for your genius to shine! {praising a young friend for her ingenuity} | 79 | |
DialogueTenpennyConv02 | Happy 50 | Just trying to keep busy, I guess. I'm not sure I'm really cut out for the whole retirement thing. Just can't seem to sit still. {talking with a friend} | 80 | |
DialogueTenpennyConv02 | Surprise 50 | We'll just have to see about that! You watch out! I can be a very stealthy hunter! {playful banter with his mistress} | 81 | |
DialogueTenpennyConv02 | Sad 50 | Some men just don't have the hunting instinct, dear. You should try talking to him about your needs. {giving advice to a friend who wants her husband to pursue her more} | 82 | |
