I blew him off. Is it worth taking the deal; do you get anything more than just caps?

[Yhwach]

If you give the tools to far harbor, it helps with the ending a little bit; If you're short on caps then take it.

[SaveTheZombies]

So he doesn't pop up again. Thanks.

[VonArens]

Taking the deal is the worst option. No one is (or rather, should not be) desperate for 2k caps but it also locks you out from 2 follow up quests and the xp from that.

Caps you can always get, quest xp not so much.

[Trogliditis]

Kill him and you get 3200 caps off his corpse. First instinct is best instinct.

The best part about starting the DLC last night is that the outcomes of the choices aren't immediately available. I sat there for about 2 minutes trying to decide and then ran back to him two more times wondering if I was going to regret the decision. Not knowing and HAVING to make a decision regardless of being able to know the outcome is rare in games. And the internet makes it impossible to not know what the outcome will be for very long after something is new. Embrace it and make bad decisions now while you still can!

It's hard for developers to put too much depth into these type of mechanics/storylines however. As much as fans beg for it, a lot of other people scream, cry and demand refunds when they find out they can't be friends with everyone or that their decision is not only unreversable but led to something they don't like.

But I understand what you mean which is why I'm sticking by my decision regardless. I'm mostly curious if anyone helped him and found out what it was he was working on...or do you just get caps and never see him again.

I walked out of the building and his corpse was surrounded by ghouls.

*Shrug*

if you want caps but dont want to sell him the tools, kill him, he will have 3191 caps on his corpse, thats what i did

He was working on a cure for male pattern baldness and with those tools he could of completed it, but some long hair killed him for caps...

gd it. I need to be more of an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in game. It's far more profitable it seems.

[Player One]

LOL, i am playing on survival mode and when i exit i saw him running towards me so i instantly killed him.

[Big Daddy]

I killed him and took the caps + the tools but doing this can ♥♥♥♥ you over depending on what ending you want

[Defektiv]

Once I'm at a comfortable stopping point in my main save I'm switching over to another character and going full-tilt annihilation. The Commonwealth thought the nukes hurt..

[Jusey1]

Ghouls killed him for me... So I think the choice was pretty obvious.

I am thinking about doing a Chara playthrough of the game actually. Gonna get a mod install to remove the essential status from the Minuteman, companions, etc and then I shall give it a go.
